9.00pm And the covers are off. The rain has passed. We'll be fine to restart.

8.55pm The covers are on the pitch. This is very light shower coming through.

8:47 pm Royals try to shake up the lineup with a string of changes and it has achieved some measure of the desired outcome with Smit Patel top-scoring on his CPL debut with 54. Still feels like an under par total though thanks to Bravo's 4 for 26 to stifle Royals at the death.

Here's Smit Patel: "The experience that we had in 2012 playing in front of the crowds, it always stays. I just backed myself and was being confident in the middle. The wicket is pretty tricky. The bounce is not even every ball. The spinners only bowled a few overs but whenever they did it turned. Since 2012 I have played domestic cricket in India for three or four teams and it was tough out there. Moving to the USA was a really tough decision but I'm happy to get opportunities in other leagues."

Stay tuned for the chase in 10-15 minutes when Alex Malcolm jumps back into the central commentary position.
