9.45pm Jekyll-Hyde innings from Kings XI Punjab. Rahul teed off at the top but Umesh Yadav carved up the middle order with his pace and bounce. Karun Nair and R Ashwin then flickered briefly, but the rest of the batting line-up crumbled. Umesh was complemented by Woakes and Sundar. As it stands, RCB need 156 to get on the board. Be back soon for the chase.

Washington Sundar: I really wanted to do well. Today at the smaller ground, I did not want to flight the ball and tried to contain.
