Time for the last over. LSG need 34 from this one. Not impossible but they need 5 sixes and a four and the bowler is Prasidh. The first ball is a six!!!! Next ball, Stoinis departs. Caught by Parag. Just 1 from the next 2 balls. Wide ball. Has to bowl the last ball again. All over. RR win by 24 runs
The 19th over now. Stoinis had hit a six off the last ball of the 18th. He'll need strike now. Obed McCoy in to bowl and Mohsin gives the strike back. That's a four now as McCoy looks uncomfortable. Next ball, he gets a wicket as Parag takes a brilliant catch to send Stoinis back. Umpires are reviewing though. Yeah. The ball hit the ground first and Stoinis survives. That's 2 back to back wides. A fout=r to end the over. LSG 145/7 after 19 overs.
McCoy on the button again as Chameera swings and misses. The result? He gets absolutely cleaned up. That's the 7th wicket down for Lucknow. LSG 120/7 after 17 overs.
Quick ball and that's the end of Jason Holder. Great ball to get an outside edge and a catch for Samson. LSG are slipping awaya at this moment. LSG 120/6 after 16.4 overs.
16th over and Chahal to bowl this. No run from the first ball but the second ball is smashed for a four!!! 2 runs off the next ball. What happened here? Hooda misses and Sanju gets the bails off after a little while. He then uproots the stumps for good measure as Hooda stays rooted on te spot, probably thinking he's a goner. LSG 116/5 after 16 overs
Boult is back into the attack to bowl his 3rd over. Ufff!! That gets an edge and raced away to te boundary at third man. Hooda needs more like those. He is just 1 run from his 50. And he gets it in the next ball. Very well played. LSG 107/4 after 15 overs
Ashwin in to bowl his last and what a catch!!! Buttler and Parag combining to send Krunal Pandya back. The umpires will review this one though. That's a fair catch and finally a breakthrough for RR. LSG 94/4 after 13.1 overs
Over number 13 and McCoy in to bowl this one. Good partnership this from LSG. Rajasthan need a breakthrough. Brilliant fielding from Neesham again to save a boundary. LSG 94/3 after 13 overs.
Ashwin in to bowl the 12th over and that's two runs to start. That's an edge and it goes for a four!!! Ashwin looks frustrated after that. Very unlucky for him. LSG 88/3 after 12 overs.
Huge six by Hooda to start Chahal's over. Absolutely smashed over the fence. Sweeps the next ball and that's gone racing past the fielder for a four!! He is going after Chahal. 50 partnership up. LSG 79/3 after 11 overs.
Ashwin in to bowl the 10th over. 4 runs off the first 3 balls, including a wide. Huge shout now for an LBW. Will they review? No. Another tight over. Just 5 runs from it. LSG 66/3 after 10 overs.
Obed McCoy in to bowl the 9th over. Brilliant shot and a brilliant bit of fielding from Boult to save a certain boundary. That's a six!! Lovely reaction shot by Hooda. Bowled leg side and Hooda flicks it over the ropes. Boult is off the field. Might be an injury. LSG 61/3 after 9 overs
Ashwin in to bowl the 8th over, a big shout for "catch it" and that's safe. 2 more runs to follow. Lucknow need the big hits now as the run rate is slowly creeping up. LSG 50/3 after 8 overs
Great shot by Krunal to Chahal to send him out of the field for a six!!! He had started well, grabbing a boundary off the last over. 10 from this over. LSG 44/3 after 7 overs
Krishna in to bowl the last over in the powerplay and that's a six to start the over by Rahul. Great comeback by Krishna as he snares Rahul in the 3rd ball of the over!! Huge wicket and a great catch by Jaiswal. LSG 29/3 after 5.3 overs.
Boult starts the 5th over and starts with a corker to beat KL Rahul. Next two balls are also dots. This has been a lesson in powerplay bowling by the RR bowlers. Just 1 run from this over as well. LSG 23/2 after 5 overs
Prasidh Krishna in to bowl the 4th over and that's back to back four dot balls. Great bowling. Make that number 5. Will this be a maiden? No. Just 1 run off this one. LSG 22/2 after 4 overs.
That's another one gone as Ayush Badoni is caught plumb but LSG review. That's out and the youngster has to depart for a duck. LSG 15/2 after 2.2 overs.
Is that a catch out??? The umpires review. Great catch by Neesham here as de Kock is already walking off. It's a fair catch and that's a big wicket for the Rajasthan Royals. LSG 15/1 after 2.1 overs.
Prasidh Krishna in to bowl the second and that's classic shot by QDK for a four!!! What a beautiful shot down the ground. That's a edge by Rahul now and that's fallen just short of McCoy. LSG 15/0 after 2 overs
