Lokesh Rahulc Jos Buttler b Dhawal Kulkarni 4 4 1 0 100

0.4

D Kulkarni to L Rahul, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! What a catch from Buttler and this is a body blow to the visitors. Kulkarni sticks to the line outside off, it is once again on a length. Rahul this time is drawn into the stroke. However, it is only a tentative poke. The ball moves away a bit, takes the outside edge and goes low towards the right of Buttler who dives and grabs it with one hand. That just about sticks in the webbing. Rajasthan are pumped up, just the start they would have wanted.

Chris Gaylec Rahul Tripathi b Ben Stokes 79 47 8 4 168.09

15.5

Ben Stokes to C Gayle, OUT! Gayle holes out! He can't believe it as he had absolutely smoked that. Another excellent catch there. This time it is Rahul Tripathi. Stokes is the one who has the last laugh. He changes his length and bangs it short. Gayle though smashes it right off the middle, it is flat towards deep mid-wicket. Rahul there keeps his eyes on the rope behind and then reverse cups it. A really good catch as the ball was traveling. He does well not to lose his balance. Rajasthan will heave a huge sigh of relief. Gayle walks back to a standing ovation. He has laid an excellent foundation here. Can Punjab capitalize or will Rajasthan now manage to pull things back?

Mayank Agarwalc Dhawal Kulkarni b Krishnappa Gowtham 22 24 1 2 91.67

8.5

K Gowtham to M Agarwal, OUT! A well-judged catch by Dhawal Kulkarni. Terrific effort! Gowtham strikes this time. He continues to fire it in and bowls it full around off at 94.5 kph. Mayank tries to go downtown and clear long off but fails to get enough distance. Kulkarni at the edge of the rope in the deep does well to grab it. He maintains his balance quite well there. The third umpire checks for the front foot no ball first and then the cleanliness of the catch, all well in the replays and the 56-run stand is over.

Nicholas Pooran (W)c Ajinkya Rahane b Ben Stokes 12 14 1 0 85.71

19.1

Ben Stokes to N Pooran, OUT! Pooran departs! The slower one and it is outside off, Pooran reaches out for it and looks to hit it downtown. It is off the bottom part of his blade and Rahane at long off runs in and takes it easily. Ideal start to the last over for the hosts.

Batting R B 4s 6s SR

Ajinkya Rahane (C)b Ravichandran Ashwin 27 20 4 0 135

8.1

R Ashwin to A Rahane, OUT! Sound of timber! Ashwin hunts down Rahane for the fourth time in this League! It's a well-disguised carrom ball from Ash. He lands it around off and Ajinkya tries to play it from the back foot. His attempt to play it late and run it probably down to third man fails and the off stump takes a beating. Punjab finally have a breakthrough but they need a few more in quick time. 107 needed off 71 balls.

Jos Buttler (W)run out (Ravichandran Ashwin) 69 43 10 2 160.47

12.5

R Ashwin to S Samson, OUT! What happened there? An attempt to run the non-striker out? Mankading? Controversy here. Ashwin and Buttler are involved in some war of words. It has been referred upstairs... Given out! Buttler has to go. The replays showed that while Ashwin was in his delivery stride, Buttler had left the crease. The Punjab skipper clipped the bails off and Jos was well short. This is a massive moment in this match. Mankading is an official mode of dismissal but often it is considered to be against the spirit of the game.

Sanju Samsonc Ravichandran Ashwin b Sam Curran 30 25 0 1 120

16.6

Sam Curran to S Samson, OUT! Another one bites the dust! Two in the over and now Rajasthan have two new batsmen at the crease. Just what the visitors wanted and not what the hosts would have wanted. Another slower ball which is outside off. Samson looks to loft it over covers but the timing is not there. Like Smith he too gets a lot of height on it. Ashwin at covers backtracks and takes a very good catch. The game has once again turned. What an over by Curran to finish his spell, 4 runs and two wickets from it. He ends with figures of 4-0-52-2.

Steven Smithc Lokesh Rahul b Sam Curran 20 16 1 1 125

16.4

Sam Curran to S Smith, OUT! In the air... taken! What a catch that is. They say catches win you matches and will this win it for Punjab? Smith who was really hitting the ball well is walking back. Curran who has not been at his best today is bowling a game-changing over here. The slower ball does the trick for him. It is full and wide outside off. Smith reaches out for it and lofts it over extra cover. He gets a lot of height on this one. However, it is tailing away from Rahul. He makes a lot of ground to his left and with a dive takes it. The Punjab players are pumped up.

Ben Stokesc sub b Mujeeb Ur Rahman 6 2 0 1 300

17.3

Ur Rahman to Ben Stokes, OUT! Mujeeb gets the revenge! The wheels are coming off for Rajasthan. The Afghan keeps his composure and delivers it in the line of the stumps. Ben Stokes hops back to make space and tries to clear long on this time. He gets more height than distance behind his shot and Nair (sub) takes the skier safely. 28 needed off 15 balls. We're heading for a thrilling finish!

Rahul Tripathic Lokesh Rahul b Mujeeb Ur Rahman 1 4 0 0 25

17.6

Ur Rahman to R Tripathi, OUT! Rajasthan have lost the plot completely! A full toss from Mujeeb, on middle, Tripathi this time tries to attempt what Stokes failed to do - clear long on. Fails miserably and is caught by Rahul in the deep. 12 runs and four wickets in the last two overs have made Punjab the favourites now.

Krishnappa Gowthamc Mohammed Shami b Ankit Rajpoot 3 4 0 0 75

19.2

A Rajpoot to K Gowtham, OUT! There goes Rajasthan's last hope! Another top delivery, a yorker, Gowtham looks to get under it but fails to do so. It goes off the bottom half of his bat towards mid off where the fielder, Shami, runs in and takes it in the second attempt. Two-in-two for Rajpoot. He is on a hat-trick.

Jofra Archerrun out (Nicholas Pooran) 2 2 0 0 100

18.5

M Shami to J Archer, OUT! RUN OUT! Archer is out of here! Another top nut, a yorker and Archer fails to jam it out properly. He though is off for a single but Gowtham is not interested. The keeper has a shy at his end but misses. Shami though collects and since both the batters are stranded in the middle of the wicket, Shami has ample time to jog towards the stumps at the keeper's end and whip the bails off. JA is the one who has to walk back though as the batters never crossed. Into the tail now are Punjab.

Jaydev Unadkatc & b Ankit Rajpoot 1 2 0 0 50

19.1

A Rajpoot to J Unadkat, OUT! A collision but the catch has been taken! Pooran though has hurt himself as he is down on the ground. A bumper, too quick for Unadkat. He looks to pull but gets a top edge onto his helmet. The ball lobs beside the pitch. Both, the keeper and the bowler go for it. No one calls for it. In the end, it is Rajpoot who takes it but then dashes into the keeper. The good thing for Rajasthan is that Gowtham has crossed over.
