OUT! Caught. Andrew Tye to Jaydev Unadkat. Slower ball half volley, off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long on, by Nair. Three wickets in the over from Tye. Great performance from him today. Unadkat tries to clear the rope to give Rajasthan a good end to the innings, but he ends up shanking it down to long on for a simple grab.
Buttler kicked things off with a quickfire start in the Power Play, but Kings XI were able to pull things back after that. Should be a good chase to come. Who will come out on top?
Andrew Tye to Mahipal Lomror. Off cutter short, down leg side backing away pulling, to deep mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Patel.
FOUR! Andrew Tye to Mahipal Lomror. Full toss, outside off stump moves in front Scoop, well timed in the air under control past fine leg for 4 runs. Brilliant from Lomror. Tye executes a pretty good yorker, but the young Indian batsman pulls off a super ramp shot. He is able to get it on the full, and chips it over short fine leg's head.
OUT! Caught. Andrew Tye to Jofra Archer. Slower length ball, outside off stump down the track driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long off, by Tiwary. Wickets are tumbling. Archer goes first ball. He jumps out the crease, and hits it extremely high into the sky. No timing at all, and Tiwary pouches his third catch of the evening.
Andrew Tye to Mahipal Lomror. Length ball, down leg side on the front foot driving, to long off for 1 run, fielded by Nair.
OUT! Caught. Andrew Tye to Ben Stokes. Yorker, outside off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed to extra cover, by Ashwin. Excellent bowling from Tye at the death. A wide yorker. Stokes is at full stretch to try and drive it over the top, but it spoons up to Ashwin at cover off the bottom of the blade. The Royals are stalling at the back end here.
Mohit Sharma to Mahipal Lomror. Off cutter length ball, middle stump on the front foot Slog, missed to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Rahul.
APPEAL! Mohit Sharma to Mahipal Lomror. Off cutter back of a length, middle stump on the back foot pulling, to deep mid wicket for 2 runs, fielded by Stoinis, appeal made for Run Out. Clubbed out into the deep, and Lomror comes back for a risky second run. They go upstairs to check, but he has made it home with a big dive.

OUT! Run Out. Andrew Tye to Ben Stokes. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed to long off for 1 run, fielded by Nair, by Tye. Creamed back down the ground by Stokes, and perhaps hit too well to go for the second. Excellent work by Nair at long off, firing a throw back to the bowler. Binny is a few inches short of his ground.
Andrew Tye to Stuart Binny. Off cutter short, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, to backward point for 1 run, fielded by Ashwin.
Andrew Tye to Stuart Binny. Slower length ball, outside off stump on the front foot working, to square leg for 2 runs, fielded by Nath.
SIX! Andrew Tye to Stuart Binny. Slower length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control over long on for 6 runs. Binny picks the knuckle ball, and sends it into orbit. Gets it in the arc, and dispatches the ball over the long on boundary.
Andrew Tye to Ben Stokes. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, thick edge in the air uncontrolled to deep backward point for 3 runs, fielded by Stoinis.
Andrew Tye to Stuart Binny. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot pushing, to point for 1 run, fielded by Ashwin.
APPEAL! Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Ben Stokes. Carrom length ball, outside off stump on the front foot flick, bat-pad to silly point for no runs, fielded by Sharma, appeal made for L.B.W. Big appeal for the leg before, but Stokes gets a thin inside edge before it thumps into the front pad. Another good call from the umpire.
Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Stuart Binny. Googly length ball, outside off stump on the back foot pushing, to mid on for 1 run, fielded by Tiwary.
Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Stuart Binny. Carrom length ball, outside off stump on the back foot Steer, to gully for no runs, fielded by Nair.

OUT! Stumped. Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Jos Buttler. Googly back of a length, outside off stump down the track Slog, missed to wicketkeeper, by Rahul. Buttler goes now. An ugly swipe across the line. Sprinted down the track, but nowhere near the pitch of the ball. The googly rips back past the inside edge, and Rahul has all the time in the world to dislodge the bails. End of a super knock, though.
Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Ben Stokes. Carrom length ball, wide outside off stump moves in front sweeping, to deep backward square leg for 1 run, fielded by Nair.
Ravichandran Ashwin to Ben Stokes. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the back foot driving, to long off for 1 run, fielded by Stoinis.
Ravichandran Ashwin to Jos Buttler. Carrom length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, leading edge in the air uncontrolled to long off for 3 runs, dropped catch by Nath, fielded by Tiwary. Opportunity to get the big wicket is not taken! Buttler attempts to launch it over long on, but the leading edge takes the ball in the direction of long off. Nath has to sprint in to make the catch, and once he gets there, he will be disappointed not to hold on. Got two hands to it, but popped straight out.
Ravichandran Ashwin to Jos Buttler. Carrom length ball, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, mis-timed to silly mid off for no runs, fielded by Ashwin.

FOUR! Jaydev Unadkat to Lokesh Rahul. Back of a length, outside off stump no foot movement reverse sweeping, well timed in the air under control past third man for 4 runs. KL Rahul ends on 95 not out, and was a complete lone wolf in the Kings XI batting attempt. Another reverse scoop to finish off the game, it's a magnificent shot yet again.
Rajasthan Royals get a much needed win. Jos Buttler did the damage for them with the bat. Things seemed to get harder as the game went on. The pitch got slower and scoring became more difficult. The credit still goes to the Royals, who have capped off an impressive win. They go up to sixth in the table, and Kings XI remain third. Tomorrow's IPL action has KKR up against Mumbai. Join us for that.

Jaydev Unadkat to Lokesh Rahul. Off cutter back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed to extra cover for no runs, dropped catch by Unadkat, fielded by Rahane.

FREE HIT. SIX! Jaydev Unadkat to Lokesh Rahul. Off cutter half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control over long off for 6 runs. Deposited the free hit over the rope. Cleared the front leg, got the ball in the slot, and hit it right out the screws.

OUT! Caught. Jaydev Unadkat to Marcus Stoinis. Full toss, wide outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air uncontrolled to deep cover, by Gowtham. Absolutely spanked out the middle of the bat by Stoinis, but he picks the fielder out in the deep. Gowtham snaffles a stinger with ease, and cooly puts the ball in his pocket after completing the catch.
FOUR! Jofra Archer to Lokesh Rahul. Length ball, outside off stump moves in front Scoop, well timed in the air under control past fine leg for 4 runs. Same again. A nicer length to play the shot. Rahul gets underneath it, and lifts the ball away for another boundary.
FOUR! Jofra Archer to Lokesh Rahul. Half volley, outside off stump moves in front Scoop, well timed in the air under control past fine leg for 4 runs. He's been bowling the yorkers so well, so it isn't a surprise that Rahul brings this shot out. Steps across, gets low, and flicks it over short fine leg's head.
FOUR! Jofra Archer to Lokesh Rahul. Slower length ball, wide outside off stump moves in front driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled past long off for 4 runs. Didn't expect the slower delivery at all, but gets away with it. Rahul bunts it over mid off's head. He only just clears him, and it trickles away into the rope.
