  • 19.6

    FREE HIT. SIX! Mitchell McClenaghan to Colin de Grandhomme. Off cutter length ball, wide outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control over long off for 6 runs. Finishes the innings in style, what an extraordinary end. RCB have ended up with a decent total thanks to de Granhomme taking his compatriot McClenaghan to the cleaners. It's going to be a really exciting chase, this one could go either way.

  • 19.6

    SIX! Mitchell McClenaghan to Colin de Grandhomme. Beamer, off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed in the air under control to deep square leg for 1 run. Oh dear, that's gone all wrong for McClenaghan. A massive full toss is easily thrashed into the stands and to make matters worse it's a no-ball for height. That is going to prove extremely costly for the visitors.

    Mitchell McClenaghan to Colin de Grandhomme. Off cutter back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot driving, to deep extra cover for 2 runs, fielded by Cutting.

    SIX! Mitchell McClenaghan to Colin de Grandhomme. Off cutter back of a length, down leg side on the back foot pulling, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs.

  • 18.5

    OUT! Caught. Jasprit Bumrah to Tim Southee. Off cutter length ball, wide outside off stump on the front foot flick, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket, by Cutting. Another one bites the dust, Southee swinging from the hip in trademark swashbuckling style but he can't get the required distance. Cutting holds his nerve to take the steepling catch as RCB sink further.

    OUT! Caught. Hardik Pandya to Washington Sundar. Off cutter length ball, to leg on the back foot pulling, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket, by Sharma.

  • 17.1

    OUT! Caught. Hardik Pandya to Mandeep Singh. Slower ball half volley, outside off stump on the front foot slog sweeping, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket, by Yadav. Looking to launch this into orbit but the connection is all wrong, and it's a simple catch for the man on the fence. A handy cameo by Mandeep but he's disappointed he couldn't kick on.

  • 15.6

    Hardik Pandya to Mandeep Singh. Slower ball back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pushing, to silly mid off for no runs, fielded by Sharma. The second timeout of the innings arrives with the hosts in an excellent position. Anything around 170 seems like it will be a tough chase, although dew might come into play during the second innings. Big four overs coming up in this match.

  • 15.5

    FOUR! Hardik Pandya to Mandeep Singh. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed past deep backward square leg for 4 runs. Swivelled behind square with power and control, Mandeep knew exactly where the fielder was and found the gap with style.

    SIX! Tim Southee to Ben Cutting. Slower ball half volley, wide outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control over long off for 6 runs. Wacked miles back but it's too little too late for Mumbai. RCB secure a vital victory by 14 runs.

    What a match we have been treated to this evening. Two IPL heavyweight franchises have given it absolutely everything tonight, and it is the hosts RCB who have landed the knock-out punch. The match see-sawed one way and then the other on a wicket that offered something for everyone. The Pandya brothers looked like they could pull off an almighty heist at one stage, but some composed death bowling by Tim Southee and Mohammed Siraj saw the hosts over the line. We'll be back tomorrow with more IPL action.

    FOUR! Tim Southee to Ben Cutting. Slower length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, well timed in the air under control past deep mid wicket for 4 runs. Clubbed to the fence, Cutting hasn't given up hope just yet. Can he perform a miracle?

  • 19.1
    Hardik Pandya c Virat Kohli b Tim Southee 50 (42)

    OUT! Caught. Tim Southee to Hardik Pandya. Slower ball half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, in the air uncontrolled to long on, by Kohli. Kohli snaffles a screamer at long on, surely that's the match in the bag now for RCB. Effortless brilliance by the Indian captain, swooping down low to clinch the ball an inch or so above the turf. It's party time in Bengaluru.

  • End of Over 19
    Over 19. 5 runs. Bowler: Mohammed Siraj. Mumbai Indians: 143/6 (rr 7.53)

    OUT! Caught. Mohammed Siraj to Krunal Pandya. Half volley, down leg side moves in front Scoop, leading edge in the air uncontrolled to backward point, by Singh. Could that be the final nail in the coffin? The crowd certainly think so, they are celebrating like crazy. Krunal was looking for a cheeky ramp shot over short fine leg but the ball balloons into the offside for an easy catch.

  • 18.2

    Mohammed Siraj to Hardik Pandya. Yorker, outside off stump on the front foot driving, to mid on for 1 run, fielded by Kohli.

  • 18.1

    APPEAL! Verified by umpire after REFERRAL. Mohammed Siraj to Krunal Pandya. Full toss, down leg side on the front foot flick, hit pad to silly point for 1 run, shy attempt by Siraj, appeal made for L.B.W. RCB burn a review with an awful appeal. I think maybe they just want to slow things down a bit.
