* Debutant Harry Gurney to bowl his first over in the Indian Premier League after the break.

* Strategic break.

20.35 IST: Kuldeep Yadav to Steven Smith, FOUR! Swept and swept hard. Flighted on middle, Smith gets on one knee and sweeps it through mid-wicket for a boundary.

20.34 IST: Kuldeep Yadav to Jos Buttler, FOUR. The connection on that one was sweet. Flighted on middle, Buttler brings out the reverse sweep and times it beautifully through point for a boundary.

20.32 IST: Sunil Narine to Steven Smith, FOUR! A much-needed boundary for Rajasthan. First one after 4 overs. Short and wide outside off, Smith slaps it through point for a boundary.

20.28 IST: Kuldeep Yadav to Steven Smith, 2 runs. The batsman has punched the ball off the back foot. The batsmen have picked up a couple of runs.

*  Kuldeep Yadav on to bowl now.

20.21 IST: Piyush Chawla to Jos Buttler, Quicker one on middle, Buttler hits it on the on side. Chawla quickly runs behind it and gets to the ball. No run.

20.16 IST: Prasidh Krishna to Jos Buttler, FOUR! That's a very clever shot from Jos Buttler. You expect that from him to be honest. The Englishman moves across his sticks early, anticipating the length delivery around off, and scoops it over short fine leg. Another boundary to his name. RR 20/1 in 3.3 Overs

20.14 IST: Prasidh Krishna to Jos Buttler, FOUR! That's nicely played. The outfield is quick and so once it's past the inner circle, it's always going to run away. A little too straight in line, Buttler flicks it through mid-wicket and finds the fence.

20.10 IST: Piyush Chawla to Jos Buttler, FOUR. There is very little margin for error while bowling in the Powerplay, especially to Buttler. It is short on middle and off, Buttler whips it through square leg for a boundary. RR 11/1 in 2.2 Overs

* Steven Smith walks in at no.3.

20.04 IST: Prasidh Krishna to Ajinkya Rahane, OUT! Rahane is gone. That's dead plumb. Walks over to Buttler to ask him whether the review should be taken and he says no. RR 5/1 in 1.1 Over

20.02 IST: Piyush Chawla to Ajinkya Rahane, FOUR! Rahane is off the mark in style and so are Rajasthan. Tossed up on off and middle, Rahane gets on one knee and sweeps it over mid-wicket. The ball bounces just inside the ropes and goes for a boundary. RR 4/0 in 0.4 Over

20.00 IST: Piyush Chawla to Ajinkya Rahane, Chawla starts with a very loopy delivery on off. It is a low full toss. Rahane blocks it off his front foot.

* Piyush Chawla to start the proceedings with the new ball.

* Out walk the umpires and players. Kolkata players are out and in their fielding positions. The opening pair of Ajinkya Rahane and Jos Buttler are out in the middle for Rajasthan.

Hello and welcome to our live blog of Match 21 of the IPL as Rajasthan Royals host Kolkata Knight Riders at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. The TOSS will take place at 7.30 PM IST, while play will commence from 8.00 PM IST.

Brief Report: Despite the victory against RCB, Royals will still look to iron out certain flaws which have plagued them recently. They have often failed to grab moments losing to Kings XI Punjab, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings after being in commanding position.  While star players, including Steve Smith and Ben Stokes, have failed to live up to the expectations, the likes of Sanju Samson, who had hit first ton of this IPL, Jos Buttler and captain Ajinkya Rahane have been good. Smith, although, scored 38 against RCB.  (Read Full Report Here)
