How many would have imagined that Bangalore would be cruising to victory at 20/3? Certainly not me. But this unbeaten 4th wicket 126-run stand has taken Hyderabad to the cleaners.

OUT! Bhuvneshwar Kumar to AB de Villiers, OUT! AB de Villiers is out of here. Khaleel got the first big fish in the previous over, now Bhuvneshwar gets the other big fish. His second of the game. Good length ball around off. There is a hint of away swing on this one. There is a slip in place. AB de Villiers looks to run it down to third man but gets an outside edge which flied to the slip. Martin Guptill takes a regulation catch there. Royal Challengers Bangalore 20/3 in 2.5 overs

Shimron Hetmyer is the next batsman in.

176 to win then. Dew on offer. Can Bangalore chase this down? Will Hyderabad's bowling step up tonight? Let us hope for a good chase...Bhuvneshwar Kumar handed the ball, Virat Kohli and Parthiv Patel are out to open, let's get started.

Wow. 6, 4, 6, 4, (no ball+2), 1 and 4. Has that last over taken the game away from Bangalore?

TOP EDGE, FOUR! 28 runs from the final over. Hyderabad have got something to defend. A short ball, around middle, Kumar swings hard but gets a top edge. However, it sails over short fine leg and lands just inside the boundary! BANGALORE NEED 176 TO WIN. Sunrisers Hyderabad score 175/7 in 20 overs against Royal Challengers Bangalore in Bengaluru.

Off the inner half! Full and around off, Williamon swings hard but the ball goes off the inner half of the bat, past short fine leg.

To be honest, Pathan's wicket will not hurt Hyderabad much. Because that brings in Mohammad Nabi. But the visitors are losing their way. They are looking good to get to 170 at best, which might not be enough on this surface. Nabi and Rashid might be required to use the long handle...

A bouncer, around middle, Shankar lets it go through. Looks at the square leg umpire, expecting a wide but does not get it.

Vijay Shankar is in at number 5, replacing Pandey.

Pandey has been given his marching orders! Tough call for the third umpire. Numerous replays were seen for this. A short ball, outside off, Pandey dragged the pull towards deep mid-wicket. Hetmyer ran to his right, covering good ground and dived, claiming to have taken the catch. But Pandey was going nowhere and the umpires got together for a chat.

Sunrisers Hyderabad 61/3 in 7.5 Overs vs Royal Challengers Bangalore in Bengaluru.

Soft dismissal! Martin Guptill will be absolutely kicking himself. Had faced 22 balls, got to 30, had his eye in and got set. But then, thrown it away. A nothing ball, a nothing shot.

It should have been a casual single but Virat Kohli quickly gets across from short mid-wicket and takes it easily. Sunrisers Hyderabad 60/2 in 7.2 Overs vs Royal Challengers Bangalore in Bengaluru.

Outside off, dabbed to third man for one. SRH 59/1 in 7 Overs

CLASSY! Full and outside off, Pandey leans and drives it through the covers for a boundary!

Saha is smashing everything that is coming in his way, back-to-back three boundaries for the wicketkeeper-batsman. SRH 41/0 in 3.3 Overs

Smart batting this. There is no fielder at deep square leg. Tossed up delivery on middle and leg, Saha makes the most of it and gets down on one knee and sweeps it over square leg for a boundary.

HUGE SHOUT FOR A CATCH! Turned down by the umpire. Nothing from anyone else. No review taken. A short ball, around middle, Martin goes for the pull but misses. Parthiv collects and appeals but the umpire is unmoved. Did not look like there was a nick. SRH 29/0 in 3.5 Overs

We are all set to begin. The umpires walk out to the middle. Bangalore are in a hurdle before the players take their fielding position. Martin Guptill and Wriddhiman Saha are the openers for Hyderabad.
