...THE RUN CHASE…

Now the total is a big one, Rajasthan have a strong batting line-up but they need it to fire. They will need Buttler to fire. Punjab on the other hand, will feel, if they get Buttler, they will have the game in their bag. Join us for the chase in a bit.

Jonny Bairstow is down for a chat. He says that he got couple of low scores and it is good to go at the top of the order and get runs. Tells that the wicket is okay and they need to protect the short boundaries. Mentions that Jitesh Sharma is a fantastic player and it is great to have him and Liam Livingstone at 5-6. Signs off by saying that they will have to execute their skills well to defend this total.

For Rajasthan, except for Chahal, the others were under par. The likes of Boult, Sen and Prasidh Krishna leaked runs. They will be disappointed they let Punjab near the 190-run mark after pulling things back nicely in the middle overs.

That is an outstanding batting effort from Punjab on a wicket which did seem a little slow. They began cautiously and when they tried to go big, lost Dhawan. Bairstow and Rajapaksa steadied the ship with a decent stand. Agarwal and Bairstow then put up another decent partnership. Bairstow got to a nice half ton. However, both fell in quick succession and Punjab were in trouble at that moment. However, Jitesh Sharma played a blinder along with Livingstone. The two put up a brilliant 50-plus stand in no time and have taken their side's total to one which can be called above par.

19.6 overs (1 Run) Single to end the innings! A fullish delivery on off. Rishi Dhawan drives it to extra-cover and takes a single. 16 runs from the final over and Punjab end with 189/5 after 20 overs!

19.5 overs (1 Run) A length delivery on middle. Sharma swings it off the inside half of his blade to deep backward square leg for a single. Jitesh Sharma is not happy with himself but he has done a great job.

19.4 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! This is high-class stuff from this Vidarbha lad! A full delivery, around off. Jitesh Sharma creams it through extra-cover for a boundary. He has taken his team to a very good score, still two balls to go!

19.3 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Just over Jos Buttler at mid off and another boundary! A shorter delivery on off. Sharma slaps it and hits it over mid off for a boundary.

19.2 overs (6 Runs) SIX! What a shot and this has been a superb knock from this young man. A low full toss on leg. Sharma whips it over deep square leg for a maximum.

19.1 overs (0 Run) Lovely delivery to start the over! A perfect yorker on middle and leg. Sharma looks to dig it out but misses. The ball hits his pads and goes towards the leg side.
