- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.6 the slower bouncer has done the trick once again. Sandeep banged it in, straight at the batter. Head gave himself a bit of room and looked to steer it over but ended up guiding it into the lap of short third 99/40.6 Boult strikes in the first over once again! It was a length ball and Abhishek went for the pull, only for the ball to hit high on the bat and lob towards covers where Kohler-Cadmore makes no mistake 13/14.3 the slower bouncer does the trick. Tripathi was looking to ramp it over - it's a shot he plays well - but the lack of pace means he ends up guiding it to Chahal at short third. Tripathi is disappointed with himself. RR will be happy that the dropped catch didn't cost much 55/24.6 Markram lasts just two balls on his return. A length ball angling across. He throws his bat at it and gets an outside edge. Chahal at short third goes low on his knees and takes it comfortably. The move to give Boult a third over inside the powerplay fetches RR two wickets 57/318.1 Yorked him! Only 121.1kph and that might have played a role in Klaasen missing it; he seemed a touch early into the shot. Missed it completely and the ball crashed into middle and leg. Before this ball, our Forecaster was predicting 187 for SRH; now it's down to 182 163/713.5 the ploy of having two short thirds works. Full and wide outside off from Avesh, Reddy went for the reverse hit. He connected alright but ended up hitting it straight to Chahal, the wider short third. He takes it reverse cups, just above the shoulder height to his left 120/513.6 a first-ball duck! A length ball around off that was angling in and perhaps just straightened after pitching to make a mess of the stumps. Samad planted his front foot across and looked to work it on the leg side only to missed it altogether 120/619.3 a low full toss around off. Shahbaz goes low and pulls it towards long-on. Not much power behind it, though. Jurel runs in diagonally to his left, pouches it with both hands before diving forward to complete the catch 170/819.6 full and wide outside off. Cummins walks down the ground and towards the off side but fails to connect. Unadkat is charging down the other end but Cummins is unmoved. Samson collects it and lobs it to Avesh who nails the direct hit to find Unadkat short. SRH have reviewed it for a wide but to no avail 175/9Extras8 (lb 1, w 7)TOTAL175/9 (20 Overs, RR: 8.75)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Abhishek Sharma, 0.6 ov), 2-55 (Rahul Tripathi, 4.3 ov), 3-57 (Aiden Markram, 4.6 ov), 4-99 (Travis Head, 9.6 ov), 5-120 (Nitish Kumar Reddy, 13.5 ov), 6-120 (Abdul Samad, 13.6 ov), 7-163 (Heinrich Klaasen, 18.1 ov), 8-170 (Shahbaz Ahmed, 19.3 ov), 9-175 (Jaydev Unadkat, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.5 Shahbaz pulls his length back and Jaiswal has mistimed it to long off. Gives it some flight but doesn't pitch it full. Jaiswal comes down the track to hit the spinner for a big shot, but ends up slicing it. Impact from the Impact player as Jaiswal goes for a 21-ball 42. 65/23.6 High in the night sky, and Tripathi holds on! Kohler-Cadmore's time ends for a 16-ball 10. Fullish ball around off. Bit of wobble in the seam. Kohler-Cadmore backs away and tries to play a release shot over cover, but instead the ball goes high up more towards point. Tripathi tracks it over his head and then dives late near the circle to complete that catch. 24/18.3 the left-arm spinners are doing the job! The Royals captain falls for an 11-ball 10 and the SRH owner is also delighted in the stands. Length ball on middle, and Samson tries to make room before flat-batting a shot between long on and deep midwicket. However he hits it straighter than he likes, allowing Markram at long on to have a chance of a catch. He doesn't disappoint, sliding diagonally forward to get the RR captain. 67/311.1 now Shahbaz-Sharma combine! And is this the last of Riyan Parag for the season? Skiddy good, length ball on middle. Parag tries to mow a pull over cow corner or so, but he mistimes it altogether. Abhishek Sharma at deep midwicket gets under it. 79/411.4 Third wicket for the impact player! Shahbaz bowls fullish again. Ashwin opts to go onto the back foot instead of driving. But unlike the last two balls, he does get bat on ball, however unfortunately for him it's the outside edge of the bat, and Klaasen grabs a tough chance! 79/513.4 Beautiful ball! Good length ball around off. Straightens after pitching, and turns away slightly instead of coming in. Hetmyer looks to play a back-foot punch but the ball's wizardry leaves him stunned. Off-stump pegged back and this magic ball has put RR six down 92/617.4 short ball on middle, and Powell pulls towards deep midwicket. However he takes his eyes off the ball and the timing is not great either. Abhishek runs to his left from deep midwicket and manages to keep standing while completing a running catch 124/7Extras5 (lb 1, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL139/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.95)Fall of wickets: 1-24 (Tom Kohler-Cadmore, 3.6 ov), 2-65 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 7.5 ov), 3-67 (Sanju Samson, 8.3 ov), 4-79 (Riyan Parag, 11.1 ov), 5-79 (Ravichandran Ashwin, 11.4 ov), 6-92 (Shimron Hetmyer, 13.4 ov), 7-124 (Rovman Powell, 17.4 ov)
