Stat alert: Arshdeep's five-for is the second-best against Rajasthan Royals. Do you know who has the best figures? You can always Ask Cricinfo, but here's a clue: he's in the Kings camp.
8pm Here's an interesting stat: this is the highest score in the IPL where a team has been all out (batting first). Ask Cricinfo has details on the other games.
7.54pm Despite conceding 185, Punjab Kings will be on a high. Only 49 conceded in the last 36 balls along with seven wickets. Jaiswal (49), Lewis (36) and Livingstone (25) set the base for the middle and lower order to make merry but barring Lomror's cameo of 43, the others (Tewatia, Morris and Parag) failed to put the finishing touches to this innings. Rahul will be delighted that they need to chase a target of 186 eventually, which was looking like 210+ at one stage. Arshdeep Singh the pick of the bowlers with his 5/32, but Shami (3/21) and Harpreet Brar (1/17) did their bit too. A forgettable evening for the two new Kings bowlers. Ishan Porel going for 39 runs, 3 overs for 35 from Rashid. Be back with the chase very soon.
Mahipal Lomror (17-ball 43): "I was not happy getting out in that position."

Binu: "What a comeback feom Punjab!! 220 was definitely on the cards. Restricting them for below 190 would be spectacular."
CricketFan: "Shami showing the world why he's there on the 15 for T20 world cup! All the noise makers, this is death bowling at its finest."
Arshdeep - top opportunity to get a five-wicket haul with two tail-end wickets remaining.

Just three singles in 4 balls.
Looks like Royals will finish below 200 for sure. They would hope to atleast breach 190 from here.

Sham S Gupta: "KL needs to improve his planning. No overs from Markram and Allen. Harpreet Brar, the economic bowler, wont be completing his quota. While Hooda gets another over after going for plenty in his first. "
Ramesh Mukka: "I found this in player's profile and what a clarity cricinfo has on a player. " Lomror is an aggressive batsman who fearlessly goes for the big shots, much like how his role model Adam Gilchrist used to""
Jignesh: "Last 7 balls, 5 runs 2 wickets. Potentially momentum changing over from Shami that."
Chris Morris. The Forecaster suggests Royals will finish at 199.
