- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.2 Umesh has the last laugh! Goes back to the back of a length ball, on middle and off. Jaiswal moves across his stumps, looking for the scoop. Gets cramped for room, though, and he gloves it through. Wade times his leap to absolute perfection and gobbles it up with both hands! 32/15.4 straight to slip! Fizzed through on a full length on off. Buttler looks at the length, and his eyes light up. He tries to go downtown but is not quite to the pitch of the ball. It straightens just enough, and takes the outside edge. Tewatia snaffles up a sharp chance at slip in front of his face, and the Royals are two down now! 42/218.4 Parag perishes! Slower ball that lands right in the slot outside off. Parag lines it up and belts it flat. It is straight to Shankar at long off, though. he takes the catch initially but then loses his balance a little. Keeps his nerve, does his juggling act, steps outside, comes back in and completes the catch! 172/3Extras7 (w 7)TOTAL196/3 (20 Overs, RR: 9.8)Fall of wickets: 1-32 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 4.2 ov), 2-42 (Jos Buttler, 5.4 ov), 3-172 (Riyan Parag, 18.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.2 huge appeal, not given! Full and speared into middle and off. Sudharsan shapes for the lap but makes a complete hash of it. Seems to miss it completely and gets pinned on the pads, right in front of middle and off. Kumar Dharmasena has a long look at it, grimaces too but does not raise his finger. RR go upstairs. No bat involved. Ball Tracking coming up now and...it reckons the ball would have thundered into middle and off stump. Sen has a wicket in his first over! 64/115.2 stumped by a mile! Chahal outwits Gill, and this is a humongous moment in the game! Tossed up deliciously outside off and Gill thinks he can dance down and go inside out again. He runs down the track but to his dismay, finds that the ball is wider and shorter than he anticipated. Cannot get close enough to it and swishes at fresh air. Samson collects and then whips off the bails. Chahal points to his head, and even though that was called a wide, RR will not mind. Looks like this dismissal was plotted by Chahal and Maharaj. Gill, meanwhile, is utterly disconsolate! 133/510.1 wicket right after the rain break! 146.3kph length ball, angling across the batter outside off. Wade's feet are stuck to concrete and he has an airy waft at it. No shape on the stroke and he chunks it off the inside edge. Smashes into the stumps, and Sen has two in very quick succession! 77/210.4 off stump is flat on the ground! Kuldeep Sen is on absolute fire! Heat-seeking 144.9kph delivery, bowled on a hard length on off. Nips away against the angle and that squares up Manohar completely. His feet, like Wade, go nowhere and he prods at it in hope. The ball whistles past the outside edge and leaves his off stump in a mess! It is raining wickets after the rain break, and GT in all sorts of trouble now! 79/313.6 knocks Shankar over! Slider on a length on middle and off. Bowled at 93.3kph and Shankar does not really account for this change in pace. Tries to smash it into next week and loses track of it completely. Goes past the bat and Shankar hears the death rattle soon after. RR keep chipping away! 111/419.5 Tewatia gets it over mid off, but it does not go for four! And there is a run out too! Short and wide outside off. Tewatia holds his nerve and slaps it over mid off. Buttler puts on his skates and pulls it back into play. The batters get across for two runs comfortably and then they decide to go for the third. Tewatia is always struggling to get there. The throw is accurate enough, and Avesh does the rest, with Tewatia well short. In the middle of all of that, there was a check for a short run. That has been sorted now, and GT need 2 off the last ball! 195/717.3 Avesh traps Shahrukh in front! Low full toss slinging into off stump, Shahrukh walks across his stumps, swipes at it and misses. Gets pinged on the full, in front of middle and off, and the umpire raises his finger. Shahrukh has reviewed this because, well, why not. No bat involved, and three reds on Ball Tracking, with the ball pounding into middle stump! 157/6Extras11 (lb 3, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL199/7 (20 Overs, RR: 9.95)Fall of wickets: 1-64 (Sai Sudharsan, 8.2 ov), 2-77 (Matthew Wade, 10.1 ov), 3-79 (Abhinav Manohar, 10.4 ov), 4-111 (Vijay Shankar, 13.6 ov), 5-133 (Shubman Gill, 15.2 ov), 6-157 (M Shahrukh Khan, 17.3 ov), 7-195 (Rahul Tewatia, 19.5 ov)
