11.55pm That's it. Mumbai have picked themselves up after that hiccup against Sunrisers, and are back in the mix for a playoff spot. RCB have it all to do, and probably have to win all their remaining games. How will the rest of the season unfold? You'll have to tune into ESPNcricinfo if you want to find out in the minutest detail. Until next time, ta ta!

Krunal Pandya is the man of the match. "I was just trying to vary pace. The wicket was on the slower side and I just wanted to mix it up. Generally Bangalore is a heavy-scoring ground and I expected the same, but I got the idea, after a few balls, that it would be good to vary my pace here. When I was not playing IPL, my dream team was Mumbai Indians, and it's an honour to be part of the team."

Rohit Sharma: "It was a crunch game for us. Sets us up very nicely on the table. We bowled really well, we fielded really well, and we came out and batted really well. There was a hiccup in the middle but Jos and Polly finished really well for us. Second over, getting Kohli, and then getting de Villiers was really important, and we kept it really tight. 150 was always going to be a good score to chase here. I thought the surface was a little dry, it was a little slow, which is why we wanted to keep rotating our bowlers. They never got used to any one bowler. That was the idea behind containing them, and the plan really worked. Last game was a disaster for us, and we wanted to come here and play some good cricket, which is what we're known for."

Virat Kohli: "We're literally playing knock-outs now. Great knock from KL. I thought we weren't in the game at all till the 15th over, but good work from KL and Sachin to pull us back. But it was still asking too much from the bowlers. We were around 20 runs short, I think. We lost a couple of early wickets, dismissals you don't generally see - I got out, guiding it, literally slip catching. Credit to the spinners - Bhajju pa and Krunal bowled very well, and it isn't easy for spinners to bowl here. We gave 120 per cent effort on the field and that's what counts. If things could have gone our way a little bit in the end it could have been different. I love the pressure. It's a wonderful situation to be in. You can't relax in this situation, you literally have to win every game from here. It's going to take a lot of character but that's why you play cricket."

11.37pm Mumbai have coasted home, thanks to Pollard and Buttler, and some ordinary bowling in the closing stages from RCB. It was getting quite tight at one point, when Rayudu was dismissed. I'm not sure yet, but I think RCB will have to win all of their remaining games to qualify.

Aaron to Buttler, SIX runs

full-toss on middle stump, and Buttler clears his front leg and hammers that over wide long-on

18.3

Aaron to Pollard, 1 run

very full on off stump. Pollard wants to whip through midwicket, is a little too early into his shot, and ends up toe-ending it through the covers

Free-hit coming up.

Aaron to Buttler, (no ball) 1 run

that's a high full-toss on off stump, and Buttler opens up quickly to pull. Hits it in the air, down to the fielder at deep midwicket, but it's well over waist high, and no-ball has been signalled

18.2
Aaron to Buttler, no run

this one's just inside the tramline, and Buttler reaches out to slap it and can't make contact

18.2

Aaron to Buttler, 1 wide

another wide outside off. Looks for the slower ball, bowls it outside the tramline

18.1
1
Aaron to Pollard, 1 run

short outside off, swivels to pull to long-on

Here's Aaron.

Tiny margins of error if you're bowling the yorker. His first four balls were there or thereabouts, his last two didn't miss the mark by all that much. The last two went for six.
