Josh Inglis evidently took umbrage with my previous post, smashing a poor short ball over mid-wicket for six.

However, Krunal Pandya responds well, conceding just a single off the next five balls.

Well, well, well. At the 10-over mark, you'd say it is advantage RCB.

There's not much in it - RCB were 87-2 at the same stage - but their tails are up after removing Shreyas Iyer.

Time for one final vote - hit the thumbs. Up for RCB, down for Punjab Kings.

Krunal Pandya is playing a huge role for RCB. He's taken 1-7 from his two overs and is yet to concede a boundary.

Josh Inglis takes an instant fancy to Suyash Sharma, smacking him wayyyy over deep mid-wicket for six.

Prabhsimran Singh, who had been holding up the innings somewhat with his run-a-ball 18, also frees his arms with a thumping six.

Time for a strategic timeout.

Excellent bowling from Krunal Pandya, who is sporting a fetching red bandana and has a blue towel tucked into the back of his shirt.

Just three singles off the over. Prabhsimran Singh tried to move across his stumps to get in position for a big heave on a couple of occasions but Krunal followed him every time.

There's a lengthy pause as RCB make a substitution. Mayank Agarwal makes way for Suyash Sharma.

Krunal Pandya will bowl the seventh over.

A bright finish to the powerplay for Punjab Kings, with Josh Inglis dispatching Yash Dayal's penultimate delivery for a hefty pulled six. RCB also burned a review for a possible caught behind against Inglis but his attempted scoop was nowhere near the ball.

After six overs, Punjab Kings are 52-1. RCB were 55-1 at the same stage.

I can't call this.

Just when you think RCB have dragged themselves back into the game, Priyansh Arya strikes back-to-back fours to wake up the scoreboard operator.

Better bowling from Bhuvneshwar Kumar, conceding just four runs.

On commentary, the words butter chicken have been mentioned. Butter chicken in Ahmedabad, carbonara at The Oval, and for Elizabeth in Salford? A comparatively sad meal deal.

RCB make an early bowling change, introducing Josh Hazlewood into the attack, and the Australia international really should have had a wicket with his fourth delivery.

Prabhsimran Singh hits the ball straight down the throat of Romario Shepherd in the deep but he puts it down. Shepherd, if you remember, was dropped in the first innings, so maybe was just returning the favour. Moral victories and all that jazz.

It's all going the way of the batting side at the moment.

Two more boundaries to the tally.

That's reassuring to hear, James. Even more reassuringly, I'm also still here.

Priyansh Arya gets Punjab Kings' chase off the a positive start, picking a gap in the field to dispatch Bhuvneshwar Kumar for four.

Prabhsimran Singh, on as an impact player in place of Yuzvendra Chahal, finishes the over with a six. It only just clears Phil Salt on the rope but the scoreboard won't show that. 13 off the over.

The trophy is looking shiny on its plinth. The players are making their way to the middle.

Let's get this chase under way.

One of these sides will win their maiden men's IPL title tonight.

Punjab Kings must chase 191 to be crowned champions. Can they do it?

Thumbs up for an RCB win. Thumbs down for Punjab Kings.

Virat Kohli top-scored for RCB with a relatively sedate 43 (35) while Rajat Patidar (26 off 16), Liam Livingstone (25 off 15), and Jitesh Sharma (24 off 10) also made contributions.

Arshdeep Singh and Kyle Jamieson took three wickets apiece, with Arshdeep striking three times in the final over to derail RCB's hopes of posting 200+.
