Match over
2.1 : 2.1: Rashid Khan to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! And Jaiswal welcomes him with a boundary. Rashid floats thie one on middle, Jaiswal gets down and sweeps it over backward square leg for a boundary.
2.4 : 2.4: Rashid Khan to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! Crunched! Jaiswal is taking Rashid on here. He attacked him from the start and he is winning the battle so far. A flatter ball, this one is just outside off, Jaiswal waits on the back foot and crunches it through covers.
2.6 : 2.6: Rashid Khan to Yashasvi Jaiswal, OUT! LBW! Plumb this time! It is Rashid who wins the battle, eventually. Jaiswal has to go. The ploy to bring Rashid works for Williamson here. This one is quicker through the air and around off and middle, Jaiswal stays back and tries to flick but misses to put any bat on this square one. An appeal and the umpire raises his finger this time. Jaiswal has a chat with his senior partner at the other end. They do not go for the review. Rashid has got the breakt
3.2 : 3.2: Khaleel Ahmed to Sanju Samson, SIX! WOW! Samson, the skipper, is off the mark with a biggie on the first ball. What a way! This is unbelievable. This is some way to announce yourself. A length ball, a bit short and around middle, Samson tonks it over wide long on for a biggie.
3.4 : 3.4: Khaleel Ahmed to Jos Buttler, FOUR! Excellent effort in the deep from Rashid but it is not good enough to save the boundary. Poor ball from Khaleel and Buttler slammed it wide of deep cover. Rahid ran to his left, covered a lot of ground. He put in a dive and tried to flick the ball in but the ball just stuck in his hand. So, this will be a boundary.
5.1 : 5.1: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jos Buttler, FOUR! A freebie as this is too straight in line. This is on middle and leg, Jos Buttler just tickles this one towards the fine leg region for a boundary. 
5.3 : 5.3: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jos Buttler, FOUR! Beats the man and finds the gap. Buttler gets his second boundary of the over. A good length ball on middle, Jos Buttler goes back and just times this one through mid-wicket. Beats the man there and the fielder in the deep to his left. 
6.2 : 6.2: Vijay Shankar to Jos Buttler, SIX! WHAM! This is a length ball, around off, slightly shortish too and Jos Buttler goes back and sends the ball sailing over the deep mid-wicket fence. 
6.5 : 6.5: Vijay Shankar to Sanju Samson, SIX! What a shot! Samson has started off in fine fashion here. Just stood tall and cracked this one. A good length ball, around off, Sanju Samson lofts this one with aplomb over the long off region. 
7.4 : 7.4: Khaleel Ahmed to Sanju Samson, FOUR! Pierces the gap with perfection. Sanju is displaying some lovely timing. This is a good length ball, outside off and there is some width. Samson frees his arms and slashes this one in between the fielder at backward point and short third man. A boundary. 
10.2 : 10.2: Rashid Khan to Sanju Samson, FOUR! One bounce and a boundary. Catch was the cry but it falls beside the fielder. A tossed up ball around off, Sanju Samson skips down and whacks thisone towards long on. Manish Pandey runs to his left, but the ball bounces and goes past. 
11.5 : 11.5: Khaleel Ahmed to Jos Buttler, FOUR! Funky from Buttler! A length ball, on middle and leg, Jos Buttler shuffles across and plays the paddle scoop over the keeper. Goes over and into the ropes. Much needed boundary. 
12.3 : 12.3: Sandeep Sharma to Jos Buttler, SIX! That brings up Jos Buttler's fifty too. Has been a good knock so far, but now, with Samson by his side, the Englishman will be look to amp it up. A length ball, around off, Jos Buttler stands tall and clobbers this one over long off. 
12.4 : 12.4: Sandeep Sharma to Jos Buttler, FOUR! That was like a tennis-style smash from Jos. A shortish ball outside off, Jos Buttler waits for the ball to arrive and then hops and whacks this one over extra cover. The fielder from long off runs to his left, but loses the race as the ball touches the ropes. 
13.3 : 13.3: Khaleel Ahmed to Sanju Samson, FOUR! Not off the middle but Sanju and Rajasthan will take it. Fuller and wide outside off, Samson looks to slam it down the ground but ends up getting a thickish outside edge. He slices it over backward point for a boundary. 100-run stand is up between the two.
13.5 : 13.5: Khaleel Ahmed to Jos Buttler, SIX! BANG! Fuller and outside off, Jos clears his front leg and powers it over deep mid-wicket for half a dozen.
14.2 : 14.2: Mohammad Nabi to Jos Buttler, SIX! Buttler is on fire here now! He moves to 70. It is not too bad a ball. Touch short but Buttler is on the back foot. He picks it up and deposits it over the long on fence.
14.3 : 14.3: Mohammad Nabi to Jos Buttler, FOUR! More runs! This one is drilled down the ground. Too full as Nabi overcorrects his length. Buttler drills it through mid on for a boundary.
14.5 : 14.5: Mohammad Nabi to Jos Buttler, FOUR! Another boundary. Buttler is indeed on fire. Once again a full ball from Nabi, this time Buttler hits it to the left of the bowler. Nabi tries to get a hand to it but he hardly has time to react. The ball whizzes to the fence in a flash. 
14.6 : 14.6: Mohammad Nabi to Jos Buttler, SIX! BANG! All the way! Massive over. 21 off it. This is floated around middle, once again on a fullish length. Buttler deposits this one over the deep square leg with a big slog.
15.1 : 15.1: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Sanju Samson, FOUR! Samson joins the act now! Runs flowing here for Rajasthan as they get to 150. Shortish and wide outside off, Samson slives it over point and finds the fence.
15.3 : 15.3: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jos Buttler, FOUR! More runs! Streaky boundary this time. A length ball, just around off, Buttler looks to hammer it on the leg side but ends up getting a thick outside edge that goes over short third man. The fielder chases but he cannot stop.
16.3: Vijay Shankar to Jos Buttler, EDGY FOUR! Full and wide outside off, Buttler looks to drill it through the off side but ends up getting an inside edge. The ball races away to the fine leg fence.
16.4 : 16.4: Vijay Shankar to Sanju Samson, OUT! TAKEN! Very good catch near the rope by Samad. The stand is broken. A knuckle ball from Shankar. Samson looks to go big and he targets the long off fence. However, he fails to get the timing right and gets more height than distance. Samad at long off settles himself, times his jump to perfection, and takes the catch nicely. Maintains his balance as well. Fine knock from the skipper ends.
16.5 : 16.5: Vijay Shankar to Jos Buttler, FOUR! Slashed away! Buttler moves to 99. Length ball, outside off, Buttler reaches out and slams it through point. A boundary for him.

