Don't know about par but Tallawahs being 20 short of what they were on course for leans the game, as of now, towards Royals' favour. But with Amir and co, they can pull things back. Find out whether they're able to in the chase, for which Deiva will be here any second.

Obed McCoy: (On run up) Better now than before because I was rushing it. So I took my time and tried to ease into it. I know Rovman's strengths and weakness, stuck to my strength and bowled to his weakness. It is a tricky wicket but we can chase this down.

11:53am: Tallwahas were set for 170-180 but 20 for 4 off the last four meant they could only get to 156. The start was poor again, King and Lewis went early. Jangoo was tied up and the skipper had to both dig in and go big. He did both things really well. After Jangoo went, Reifer came in. He did well with the skip and the symbiosis between him and Allen was propelling Tallawahs. But Miller, who was sure with his bowling changes brought in Bosch late for an over. Bowled McCoy who was exceptional. Holder finished off by removing Reifer in the last over. In the end, not bowling Mayers who bowled well early seemed justified.

Holder to Reifer, OUT, Sliced, taken by McCoy at cover! It was full, slow and wide. Reifer looked to slash it over extra but it went right up. Good innings but could not finish the innings, he found it tough after Allen's dismissal.

17.5

Bosch to Reifer, 1 run, Low fully just down leg, looks to have gone past the flick and off the pad in front of square. Looked like Bosch and Miller have reviewed this for LBW. Impact looks to be down leg. What does Hawk-Eye say? Actually, Ultra-Edge before it spots a thin inside edge. So, the review is lost. Leg bye changed to a run.

17.3
1
Bosch to Reifer, 1 run, This time Reifer looks to use the crease by shuffling outside off. Bosch lands a yorker on the stumps, so the batter has to go back and flick it to deep midwicket.

McCoy to Allen, OUT, Spliced, taken at cover! It was full on off, Allen looked to whack it over mid-off but toe-edged to Holder at cover. A good, quick cameo from Allen to ensure momentum did not fizzle away after Powell's wicket.
