Mohammad Shami to Jos Buttler, A yorker, on middle. Buttler digs it out to mid-wicket and scampers across for a quick single. Just what Rajasthan needed, a big over, this one goes for 11 and they will look for a couple of more like this.
Mohammad Shami to Jos Buttler, Full and outside off, pushed to covers.
Mohammad Shami to Jos Buttler, FOUR! This one is a shot of a classy player! A length ball, outside off. Buttler hangs back and drives it through mid off for a boundary. Hardik Pandya has no chance to stop it.
Mohammad Shami to Jos Buttler, FOUR! Much needed boundary for Rajasthan! Bangs a bouncer, well directed as well. Buttler rides the bounce and pulls it to deep square leg for a boundary. It races away into the fence in no time.
Mohammad Shami to Jos Buttler, Superb work from Lockie Ferguson! Length ball wide outside off. Buttler drives it firmly and to deep cover. Lockie Ferguson runs to his right, dives and saves a couple of runs.
Mohammad Shami to Jos Buttler, Length and on off. Buttler plays it back to Shami.
Hardik Pandya to Devdutt Padikkal, Excellent start from the skipper! Just a run and a huge wicket of Samson! Around off, Padikkal pushes it to extra-cover. Finds the fielder.
Hardik Pandya to Devdutt Padikkal, BEATEN AGAIN! Top-class bowling from Pandya! On a length and going across Padikkal. He looks to defend without much foot movement and fails to connect.
Hardik Pandya to Devdutt Padikkal, On the pads, flicked to mid-wicket.
Hardik Pandya to Sanju Samson, OUT! CAUGHT! The skipper gets the opposition skipper! Pandya again hits the hard length and serves it just outside off. Samson plays the wrong line as he swings across but it goes off the top edge and to backward point where Sai Kishore tracks back and takes a really good catch. Not much contribution from Sanju Samson and he will be disappointed. Fair to say, the pitch is helping the seamers.
Hardik Pandya to Devdutt Padikkal, Follows it with a peach of a delivery! A length ball, just around off. Padikkal looks to defend inside the line and gets beaten on the outside edge. The ball whizzes past the off pole.
Devdutt Padikkal walks out to bat!
Hardik Pandya to Jos Buttler, Pandya hits the deck and serves it outside off. Buttler cuts it aerially and to deep cover who collects it on a bounce. A single.
DRINKS! Rajasthan are off to a good start! The platform is laid for them to put on a really good total on the board. They would hope, both Buttler and Samson who have their eye in can continue. Gujarat on the other hand, need one of these two to fall or they well might be chasing a big total again. An interesting passage awaits.
Rashid Khan to Jos Buttler, Just five singles off the over then! Slides one around middle, it is hit to deep mid-wicket for one more.
Rashid Khan to Sanju Samson, A googly but was on the length. Samson reads it and wrists it to mid-wicket for a single.
Rashid Khan to Jos Buttler, Tossed up, just outside off. Buttler punches it to deep cover for a single.
