I will be trading with a pot of £500 with all prices taken from Betdaq


1840: Well this game is all but done thanks to Dravid, sadly we missed out on getting on the Banga bandwagon but were hoping for some juicy prices if one of Sriram/Dravid got out soon after Kallis. That would have given us about 3.0 on BRC which would have been a big bet for us, in the end we just missed out!

I hope you enjoyed our brief coverage today and I look forward to you joining me next time!

1810: Sorry for the lack of updates but there's been very little to talk about as Sriram/Dravid rotate the strike slowly and steadily. 

1735: Kallis is out, and remarkably we see Rahul Dravid walking to the crease to join Sridharan Sriram. Neither are renowned for their T20 abilities!

1710: Big congratulations to KKR, the travelling circus of the IPL, for collapsing in a pathetic heap. This tournament has shown that defending scores is pretty tough overall, and a score of 160 shouldn't trouble a competitive Bangalore side. The 1.4 on Bangalore to chase these down will surely tempt some players out there, but we're looking for KKR to get a foothold in the game and hopefully some nice prices on BRC.

1657: KKR were off to their best start in the competition - 62/1 after 6. They've now collapsed to 137/6. Shambles.

1655: KKR really stumbling along now, with McCullum holing out vs Kumble. 136/5 after 17.

1642: And now they're four down, with Vinay Kumar getting rid of Mathews. From looking like they might reach 190/200, KKR are doing their best to screw this up!

1636: These young Indians just can't play the short ball, as Tiwary proves to Kallis' glee. KKR three down and BRC favs again.

1630: Ganguly out and KKR are 103/2 after 12, and 1.9 to back. I'm fairly untrusting of both of these teams at the moment, so ideally we'll be looking to get some value later on in the game. Sit tight, folks!

1600: You can have evens the pair with Kolkata 61/1 after 6 overs, with a dangerous-looking Chris Gayle departing for a lightning 34.

1520: Both sides have made one change each, with Sharma coming in for Abdulla and Sriram replacing Pandey.

1515: Anil Kumble wins the toss and Bangalore will bowl first.
