    13.6 another wild swish, and Prabh bites the dust too! Punja had PBKS on a leash, and he now has another reward! A little slower outside off and he seems to hold the length back too, perhaps anticipating the charge. Prabh goes after it anyway but loses all control and shape. Slices it a mile up and extra cover settles under it to send the half-centurion on his way! 144/3
    2.5 clothed to mid on, and Arya has fallen to Archer! What a passage of play, and Archer has come up trump! Full ball just outside off, bowled at a tick over 150kph. Arya tries to take Archer downtown but ends up getting it all wrong. Tame chip off the inner half of the blade and Burger does the rest. Archer's face is like stone, but he knows he has worked this youngster over and now sent him back to the shed! 37/1
    8.2 another shank, and this time, Connolly has to go! Floated up full outside off and this looks like the googly. Connolly tries to go downtown but slices across it a little too much. Gets more height than distance and Ferreira, stood at long off, takes it smartly over his head. Another sprightly cameo by Connolly, but from an RR POV, they have broken a threatening partnership! 96/2
    17.6 Shreyas' turn to find the moon, and Burger finally has some respite! Slower ball hung up on a length wide outside off. Shreyas tries to fight the angle and mow it over cow corner. The ball skews off the toe-end and Jurel, calling early, completes the catch in the short fine leg region. Shreyas departs after a scratchy innings, and RR keep chipping away! 181/4

    11.2 Jaiswal perishes too, and Chahal is turning this game around! Floated up full outside off and Jaiswal cannot resist the temptation to have a pop at it. He swings at it with all his might but cuts across it far too much. Goes straight up and long off does the rest. PBKS with another vital and timely breakthrough! 123/3
    3.2 low full toss, and Sooryavanshi has plinked this a mile up. Taken by mid off running back, and Arshdeep rips this game wide open! Not the best ball Arshdeep will ever bowl. But he will take. And PBKS will of course take it too. A touch outside off, which makes Sooryavanshi fetch it, given the angle from around the wicket. Slices it and Shreyas, back-pedaling, snares the chance. Another tone-setting knock, and this is the window of opportunity PBKS would have been after! 51/1
    9.4 oh dear, what have you done, Dhruv Jurel?! This is a juicy and gentle full toss on the stumps. Jurel should have hit it all the way back to Jaipur but instead, he shanks it terribly. Only gets height on it and long on accepts the offering with utmost glee. Jurel is hanging around, hoping this could be a No ball, but don't think that is happening. This is an umpire review, just to be clear. First replay seems to suggest the ball is well below the waist. Jurel feels so too and starts trudging off the moment he sees it on the giant screen. Waist measured at 1.03m and the ball is passing at 0.67m at the popping crease. Jurel has to go! 105/2
    13.6 clothed to deep mid wicket, and Parag has thrown it away! Chahal dangles the carrot, and Parag bites, to his and RR's detriment. Looks to mow it over cow corner but does not have enough room to swing his arms freely. Bat closes upon impact too and Parag could not have picked out Shedge better, even if he tried. Huge, huge moment in the game! 151/4
