9.45pm A heartening comeback for RCB with a 95-run stand off just 57 balls, but their middle overs were almost disastrous when they kept losing wickets and went 28 balls without a boundary. They have got themselves a fighting chance, but CSK will be the happier side. DK says he was a bit rusty. "Right till the end, I was just fighting my form. I was rusty, I was trying hard, Anuj, young boy, played a special knock. It is a very very good pitch for batting. I wouldn't be surprised if we are a bit under-par. We will have to field very well and bowl out of our skins. The last over, he bowled really well, but I couldn' mconnect at all. If I could have hit one six that would be the difference between 182-183 and the 173 we got. But if we field well, which we are capable of, and looks like I won't be there so even better, we can fight."

That DK interview tells you what we have been suspecting: that this is a good pitch and that CSK had caused enough damage in the middle overs. Mustafizur was atbthe forefornt of it with four wickets in his first two overs, but the spinners also shut RCB down. Ashish Pant will bring you the chase.
