With the action halfway into the day, join Shashank for the chase. He is ready to get this cracking.
Lakshman: "Five runs and two wickets of the last ball! lol" --- Bingo, it's (T20) cricket after all!
Paramdev: "With the amount of luck Jos had today with batting, I would have ask him to open the bowling as well" --- Any idea what he bowls?
Padikkal: "I feel we have got a really good score. The wicket doesn't matter in a game like this. They will come hard... We were just looking to take the game deep, and Jos always knew that he can take it deep. Regardless of the situation, I would have taken on the left-arm spinner. It is dry, and not bouncing that much. Keeping low as well. A bit two-paced. Don't think there is dew."
9.23pm Not sure anyone would have predicted Buttler would end with 88 off 55 after being on 30 off 31 at one stage. Royals hammer 64 off the last five overs, and finish with 188 in a crucial match. But guess what? Rashid still ends with an economy of just 3.75 from four overs.
R Parag run out 4 (9m 3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 133.33
Ashwin will face a free-hit from Dayal from over the wicket. But Ashwin isn't entirely ready, as he asks the bowler to stop in his run up.
