    18.2 Thin edge and gone, nice catch from Samson, Sai Sudharsan walks. Full and swinging in towards off, he clears his front leg to go downtown but gets an inside edge. Samson has to dive to his right, after moving to his left because of the initial angle. Set batter dismissed for GT 187/5
    2.1 bowled him! Looked like it was too much pace for Gill to handle! The ball hits the side of off stump at 147kph after pitching on a fullish length around fifth stump. Gill was driving far away from his body, thus leaving a huge gap between bat and pad. The ball shaped back in, and clattered the off stump, even as Gill's bat seemed to have come down late for that shot. Early blow for GT! 14/1
    9.6 a confident and an animate appeal for lbw, but turned down! That looked like heading down the leg side... but Samson reviews! The first replay shows the ball going below the bat, as Buttler looked to pull but missed. The ball was on a short of a length, and there's no bat involved as Buttler is beaten. The ball pitched short on off, and turned back in considerably. And, and... ball tracking shows the ball would have hit leg stump as Buttler was hit on the back pad! Samson's call works for RR, who break a threatening stand 94/2
    15.4 Deceived, tata, goodbye! Shahrukh charges down to go big over the off side. Theekshana anticipates it and fires it full and wide. Samson is ready for it and after Shahrukh fails to reach it, gathers it and disturbs the stumps. Crucial blow this 156/3
    16.1 Nicked and gone! Superb stuff from Sandeep. Bowls it on a length, wide outside off and angles it away. Rutherford doesn't move his feet and reaches out to slash it away. Only manages a tickle through to Samson. Sandeep is yet to concede a boundary tonight and he is on the board 163/4

    18.6 WHAT A CATCH! Jaiswal, you beauty! Superbly done. Back of a length slower one outside off, 113.7kph, Rashid walks across the line, waits and looks to swipe it across with his front leg in the air. Jaiswal reacts quickly at square leg - runs to his right, dives full length and hangs on. End of the mini blitz from Rashid 201/6

    1.2 gone! Someone hear Ahmedabad roar! Rashid, at deep third, hardly had to move to his left to take this with a reverse cup. Arshad angled this into the left-hander, and went on a length and wide of off. The ball seemed to swing away, and Jaiswal went with the movement. He went driving aerially, playing far away from his body. But the timing wasn't all that bad - perhaps it was too good - as Jaiswal departed early 10/1
    12.2 Edged and gone! Prasidh gets the extra bounce on the surface to work for him Back of a length just outside off at 139.1kph, Samson hops and looks to steer it past short third, like he did against Khejroliya an over again. But this one gets quicker at him and bounces more. As a result, it goes off the edge straight to Sai Kishore in the circle at short third. Massive blow for RR 116/5
    2.2 taken at deep third again! This time it is Khejroliya, who takes a step to his right before gobbling it down. Siraj had a slip added just before this ball, but went short instead of bowling full. It was banged around middle stump, and moved away to end close to off. Rana went ramping, but the ball hadn't bounced enough for that shot 12/2
    6.4 tickled behind to Buttler! The keeper and the bowler go up, but wait... Parag reviews straightaway! It was a near yorker-length ball angling across towards Parag, as the ball landed just outside off. Parag opened the face of the bat to try and nudge it towards deep third, but the ball shaped away a bit, and replays show a spike as the ball passes the bat. Parag isn't pleased, though, and has a word with the umpire, who asks him to walk back. I wonder if Parag thought the spike was of the bat hitting the ground, but whatever, he's gone now 60/3
    7.4 good, low catch at deep midwicket by Sai Sudharsan! He judges the ball well, and takes it just off the ground. It was a googly from Rashid, who bowled it short on middle and off, and got it to turn in and finish on leg. But the ball didn't bounce all that much, I think, even as Jurel went for the pull. He ended up mistiming it, and Sai Sudharsan, placed a few steps inside the boundary, did well to grab it low 68/4
    15.6 That's the end of Hetmyer! RR's hopes plummet. All over for them! Bumper down leg, Hetmyer swivels and pulls. It bounces more for him and he gets more height than distance. Sai Kishore at deep backward square leg takes it calmly. Hettie is disappointed and it shows - he hits his helmet with his gloves and admonishes himself as he walks back 145/8
    13.2 This looks close! Rashid knows it, Buttler knows it and the umpire agrees. But Dubey opts to review. He looks to flick the length ball on middle across the line, misses it completely. Three reds on ball-tracking and Dubey takes a review with him 119/6
    15.3 Soft dismissal! Back of a length on off and middle, Archer is in no position to free his hands. It gets bit on him and he plonks it towards mid-off. Easiest of catches for Gill 144/7
    19.2 All over! Gujarat Titans continue their winning run with a massive 58-run win. Tossed up nicely around leg, he charges down to go big and hits it straight to long-off, where Sai Sudharsan dives forward to take it inches above the turf. Can there be a better way for him to end the match? 159/10
    16.5 All height, no distance! Lands it on a length on middle, Deshpande slogs it high and straight to Rashid at deep midwicket. RR's net run rate will take a hit here 150/9
