Breaking news: Trescothick has returned home from India following a recurrence of a stress-related condition. Somerset are due to play Eagles tomorrow in Hyderabad. We'll have more on that story on the site ...
Victoria's victory today has given them an outstanding chance of qualifying for the semi-finals. Bangalore's campaign has been hit badly, not only do they not have any points, their net run-rate would have also taken a hammering.
Andrew McDonald is the Man of the Match for his spell off 4 for 21 that pulled back Bangalore's fast start. Victoria are now sitting pretty with four points, Bangalore have none. Thanks for all the emails today, hope you've had fun. Cheers.

"What is going on!? RCB have given away 21 extras already - that's a sixth of what they are defending!! And Steyn is the biggest culprit it seems. If they're going to bowl such rubbish, might as well save our millions and get my grandma to chuck some pies instead."Somewhere, Abhishek Saxena is angry.
