Mohammed Shami to Jos Buttler, FOUR! This over is probably the one which seals the deal for Rajasthan. 19 from it and only 11 more needed. A slower one on middle. Buttler heaves it over mid-wicket and it races away to the fence.

Mohammed Shami to Steven Smith, FOUR! This is majestic from Smith! He goes down on one knee and plays the paddle scoop. He just knew where Shami was going to bowl and plays a brilliant shot. It goes for a boundary in the fine leg region. Runs needed below 20 now.

15.6
Chris Jordan to Jos Buttler, SIX! It's a big hoick and spoils all the good work done in this over by Jordan. His slower delivery is picked this time Buttler. The length is full and Buttler dispatches it over long on. 10 from the over, 30 needed off 24 balls.

14.2
Ravi Bishnoi to Steven Smith, OUT! Samson is short! Even the dive does not save him. Punjab have got the breakthrough they desperately needed. Yes, they are still on the back foot but this can be the opening for them. Also, this is the last thing Rajasthan needed. The two were going along so nicely. This is shorter and outside off. Smith mistimes it towards point and takes off. Suchith, the substitute, gets to the ball from point, picks it up and scores a direct hit at the keeper's end. Punjab are already celebrating. The umpire refers it. Replays show that Samson is short. A sorry way to end a promising inning,

Chris Jordan to Steven Smith, FOUR! Nice and fine! Beautifully played by Smith! It is a low full toss on middle. He manages to stay leg side of the delivery and jams it fine towards third man. This time Arshdeep has no chance. 42 needed in 36.

Chris Jordan to Sanju Samson, FOUR! Poor ball again. It is on the pads with fine leg up. Not what he wants. Samson works it fine on the leg side and it races away to the fence.

Murugan Ashwin to Robin Uthappa, OUT! Uthappa holes out! He wanted to repeat the last shot but this time failed to get the desired elevation and distance. A flighted full ball around off, Uthappa bends his back knee as he goes for the slog sweep but doesn't get enough power behind the shot. Pooran in the deep mid-wicket region does well to catch it and keeps his balance to stay away from the fence. 75 needed off 55 balls and this match is hanging in the balance.

10.4
Murugan Ashwin to Robin Uthappa, SIX! This is a much better option! Flighted and full around off, Uthappa goes down on one knee and smokes it handsomely over mid-wicket. Sweet sound of bat meeting ball!

Arshdeep Singh to Sanju Samson, FOUR! Nice and fine! Ends the over on a high and Rajasthan are in cruise control here. This is very nicely played. It is a very full ball outside off. Samson opens the face of the bat and guides it past short third man. No chance of stopping that one.

Chris Jordan to Ben Stokes, OUT! Massive breakthrough for Punjab! Jordan has responded with the big wicket of Ben Stokes. He spears in a very full ball on middle, Stokes tries to open the leg side field with a big heave across the line but ends up slicing it in the air toward mid off. A simple catch for Deepak Hooda who makes no error. 126 needed off 87 balls.

Chris Jordan to Ben Stokes, SIX! No one will be spared, Stokes is in his zone. Smashes a 24-ball 50 and remains focused in his celebration.
