Meanwhile, we've got plenty from our multi-sport offering. It has been a mixed season for Manchester United and Chelsea but the FA Cup final presents an opportunity to end the season on a high note. You can watch the game LIVE and also read up on all the build up on ESPN.in

Don't go too far away. Akshay G will be back soon to take you through the first half of the chase.

For those asking about all possible scenarios as far as qualification is concerned, here's S Rajesh simplifying it for you.

Umesh Yadav says: I have enjoyed the roles I've played. To bowl upfront and take as many wickets as possible. It was too hot out here today, pretty tired. We're just focusing on winning this. Run rates will make a difference, but for now, we're looking for a win and then see how it goes from there. The wicket is slow, 160 odd is a good score but we have good batsmen."

5.40pm Big flourish that didn't quite come, but Royals have a competitive score. How competitive against a firing RCB unit, we'll know soon. First impression: they could've looked to accelerate much more in the middle overs, especially when Rahane and Tripathi were batting. Not all is lost, they've gone bowling heavy today. Let's see if that could make a difference.

Southee to Gowtham, OUT, walks across, so Southee fires this full and wide, he can't carve it so decides to scoot a bye. Parthiv flicks the underarm throw to Southee, who breaks the bails at the bowler's end with Gowtham not even in sight.

K Gowtham run out 14 (5b 0x4 2x6) SR: 280

Southee to Gowtham, no run, bowls this full and wide, inside the wide line though as Gowtham leaves.
19.4

Southee to Gowtham, 2 runs, squeezes this full delivery to short third man, a direct hit at the bowler's end from short third man and Gowtham would've been gone. As it turns out, they sneak in an overthrow
19.3

Southee to Gowtham, SIX, too full, too straight and banged over long off. Hitting right out of the top drawer. Reach, height and timing - everything perfect for that stroke.
19.2

Southee to Gowtham, SIX, pulled magnificently. What were you doing inside the dressing room for so long, KG? Goes short and wide, Gowtham is across in a jiffy as he nails this pull in front of square to perfection.

Southee to Tripathi, 1 run, squeezes this full length delivery straight to extra cover

Mohammed Siraj to Klaasen, OUT, looks to clear long off, but no timing and Moeen takes a simple catch at the ropes. Klassen backed away, Siraj bowled it full and wide. Slowed the pace down as well, so he couldn't get any timing on that as well despite having a good reach. Useful knock nonetheless.

H Klaasen c Ali b Mohammed Siraj 32 (21b 3x4 1x6) SR: 152.38

Mohammed Siraj to Klaasen, no run, sees him backing away and bowls a slower one outside off, Klaasen can't reach this. Nice awareness from Siraj

Mohammed Siraj to Klaasen, 2 runs, skiddy bouncer, Klassen fetches this pull from way outside off, gets it into the gap between deep midwicket and long on
18.3

Mohammed Siraj to Klaasen, FOUR, full toss, he walks across and then scoops this deep into the stands at fine leg. Siraj looked for a yorker, missed his length completely.

Manish Bhatia: "I think Umesh Yadav has made a strong case to be included in the limited overs scene. While Bhuvi and Bumrah are death over specialists, Umesh can go after wickets early on or during the middle overs."

Mohammed Siraj to Klaasen, SIX, carved away over backward point, clears the ropes. Opened the bat face and then got underneath the full length delivery to put this away. Lovely

agastya: "this calculation of RCB NNR with 16 overs is not. Becoz if MI win, they will improve their NRR as well..." -- True. Ideal scenario is RCB win and SRH beating KKR. Then, what Mumbai do won't matter for Kohli & co.

Mohammed Siraj to Tripathi, 1 run, right into the blockhole, Tripathi backs away and squeezes this to cover

Siraj to bowl out now. 0-20 off three so far

Southee to Tripathi, 2 runs, down on one knee as he slogs this to deep midwicket where Kohli covers good ground and then dishes in a dive to stop that. The recovery too was top notch

Southee to Tripathi, 1 run, too full, yorker length on off, drilled to long-off

Remember: RCB will have to chase any target within 16 overs to finish with a better NRR than Mumbai.

Ravi Shekhawat: "Can't understand what's the point of not playing Prashant Chopra. They've picked Binny ahead of him despite a poor batting record. Not like he bowls regularly either. The idea of bidding for Binny itself seems obsolete." -- Who knows, he may prove you wrong today.
