5:07pm Wow, that was quite a finish at the end. Rawat ensuring that RCB got more than 170 with an 11-ball unbeaten 29. Earlier, du Plessis and Maxwell scored fifties, like they did in the reverse fixture and kept RCB going through the middle. Maxwell, in particular, was very impressive with the way he kept transferring the pressure onto the bowlers. RCB now have 171 on the board, which on a surface that has not been very conducive to stroke-play, is a very good score to have.

As for RR, they would not be pleased with how they ended the innings. Prior to that, though, they did well to trigger a mini-collapse just before the onset of the death overs. At that point, it seemed they would restrict RCB to a score under 160. It did not quite transpire that way but with the firepower they have, they will back themselves to get the job done. Do join us in a bit for the run-chase!

Mike Hesson: (On the score) I think it is slightly above-par. Everyone that batted thought something around 160 would be tough to chase. It (Rawat's cameo) will lift us. Good for Anuj as well, shuffled around a bit. We have always known he has the power, so good for him to do a job for us at the end.

Asif to bowl the final over. Can RCB get to 165?

Abhi: "This is following a very similar pattern to the game earlier between these 2 sides at the Chinnaswamy, with RCB losing their way, but bowling really well in the powerplay later" -- RCB would hope for a similar result as well...

Chahal to bowl the penultimate over. This is a crucial, crucial moment in the game

Rawat is the new batter in at 7. Two left-handers at the crease for RCB now

Sandeep to bowl the 18th. How many more can RCB get from here? Is 170 still on the cards?

Chahal is back now. He has two overs left still
