11.35pm Watson is embraced by Sarfaraz. After Royal Challengers flexed their batting muscle and racked up 227, Warner set alight a fast start for Sunrisers. He brought up his fifty off 21 balls, but four wickets in four overs pulled the plug from the chase. Chahal was impressive in the middle overs, Rasool did his bit as well with those flat fizzers. Sunrisers' middle order was exposed and they also had to bear the anxiety of Nehra hobbling off the field two balls into his second over.
Warner: I won't take it away from AB and Kohli. Sarfaraz did his bit as well. It was a tough ask for the boys. Nehra has hurt his groin again. He will be out for a couple of games. Mustafizur was fantastic. We have to look back at positives and turn it around. We have a good batting track at Hyderabad. We should not lose wickets in clumps.
Kohli: We lost the toss and did not get what we wanted to. It was a really good effort from the batsmen and Parvez showed composure. It is never easy for the spinners to bowl in Bangalore. Parvez was the stand-out bowler for me today. Last year, me and AB had a good partnership in Mumbai. He hit balls as only he can. It was a pleasure playing with him. He took some pressure off me.
AB de Villiers, Man of the Match: I absolutely love playing here. It was a nice busy innings with Virat. We enjoy running between the wickets. Like I said, I have been scratchy, even in the nets. The bowlers have played together for a few years. Watson and Milne have come in and the youngsters are feeding off the experience. It is always important to start well and find your identity as a team. This is the kind of cricket we want to play this year.
That is all we have for you. Look out for the match report and other pieces. Goodbye and good night!

length ball on off, Karn slogs it in the air. Milne leaps at deep midwicket, catches the ball, but the momentum carries him over the ad boards. He smartly flicks the ball into play before going over. Good presence of mind. Dot!
