9:04pm Kohli stays unbeaten after opening the batting - the 16th time it has happened in the IPL - to finish on 83, but have RCB have got enough? He started off in top gear but even as he continued to motor along, the others around him struggled. Only Green and Maxwell managed to find the boundaries regularly, and then of course, Karthik at the end. But has Kohli's innings put RCB in a good position or are KKR in it?

Cameron Green after handing Kohli the Orange Cap: "Pretty happy with the total. Bit more freedom in the last couple of innings. Good to get in early today. There's certain bowlers in their team I haven't faced before but [Kohli] has, so that helped. They used the change of pace, hitting it in the wicket. Hopefully dew does not come in."

KKR will fancy their chances with a long batting line-up. Will they break the home-team winning streak? Join Sreshth to find out

Sudhir: "Honest opinion (and I know I'm right) - RCB missed a key play by not sending in D Karthik earlier, ahead of Patidar and Rawat. They are 30-40 short of a part total, I think." Might not be that big a difference, but yes, I think DK should have come in earlier given how little of the innings was left
