All over - DC win by 4 wickets

Successive defeat #6 for Royal Challengers Bangalore - becoming just the second team since DD of 2013 to do so. They tried to trigger a late escape a la KXIP but just didn't have enough runs to push a tentative DC on the brink. Chris Morris and Rishabh Pant were irresponsible with their shot-selection but Shreyas Iyer had done enough with his half-century after Rabada's four-fer cramped the hosts towards the end.

Chris Morris goes!

Another collapse on the cards? Surely, not? DC only need five off the last 12 balls here, but stranger things have happened - particularly with Delhi Capitals!

Shreyas Iyer falls...

...but RCB are within touching distance of becoming just the second team in IPL history to lose their first six fixtures of a season. DC need just five more to win.

Shreyas Iyer's first fifty of the season

And he gets there of 38 balls. His shots have not been convincing all the time but he's done the important job of hanging around, considering DC's vulnerability to a sudden collapse.

WICKET - Ingram trapped leg before

Can RCB dream again? Colin Ingram tried to play an awkward scoop shot and ended up getting struck on the pad. Moeen Ali was convinced it was in line, and stood vindicated as the umpire agreed with him. The South African considered reviewing it but eventually decided otherwise and walked off.

Chahal leaks runs too

Another costly over for RCB. Ingram nailed a sweep shot on the first ball and Iyer spotted the short ball early and played a convincing cut shot off the last ball in what turned out to be a 12-run over.

Ingram goes after Negi

The left-arm spinner teased the South African with deliveries full and outside the off-stump, before Ingram got the better of that line and length. Crucial over in terms of where RCB are as DC reduce the equation from 70 off last 60 to 56 off the last 54.
