- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR36 Bhatt strikes and gets Chopra, tosses it up in line with the stumps and straightens, plays across the line, misses the sweep shot and gets hit on the pad, loud appeal and this time the umpire lifts his finger to send Chopra to the pavilion. 67/138.1 full delivery outside the off stump and Saxena mistimes the drive. There is some confusion as Saxena walks out of the crease and the ball is thrown at the stumps at Saxena's end. The umpires are referring to the third umpire for a decision, given in favour of the bowling team, Saxena has to go, run out by Bhatt. 73/285.5 Kanitkar goes, trying to play a delicate cut shot, gets the edge straight to Connor Williams at first slip, who takes the catch. 190/3115.3 lovely delivery tossed up outside the leg stump and pitches in the rough and turns across, Bist plays and gets beaten by the turn, the off stump is uprooted. 269/5101.3 once again looking for the sweep, misses it and the impact is on the pads, loud appeal and given this time by Hariharan, Yadav might be unlucky, the ball would have slide down the leg side. 240/4147.1 Bhatt picks up his 5th wicket, that was a quick delivery right in the block hole and Parida is beaten and the stumps are castled. 394/10134.3 tossed up delivery and Menaria pushing forward looking to defend, gets the edge onto the pad and lobs up to Devdhar at short leg. 346/6139.4 lovely delivery from Vohra, pitches and comes back in Jhalani drives in thin air as the ball seeps in through the gap to knock the off stump out of the ground, wonderful stuff, a seamers delivery. 369/7144.5 fires in a quick delivery, it was short and Chahar looking for the pull, the ball keeps low and the stumps are uprooted. 384/8146.3 another quicker delivery which keeps very low and Pankaj Singh looking for the big shot, misses it and off the pad the ball rattles the stumps. 394/9Extras40 (b 13, lb 14, w 13)TOTAL394 all out (147.1 Overs, RR: 2.67, 604 minutes)Fall of wickets: 1-67 (Aakash Chopra, 35.6 ov), 2-73 (Vineet Saxena, 38.1 ov), 3-190 (Hrishikesh Kanitkar, 85.5 ov), 4-240 (Vivek Yadav, 101.3 ov), 5-269 (Robin Bist, 115.3 ov), 6-346 (Ashok Menaria, 134.3 ov), 7-369 (Rohit Jhalani, 139.4 ov), 8-384 (Deepak Chahar, 144.5 ov), 9-394 (Pankaj Singh, 146.3 ov), 10-394 (Rashmi Parida, 147.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR21.4 tossed up outside the off stump, holds its line and Williams plays for the turn, not there, the ball takes the outside edge and goes low down to Chopra at first slip, so Rajasthan breaks through. 63/147.4 there's the breakthrough Rajasthan were looking for, Vivek Yadav has bowled a tight spell so far, this was not his finest delivery, short and sliding through, gets an outside edge as Kolsawala looks to drive through off, keeper pouches it 110/250 and another one for Vivek Yadav, he's removed both set batsmen now, that one kept really low, barely got up though it was very short, Devdhar saw the longhop and decided to dispatch it through cover, goes for the cut but the lack of bounce results in a bottom-edge that to Devdhar's horror sends the ball onto the stumps, he can't believe it 113/386.3 superb diving catch at cover from Rajasthan captain Hrishikesh Kanitkar sends back Waghmode, it was not the greatest of deliveries, overpitched, Waghmode looked to drive that hard, it wasn't timed well and was in the air, Kanitkar leaps to his right and snaffles that low chance, another wicket for Yadav, could this signal a decisive shift in the match? 226/562.3 Chahar has nailed Rayudu with a lovely legcutter, but umpire Hariharan might have got this one wrong. Chahar angles this in from slightly wide of the crease, on middle and gets it to straighten and bounce extra. Rayudu was playing for the straight ball, and had to adjust late for the movement away. Struck very high, above the pads, that was probably heading over the stumps. Huge wicket this, Rayudu is very disappointed and trudges off, visibly upset with the call. Took a long time to even start walking from the crease. 136/4106 and Chahar has struck a decisive blow. Pinal's been hanging in the crease too often and this time he's hit on the pads as he tries to work an inducker across the line. He closed the face too early and missed the line. Trapped plumb in front, despite the lack of sideways movement 288/898.4 Saxena's taken a screamer! Swapnil plays a horror shot, looking to pull a ball that wasn't so short and he was so out of position that the top edge ballooned up behind the covers. Saxena runs back and plucks it as he dives away despite interference from Yadav running across from mid off. Superb take and a huge wicket. Saxena is pumped up. 266/6101.4 edged and taken at slip, but did it carry to Chopra? This is a tight one. Another one seams away a touch from back of a length, squares Abhijit up and he edges it to second slip. They have gone upstairs for this one. It may have hit the ground just before Chopra completed the tumbling catch. Replays are not very conclusive. It's been given! 269/7134.4 Vahora is gone, and what a tame, tame dismissal that is, Chahar had the ball swinging around yesterday without much luck, now he serves up a full toss outside off, which the batsman thumps straight to the cover fielder, match-turning wicket? 356/9137.3 Rajasthan unit is excited as Bhatt plays forward and gets the edge and Chopra at slip takes the catch low down. 361/10Extras30 (b 25, lb 3, nb 1, w 1)TOTAL361 all out (137.3 Overs, RR: 2.62, 566 minutes)Fall of wickets: 1-63 (Connor Williams, 21.4 ov), 2-110 (Jaykishan Kolsawala, 47.4 ov), 3-113 (Kedar Devdhar, 49.6 ov), 4-136 (Ambati Rayudu, 62.3 ov), 5-226 (Aditya Waghmode, 86.3 ov), 6-266 (Swapnil Singh, 98.4 ov), 7-269 (Abhijit Karambelkar, 101.4 ov), 8-288 (Pinal Shah, 105.6 ov), 9-356 (Murtuja Vahora, 134.4 ov), 10-361 (Bhargav Bhatt, 137.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.1 Vohra strikes first ball, pitches on the leg stump and goes on to hit Chopra on the pad in line with the off and middle stump, played across the line and missed it, loud appeal and given, that was plumb. 5/14.4 fuller and Saxena goes for it and gets the edge through to the keeper, Rajasthan lose their second wicket. 6/26.2 fuller delivery angled across and Kanitkar looking to drive through the off side, gets the edge and through to first slip, Williams takes the catch. 11/326.3 tossed up outside the leg stump and Bist plays forward, the extra bounce takes the top off the bat to gully and Waghmode dives to his right, one two and third attempt he takes it. 61/4103.4 tossed up bit fuller on the leg stump and Chahar defends, unable to keep the ball down, goes to the right of Devdhar at silly-point, who takes a good reflex catch. 282/9129.1 Karambelkar picks up the final wicket and his first wicket on debut, Pankaj looking for a big heave, misses it and the off stumps is uprooted. 341/10Extras14 (b 11, lb 1, w 2)TOTAL341 all out (129.1 Overs, RR: 2.64, 499 minutes)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (Aakash Chopra, 1.1 ov), 2-6 (Vineet Saxena, 4.4 ov), 3-11 (Hrishikesh Kanitkar, 6.2 ov), 4-61 (Robin Bist, 26.3 ov), 5-226 (Ashok Menaria, 77.2 ov), 6-232 (Rashmi Parida, 82.3 ov), 7-258 (Madhur Khatri, 91.4 ov), 8-265 (Vivek Yadav, 97.5 ov), 9-282 (Deepak Chahar, 103.4 ov), 10-341 (Pankaj Singh, 129.1 ov)
