- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.5 taken at long-on! Rahane's watch has ended. Quality innings by the end. He's beaten by a quality ball though. Nadeem hangs this up at a length on middle. Draws him out of his crease but beats him in flight. Not to the pitch as he looks to loft this and it comes off the inside half and is taken a few yards inside 134/23.2 bowled him! Went for the sweep, premeditated, exposed his stumps, and that's a terrible idea against a wicket-to-wicket Rashid Khan, who thrives on batsmen trying to hit him across the line, especially with the new ball that slides on 15/1Extras5 (nb 1, w 4)TOTAL198/2 (20 Overs, RR: 9.9)Fall of wickets: 1-15 (Jos Buttler, 3.2 ov), 2-134 (Ajinkya Rahane, 15.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.4 short ball, hurries onto Warner, cramped him for room so he was caught in an awkward tangle, unable to free his arms for the full-fledged pull and that's the breakthrough for the Royals 110/110.6 he's held on! Dhawal Kulkarni makes up, and how! Skips up at long-off and stretches his hands back to hold on! A full ball from Gopal, drilled flat by Bairstow. And after putting down a sitter, he drags this back after it has nearly cleared him. The keeps his shape and lands in front of the rope. Superb 117/214.4 finds point! Runs down the pitch and loses some shape this time. Cut might have been on again if he stayed in the crease, but he was reaching out after getting down the track. Sliced straight to Tripathi 164/315.3 taken at long-on! Wow. Another wicket here and we might still have a game. Gopal delivers. And he often has for them, without too much of the spotlight. This is a slider, full on middle stump. Shankar wants to pump him over long-on but is done by the extra slide off the surface. Drags it off the inside half to the fielder. But what an innings, it seems he's making a statement every time he comes out on a field these days 167/415.4 he's got him! First ball after the break and a celebration that isn't in the same class as the ball he's just bowled. Gopal sends off his state captain. This skids on from outside off. Pandey is stabbing away from the body for the legbreak as he's caught dead in front of off stump 167/5Extras6 (lb 1, w 5)TOTAL201/5 (19 Overs, RR: 10.57)Fall of wickets: 1-110 (David Warner, 9.4 ov), 2-117 (Jonny Bairstow, 10.6 ov), 3-164 (Kane Williamson, 14.4 ov), 4-167 (Vijay Shankar, 15.3 ov), 5-167 (Manish Pandey, 15.4 ov)
