That's all from us at ESPNcricinfo for this game. Plenty of cricket happening all around the world today. Thanks for your company, folks!

The action comes thick and fast in the IPL. The evening game between Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans is already underway

Pradish : "If it was not Samson as captain the commentator wud have said great captaincy 
 no credit will be given to him .. but we'll captained Sanju "

Afeef: "I believe Lasith Malinga deserves a fair bit of credit, along with the bowlers, for the death bowling today. Plus Malinga would know Pollard's hitting better than anyone, so his tips to counter him were very valuable."

Chahal hands the Orange Cap over to Ishan Kishan. Tied on runs with Buttler, but has a better strike-rate than Jos. Here's Chahal now: "(on the missed hat-trick) Felt a bit bad, but its okay. Part of the game. It was good that we won. Interesting win. If I had the hat-trick it would've been nice since I have never earned a hat-trick. The plan was I will give a new batter a googly since there was bounce and turn. (on bowling in Royals and with Ashwin) I first try to see the situation. What the team needs. Whether I go for dots or wickets."

So it must be said that the experienced men in the Mumbai team disappointed tonight. Here's their captain Rohit Sharma now. He says, "I thought they batted well to get to 193. Buttler played an exceptional innings, we tried everything we could to get him out. But I thought 193 on that pitch could've been chased, especially when we needed 70 in 7 overs. But these things can happen and its early days. We can learn. (Positives) Few. Bumrah bowling well. Mills as well. And Tilak played exceptionally. And Ishan's batting was terrific. I thought one of those two batting till the end would've made the difference. (Suryakumar's fitness) He is a key player for us. Once he gets fit, he comes in straight but we want him to recover since finger injuries are tricky."

Nagesh: "That over from Pollard to Hetmyer turned out to be the difference..."

Vaelan: "In the end, Buttler's 26 run thumping of Basil Thampi is the difference between the 2 sides."

7.28pm Two wins in two games for Rajasthan Royals, and the boys in pink are over the moon. All smiles for them, and Kishan and Rohit look quite disappointed on their way out to meet the victors. Chahal is wearing the widest smile, how good was his final over?! Don't forget Ashwin's important dismissal of Tilak in his final over too.

Ghalib : "Embarrassing end for the finisher. 22 off 24 balls when team needed a cameo."

Saini to Pollard, OUT, full toss, fifth-stump line. Pollard makes a decent connection to try and clear extra cover but Buttler runs in and takes the catch. Rajasthan Royals defend 193 and they win by 23 runs

Saini to Pollard, no run, wide yorker and dug away to backward point

Mumbai now playing for net run rate. They'll hope Pollard hits 12 off the last two. It always comes down to NRR at the back-end of the tournament, doesn't it?

19.4

Saini to Pollard, no run, low full toss around off stump. Drilled to Hetmyer along the ground again. Another dot collected.

Royals boys are excited but Hetmyer asks them to keep calm for now.

19.3
0
Saini to Pollard, no run, fullish outside off stump. Smacked straight, but importantly along the ground. 24 off 3

does Saini change his line? Four sixes in four balls is quite an ask. But conceding a wide or two could change the situation.

19.2
0
Saini to Pollard, no run, crucial dot. Pollard now needs four sixes off four balls. Full and wide outside off, again inside the tramlines. Pollard goes for a wild slog but misses
19.1
4
Saini to Pollard, FOUR, full and wide outside off stump. Just inside the tramlines. Pollard drills a drive with the bat-face angle at 45 degrees, and that's beaten the two outfielders in front of square
