11.3 OUT! Timely breakthrough for Rajasthan! Once again it's Jorfra Archer who breaks the 86-run stand for the second wicket! Watson tries to be aggressive against the West Indian but the young man gets the better of him! Another pacy short pitch delivery at 138.3 kph, Watson goes for the pull. The ball goes miles up in the air and Buttler calls for it. He runs quickly to his left and settles under the high ball and he makes no mistake. Superb catch from the English man. 105/2

| Ambati Rayudu | 12 | 9 | 2 | 0 | 133.33 |
|
2.1 OUT! Chopped on! Archer strikes with his very first delivery! Rajasthan get the important opening they needed! Short of a length ball outside off, Rayudu takes a step down the track and looks to play the square cut. He goes too hard at that one and fails to make the desired connection. He gets a thick inside edge which cannons into the wickets. The in-form man for Chennai departs cheaply tonight! 19/1

| Suresh Raina | 52 | 35 | 6 | 1 | 148.57 |
|
13 OUT! Top edge and taken! Raina departs quickly after reaching the landmark, he must be feeling gutted with the execution of that shot. Another tossed up googly on the leg stump line from the Kiwi leg spinner, the ball spins away a little and jumps sharply too. Raina looks to play the sweep, he fails to get on top of the bounce and gets a top edge. The ball balloons to short fine leg and Binny takes a safe catch inside the inner circle. Sodhi gets his first wicket of the evening. 119/3

| Sam Billings | 27 | 22 | 3 | 0 | 122.72 |
|
19.4 OUT! Direct hit from Buttler and Billings is a goner! Yorker length from Stokes closer to the off stump, Billings backs away to slice that. He can't put bat to ball and looks for a quick bye. Buttler is alert as he underarms that one on to the stumps. Billings simply had no chance of returning back. 174/4

4 OUT! GONE! Harbhajan gets his man! An interesting knock from Ben Stokes comes to an end. He gives the charge and Harbhajan shortens the length just enough. The Englishman swings and misses the ball altogether. It goes right through and knocks the stumps over. First breakthrough for Chennai. 48/1

| Ajinkya Rahane C | 4 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 133.33 |
|
4.4 OUT! Another one down, this time it's the skipper. Jadeja comes from around the wicket and bowls it flat and short close to off. Rahane stays back, looks to put bat on ball but is taken by surprise due to the extra bounce. Draws an edge, it goes off Dhoni's gloves and pops into Raina's hands at first slip, which is his 150th T20th catch. Two wickets in two overs for Chennai. 53/2

| Sanju Samson | 21 | 22 | 2 | 0 | 95.45 |
|
11.2 OUT! Run out! Huge, huge mix-up and Samson is gone. He sacrificed himself, Buttler would have been gone otherwise. But he knows who the more important one is right now. Samson cuts this to short third man and there's a yes and no between both the batsmen. Sanju isn't as interested, but Buttler is more than halfway down the track. Seeing the throw coming in at the bowler's end, Samson runs to the other end. Bravo collects the ball and underarms it at the stumps at his end. He's gone. 99/3

| Prashant Chopra | 8 | 6 | 2 | 0 | 133.33 |
|
12.4 OUT! Thakur gets back at Prashant! Good field placement from Dhoni. Thakur bowls it to the field, full and on the pads, Prashant flicks it uppishly straight to Bravo at short mid-wicket. He takes it with ease and that's a timely breakthrough for the visitors. Rajasthan need 68 more in 44. 109/4

| Stuart Binny | 22 | 17 | 1 | 1 | 129.41 |
|
17.4 OUT! Gone next ball! Bravo strikes. Full toss on the stumps, Binny swings and gets it off the upper portion of the bat. Skies it in the cover area where Watson runs back, settles himself under the ball and takes a well-judged catch. 146/5

| Krishnappa Gowtham | 13 | 4 | 0 | 2 | 325 |
|
19 OUT! Edged and taken! Gowtham departs, but he just might have done enough for Rajasthan. Back of a length outside off, Krishnappa swings and gets an edge behind which Dhoni takes. 12 off the last over with Buttler on strike. What's going to happen here? 165/6
