- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.4 and VK strikes early, what a bowling combination change! the effort ball, quicker than his three previous deliveries, pitches middle and off and makes him play and leaves him enough to take the edge, and Dravid at wide slip is placed perfectly for it 3/18.6 Man wins the Man v Boy game! This time Bisla looks to scoop Kumble (seriously?) over short fine, and leaves the stumps exposed, and Kumble nails the off stick with a straight delivery 66/211.1 soft end to a dangerous-looking innings, Sanga picks a short ball, pulls it nicely but also picks out Kallis at deep square leg 84/317.4 don't tell me this was a plan! another full toss on the pads and he has timed it sweetly straight down deep midwicket's throat. Big wicket, Yuvraj could have taken this innings to an imposing total 149/419.5 Bopara wants Irfan on strike and risks a second that is not on as it has gone straight to long-on, and Pandey's flat throw is right by the stumps and a new man now will face the last ball 180/5Extras11 (b 2, lb 1, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL181/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.05)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Shaun Marsh, 1.4 ov), 2-66 (Manvinder Bisla, 8.6 ov), 3-84 (Kumar Sangakkara, 11.1 ov), 4-149 (Yuvraj Singh, 17.4 ov), 5-180 (Irfan Pathan, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR6.6 and immediately there is action! KP drills a short ball back at Sharma who misses the catch but gets a deflection onto the non-striker's stumps to find Pandey backing up and not back in. Freak dismissal 54/24.1 out first ball, Kallis looks for the big booming drive through the off side, ends up going too hard and edges a straight angling delivery 28/115.3 another full toss claims a wicket! could be a big wicket! Kohli is looking to send this full toss to Chandigarh but gets the toe end straight to Irfan at deep midwicket 130/317.6 and finally somebody has held onto a catch! Uthappa walks down the wicket to send this flying down the ground again, but gets a toe edge through to Bisla.

Match Coverage
All Match NewsA day to forget for Punjab
Punjab's batting never imposed itself, the bowlers lacked the venom to stop Bangalore, and their fielding … well that was just deplorable
Punjab v Bangalore, IPL 2010, Mohali
Another loss for sloppy Punjab
An amateurish fielding display from Kings XI Punjab and one over of carnage from Robin Uthappa tipped the match Royal Challenger Bangalore's way after ten overs of sensible batting from Kevin Pietersen and Virat Kohli had kept the game evenly poised
