- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 why do we even bother asking Boult if he will pick a first-over wicket? He has snapped one first ball. Full, swinging in, on the target, past his inside edge. No discussion even for a review. Kohli walks off. Plumb as 0/113.2 Jaiswal manufactures a wicket here. Misses the yorker again. Low full toss drilled just to the right of extra cover. Jaiswal hits the stumps direct, and du Plessis is caught well short. he walks back with his bat raised 139/32.1 wicket with the first ball of the second over too. The shot is on, really. Short ball, angling in, midwicket off the 30-yard ring. All he has to do is pull over him, but ends up hitting it straight to Jaiswal stationed there 12/214.6 lucky but Ashwin has deserved this luck. Maxwell nails the switch hit, but he has hit it to the tallest man on the field. Holder takes the catch at backward point. Maxwell is filthy with himself. out to the last ball of Ashwin's quota 156/416.3 legbreak, pushed through wide, Lomror gets more under it than behind it, and Padikkal takes a smart catch running in from long-off 163/519.2 there are three men deep on the leg side, and Karthik decides to take them on. He shuffles across to drag this full and wide ball into the leg side, and manages to only toe-end it to long-on 184/816.5 another run-out. Prabhudessai looks to turn this to leg, gets a leading edge, and the ball goes towards extra cover, Prabhudessai wants one, Karthik doesn't. Prabhudessai still keeps coming, and doesn't have time to get back despite the desperate dive 163/619 slower bouncer, Hasaranga not awake to the bye to get Karthik on strike. Samson misses the direct hit at Karthik's end but Hasaranga is caught short on the non-striker's end. Called a wide for height 180/719.3 that sounded sweet off the bat. Vyshak jumped out of the crease and swung this short-of-a-length ball into the leg side. For a moment I thought he had hit six. In actual fact, he is caught at deep midwicket 184/9Extras13 (lb 3, w 10)TOTAL189/9 (20 Overs, RR: 9.45)Did not bat: HV PatelFall of wickets: 1-0 (Virat Kohli, 0.1 ov), 2-12 (Shahbaz Ahmed, 2.1 ov), 3-139 (Faf du Plessis, 13.2 ov), 4-156 (Glenn Maxwell, 14.6 ov), 5-163 (Mahipal Lomror, 16.3 ov), 6-163 (Suyash Prabhudessai, 16.5 ov), 7-180 (Wanindu Hasaranga, 19 ov), 8-184 (Dinesh Karthik, 19.2 ov), 9-184 (Vijaykumar Vyshak, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.4 Jaiswal has picked out Virat Kohli in the deep! It's a dipping full toss on off and he has a swing. Kohli gets his 101st IPL catch as he reverse-cups it as the pressure tells on the Royals! Kohli blows a kiss to the crowd, who lap it up of course 108/30.4 Ohhhh he has gone through him with a beauty! Buttler goes for a duck in the first over! Wobble-seam delivery on a length outside off and it seams in and goes through the gap as Buttler pushed away from his body 1/111.4 Straight to long-on! Willey with the breakthrough. It's back of a length on off, Padikkal comes down and looks to swing it away but doesn't get a hold of it. Easy pickings for Virat Kohli 99/215.2 Hit straight to short third this time! Harshal is pumped and as he should be! It's sort and wide, angling in and Samson cuts hard. It flies to Shahbaz who takes it reverse-cupped in front of his face. An inch on either side of the fielder, that was four more, but instead Harshal has his second wicket of the day 125/417.5 Direct hit! Prabhudessai had one stump to aim at from cover and he nails the throw at the non-striker's! Hetmyer never even stopped running as he knew he was short by a mile. He hit it to cover and ran off a length ball and Prabhudessai's brilliant throw means he is back in the dugout 155/519.4 Picks out deep midwicket now! It's full outside off, Ashwin looks to swing it leg-side but doesn't hit it well enough. Prabhudessai makes no mistake and now it's 9 off 2 with Jurel off strike! 180/6Extras11 (b 1, lb 3, w 7)TOTAL182/6 (20 Overs, RR: 9.1)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Jos Buttler, 0.4 ov), 2-99 (Devdutt Padikkal, 11.4 ov), 3-108 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 13.4 ov), 4-125 (Sanju Samson, 15.2 ov), 5-155 (Shimron Hetmyer, 17.5 ov), 6-180 (Ravichandran Ashwin, 19.4 ov)
