9.10 pm Gujarat had a lengthy lull in the middle of their innings where plenty of singles were being collected but no boundaries. Will that cost them? Superb fielding overall by Rajasthan, though Miller being dropped on 6 by Zampa may come back to bite them. Who will prevail in the chase? Stay with us for the start of the reply.

Chahal puts on the purple cap after retaking the overall lead in the wickets column for this year's tourney with his 1 for 36.

Our stats man Rajesh has chimed in with this nugget during the break: "Luck Index reckons the cost of that Zampa drop off MIller was 7 runs. So, instead of the 40 runs from 23 balls that Miller scored after the drop, the other batters would have scored 33 off those 23, had that catch been taken. That means RR would have been chasing 171, not 178."

Sandeep Sharma to Rashid Khan, 1 run, OUT, slower bouncer on the wide guideline, Rashid flat bats this down the ground to long-on. They turn back initially for two before Tewatia decides he wants the strike for the final ball of the innings. Relay from Buttler comes in to Sandeep with Rashid stretching to get his bat back across the line. It's extremely tight. Will not matter in terms of a run or not since it's at the non-striker's end after one was completed. All that matters here is Rashid's average having another dismissal calculated into it or not. Plenty of time being used on this... Third umpire says Rashid is out. Hmmm... looked like he was in to me but it matters not.

Rashid Khan run out 1 (4m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 100.00

Dropped on 6 off his seventh ball on a straightforward caught and bowled chance by Zampa, Miller ends with another 40 runs off his final 23 deliveries.
