- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.6 has him nicking and Jaiswal walks! This is a lovely delivery. Not there for the drive, and Jaiswal ends up wafting at that with no feet. The thin nick is snaffled by Saha. They all went up in an appeal, but Jaiswal didn't wait for the umpire to lift his finger. 11/119.5 Buttler is run-out off the last ball, as he falls short of an obvious attempted second! He is way short of the crease even as he tries to dive. But, but, but... as cruel as it gets for Buttler and Royals, it is a no-ball. Tries to swipe that length ball to long-on, as he clears his front leg. They run for the second - as they always would have considering this was ideally the final ball - and Buttler is short 185/59.5 dragged to long-on! Sai Kishore has his man. Clever piece of bowling. Gave it air - quite brave of him to do so - got the ball to dip on Samson as he made room to go inside-out over long-off but ended up dragging it to the leg side and an easy catch to Alzarri. 79/214.1 drags it on! The middle-and-leg bail is disturbed, and Padikkal is bowled. Gets a bottom edge while trying to pull that offcutter, which is on a shortish length and rising outside off. Padikkal plays the pull away from his body, and perhaps even swings his bat early with the ball coming on slowly off the surface, and has to depart after an entertaining innings 116/318.3 taken at long-on! Hetmyer gets one in the slot - the ball was full on middle, and shaping to angle in - as Hetmyer went for the slog over the on side but failed to connect. Crucial wicket for Titans, even if Hetmyer wasn't entirely going on very rapidly 161/419.5 another run-out, this time Parag! Parag and Ashwin end up at the keeper's end. And the free hit stays. It is a slower ball which is bowled full and wide of off. Ashwin lets that go since it is a wide, but Parag wants a run, leaving Ashwin stuck in his crease, as he never seemed interested for it 186/6Extras11 (nb 1, w 10)TOTAL188/6 (20 Overs, RR: 9.4)Fall of wickets: 1-11 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 1.6 ov), 2-79 (Sanju Samson, 9.5 ov), 3-116 (Devdutt Padikkal, 14.1 ov), 4-161 (Shimron Hetmyer, 18.3 ov), 5-185 (Jos Buttler, 19.5 ov), 6-186 (Riyan Parag, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 got him! What a cracker from Boult. Gets this to nip away ever-so-slightly from back of a length on middle, and Saha nicks one trying to work it to the leg side. Straightforward catch for Samson. 0/17.4 hara-kiri with the running and that's a massive wicket! Gill works this full delivery to the man coming in from deep midwicket and turns for the second, only to see Wade take a couple of steps for the second and then freeze. It gave Padikkal the extra second to send in a superb throw on the bounce to Hetmyer who did the rest at the bowler's end. Unfortunate end to an innings that promised the moon 72/29.3 Wade has fallen in trying to pull one to the longer boundary. He hit it well alright but found the lone man at deep midwicket. Buttler leapt high and kept his balance as he took the catch comfortably a yard or two inside the rope. The double-strike could hurt the Titans. 85/3Extras13 (lb 1, nb 1, w 11)TOTAL191/3 (19.3 Overs, RR: 9.79)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Wriddhiman Saha, 0.2 ov), 2-72 (Shubman Gill, 7.4 ov), 3-85 (Matthew Wade, 9.3 ov)
