9.12 pm Titans were brilliant, Royals were abysmal. It's not often you see a side bowled out in the IPL, even rarer to see it happen in the first innings inside of 18 overs. Everything unraveled after that Jaiswal runout and things went from bad to worse for the Royals. Still, Titans have bungled an easy chase earlier this week so the result isn't a foregone conclusion, though Titans are heavily favored to finish off this match with two points. Who will prevail? Stay tuned for the start of the chase when Himanshu Agrawal will be taking over the central commentary position.

Titans bowler Josh Little: "That's the beauty of having... well I don't know how many bowlers we have in this starting lineup. But so many bowlers that can hit good areas and luckily that came off tonight. [On working with Ashish Nehra] We speak most days, all day to be honest about bowling. So he's been a great help for me, and just learning about the IPL. It's been great. He definitely knows how to speak all right, but so do I. So that's good. We work in tandem nicely. I just think it's one of those wickets that when you get through the new ball, it's actually quite hard to get away. So hitting those good areas for as long as possible, I think that team is going to come out on top. So hopefully we can chase it down now. I go back tonight after the game [to Ireland] to play three ODIs and then come back hopefully for the qualifying part of the [playoffs] and then hopefully for the final."

Sharma to Zampa, 1 run, OUT, brilliance from Abhinav Manohar in the field with a direct hit from the boundary! Slower length ball angled across seventh stump produces a miscued heave swirling high over extra cover. It looks like it could be a chance but the fielder running back from the edge of the ring can't get there as it lands just out of his reach. However, Manohar was charging in from the sweeper boundary and collects off one bounce, firing in a sharp one-bounce throw that skids into the striker's end stumps to deny Zampa coming back for a second run. He's out by two yards.

Strategic timeout called.

That six by Boult took out the TV cameraman who was stationed just beyond the LCD ad boards at midwicket. He's getting some medical attention now. Looked like it hit him in the midsection. Very lucky to have not been hit in the head based on the downward arc.
