PBKS 156/5 after 15 overs | Need another 50 runs off 30 balls
Akash Deep has struck from the other end as well now as Liam Livingstone (19) leaves Shahrukh Khan alone in the middle in this steep chase. Livingstone was looking really good but Anuj Rawat took an excellent catch to get rid of the Englishman. Punjab still very much in this chase of 206 but the odds slightly tilted in favour of Bangalore at the moment. Wanindu Hasaranga comes back into the attack for RCB.

Akash Deep to Liam Livingstone, OUT! TAKEN! Anuj Rawat with another catch in the match and his efforts in the field are making a difference here. Full and wide, Liam Livingstone throws his hands at it. Livingstone carves it towards the cover-point fence. Rawat races in from the fence and dives in front to take a magnificent catch. Akash Deep gets the last laugh and Livingstone has to depart, leaving the game in the balance once more.

Akash Deep to Liam Livingstone, Brilliant fielding in the deep from Anuj Rawat and he saves a certain boundary. This is banged in short and outside off. Livingstone hits it tennis-ball style and the ball seems to be racing towards the fence but it is cut off. Just the two taken.

Strategic Time-Out! Two wickets in the last over have just helped Bangalore get back into the game. Still, 61 runs needed in 36 balls and Punjab have a job in hand. Liam Livingstone and Shahrukh Khan need to make sure they take the team home. Also, Akash Deep is back into the attack.

Two in two for Siraj | Bangalore hit back | Punjab 145/4 after 14 overs
W W Wd Wd 1 0 Wd 1 1 - Mohammed Siraj has produced a game-changing over for Bangalore. Siraj got rid of dangerman Bhanuka Rajapaksa (43) first-ball of the over and then on the very next delivery removed newbie Raj Bawa for naught. Shahrukh Khan and Liam Livingstone in the middle now for Punjab Kings with their team still needing 61 runs off 36 balls.
