| 1.6 : 1.6: Jason Holder to Robin Uthappa, FOUR! First boundary of the game and it is off Uthappa's bat. On a good length around off, Uthappa creams his drive through the cover region to find the fence. |
| 2.3 : 2.3: Sandeep Sharma to Robin Uthappa, SIX! What a shot! First six of the game and it is Uthappa again! On a good length around middle and leg, Uthappa flicks this one fine over the deep square leg region for a biggie. |
| 2.6 : 2.6: Sandeep Sharma to Robin Uthappa, FOUR! Smacked! Uthappa ends the over on a good note! Back of a length ball around off, Uthappa dances down the track and slams this over the mid on fielder and it races away to the fence. Good over for Rajasthan. 13 runs off this one. |
| 3.1 : 3.1: Jason Holder to Ben Stokes, FOUR! Stokes gets hit first boundary of the game! Good shot! Back of a length ball around off, Stokes pulls this one over the mid-wicket region and it runs away to the fence. |
| 3.2 : 3.2: Jason Holder to Ben Stokes, FOUR! That was so close to being out! Stokes needs to be really careful! He survives this time around. On a full length around middle, Stokes gets low and looks to paddle scoop this over the keeper and it just goes by Bairstow's gloves into the fine leg fence. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: Jason Holder to Ben Stokes, OUT! RUN OUT! This is such a cheap wicket to give away and Uthappa who was looking good so far has to walk back. He will be mighty disappointed with the manner in which he has been dismissed. Back of a length ball around middle and leg, Stokes makes some room and looks to play at this but misses and it hits his body and rolls to the off side. Uthappa runs across looking for the single and Stokes sends him back. By the time Uthappa can turn and get back into the c |
| 4.4 : 4.4: Sandeep Sharma to Sanju Samson, FOUR! Smashed! We know what Samson can do, can he turn it up tonight? On a good length around off, Samson punches this through the cover region and the timing is so sweet that it runs away to the ropes. |
| 4.5 : 4.5: Sandeep Sharma to Sanju Samson, FOUR! Back-to-back boundaries for Samson! Good length around off, Samson drives this one through the cover-point region and no fielder is going to stop this one. |
| 8.1 : 8.1: T Natarajan to Sanju Samson, FOUR! Did not time it well enough but placed it well. Short ball around off, Samson pulls it over mid-wicket but the bat turns in his hand. It is still over short mid-wicket and in the gap for a boundary. |
| 11.3 : 11.3: Jason Holder to Sanju Samson, SIX! That was going into the empty stands as soon as Samson hit it. Short but not short enough to trouble Samson. He gets on his back foot and pulls it beautifully for a biggie over mid-wicket. Just the second of the innings so far. |
| 11.4 : 11.4: Jason Holder to Sanju Samson, OUT! BOWLED! Holder has the last laugh. Superb comeback ball from the West Indies Test skiper. He steams in and rolls his finger on this one. It is the off cutter bowled into the surface. It pitches on middle and off and spins into Samson. He makes room as he goes away from the stumps and looks to punch it through on the off side. He misses and the ball hits the top of middle and leg. |
| 12.1 : 12.1: Rashid Khan to Ben Stokes, OUT! TIMBER! It is Ben Stokes who has been struggling tonight who has to depart. He has been very uncomfortable out in the middle and he is walking back now. It is Rashid Khan who has struck. Two wickets in quick succession for Hyderabad. Loopy ball around off, Stokes looks to play at that but misses and it hits his pads and goes onto disturb the stumps. |
| 13.6 : 13.6: Shahbaz Nadeem to Steven Smith, FOUR! Uppish but away from Rashid Khan. Floated on off, Smith drives it uppishly through point. Rashid Khan there dives but it is away from him and the ball goes away to the fence. |
| 15.1 : 15.1: Vijay Shankar to Steven Smith, FOUR! Good start to the over for Rajasthan! Short ball on off, Smith picks his spot and pulls it through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 15.3 : 15.3: Vijay Shankar to Jos Buttler, OUT! CAUGHT! Very good catch from Nadeem. Buttler departs cheaply and Rajasthan are in a state of bother here. Smart bowling from Shankar and Warner's gamble to give him third over works. Buttler comes down the track, Shankar sees that so he bowls it wide of off and does not give Buttler much pace to work with. Jos stretches and looks to hit it. He does so uppishly towards point. Nadeem is the man there, he dives in front to take a very good catch inches ab |
| 17.3: T Natarajan to Riyan Parag, FOUR! Incredible shot and a much needed one as well for Rajasthan. A welcome boundary for Rajasthan. Nothing wrong with the delivery, it is an attempted yorker. Parag premeditates his shot and lifts it over short fine leg for a boundary. |
