1.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Mitchell Starc makes great use of his height, and Lungi Ngidi gets the first breakthrough for DC. Ngidi stays around the wicket and bowls a slower ball, full and wide outside off. Yashasvi Jaiswal throws the kitchen sink as he looks to clobber it leg side but gets an outside edge. The ball lobs fine of short third, where Starc leaps to his weaker right side and pouches it with both hands. Jaiswal's slim run of form continues and Rajasthan are 19/1 already. 19/1

7.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Madhav Tiwari gets the big fish, and David Miller isn't going to drop that. That's smartly bowled again by Tiwari, as he slows it up and pitches it fuller on off and middle. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi looks for the big heave but is undone by the lack of pace and checks his shot. He ends up chipping it down the ground, and Miller slides across to his right from long on to take the catch. Sooryavanshi falls short of his half-century here. The Royals are 89/2 in 7.3 overs. 89/2

| Dhruv Jurel Wk | 53 | 40 | 5 | 2 | 132.50 |

19.4 OUT! LBW! That seemed dead straight and up goes the umpire's finger. Dhruv Jurel has reviewed it, as he should at this stage of the game, but he doesn't seem too optimistic. Lungi Ngidi spears in a yorker on middle stump. Jurel gets across to the off side to flick it away but misses and gets hit on the pads. The third umpire has a look at it and there's nothing on UltraEdge as Ball Tracking comes up with three reds. Jurel had already started walking before the review was completed. 191/8

| Riyan Parag C | 51 | 26 | 3 | 5 | 196.15 |
|
14.2 OUT! OUTSTANDING CATCH BY AXAR! Starc gets his first wicket and breaks the 72-run partnership. He bowls it quite full and outside the off stump line. Riyan Parag clears the front leg to hit it over long on, but he fails to get underneath the ball cleanly. Still, he goes through his shot off the toe end and airs it towards long on. The ball threatens to dip in front of Axar Patel, but the DC skipper shows good awareness. He bends his knee and dives forward to scoop the ball before the ground. A top effort by Axar and Rajasthan Royals are 161/3 after 14.2 overs. 161/3

14.3 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! It's Axar once again to catch, and Starc has two in two. Hits the deck hard, does Starc, on middle and angling away. Donovan Ferreira stays put and tries to muscle it over the long on fielder, but gets no timing on it and lobs a simple catch to Axar Patel at long on. A golden duck for Ferreira and RR slip from 161/2 to 161/4. Starc is on a Hat Trick. 161/4

| Ravi Singh | 4 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 200 |
|
14.5 OUT! LBW! Momentum changing over in the game. Fuller in length, outside off stump, with a hint of nip back in. Ravi clears his front leg and looks to heave it across the line, but plays all over it, and the ball sneaks through the inside edge and catches him flush on the back leg. A huge, confident shout for LBW and up goes the finger. Ravi Singh, however, has a chat with Jurel and goes for a review. It looks dead straight in real time, though. UltraEdge comes up and detects no spike. Ball Tracking shows three reds. The on-field decision is upheld. A short stay on IPL debut for Ravi. A triple whammy for Starc as RR slide down from 161/2 to 165/5. 165/5

16.5 OUT! CAUGHT! A fine catch in the deep and Madhav Tiwari's impressive start in the IPL continues. Tiwari puts pace back onto the ball and hits a length, bowling it on middle and leg. Shubham Dubey goes for the pick-up shot but gets more height than distance. Tripurana Vijay settles himself just inside the ropes at deep backward square leg and takes it low to his right. The Royals keep bleeding wickets. 173/6

18.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Safe as houses from Tristan Stubbs. Mitchell Starc stays around the wicket to Dasun Shanaka and looks for the yorker around off, but ends up serving a juicy full toss. Shanaka backs away and goes after it but ends up slicing it high and wide of long off. Stubbs sprints to his left and slides in to take a fine catch and Starc has a four-fer. Rajasthan Royals are reduced to 187/7 now. 187/7

10.1 OUT! STRAIGHT UP AND TAKEN! Brijesh begins from around the wicket and dishes it out on a length, on off. Porel has a big swing at it, looking to go down the ground, but he is early into the lofted hit. It is skied off the lower half of the blade towards long on. Donovan Ferreira runs in off the ropes and takes a safe catch close to his waist. End of a 105-run opening stand. DC need 89 runs in 59 balls. 105/1

14.3 OUT! DRAGGED ON! Dasun Shanaka provides RR with a big scalp. Slower one by Dasun, on a good length, just outside the off stump. Rahul makes a bit of room to force it away on the off side but ends up chopping it back onto the stumps. KL really lost his rhythm towards the back end of his innings. DC are 133/3, needing 61 runs off 33 balls. 133/3

12.3 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Jofra Archer strikes on his return to the attack. Troubled on the previous ball, Sahil Parakh tries to go for the big shot, but it does not come off. Angled in, on a nagging length, on middle and leg. Parakh backs away and swings for the hills. The ball takes the outside edge and goes behind to the keeper, Dhruv Jurel, who gobbles it up. DC are 122/2, needing 72 off 45 balls. 122/2

16.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Yashasvi Jaiswal is back on the field and he takes a top catch, and the game keeps getting tighter and tighter. Tristan Stubbs is a bit early to shuffle past the off stump and sets up for the lap shot. Jofra Archer sees him and drags the length back, slowing it down a touch as well. Instead of hitting it fine, Stubbs ends up hitting it over backward square leg. Jaiswal charges in from deep square leg and takes a fine running catch. Archer delivers for RR, and DC now need 41 off 22 balls. 153/4

18.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to the man in the deep, and there's still a lot of life left in this game. Brijesh Sharma comes around the wicket and bowls a slower one into the pitch, just around off. David Miller gets his hands out in front and looks to drag the pull over mid-wicket but ends up hitting it flat. Dasun Shanaka moves a step to his right in the deep and pouches it around head height. The mighty Miller goes and Brijesh gets his second wicket. 19 required off 11. 175/5
