9.35pm Top effort from Kings XI's bowlers. Mujeeb Ur Rahman continues to tantalise as he leaves an indelible mark on this season of the IPL. Kings XI were top-notch on the field today, and were impressive with their bowling across stages, catching, ground fielding, and even their field placements were spot on. Hard to imagine this total being enough on this ground, but stranger things have happened in T20 cricket.

Mayank Agarwal and Manoj Tiwary talk us through their splendid catch.

Mayank Agarwal: "I thought it was going quite close to the boundary and then saw him next to me. Initially, I thought he didn't hit it well. I had to paddle back and knew I'd go outside the boundary and then I saw him there. Both of us have been doing a lot of mid-off and mid-on practice, so I knew he'd be there. Mujeeb has been outstanding. We kept taking wickets and it helped us contain them."

Manoj Tiwary: "I just followed the basics to complete the catch. All the credit goes to the coaching staff, who keep giving us catches such as these, knowing that the grounds are small."

RRZ: "I think Credit should be given to Both Mayank and Tiwary for the Catch of Stokes, in the scorecard like they give for run-out so that it should look exciting for new-comers to watch that. "

Tye to Unadkat, OUT, and a wicket seals what has been a top effort from Kings XI on the field. A slower ball again, and Unadkat holds no shape as he tries to pull. They try to steal a bye but a direct hit from Rahul catches Shreyas short of his ground

Tye to Unadkat, 1 run, full toss again. They're getting their yorker attempts all wrong here. Slammed down to long-off

Before tonight, Rajasthan had lost the most wickets during the middle-overs this season: 26 wickets in eight matches. That was ten more than SRH, who have the worst run rate during that phase but have played an extra match. Once again, they lost their way horribly in the middle overs. 65 for 4 tonight in nine overs.

No team has ever won an IPL game batting first in Indore. In seven matches, even a total as big as 198 was taken down with a whopping 27 balls to spare, by Mumbai Indians the eventual champions in 2017.

Tye to Gopal, FOUR, dipping slower ball, a full toss that's been punched down the ground and beats long-on sprinting and diving to his left

Lowest totals batting first in an IPL game in Indore: Royals 97 v Kochi Tuskers in 2011. Unless they can get past 148, which RCB made against Kings XI in 2017, they'll have the second spot on that list too.
