BAN
SIX! Ben Stokes to Sarfaraz Khan. Off cutter length ball, to leg on the front foot Slog, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. What a way to finish it for Kings XI. Sarfaraz gets the front foot out the way, and heaves it over cow corner for a maximum.
Decent total, that. Chris Gayle started off the onslaught, then Sarfaraz Khan took over and ended with a flourish. Jofra Archer the pick of the bowlers for the Royals. It will be a very tough chase for Rajasthan, but they have the batsmen to pull it off. Can still go either way at the halfway point.
Ben Stokes to Mandeep Singh. Off cutter length ball, down leg side on the front foot slog sweeping, top edge in the air uncontrolled to deep backward square leg for 3 runs, fielded by Gopal.

FOUR! Ben Stokes to Sarfaraz Khan. Back of a length, down leg side no foot movement Slog, well timed in the air under control past third man for 4 runs. Wow. How has he managed to hit that? Crouched down, used the pace of Stokes, and ramped it over his own head for four.

OUT! Caught. Ben Stokes to Nicholas Pooran. Off cutter length ball, wide outside off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long off, by Rahane. Clever bowling from Stokes. Slows it up, goes very wide, and Pooran is outfoxed. At full stretch, through the shot too early, and he scuffs in into the hands of long off.
Jaydev Unadkat to Nicholas Pooran. Yorker, off stump on the front foot driving, to long on for 1 run, fielded by Rahane.

Jofra Archer to Nicholas Pooran. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, to deep backward square leg for 1 run, fielded by Gopal.

OUT! Caught. Ben Stokes to Chris Gayle. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket, by Tripathi. Finally Stokes changes up his length, and it pays off. Quick bouncer, and an accurate one too. Gayle absolutely nails it out the screws, but doesn't get the elevation to clear the fence. Tidy catch in the deep from Tripathi, as that was travelling. An ideal scalp for the Royals, as Gayle could have done some serious damage in the last four overs.
FOUR! Ben Stokes to Chris Gayle. Off cutter length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control past long off for 4 runs. The boundaries keep flowing. Belted back over the bowler's head, and it trickles away between long off and long on.

Ankit Rajpoot to Dhawal Kulkarni. Slower ball back of a length, outside off stump backing away driving, to long on for 1 run, fielded by Rahul.
The Kings XI take it. That was an action packed game of T20. Rajasthan were cruising at the halfway point of the chase, but it was a brilliant comeback from Punjab with the ball. A lot will be talked about the dismissal of Jos Buttler, which definitely played a huge part in the outcome. He was going amazingly well, before Ravi Ashwin got him with a Mankad run out. Aside from the controversy, Kings XI bowled brilliantly well at the death, and the batting was brainless from the Royals. Earlier on, Chris Gayle showed his class with a brutal 79, which set up the game for the visitors nicely, and it proved to be enough.
The IPL will continue tomorrow, and if it carries on like today, you cannot miss it.
FOUR! Ankit Rajpoot to Dhawal Kulkarni. Half volley, off stump on the front foot driving, well timed past deep extra cover for 4 runs. A crunching cover drive finds the gap, but those four runs won't be enough for the Royals.

OUT! Caught. Ankit Rajpoot to Krishnappa Gowtham. Yorker, off stump driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid off, by Shami. Another one goes. Rajasthan folding. Top delivery from Rajpoot, right in the blockhole, and Gowtham lobs it up to mid off off the toe end. A simple take for Shami, made to look very hard. Had to juggle it before hanging on.
OUT! Caught & Bowled. Ankit Rajpoot to Jaydev Unadkat. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, Spliced in the air uncontrolled to short leg, by Rajpoot. Nasty collision between bowler and keeper here, but another wicket for Kings XI. A fierce bouncer from Rajpoot, which cramps Unadkat for room. He flaps at the ball, it spoons high off the bat, and both Rajpoot and Pooran go for the catch. The bowler hangs on, but crashes into the keeper.
Mohammed Shami to Jaydev Unadkat. Full toss, to leg on the front foot driving, to long on for 1 run, fielded by Rahul.
OUT! Run Out. Mohammed Shami to Jofra Archer. Yorker, down leg side backing away flick, missed to wicketkeeper, shy attempt by Pooran, fielded by Shami, by Pooran. It is all falling apart from Rajasthan. Archer gets beaten by a superb yorker from Shami, then wants to sneak through for a bye. Gowtham is unsure at the other end, and both batsmen end up just stood next to each other in the middle of the pitch. Pooran misses his throw after collecting, but Shami has time to gather, and run up to the stumps to end things for Archer.
Mohammed Shami to Jofra Archer. Yorker, middle stump no foot movement working, to mid wicket for 2 runs, fielded by Singh.

OUT! Caught. Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Rahul Tripathi. Carrom ball full toss, middle stump down the track driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long on, by Rahul. Wickets are tumbling. The Royals are losing their heads. Tripathi this time charging out the crease, and smearing it into the hands of long on. Poor batting, this.

OUT! Caught (Sub). Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Ben Stokes. Googly length ball, outside off stump backing away slog sweeping, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long on. Six then out.

SIX! Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Ben Stokes. Carrom ball half volley, outside off stump on the front foot slog sweeping, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. What a strike first ball from Stokes. Down on one knee, and powered over cow corner for six.

OUT! Caught. Sam Curran to Sanju Samson. Off cutter length ball, to leg on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to extra cover, by Ashwin. Two in the over for Curran. He had been poor up until this over. Samson this time attempting the big stroke, and doesn't pick the change in pace. Shanked straight up, and Ashwin makes no mistake.

OUT! Caught. Sam Curran to Steven Smith. Off cutter half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long off, by Rahul. Gone this time.

Sam Curran to Sanju Samson. Off cutter length ball, middle stump on the front foot driving, to long off for 1 run, fielded by Rahul.
APPEAL! Sam Curran to Steven Smith. Half volley, to leg moves in front flick, bottom edge to short fine leg for 1 run, fielded by Gayle, appeal made for L.B.W. Another shout from Kings XI, this time for LBW. Smith steps across his stumps, and it may have stuck him dead in front here. Replays show he got a thin bottom edge on it. Review lost.
