- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.4 drives on the up without any feet movement, but the late inward movement does the trick for Curran as Jaiswal smashes this onto the stumps off a thick inside edge. Curran goes on a celebratory run. 4/17.2 more trouble for the Royals. Brave of Chahar to toss that up generously, Kohler-Cadmore goes against the turn as he tries to muscle it over long-on, but doesn't get the distance. Jitesh at the boundary rope takes it nicely, properly balanced and aware of the skirting behind him. 42/36.4 all that pressure that had built up courtesy the strangehold has led to Samson looking to manufacture a shot out of nothing; picks out point in the process. Ellis goes into the pitch again as he takes the pace off, Samson had to force the pace to try and get it up and over but couldn't. Both feet were off the ground as he made contact, just coudn't generate enough power. 40/219.2 There will be no homeground fifty for Riyan Parag! That's a dipping full toss, Parag swings across the line and is completely beaten. He is hit bang in front of the stumps on his right thigh. They take a hopeful review, but in vain. Three reds and Parag is a goner. Important innings for the team, but he would have liked to have added a few more in the final over 138/812.6 Ashwin holes out at deep point! End of his little acceleration. Arshdeep angles it across him fromover the wicket, Ashwin opens the face and looks to drive it square on the off side but lofts it straight to the fielder. Shashank Singh makes no mistake! 92/413.3 Catching practice to Harpreet Brar at midwicket! Back of length delivery angling into him, Jurel looks to pull but the ball hits the bat around the sticker and pops to Brar's right. He takes a simple catch as PBKS tighten their grip on this game 97/514.3 Caught and bowled! Wrong'un on a length outside off. Powell reads it late and looks to whip it away, but ends up lobbing it right back at Chahar, who makes no mistake. Royals continue to slide 102/617.3 Great take by Rilee Roussow running to his left from long-off! It's full outside off, Ferreira looks to go inside out but slices it Roussow is running along the boundary rope and grabs it above his head just inches in. A quick check confirms his foot never touched the toblerone. And Rajasthan have lost their impact player 125/719.6 Flicks it away to deep midwicket. They look for two but the throw at the striker's end is a good one. Did Boult make it back? Nope, they get just the one run and Boult is out 144/9Extras2 (lb 1, w 1)TOTAL144/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.2)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 0.4 ov), 2-40 (Sanju Samson, 6.4 ov), 3-42 (Tom Kohler-Cadmore, 7.2 ov), 4-92 (Ravichandran Ashwin, 12.6 ov), 5-97 (Dhruv Jurel, 13.3 ov), 6-102 (Rovman Powell, 14.3 ov), 7-125 (Donovan Ferreira, 17.3 ov), 8-138 (Riyan Parag, 19.2 ov), 9-144 (Trent Boult, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.4 straight up off the top-edge, Chahal running back from the edge of the ring at short third takes the swirler as it descends. Prabhsimran was in no position to play the pull, was cramped for room as he went through. 6/17.6 he has finished it superbly! Tag-team effort at long-on. Bairstow sees this tossed up over his eye line outside off, he goes through with the slog sweep, but gets more elevation than distance as Donovan Ferreira takes a dolly. He lobs it gently to Parag, but only after he was well in control. 48/44.3 sliced straight to point where Jaiswal takes a good, low catch. Avesh went full and across, Rossouw throws his bat at that but gets a thick edge. Was looking to go over cover, but ended up hitting it behind square. 36/24.5 the roar is deafening in Guwahati! Avesh hits hard length and gets the ball to skid off the seam from off-stump, Shashank plays all around it and is hit on the pad. Stone dead. 36/315.4 Chahal gets his second. That's some excellent bowling! Chahal floats it up, and it drifts in to pitch around middle and off. Jitesh was dancing down and looking to go downtown. Ends up hitting it off the inside half of his bat. The ball does not clear long-on and Royals get a precious breakthrough 111/5Extras1 (w 1)TOTAL145/5 (18.5 Overs, RR: 7.69)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Prabhsimran Singh, 0.4 ov), 2-36 (Rilee Rossouw, 4.3 ov), 3-36 (Shashank Singh, 4.5 ov), 4-48 (Jonny Bairstow, 7.6 ov), 5-111 (Jitesh Sharma, 15.4 ov)
