Devdutt Padikkal and Aaron Finch are at the crease. Jofra Archer opens the attack, and after a barrage of 145 kph deliveries, Padikkal is off the mark with a single. A wide and a two marks the end of the over. A brilliant start for Rajasthan. RCB: 4/0 (1 over)
Rajasthan Royals post 177/6 against Royal Challengers Bangalore in 20 overs. Steve Smith (57) and Jofra Archer (2) depart in the final over of the first innings as Morris ends with 4/26. RCB need 178 to win.
Steve Smith departs after a fine knock of 57 in the match against Bangalore. Morris with the big wicket gets help with a splendid catch by the debutant, Shahbaz. Jofra Archer comes in place of Smith.
A signature six by Tewatia followed by a boundary gives 15 crucial runs to Rajasthan in the 18th over, lifting the side. RR are 173/4 after 19 overs.
Steve Smith not only brings up his 11th IPL half-century off just 30 deliveries but he also crosses 1000* runs as an IPL captain. The Rajasthan skipper has struck seven boundaries in the match so far.
Chris Morris claims his second, Jos Buttler departs for 24 soon after coming together for a 50-run partnership with Steve Smith. RR are 133/4 after 16 overs. Rahul Tewatia comes to the crease.
Steve Smith sends that one into the orbit, sounded sweet off the bat and it traveled all the way and with that, Smith and Buttler bring up 50-run partnership.
After that Uthappa blitzkrieg, the scoring slowed down for Rajasthan. Buttler and Smith are building a partnership (50) but not scoring at a high rate. Buttler is 24 from 24 balls at the moment. RR are 119-3 with five overs to go.
Jos Buttler, Steve Smith revive Rajasthan Royals after quick fall of wickets. They are batting well and have taken RR past 100-run mark. RR are 103/3 after 13 overs.
After denying Chahal a hattrick and escaping closely, Buttler looks steady in the middle with a boundary and a mamixum so far. After 11 ovs, RR are 91/3 with Buttler and Smith out in the middle.
Yuzvendra Chahal has an immediate impact after coming in for his first over as he gets rid of Robin Uthappa and Sanju Samson in successive deliveries. RR are 69/3 after eight overs and skipper Steve Smith and Jos Buttler walk in.
Chris Morris gets the breakthrough at the end of an expensive powerplay. Stokes departs for 15. At the end of the powerplay, RR are 52/1. Sanju Samson walks in at No. 3.
RCB misses out on another opportunity and this time it was Uthappa who was in a danger. A quicker good length delivery by Navdeep Saini and the batsman charges down and tries to clear the ropes. However, the ball hits the bottom of the bat and goes high in the air. Virat Kohli at mid-on makes a brilliant effort, running back but misses out from getting his hands underneath. RR: 47/0 (5 overs)
A chance of a run-out but RCB misses out on it. Would Shahbaz Ahmad hit the stumps directly, it would have been the end of Ben Stokes.
Meanwhile, Utahppa continues his blaze as he hits Isuru Udana for a SIX on the final ball of the fourth over. Uthappa is batting on 28 from 13 balls. RR: 38/0 (4 overs)
That's some serious hitting by Robin Uthappa. He slams four boundaries in Washington Sundar's second over. Out of the four boundaries, three came on the on-side.
Meanwhile, he also goes past the 4500-run mark in IPL. RR: 21/0 (3 overs)
Chris Morris too maintains the same pressure as the new pair find difficult to get things going. Five runs on the board after two overs.
A tight start by Sundar, who just concedes two in his first over. Chris Morris will continue the RCB attack from the other end.
