A single is taken comfortably but Virat runs aggressively for the second with Rajat caught ball-watching. Shashank Singh fumbles a fraction and throws wildly towards the bowler's end. Virat and Rajat Patidar were shaking hands at the striker's end momentarilybut a poor throw and Shreyas Iyer failing to hit the stumps towards the bowling end combined to secure a dramatic double for RCB.

Wadhera takes a good reverse cup catchjust above his head. Harpreet Brar gets his first wicket and breaks this 103-run stand for the second wicket.

Right then, we are done with the first game of a double header Sunday and it is RCB who are back to winning ways. Next up, it is round 2 of the 'IPL El Classico' as Mumbai Indians welcome Chennai Super Kings to the Wankhede Stadium. MI have opted to bowl first in that crucial game and you can simply switch tabs and catch our coverage. Cheers!
Jitesh Sharma is in at number 5.
STRATEGIC BREAK. The game remains in the possession of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal, with that centurion stand of 103 runs, just dashed off the possibilities of a collapse. Both notched up well-paced fifties of their own and have brought RCB in touching distance of the victory. Though Harpreet Brar got the better of Padikkal, but PBKS have lacked to take wickets at regularity. With just 26 needed off the last four overs, these two would aim to go for the kill to inflate their net run rate massively.
Shreyas Iyer is back on the field and resumes taking the leadership duties from the stand-in skipper, Stoinis.
The skipper of Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Rajat Patidar, walks out next in the middle.
Marcus Stoinis, the stand-in skipper, brings himself on.
Added trouble for PBKS! Arshdeep Singh, after fielding this down at deep square leg fence has walked outside the playing area seeking some medical attention. He appeared to have gotten his knee stuck into the surface while trying to dive to his left and field this one.
Time for a strategic break. RCB is on track to chase down the target set by PBKS, with Virat Kohli anchoring the innings. Removing Kohli will be crucial for PBKS, as he is expertly pacing the run-chase. Meanwhile, Shreyas Iyer's absence could impact PBKS's strategy, given his influential captaincy.
Shreyas Iyer is off the field and Marcus Stoinis is the stand-in skipper for Punjab. The reason for Iyer's absence is still unknown but it is reported that he wasn't feeling well.
Yuzvendra Chahal comes into the attack straight outside the Powerplay.
Marco Jansen is brought into the attack now. He replaces Xavier Bartlett.
Time for spin now. The Impact Sub for PBKS, Harpreet Brar, is into the attack. He replaces Arshdeep Singh.
RCB's Impact Sub, Devdutt Padikkal, is in at number 3. Also, it will be Xavier Bartlett to operate from the far end.
