9.12pm An incredible acceleration, led by the new RCB captain and ended by the new RCB finisher. They were 57 for 1 after nine overs. And off the next 11 overs, five of them went for over 16. du Plessis led the charge with 88 off 58 after getting a chance early. Kohli let Faf be the aggressor, and after he fell, he allowed Karthik to toy with the field placements. Not much that Mayank Agarwal could do when the batters are playing such imperious shots. But hey, given how good the pitch is, there's no reason why 206 can't be chased. We'll be back with the chase shortly.

19.6

Sandeep Sharma to Karthik, 1 bye, RCB finish on 205 as DK finishes on a 14-ball 32. Went for a wide yorker and DK tried to play some sort of a cut but didn't get any connection. Keeper gets a glove, they scamper across for one. DK wants a wide call, but umpire Menon reckons that DK moved too much

19.5

Sandeep Sharma to Karthik, FOUR, continues around the stumps. Goes for the yorker outside off. But DK is up for the challenge. He moves to the off side, exposing all three stumps, before playing the slog sweep to deep midwicket despite the presence of the fielder
