Sreshth will bring you the chase, and do join him to see if Sunrisers cause some trouble to Royals, or whether the latter keep the intense mid-table competition going with two more points.

Naresh: "Not even a single boundary in the last 17 balls, that was superb from SRH..!" --- And that might make all the difference in the end.

Sujesh G: "For the second game in a row, it's been a Sanju show for RR! Another batter contributing with a quick 30 or 40 would have made things different in the previous match. I fear it's going to be the same tonight too! A firm Royal fan!"

Here's Jaiswal speaking after the first innings: "I have just played normal cricketing shots. My aim is to set a good total whenever I go out to bat. My intent is just that if I get a loose ball, I hit a boundary. That is what I have in mind. Just watch the ball and play [here in the UAE]. Our total is really good, and we have good bowlers too. The wicket was sticky, and the ball was coming on slowly."

DaWolf: "Par score, but RR should definitely be favourites as this is a weak batting lineup for SRH."

7.40pm So a quiet last three overs means Royals are limited to 164. It is Samson again who delivers for them with the bat, as his attacking 82 takes them to a competitive score. As usual, he took his time at the start before going bang at the death. Jaiswal and Lomror chipped in with some runs, Bhuvneshwar and Holder in particular kept them in check.

19.6
1lb
Kaul to Tewatia, 1 leg bye, looks to slog-sweep that full just outside off but misses and is hit on his pads. The ball trickles to the off side, and they can only bag a leg-bye
19.5
1
Kaul to Lomror, 1 run, dropped by Samad at deep square leg! This is a slower ball and short of a length on middle. Lomror pulls from deep in his crease and survives, as Samad takes his eyes off the ball

Tewatia the new batter, but not the striker

19.4
W
Kaul to Parag, OUT, taken by Roy at long-off after going low to his right! Looked like there would be a near collision between him and Holder, who was running to his left with his eyes on the ball, but that is avoided. Parag tries to lift that full delivery in the slot on off, but only gets the height

R Parag c Roy b Kaul 0 (3m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Over the wicket to Parag

19.3
1
Kaul to Lomror, 1 run, slower ball, and yorker wide of off. Jammed toward point with a horizontal bat

Parag is the new man, but at the other end

19.2
W
Kaul to Samson, OUT, lobs that to long-on! The bat turns in his hands as he tries to use his wrists and bottom hand to loft that over the leg side. But the ball is pretty full and just outside off for that shot, which means he doesn't have the room for a free swing of the arms despite standing deep in his crease and making room

SV Samson c Holder b Kaul 82 (87m 57b 7x4 3x6) SR: 143.85

19.1
1b
Kaul to Lomror, 1 bye, Saha misses the direct hit at his end, and so Samson survives. He was pretty short of the crease and had given up too, as he ran in after Lomror missed his slog to this fullish ball wide of off which was also a slower ball

Kaul from over the wicket

Final over of the innings. 175 anyone?

With this, Samson now has the Orange Cap

Holder to Lomror, no run, wide-ish ball outside off, and Lomror looks to slog across the line, but is beaten
17.5
2
Holder to Lomror, 2 runs, dropped by Sandeep at short third man! Lomror looked to slice that fullish ball wide of off, but gets it off near the top edge as the ball balloons behind. Sandeep runs back and makes some ground, but the ball pops out his hand as he tries to grab at that

Reddy: "Are we about to see 100 from Samson today??" --- Could well be...

17.4
1
Holder to Samson, 1 run, back of a length ball outside off, and it is a slower ball, with the ball coming into him. Pulls this to long-on on the bounce
17.3

Holder to Lomror, 1 run, full-toss wide of off, and he hammers that to deep extra cover away from his body. That is the 150 up now

Over the stumps to Lomror

Holder to Samson, 1 run, lands that yorker right on middle and leg. Samson jams that back, as they rush for a single. Holder kicks it on to the stumps at the striker's end, but Lomror is in

Holder to Samson, FOUR, pulls that to beat short fine leg! This is on a shortish length on leg, and Samson is deep in his crease to this back-of-the-hand ball and pulls to the left of the man inside the circle
17.1
1w
Holder to Samson, 1 wide, starts with a slower ball that is on a fullish length on middle and leg. Slides down further, as Samson misses his pull with the ball passing under his bat. Wide called

Our forecast is up to 174 now

Kumar to Lomror, 2 runs, goes short to Lomror again. He pulls this ball on middle, as the man at deep midwicket runs to his left but doesn't collect the ball cleanly after a slide. But that was two anyway
