- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.3 Brilliant catch from Mavi running to his right from long-on! And that's that tonight for Buttler. He had decided to tee off, clearly. Got a fair piece off the full ball on middle. Would have been a six, if not for Mavi, who timed his jump perfectly to catch that above his head. 55/22.1 And Umesh strikes in the powerplay, not for the first time this season! Another cheap dismissal for Padikkal. Spears it full on off and middle, Padikkal looks to work it away but ends up pushing it back off the face of the bat. Umesh stretches his right hand and takes it on the second go. Delight for the Knights, dismay for Royals. 7/117.1 Deep midwicket continues to be a popular catching zone today! Fullish length ball on off, Samson skies this a mile high but doesn't get the distance. Rinku Singh gets back into position very early to set his body before taking a step forward from the rope to take a safe catch at waist height. 115/513.1 Karun charges this and telegraphs it way too early. Anukul drags the length back very short, Karun continues on with a cross bat swipe to a short ball on fifth stump. Rinku Singh came in off the rope initially at deep midwicket before backpedaling and taking a head high catch five yards in from the rope. 90/316.6 slower ball at 122 kph on off stump lands on a good length, heaves this toward deep midwicket but doesn't time it well. Anukul makes a casual jog 10 yards to his left along the rope and takes this at chest height in stride facing long-on three yards in from the rope. 115/4Extras9 (lb 2, nb 2, w 5)TOTAL152/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.6)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Devdutt Padikkal, 2.1 ov), 2-55 (Jos Buttler, 8.3 ov), 3-90 (Karun Nair, 13.1 ov), 4-115 (Riyan Parag, 16.6 ov), 5-115 (Sanju Samson, 17.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.4 Indrajith is bounced out with the fine leg coming into play right away. He only managed to get a top edge off the pull that was safely gobbed up by Ashwin at fine leg. Good comeback by Prasidh after the boundary previous ball. 32/23.1 A delightful sight for a fast bowler. The stumps lighting up the alley! Finch falls early yet again and he wouldn't want to watch the replay. Length ball outside off, he looks to force the issue through the off side and only ends up playing it on. Immediately throws his head back in disgust as Kuldeep leaps to celebrate. 16/112.5 short ball angled down leg, big nick on a pull shot and it looks like he's gloved this to Samson. The umpire incredulously signals it as a wide. Samson signals for DRS immediately and I think he'll win this. Sure enough, spike shows up on ultra edge passing the glove. Seemed fairly obvious live but Samson has DRS as insurance. 92/3Extras15 (lb 4, w 11)TOTAL158/3 (19.1 Overs, RR: 8.24)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Aaron Finch, 3.1 ov), 2-32 (Baba Indrajith, 5.4 ov), 3-92 (Shreyas Iyer, 12.5 ov)
