9.6 overs (1 Run) A yorker, on middle. Buttler digs it out to mid-wicket and scampers across for a quick single. Just what Rajasthan needed, a big over, this one goes for 11 and they will look for a couple of more like this.
9.5 overs (0 Run) Full and outside off, pushed to covers.
9.4 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! This one is a shot of a classy player! A length ball, outside off. Buttler hangs back and drives it through mid off for a boundary. Hardik Pandya has no chance to stop it.
9.3 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Much needed boundary for Rajasthan! Bangs a bouncer, well directed as well. Buttler rides the bounce and pulls it to deep square leg for a boundary. It races away into the fence in no time.
9.2 overs (2 Runs) Superb work from Lockie Ferguson! Length ball wide outside off. Buttler drives it firmly and to deep cover. Lockie Ferguson runs to his right, dives and saves a couple of runs.
9.1 overs (0 Run) Length and on off. Buttler plays it back to Shami.
8.6 overs (0 Run) Excellent start from the skipper! Just a run and a huge wicket of Samson! Around off, Padikkal pushes it to extra-cover. Finds the fielder.
8.5 overs (0 Run) BEATEN AGAIN! Top-class bowling from Pandya! On a length and going across Padikkal. He looks to defend without much foot movement and fails to connect.
8.4 overs (0 Run) On the pads, flicked to mid-wicket.
8.3 overs (0 Run) Follows it with a peach of a delivery! A length ball, just around off. Padikkal looks to defend inside the line and gets beaten on the outside edge. The ball whizzes past the off pole.
Devdutt Padikkal walks out to bat!
8.2 overs (0 Run) OUT! CAUGHT! The skipper gets the opposition skipper! Pandya again hits the hard length and serves it just outside off. Samson plays the wrong line as he swings across but it goes off the top edge and to backward point where Sai Kishore tracks back and takes a really good catch. Not much contribution from Sanju Samson and he will be disappointed. Fair to say, the pitch is helping the seamers.
8.1 overs (1 Run) Pandya hits the deck and serves it outside off. Buttler cuts it aerially and to deep cover who collects it on a bounce. A single.
DRINKS! Rajasthan are off to a good start! The platform is laid for them to put on a really good total on the board. They would hope, both Buttler and Samson who have their eye in can continue. Gujarat on the other hand, need one of these two to fall or they well might be chasing a big total again. An interesting passage awaits.
7.6 overs (1 Run) Just five singles off the over then! Slides one around middle, it is hit to deep mid-wicket for one more.
7.5 overs (1 Run) A googly but was on the length. Samson reads it and wrists it to mid-wicket for a single.
7.4 overs (1 Run) Tossed up, just outside off. Buttler punches it to deep cover for a single.
7.3 overs (0 Run) Superb delivery! A slower one, length and outside off. Buttler waits on the back foot to cut but misses it.
7.2 overs (1 Run) A loopy ball, on off. Sanju steps across and drives it to the right of long off for a single.
7.1 overs (1 Run) Tossed up, around off. Jos pushes it past point for a single.
6.6 overs (1 Run) A quick single to end the over! Full and on off, it is pushed away to mid off and Buttler takes a risky but successful single.
6.5 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Two in a row! Short in length and outside off. Buttler cuts it hard and past point for a boundary. He is finding his rhythm.
6.4 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! JUST OVER! Lockie pitches it up, outside off. Buttler gets underneath and smashes it over mid off where Pandya leaps but it speeds over and into the fence.
6.3 overs (0 Run) Short of a length, outside off, steep bounce there. Buttler frees his arms and slashes at it but fails to connect.
6.2 overs (1 Run) A low full toss, outside off. Samson pushes it off the splice and to sweeper cover for a single.
6.1 overs (0 Run) Good shot but for no run! Overpitched and outside off. Samson drives it but straight to the man at mid off.
5.6 overs (0 Run) Dot to end the over! Good over by Rashid other than the first ball misfield! Darted on the pads, it is flicked to short fine leg. At the end of the Powerplay, Rajasthan are 44 for 1.
5.5 overs (1 Run) Just a single! Quicker again, floats it on middle. Samson turns it to deep mid-wicket for a single.
5.4 overs (0 Run) A quicker one, length and outside off. Samson drops it in front of covers. No run.
5.3 overs (1 Run) Tossed up, length and on middle. Buttler hangs back and nudges it to square leg for one more.
5.2 overs (1 Run) Slightly shorter and on middle. Samson tucks it past mid-wicket for a single.
5.1 overs (4 Runs) MISFIELD AND FOUR! Flatter and outside off Samson punches off the back foot to covers where Sai Kishore fails to stop it and allows it through for a boundary. Not what Pandya will like it.
