- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.3 sliced to extra cover! Another change of pace ball by Arshdeep. He bowls this pretty full on off, as Lewis looks to go inside out over cover, but mistimes this time. Agarwal goes low right on the edge of the circle to complete the catch. Much-needed breakthrough for Kings 54/114.2 oh dear, Jaiswal is heartbroken! Out for 49, and maybe pays the price for becoming a bit tentative after getting close to 50. Full ball on middle. Looks to work it to midwicket, but the ball angles away, takes a leading edge, and Mayank at short cover dives forward to dismiss Jaiswal. This will disappoint Jaiswal immensely, but his anchoring innings has given Royals the base for a slog-overs assault from here on 136/47.1 nabbed by Rahul one-handed! Samson goes for the slash to this good length ball slightly wide of off, and gets a top edge. The ball flies off his bat, as Rahul hangs out his right glove while leaping after the ball comes to him a touch higher too. Very good catch to send back his counterpart 68/211.5 that's what Allen can do! And Arshdeep gives Livingstone a flying kiss. Short of good length, and Livingstone aims for that cow-corner six again. Struck well, but that's irrelevant when the flying Fabian Allen is in that region. Runs to his right from deep midwicket, then dives to his right, and the ball sticks in his hands despite a hard fall! Livingstone out after a cameo. Big wicket for the Kings to get in the 12th over 116/317.1 full on the fifth-stump line. Lomror looks to hit a six over long on, but the timing off the bat is not perfect. Markram at long on with a simple catch. But what a momentum-making innings this has been from Lomror! Was brutal on Hooda. 169/616.3 holes pout at long on! And Parag will be disappointed on missing out. Full just outside off stump, and he goes for the big one over Shami's head. Struck a bit more towards the on side, and that brings long on into play. Runs to his left, gobbles a catch 166/518.1 beautiful! Gets the pace up, goes for the yorker, and successfully delivered at the base of leg. Tewatia looks to protect his toes, and in the process is late to bring the bat down. Stumps knocked back 175/718.5 South African caught by South African This was in the slot, to be fair. Full just outside off, but Morris ends up slicing a lofted shot. Too high off the bat, has the height as it goes into the night sky, but the distance is missing. Second wicket for Shami in the over. 178/819.5 that's four for Arshdeep as he gets under the catch himself. His best IPL figures too! Slower ball, back of a length. Sakariya looks to pull, but sliced up in the air. Arshdeep runs forward, settles under it, stretches forward and takes the catch 185/919.6 what did I tell you at the start of the over? Of course Arshdeep can! Yorker on off. He backs away to drive through cover. But the ball goes under the bat and breaks off stump. Smile for Arshdeep as he takes his five-wicket haul and Rajasthan Royals are all out for 185 185/10Extras9 (lb 4, w 5)TOTAL185 all out (20 Overs, RR: 9.25)Fall of wickets: 1-54 (Evin Lewis, 5.3 ov), 2-68 (Sanju Samson, 7.1 ov), 3-116 (Liam Livingstone, 11.5 ov), 4-136 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 14.2 ov), 5-166 (Riyan Parag, 16.3 ov), 6-169 (Mahipal Lomror, 17.1 ov), 7-175 (Rahul Tewatia, 18.1 ov), 8-178 (Chris Morris, 18.5 ov), 9-185 (Chetan Sakariya, 19.5 ov), 10-185 (Kartik Tyagi, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.5 another one out on 49! Jaiswal a few hours ago, Rahul now. Good length ball angling across. Tries to cut through point but the slower ball gets a thicker edge. Straight to Tyagi at short third man 120/112.6 tossed up, full outside off. Goes for the inside out drive over cover, but sliced it instead. In the air, flies to deep point, and Livingstone isn't dropping those! There's the second opener gone, Agarwal out for 67 126/219.3 guided....to the keeper! Overpitched just outside off. Pooran opens the bat's face to run it down to third man. But all he has done is poked it straight to Samson. Kings need 3 off 3. And it's a new batter facing the next delivery. 183/319.5 make that three in 1! Tyagi takes another wicket. Full and wide outside off stump. Looks to drive away from his body, and it takes an edge to Samson. The new batter will face the last ball. 183/4Extras9 (nb 1, w 8)TOTAL183/4 (20 Overs, RR: 9.15)Fall of wickets: 1-120 (KL Rahul, 11.5 ov), 2-126 (Mayank Agarawal, 12.6 ov), 3-183 (Nicholas Pooran, 19.3 ov), 4-183 (Deepak Hooda, 19.5 ov)
