9.55pm A terrific bowling display from Titans to keep RR to 130 for 9 at their home ground, in front of a crowd of 104859. Their captain Hardik led the way, taking down Samson, Buttler and Hetmyer in a remarkable spell of 4-0-17-3, including 14 dots. He bowled without the fear of injury, even cranking it up to 140kph. Rashid Khan and Sai Kishore provided Hardik with able support. At one point, Hardik didn't even need Sai's left-arm fingerspin. Royals' batters struggled to break free throughout their innings, crawling to 130 for 9. It could be a straightforward chase for Titans. Hemant will be back with you for the chase. Cheers

Mohammed Shami to Parag, 1 run, OUT, Shami searches for another yorker, marginally misses his length once again. Drilled back to Shami, the ball strikes Shami's leg and rolls down to long-off. Parag has to go for the second in order to keep strike, but McCoy is caught short at the other end. That he slipped on the first didn't help McCoy either. Kind of sums up this RR innings

Sai Kishore to McCoy, SIX, swiped over midwicket for six. Sai is trying to protect the over. Darts it flat and well wide of off. McCoy still connects with a slog-sweep. Hit flat and hard over the leg side. Royals need more of these

Raja Muthu: "Hardik, the captain is unorthodox....Who would have expected Sai Kishore a spinner to come in after 15 overs ...Gutsy"

Sai Kishore to Boult, SIX, Miller takes the catch, but the momentum pushes him beyond the long-on boundary. So, the result is a six for Boult. He'll take that. Flat and quick outside off, Boult swings for the hills and gets a fortunate six down the ground

Ferguson to Boult, 1 run, dug into the middle of the pitch, flapped away to the left of Rashid at short midwicket

BeardGuy: "I think Sai Kishore should get another over after this if Ferguson doesn't leak too many runs. The lower order batters would be a lot more eager to attack the spinner while they'd try to survive Ferguson and Shami."

Ferguson to Parag, 1 run, back of a length and slanting into middle, flicked away to deep midwicket
