DRINKS! Punjab are cruising with their skipper adamant to not leave it too late and have that nervous end. The boys from North of India look well on course to do the double over Kohli's men. They need just 26 off 24 balls. If they manage to lose it from here then it will be a disaster class from them. Only a miracle can see Bangalore win this game. Can they do the unthinkable?

Review time! Gayle has opted to have a look at the on-field review against him for the LBW. Feels he has got some bat on it. What does Ultra Edge say? A spike as the ball passes the bat....NOT OUT!
