- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 poked back to the bowler! Boult leaps to his right in his followthrough, closes his fingers around a popped chance, in the air for an eternity. A full-length inswinger, stopping on the batter and Prabhsimran's hard hands do the rest. A huge scalp in his first over, yet again, for Boult! 2/15.3 pinned on the shin and that's plumb! Dhawan kneels into the sweep but he's beaten on length as the ball pitches in line and thumps him in front of middle. No thought of a review. Huge wicket! 46/33.4 too easy at midwicket! A soft dismissal, but Taide's beans were pumping. Back of a length, and spannered to Padikkal on the edge of the circle, high on the bat so little power through the pull. A timely wicket for RR after a rowdy few overs 38/26.3 swings for the hills, stumps splattered! And a chastising exit for Livingstone, after his recent heroics. Never at the races tonight, and lost patience with that attempted launch across the line. Kings in a hole now 50/413.5 slower ball, straight up in the air! Oh no, that's curtains for Jitesh. A tricky catch, tracking back in the covers from the sub fielder Ferreira, but well judged to dent Kings' hopes of that grandstand finish 114/5Extras6 (nb 1, w 5)TOTAL187/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.35)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Prabhsimran Singh, 0.2 ov), 2-38 (Atharva Taide, 3.4 ov), 3-46 (Shikhar Dhawan, 5.3 ov), 4-50 (Liam Livingstone, 6.3 ov), 5-114 (Jitesh Sharma, 13.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR14.3 A difficult shot to play and get out! Ellis gets Jaiswal. It is s low full toss on middle and off, he looks to play the switch-hit over the off side. Gets it off the middle of the bat to Rishi Dhawan at backward point. Either side of that fielder or above him it would have been four. 137/41.4 Pinned in front! No second though from the umpire and he raises the dreaded finger immediately. Spears it on a length outside off, angling in on off and middle. Buttler's feet are cemented as he stands on off to flick it, almost falls over. Misses the ball and is hit right on the pads. Rabada and the Kings are ecstatic. A hat-trick of ducks in IPL 2023 for Buttler. 12/19.5 Taken on the second attempt by Harpreet! Two turbanators get into the act and that's all from the DDP show tonight. Arshdeep bowls it on a length outside off at 118.4 kph. He goes back and looks to slice it between short third and backward point. The lack of pace means he ends up ending it towards backward point, where Harpreet jumps, gets two hands to it but it pops out, yet manages to hold on on the second go. 85/210.5 Catching practice to deep square leg! Nicely tossed up, full on the pads. Samson gets his front foot down and looks to heave this nicely over deep square leg. Flicks this right down Rishi Dhawan, the sub's throat in the deep. Chahar fold his hands in celebration. 90/318.5 Shikhar Dhawan has pulled off a stunner, or has he? He dives forward to catch that and then slaps his thigh in celebration. The umpires would want to have another look. Curran bowls it outside off, Hetmyer slaps it aerially towards cover, where Dhawan has his fingers under the ball. 179/617.6 Rabada has the last laugh. Nails the yorker on middle and leg, he looks to whip it away but gets a leading edge to backward point. Taide makes no mistake and Parag walks back dejected. 169/5Extras9 (lb 1, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL189/6 (19.4 Overs, RR: 9.61)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Jos Buttler, 1.4 ov), 2-85 (Devdutt Padikkal, 9.5 ov), 3-90 (Sanju Samson, 10.5 ov), 4-137 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 14.3 ov), 5-169 (Riyan Parag, 17.6 ov), 6-179 (Shimron Hetmyer, 18.5 ov)
