Buttler has led Royals to a big total, but is it big enough to beat SRH? Watch the action live on Disney+Hotstar (India only)

5.20pm That was one heck of an innings from Buttler. Will 220 prove enough for RR? 218 wasn't enough for CSK yesterday evening at this very venue. The pitch seems flat and the outfield is super-fast. SRH need a big start from Bairstow if they are to make a fist of this chase. Be back shortly.

Jos Buttler speaks to Star Sports, the host broadcaster: Obviously, really enjoyed that. Great to spend time and have some fun in the middle. I didn't find it easy and haven't been in my best form for a while now. Playing and finding a way to hang in there to get back in form and give myself form. I got better as the innings went on. I just tried to stay in against Rashid. He has had my number for a long time, so thankful to not get out to him. I spent the most of my career in the middle order, where hundreds are not easy to come by. I can finally stop getting Alastair Cook telling me, 'I've got one more T20 hundred than you'. It's a small ground and fast outfield and we have to execute our plans really well.

Abhi: "I won't say this is a safe score. Jonny can make a difference just in the powerplay. Samad will go for the kill. He will be given the license. Kane and Manish are in form. RR need a very good bowling performance. Yashaswi's innings and not sending Miller earlier has cost RR atleast 20 runs."

David: "Holder was 2nd in the IPL bowling averages last year behind only Bumrah, with a fantastic strike rate. And Sunrisers performed far better with him in the team. When does he get another game? The correct answer is "Too late" "