18.5: Sandeep Sharma to Jos Buttler, SIX! WHACK! Buttler takes full toll of the Free Hit. A 75m biggie and Rajasthan are on a roll here. A short ball way outside off, Jos Buttler reaches out and spanks this one over covers. 
18.6 : 18.6: Sandeep Sharma to Jos Buttler, OUT! DRAGGED ON! Sandeep has been smacked in this over, but on the last ball of his spell, he gets the wicket of Buttler. The Englishman will head back, with his dug out up and applauding him. 124 runs from just 64 balls. A knock that he will not forget so easily. A length ball, way outside off, Buttler swings his blade at this but the ball takes the inside edge and crashes into the furniture behind. 
19.6: Vijay Shankar to David Miller, SIX! No, he cannot! Miller knows that Vijay Shankar will bowl a full and wide outside off delivery. So, he is ready and he spanks this one all the way over covers. RAJASTHAN END ON 220/3! 
0.5 : 0.5: Kartik Tyagi to Manish Pandey, FOUR! Streaky one! Not at all what Pandey wanted to do but he opens his account here. This is the short ball, around off, Manish Pandey lines up and sways away, looking to leave the ball, but lets his bat hang. The ball hits the bat and loops behind the keeper and goes past the ropes for a boundary.

3.2 : 3.2: Chetan Sakariya to Jonny Bairstow, FOUR! That went miles in the air and it was a chance but Buttler could never get under it. A length ball around off and middle, Jonny looks to go down the ground but he fails to time it well. Ends up miscuing it high in the air. Buttler from mid off runs back and tries to catch but fails and the ball goes to the fence.
3.3 : 3.3: Chetan Sakariya to Jonny Bairstow, FOUR! SHOT! Jonny is in the mood! Length ball, just outside off, Bairstow slaps it through covers and finds the fence. 14 off the first 3 balls.
4.2 : 4.2: Kartik Tyagi to Manish Pandey, SIX! Pandey breaks free now! He gets a full ball and he manages to get under it and thump it over extra cover for a biggie.
4.4 : 4.4: Kartik Tyagi to Manish Pandey, SIX! BANG! Tyagi's over getting spoiled here. Another length ball, once again it is angled in. Pandey whacks it over deep mid-wicket for a biggie.
5.4: Chris Morris to Manish Pandey, FOUR! Pandey has found his mojo now. A little too full, around off, Manish Pandey gets underneath the ball and whacks this one past the mid on fielder. Boundary. 
5.5 : 5.5: Chris Morris to Manish Pandey, FOUR! Pandey does not be left behind here. He is catching up with Jonny Bairstow now. A back of a length ball around off, Manish Pandey swivels and pulls this one through mid-wicket for a boundary. 
6.1 : 6.1: Mustafizur Rahman to Manish Pandey, OUT! TIMBER! Rahman had to break this partnership and he does that. The Fizz strikes and Pandey, who has been batting really nicely, will not be able to continue. A length ball, around leg, Manish Pandey comes ahead and looks to work the ball to the leg side but he misses. The ball first hits him on the pads and then deflects onto the pads. A big, big wicket and Rajasthan will look to build on this. 
7.3 : 7.3: Rahul Tewatia to Jonny Bairstow, FOUR! Not a good start for Tewatia and Bairstow plays this one nicely. Drags his short and bowls it on leg, Jonny Bairstow swivels and pulls this one past the short fine leg fielder, for a boundary. 
7.6 : 7.6: Rahul Tewatia to Jonny Bairstow, OUT! CAUGHT! Even though Tewatia had not started the over nicely, he wraps up the over in the best manner as he gets the big fish - the massive wicket of Bairstow. Rahul Tewatia drags this one shortish and around off, Jonny Bairstow goes back and looks to bang this one, but only with the toe end of the bat. No distance, only elevation on this stroke. The ball goes towards long on, where Anuj Rawat runs ahead, gets low and takes a top catch. 151 more nee
9.3 : 9.3: Rahul Tewatia to Vijay Shankar, FOUR! Nicely done by Shankar. This is drifting down the leg pole and Vijay Shankar just tickles this one through short fine leg for a boundary.

