- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.1 chaos and a runout! Short and wide, Samson tries to guide this past backward point but a spectacular diving stop is made by the backward point fielder Abhinav who deflects this directly to the fielder Mohit at short third just a few meters away. Jaiswal set off for a single from the non-striker's end and there looked likely to be a clear single judging by the fact that Jaiswal reached the striker's end standing alongside Samson by the time Mohit let go of a calm throw to Rashid over the non-striker's stumps. He collects and slams the ball into the stumps to end Jaiswal's stay. Samson took three strides down the pitch after contact, but then was guilty of ball-watching and Jaiswal was left sold out. Jaiswal tried to scamper back and wound up running 40 yards in the end winding up four yards short of making the ground again at the non-striker's end. 47/21.4 slashes this straight to short third! Deep square leg was pushed out after the previous two boundaries and short third is brought into the ring from deep third and it pays off immediately. Length ball on seventh stump at 136 kph, looks like a pretty innocuous delivery that Buttler chases flat-footed and a thick edge flies straight to the fielder on the ring, Mohit, who snaps this up on his left thigh. 11/16.5 fullish length on middle and off at 141 kph, shuffles across his stumps to flick this over midwicket but it climbs on him and results in a top edge swirling over cover. Hardik shuffles forward five yards from the edge of the ring and pouches this reaching forward at waist height. 60/311.3 bullseye! Almost a mirror reflection of Rashid's wicket of Ashwin. That was a right-armer bowling a right-hander. Here Noor the left-armer bowls the left-handed bat Padikkal prodding inside the line of a delivery that just skids on after pitching on fourth stump to rip out the top of off stump. 77/67.6 bullseye! Rashid was toying with Ashwin throughout that over. Good length ball on fourth stump just skids on flat past an attempted flick by Ashwin through midwicket. He was playing for a googly but this one just came on flat rather than turn in sharply and it goes past the outside edge to smash over off stump. 63/49.2 googly spins in sharply from fifth stump and hits Parag in front of middle and off. Deflection goes to slip for a catch as the appeal goes up for lbw and is upheld. Parag looks forlornly at his partner before opting for DRS more so in desperate hope than belief. A frankly terrible review borne out of a plea to justify the move to use him as an impact sub. The ball misses bat and hits him on the back leg just above the knee roll, but flexing some way, in front of middle stump and is going on to smash middle 3/4 of the way up. 69/514.1 full on off, stock legbreak spins in and Hetmyer defends down the wrong line hit on the pads below the knee. Big lbw shout upheld. Royals are out of reviews. He was hit in front of off. Possible it might have skidded to miss off based on the angle but more likely that it would have wound up as umpire's call on ball-tracking. That's irrelevant now though. Hetmyer is gone and Royals are eight down. 96/813.1 flighted full and on the borderline of leg stump, Jurel prods forward down the wrong line and is hit on the pads stretching forward, big lbw shout upheld. He doesn't hesitate to review this. He's banking on this pitching outside the line of the stumps because otherwise this was stone dead. It pitches well in line with the stumps, more closer to middle and leg and ball-tracking is showing this ripping out middle halfway up. Rajasthan have lost both reviews. 87/716.3 bullseye! 142 kph yorker with a radar locked in on the base of off stump. Boult was backing away trying to drive through cover and is beaten with off stump ripped out of the ground. 112/917.5 brilliance from Abhinav Manohar in the field with a direct hit from the boundary! Slower length ball angled across seventh stump produces a miscued heave swirling high over extra cover. It looks like it could be a chance but the fielder running back from the edge of the ring can't get there as it lands just out of his reach. However, Manohar was charging in from the sweeper boundary and collects off one bounce, firing in a sharp one-bounce throw that skids into the striker's end stumps to deny Zampa coming back for a second run. He's out by two yards. 118/10Extras8 (lb 1, w 7)TOTAL118 all out (17.5 Overs, RR: 6.61)Did not bat: YS ChahalFall of wickets: 1-11 (Jos Buttler, 1.4 ov), 2-47 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 5.1 ov), 3-60 (Sanju Samson, 6.5 ov), 4-63 (Ravichandran Ashwin, 7.6 ov), 5-69 (Riyan Parag, 9.2 ov), 6-77 (Devdutt Padikkal, 11.3 ov), 7-87 (Dhruv Jurel, 13.1 ov), 8-96 (Shimron Hetmyer, 14.1 ov), 9-112 (Trent Boult, 16.3 ov), 10-118 (Adam Zampa, 17.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.4 stumped by Samson! Chahal has a few words to utter out. Now he slows it down to Gill too - like he has done to Saha today - and completely foxes Gill. It was a legspinner, pitched on a length on middle stump. Gill saw that tossed up and danced down the pitch, little realising that it was much slower than the previous balls. He missed, the ball turned well away, and Samson found him short 71/1Extras3 (lb 2, nb 1)TOTAL119/1 (13.5 Overs, RR: 8.6)Fall of wickets: 1-71 (Shubman Gill, 9.4 ov)
