- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.5 stumped with ease! There was no turn there, and du Plessis is foxed by the ball coming on with the angle. He skips down early to try and loft at that good length ball on middle, but the ball sneaks in between his bat and pad to provide Samson with enough time to flick the bails 47/18.3 Raina holes out at deep midwicket! Goes down on his back knee to sweep this full ball on middle, with the ball also tossed up. But that was sent only high and without much power, with the ball landing exactly where the man was placed, as he didn't have to move an inch. Tewatia is pumped up, as it is another low score for Raina, as his poor season continues 57/214.3 well bowled! Sees Moeen stepping out and fires this wide to beat the bat, Samson completes a smart stumping. Third wicket for Tewatia. That's been called wide, but doesn't matter, the Royals have prised out a big scalp. 114/316.2 he's hoicked this across the line, completely deceived by the slower ball, but in hitting it to the long boundary at deep midwicket, he's picked out the lone man. Good catch by Phillips. 134/4Extras5 (w 5)TOTAL189/4 (20 Overs, RR: 9.45)Fall of wickets: 1-47 (Faf du Plessis, 6.5 ov), 2-57 (Suresh Raina, 8.3 ov), 3-114 (Moeen Ali, 14.3 ov), 4-134 (Ambati Rayudu, 16.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.2 nabbed at fine leg! Super Kings can breathe now. Thakur is pumped up. It was a short delivery on middle and leg, and Lewis looked to repeat that pull with a swivel, but Hazlewood was right back on the edge of the fine leg fence, and doesn't have to move anywhere. An aggressive partnership is broken, after Royals give Super Kings some early shock 77/16.1 and Asif strikes first ball! Bowls short on leg, as Jaiswal goes low and down on his knee only to have a late clip at that. The ball takes his glove on the way, and lands right in the gloves of Dhoni. That could well be a match-changing innings here 81/215.4 he's picked out Gaikwad at deep square! This was a superbly timed pull, but it was almost as if Samson forgot there was a man there. 170/3Extras7 (lb 1, nb 2, w 4)TOTAL190/3 (17.3 Overs, RR: 10.85)Fall of wickets: 1-77 (Evin Lewis, 5.2 ov), 2-81 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 6.1 ov), 3-170 (Sanju Samson, 15.4 ov)
