    2.5 Whoa, Jaiswal's been bounced out! Wasn't sure if he hit it at first but there was glove on it. Pant jumped high and took it with the tip of his right hand. Snorter from Shami, 141ks, shortish and zipping over leg. Jaiswal swivelled, got his shoulders across to get inside the line for the hook. Ball was just over the shoulder as it rushed past the bat and took the glove 32/1
    3.6 Should be out. Rathi takes a great catch! Not Sooryavanshi's day, the first big hit he attempts, he's gone. It's his shot to be fair, the long hit off the front foot over long-on but the fullish length ball at 142ks rose and took the outer-half of the bat. Ball went high, two infielders were running back from cover, Rathi was on the run as he judged it well and took it around his chest. Mohsin delighted as are LSG 32/3
    2.6 Shami Test-ifies T20s to nick off Jurel. Day one, first session, angle in towards leg before swerving away late. Jurel kept his hands close but left the bat-face slightly open. The 136ks ball took the outside edge and went to Pant. Shami will be on a hat-trick at the start of his next over 32/2
    8.6 Helicopter flies only till long-on! Parag falls cheaply again, this time to a hittable ball. Seam-up 139ks pitched up on on off. Parag got still and wristed the helicopter through and through, bat-face may have been a touch too open and he ended up getting up too much height. Pooran took the catch and threw it right up too. 62/4
    10.2 Oh, LSG definitely on top, now. Mohsin returns and takes out Hetmyer. Back of a length ball just around off stump at 139.6kph. The angle back in troubles Hetmyer, who looks to turn this to the on-side, gets a big leading that pops straight up with Prince taking a simple enough catch at mid-off 77/5

    15.5 Straight down deep third's throat and Prince Yadav's excellent season continues. Slower bouncer outside off at 117kph, he backs away and looks to ramp that fine. But the off-pace ball means he has to generate all the pace. Isn't able to and Mohsin takes a simple catch 110/6

    15.3 Goes high, very high and Parag takes a comfortable catch running back from extra cover. Parag celebrates, Burger celebrates and RR are on a high. Slower 120.3kph offcutter angling well across Marsh outside off. He looks to loft that over covers but the angle doesn't allow him any power. He ends up skewing it straight up and Parag does the rest 105/6
    0.6 Badoni gone by the sub-fielder! Sent upstairs, looked out. Yeah, Badoni not even in the frame as Ravi ran in from midwicket and under-armed it at the striker's. Was a length ball on leg, Badoni looked to defend it straight. Ball went off the inside edge to the leg side. Badoni ran half-way on the edge of the off-side of the pitch, Marsh was on the other side signaling 'there's no run there'. Badoni went back, Ravi came in and threw it from the short-leg area 9/1
    1.4 Big sound as the ball passed bat and it's given. Pant goes big again but with a slog sweep to a fullish length ball outside off. It rises and goes off a thin edge to the keeper. 143ks. 10/2
    2.5 Top edge goes in the sky, swirls around for a while. Jurel pops his cap off, takes a couple of steps back, settles underneath and takes it with fingers pointing up. 147ks back of length ball rises at pace to waist-height. Markram looks to flick it off the back foot, diagonal bat went down and then up. Archer waits before celebrating 11/3
    9.4 Pooran's first six-hitting attempt ends the innings. Length ball from around the wicket lands around off and angles away, the stock ball didn't turn or bounce much. Pooran went for a cross-bat swipe across the line and got it off the upper-half of the bat. Finds long-on. 99ks. Jadeja signals to Pooran that he has him in his pocket 54/4
    14.3 You miss, I hit... Himmat does miss and Bishnoi does hit. He looks back towards the LSG dugout and signs the wicket in his book much like Rathi. Slider bowled at 107kph on off stump. Himmat looks to bash that across the line, misses and his offstump is flattened 91/5
    16.1 Mukul falls! Is that the game for RR? Pacy back of a length ball outside off stump at 133kph. The ball gets big on Mukul as he just about looks to flat bat it. Gets it high on the bat, with the ball lobbing to Parag at extra cover who dives low and takes a good catch 111/7
    16.3 The leg stump goes flop! Nails the yorker at 136kph on leg, Shami backs away, misses and sees his leg stump flattened 113/8
    17.3 AN ABSOLUTE STUNNER FROM JUREL! What a 'keeper this man is! On a length outside off, Mayank pushes at it, gets a thick outside that flies to the right of Jurel, who flies to his right and takes a one-handed specky almost behind him 119/9

    17.6 THE MIDDLE STUMP IS FLATTENED! RR win by 40 runs in what has a defensive masterclass from the bowlers. Archer bowls this full, quick and on the base of middle stump. Mohsin misses and the stumps are left in a mess. RR back to winning ways, LSG lose a fourth-straight game. 119/10
