Match Commentary

Over 0.0 NONE

22:56 Local Time, 17:26 GMT, 22:56 IST: A fantastic chase from RR and no wonder they are all smiles. The move to bat Donovan Ferreira at 5 and also Shubham Dubey as the impact sub has proved to be fine moves.

17:28:03
Over 19.2 .116 FIFTY

Marco Jansen to Donovan Ferreira, SIX, RR and Donovan Ferreira end PK's winning run. Celebrations in the RR camp. It's a juicy low full-toss on the stumps, Ferreira gets forward and slams it flat and high over long-on. That went skimming off the bat and it's 50 for Ferreira as well

17:26:03
Over 19.1 .115 NONE

Marco Jansen to Shubham Dubey, 1 run, slower-ball and wide outside off, Shubham Dubey gets forward to cut and it's miscued. Arshdeep runs in from deep point, had to dive forward, doesn't. Bounces in front of him. Jansen just looks at Arshdeep who turns his back and goes off

17:26:03
Over 0.0 NONE

Marco Jansen [3.0-0-34-0] is back into the attack

17:24:03
Over 0.0 NONE

Last over and just 2 needed. Sooryavanshi and Jaiswal ready to celebrate. Jansen to bowl.

17:24:03
Over 18.6 .114 Over-break

Lockie Ferguson to Shubham Dubey, 1 run, slower-ball and full on off, Shubham Dubey gets forward to drive and gets it wide of extra-cover for one

17:24:03
Over 18.5 .113 NONE

Lockie Ferguson to Donovan Ferreira, 1 run, slower-ball and the leg-cutter outside off, Donovan Ferreira gets forward and swipes the pull hard and straight to deep mid-wicket

17:24:03
Over 18.4 .112 FOUR

Lockie Ferguson to Donovan Ferreira, FOUR, seam-up and the short of length delivery flies off the top-edge as Donovan Ferreira gets forward to pull. Extra pace and bounce, Ferreira swings so hard, that's why the top-edge flies over short third man. Just a hit away now

17:22:02
Over 18.3 .111 NONE

Lockie Ferguson to Donovan Ferreira, no run, short of length and across Donovan Ferreira, seam-up, outside off, he pulls and misses. A rare dot

17:22:02
Over 18.2 .110 SIX

Lockie Ferguson to Donovan Ferreira, SIX, that's into the top-tier at deep mid-wicket. Monstrous hit. A slower-ball and the leg-cutter again, short of length and sits up, Donovan Ferreira gets forward and smashes the pull, way back over the fence. 105m hit and the PK faces tell a story. They know the game is done. Ferreira is a brutal basher of the ball and this was just an example of his six-hitting prowess

17:20:04
Over 18.1 .109 FOUR

Lockie Ferguson to Donovan Ferreira, FOUR, just wide of the dive of mid-off to his right. It's a slower-ball, the leg-cutter and full outside off, Donovan Ferreira gets forward and belts it. Shreyas the man and the power on the shot was immense. Ferreira loved that, points at someone in the dugout with a smile on his face

17:20:04
Over 0.0 NONE

18 off 12. Should be easy for RR.

17:20:04
Over 17.6 .108 Over-break,PARTNERSHIP

Arshdeep Singh to Shubham Dubey, SIX, this he nails. Off-pace slower-ball and outside off, Shubham Dubey shuffles across and pulls, sort of a top-edge and it flies over the deep square-leg fence. Anticipated that Arshdeep Singh would bowl the same ball again and was ready for it. That should be the game-defining hit

17:18:04
Over 17.5 .107 NONE

Arshdeep Singh to Shubham Dubey, no run, slower-ball and short of length outside off, strangely Shubham Dubey lets it go. Maybe he thought it will bounce extra. Which it didn't. Well under the shoulder

17:18:04
Over 17.4 .106 NONE

Arshdeep Singh to Donovan Ferreira, 1 run, again it's a low full-toss and under the bat, on middle-stump, Donovan Ferreira gets forward to flick to deep mid-wicket and it's just one

17:18:04
Over 17.3 .105 NONE

Arshdeep Singh to Donovan Ferreira, no run, beautiful yorker length outside off, swinging away, Donovan Ferreira gets forward to drive, off the toe-end and back to Arshdeep Singh. A precious dot

17:16:04
Over 17.2 .104 FOUR

Arshdeep Singh to Donovan Ferreira, FOUR, round the wicket and the result doesn't change. It's a juicy low full-toss on off, angling into the right-hander, Donovan Ferreira gets forward and lofts to the long-off fence. It's one bounce over the ropes. Again long-off too wide

17:16:04
Over 17.1 .103 SIX

Arshdeep Singh to Donovan Ferreira, SIX, full outside off, Donovan Ferreira gets forward and lofts, more of a sliced hit. This flies straight down the ground and all the way. Ferreira showed his timing there. Immediately Shreyas comes to Arshdeep Singh to have a chat

17:14:03
Over 0.0 NONE

Arshdeep Singh [3.0-0-51-1] is back into the attack

17:14:03

17:14:03
Over 16.5 .101 FOUR

Lockie Ferguson to Shubham Dubey, FOUR, full on leg-stump, Shubham Dubey takes his front leg out of the way, gets forward to flick and it runs away to the deep backward square-leg fence. Did well to get the bat down in time

17:12:04
Over 0.0 NONE

Shreyas has a chat with Lockie Ferguson. About field placings.

17:12:04

Over 16.3 .99 NONE

Lockie Ferguson to Donovan Ferreira, no run, three dots in the over. A slower-ball leg-cutter that Lockie Ferguson bowls well, on a good length and just outside off, Donovan Ferreira gets forward to heave and misses. Ferguson has his hands on his head

17:12:04
Over 16.2 .98 NONE

Lockie Ferguson to Donovan Ferreira, no run, again Donovan Ferreira has missed out on a juicy low full-toss. He will be livid. Gets forward to swipe to leg, misses

17:10:02

17:08:03
Over 15.5 .95 NONE

Marco Jansen to Shubham Dubey, 1 run, nicely done. It's the yorker length delivery on middle, Shubham Dubey gets forward and opens the face of the bat to guide it wide of backward point. Stoinis chases and slides to pull it back. Poor from Dubey as he was assuming it would go for four. Is in the middle of the pitch, Donovan Ferreira has already completed one, wants the second. Meets Dubey midway, then Dubey sends Ferreira back and in the end it's just one. Terrible cricket awareness. Manages to draw a smile from Vikram Rathour in the RR dugout

17:08:03
Over 15.5 .95 NONE

Over 15.4 .94 FOUR

17:06:02
Over 15.3 .93 SIX

Marco Jansen to Shubham Dubey, SIX, round the wicket and Shubham Dubey has pumped Marco Jansen for six. It's a slower-ball and full outside off, Dubey gets forward and swings it into the 2nd-tier at long-on. Shreyas watches the flight of the ball. Went 98m

Chahal with the tongue out and a fist-pump to celebrate. Also the timeout now. Parag joins the team huddle for a chat. It's tossed up full outside the leg-stump, Parag wanted another six, but fails to get under this, gets forward and lofts, more off the thick inner half of the bat. Finds Shedge who has an easy catch. Last ball of Chahal and he ends with a wicket. Riyan Parag c Suryansh Shedge b Yuzvendra Chahal 29(16) [4s-2 6s-2]
