U Yadav to G Gambhir, Hurls it wide outside off, moves away, Gambhir reaches out to it but ends up missing it.

U Yadav to J Roy, Off the mark in a streaky manner. Full and swinging away on off, Roy gets an inside edge as he attempts to drive it through the covers. Behind square on the leg side and that's a single.

U Yadav to J Roy, Good start from Umesh. Gets nice shape on this. Lands it on a length in the channel outside off, Jason Roy covers his sticks and shoulders arms to it.

We are ready to begin as the players, who follow the umpires out, take their place on the ground. Jason Roy and Gautam Gambhir will open for Delhi, while Umesh Yadav is handed the new ball first up. A slip is in place. Here we go...

Gautam Gambhir says this is a chasing ground, but the toss isn't in their control so will look to bat well. Mentions there's one change as Harshal Patel (debut) comes in for Mohammed Shami. Reckons the bowling is something they've had to work on a bit more, so the attempt will be to do well in that department.

Virat Kohli says there's a little rain around and the outfield is already wet, and it might get worse so good to bowl. States there's one change as Manan Vohra replaces Sarfaraz Khan. Ends saying both teams are in a similar position so will come out hard.

TOSS - Bangalore win the toss and elect to field!

Pitch Report - Matthew Hayden doing the pitch report says the surface is excellent for batting as there isn't a lot of grass cover. Adds the first match at this venue had a par score of 160, but the second one had a lot of runs in it. States that because of the rain, the team winning the toss will most likely decide to chase, keeping the DLS in mind.

Focusing a bit on the teams now. Bangalore host Delhi at the Chinnaswamy for what is going to be a vital contest for both teams involved. A win is crucial for both Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir. The confidence is a bit shot for both, as they are coming off defeats, one which both could have avoided. Virat Kohli is in prime form, but not much of the same can be said for his teammates. Delhi, well, are blowing hot and cold as well. There seems to be a lot of reliance on Jason Roy, as the others seem unable to find their groove. Maybe a change of fortunes in store tonight. For which one though? Stay tuned to find out...

It's the second game of a fine Saturday evening. Some bittersweet news for you folks first up. It has been raining in Bengaluru since the past couple of days, so the teams didn't have any practice sessions either. It's not raining at the moment, but there is forecast of rain through the evening. Let's try to stay positive and hope it doesn't show up to ruin things.