| 17.4 : 17.4: T Natarajan to Riyan Parag, SIX! What a hit from Parag! Magnificent shot. Natarajan misses his yorker and bowls an over pitched delivery outside off. Parag smashes it over extra cover for an 88m biggie. |
| 17.5 : 17.5: T Natarajan to Riyan Parag, FOUR! Unlucky for Natarajan. Parag will take it with both hands. Very full around off, Parag opens the face of the bat. The ball does not go as fine as he wanted it to go but he still managed to chip it over backward point for a boundary. |
| 18.1 : 18.1: Jason Holder to Steven Smith, OUT! CAUGHT! Straight into the hands of Manish Pandey. Very full outside off, it is in the slot but Smith cannot get under it. He looks to clear long on but ends up hitting it straight to the man there. Manish Pandey, one of the best fielders in India, is never going to miss that and he takes a dolly. |
| 18.2 : 18.2: Jason Holder to Riyan Parag, OUT! CAUGHT! Fumble...fumble..fumble... TAKEN! Smart bowling from Holder. He bangs it in short outside off as he sees Parag charge down the track. The young Rajasthan batter looks to smack it over long off but it comes off the toe end of the bat. It goes high in the air and behind mid off. Warner, who is back peddling, looks to take the catch with his fingers pointing upwards. It hits his palms then pops out, he juggles again and again to take it in the thir |
| 19.1 : 19.1: T Natarajan to Jofra Archer, FOUR! Made it look easy but it was not. Natarajan looks for a yorker but bowls a full toss on middle. Archer scoops it over short fine leg and gets a boundary. |
| 19.6 : 19.6: T Natarajan to Jofra Archer, SIX! Archer finishes it in style! Gets his side to over 150 with that biggie! Natarajan misses his yorker and serves a full toss outside off. Archer does not hit it as well as we have seen him do this season but hits it well enough to send it over the ropes straight down the ground. RAJASTHAN FINISH WITH 154/6! |
| 0.3 : 0.3: Jofra Archer to David Warner, FOUR! Just over first slip! Warner is lucky on this occasion! Shorter ball outside off, it takes the outside edge and goes past Tewatia at first slip but it goes over him and it races away to the fence at third man. |
| 0.4 : 0.4: Jofra Archer to David Warner, OUT! CAUGHT! Archer continues to be Warner's arch nemesis. What a fantastic delivery! What a catch from Stokes and what captaincy from Smith! This was the battle everyone was looking for and it has lasted just 4 deliveries. Warner cannot find a way to get better of Archer. Just the start Rajasthan wanted. Nightmare for Hyderabad. Archer hits the deck hard around off, Warner looks to defend but this time gets a big, fat outside edge. Smith keeps the second slip |
| 1.1 : 1.1: Ankit Rajpoot to Jonny Bairstow, FOUR! Brilliant shot! Outside off and Bairstow creams this one through the cover region to find the fence. |
| 1.4 : 1.4: Ankit Rajpoot to Jonny Bairstow, SIX! Top edge but Hyderabad won't care! Short and on middle, Bairstow looks to pull this one but it comes off his top edge and it goes to the third man region for a biggie. |
| 2.4: Jofra Archer to Jonny Bairstow, OUT! BOWLED! Right through the gates of bat and pad. Archer is up and running in celebrations. Archer is bowling missiles here and Hyderabad batters are struggling to negotiate with the Rajasthan speedster. Archer steams in and bowls a length ball pitching around off. It is bowled at pace and the last thing you want to see with vicious pace is an inswinger. Archer does that too with the ball. Bairstow looks to drive it with his usual tendency to leave a ga |

| 4.3 : 4.3: Ben Stokes to Manish Pandey, SIX! Pandey sends this one for a biggie! Not the best delivery by Stokes and Pandey does not miss out! On a good length around middle, Pandey flicks this one over the deep square leg region for a biggie. |
| 4.5 : 4.5: Ben Stokes to Manish Pandey, SIX! Pandey is making a huge statement! He is attacking Stokes! This is on a shorter length around off and middle, Pandey pulls this one hard and it goes over towards the deep mid-wicket region for another biggie. |
| 5.3 : 5.3: Kartik Tyagi to Manish Pandey, FOUR! Not from the middle of the bat but the intent is visible from Pandey! Back of a length ball around off, Pandey slams this one back past the bowler's head and it runs away to the fence. |

| 8.5 : 8.5: Shreyas Gopal to Manish Pandey, SIX! That was a six the moment it left the bat! What a cracking shot! Flatter on middle, Pandey rocks on his back foot and pulls this one over the deep mid-wicket fence for a biggie. |
| 10.3 : 10.3: Shreyas Gopal to Manish Pandey, FOUR! A great effort in the deep by Stokes but it goes by him! Floated around off, Pandey dances down the track and powers this to the long on fence where Stokes dives but cannot stop this one. |