Another short ball from Morris, Shankar goes for the pull but he fails to get it off the middle. Ends up miscuing it high in the air towards long on. Miller runs forward, settles under it and takes the catch easily.
11.3 : 11.3: Rahul Tewatia to Kedar Jadhav, SIX! Jadhav has slammed this one and they need more of the same. This is tossed up and around off, Kedar Jadhav skips down the track and whacks this one over long on. 
12.4 : 12.4: Kartik Tyagi to Kane Williamson, FOUR! Tyagi looks to follow Kane Williamson and ends up bowling a full ball on the body, Kane Williamson just tickles thisone to the fine leg fence. 
12.5 : 12.5: Kartik Tyagi to Kane Williamson, OUT! TAKEN! Kartik has the success. He gets rid of dangerous Williamson with a short ball. Kartik was superb in his first 2 overs and got hit in his 3rd but he has done a superb job in this over and deserves this wicket. He runs in and bangs it short and around middle. It was the slower one. Williamson went for the pull but failed to get the timing and found Morris at deep mid-wicket. It was the slower bouncer from Tyagi.
12.6 : 12.6: Kartik Tyagi to Mohammad Nabi, MISFIELD AND FOUR! Poor from Parag. A full ball around middle, Nabi flicks it straight to deep square leg. Parag there, runs to his right and is a bit slow in getting down. He allows the ball to go through to the fence.
13.2 : 13.2: Rahul Tewatia to Mohammad Nabi, SIX! BANG! Tossed up and around off, Nabi dances down the track and slams it over the bowler's head for a biggie.

14.2 : 14.2: Mustafizur Rahman to Mohammad Nabi, OUT! TAKEN! The Fizz strikes and wickets continue to tumble for Hyderabad. Nabi played a couple of good strokes but he ends up giving his wicket away. A slower delivery around off, it is on a good length. Mohammad Nabi looks to slam this one away but only manages to slice this one high in the air towards the cover region, where Anuj Rawat takes his second catch of the evening. 
15.1 : 15.1: Chetan Sakariya to Abdul Samad, SIX! SLAP! Samad can hit it long and he shows it here again. A slower short ball around off, Abdul Samad goes back and pulls this one hard over the deep mid-wicket fence for a biggie. 
16.3 : 16.3: Chris Morris to Abdul Samad, OUT! Excellent catch. Anuj Rawat is the fielder again. Third catch for Rawat. Morris bowls this very full and wide outside off, Samad looks to go big over long off but he mishits it. The ball goes high in the air and away from mid off. Rawat runs back and takes a fine diving catch.
16.6 : 16.6: Chris Morris to Kedar Jadhav, OUT! TIMBER! You miss, I hit stuff from Morris. Jadhav wasn't connecting anything so Morris bowls one on a lenth and around off and middle. Jadhav swings hard but fails to connect and the stumps are rattled behind. Second wicket in the over for Morris. Just 2 runs and 2 wickets. superb stuff.
17.2 : 17.2: Mustafizur Rahman to Rashid Khan, OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust Rashid departs for 2-ball duck. Can't really blame him though. A slower, fuller ball around off, Rashid clears his front leg and tried to go big. But he cannot clear the fielder at long off. Morris takes a simple catch. This is getting over a bit too early here.
17.6 : 17.6: Mustafizur Rahman to Sandeep Sharma, EDGY FOUR! Full and wide, Sandeep looks to keep it out but he ends up getting a thick outside edge. The ball goes between the keeper and short third man for a boundary. Rahman finishes with 4-0-20-3. Excellent figures.

19.3 : 19.3: Chetan Sakariya to Bhuvneshwar Kumar, FOUR! Deft from Kumar. Short and around middle, Kumar goes back and guides it between point and short third man. The ball goes to the fence.
