After 16 overs,Rajasthan Royals 115/8 ( Jofra Archer 5 , Ankit Rajpoot 0)

Bumrah is back. First up is an excellent yorker to Tewatia. Second one is also an excellent yorker, this time fetching him a wicket. Ankit Rajpoot is the new man in after the fall of Shreyas Gopal. The asking rate is now close to 19. Rajasthan are eight down. Mumbai will clinch another victory today.

After 15 overs,Rajasthan Royals 113/6 ( Rahul Tewatia 5 , Jofra Archer 4)

Mumbai in full control of the match but Rajasthan still have a small chance because of Jofra Archer and Rahul Tewatia. Both batsman can hit the ball long. The asking rate is now 16. Five overs remaining in the match. 11 off Pollard’s over.

Pollard now picks up a wicket. 

Tom Curran fails to clear the fielder at deep mid-wicket. Tom Curran c Hardik Pandya b Pollard 15(16).

After 14 overs,Rajasthan Royals 102/5 ( Tom Curran 9 , Rahul Tewatia 4)

Pollard is such a valuble player to have. The man can do everything. A brilliant match-winner, when he’s batting or bowling or fielding. Maybe he turned this match in Mumbai’s favour with that catch. A four from Tewatia to end Pattinson’s over.

WHAT A CATCH!  WHAT A CATCH!!

Buttler with the slog. Pollard, at long on, jumps and then after a little fumble, manages to hold on to the catch. Is that the end for Rajasthan? Buttler c Pollard b Pattinson 70(44).

After 13 overs,Rajasthan Royals 97/4 ( Jos Buttler (W) 70 , Tom Curran 8)

Kieron Pollard with the ball. Curran does well to give the strike back to Buttler who smashes a six and a four. He goes for the big hit again in the fourth ball but fails to connect it. Two singles off final two balls.

After 12 overs,Rajasthan Royals 84/4 ( Jos Buttler (W) 59 , Tom Curran 6)

Krunal Pandya went short against Buttler and gets punished. He ends up bowling seam deliveries to both batsmen and it worked. After a six, he gives away just four singles.

After 11 overs,Rajasthan Royals 74/4 ( Jos Buttler (W) 51 , Tom Curran 4)

Chahar with his third of the night. The second ball is on the leg-side after he sees Curran coming down the track. De Kock takes it but fails to affect the stumping. That’s actually a tough chance considering the ball is too far down the leg. A six and a single off the over. Buttler is keeping his team in the game but it’s tough task.

Buttler is all about power! 

Short from Chahar and Buttler sends the ball over the deep mid-wicket boundary. That’s 50 for Buttler.

After 10 overs,Rajasthan Royals 63/4 ( Jos Buttler (W) 43 , Tom Curran 2)

Krunal Pandya comes to bowl. Buttler does well to find the gaps in the first two balls. Back-to-back two runs for the English player. Could’ve been a good over if not for the six in the fifth ball. 12 off it.

After 9 overs,Rajasthan Royals 51/4 ( Jos Buttler (W) 32 , Tom Curran 1)

Rajasthan Royals bring up 50 runs but Mumbai have done a lot of damage. Four wickets lost in the chase but Buttler is still in the middle. When he’s out there, there’s always a chance for Rajasthan. Tom Curran is the new batsman. Nine runs and a wicket off Chahar’s over.

What a catch from substitute fielder Anukul Roy! 

Lomror comes down the track to Chahar. Goes for the big hit but no timing at all. Ball goes high in the air. Anukul runs and takes a diving catch inside the 30-yard circle. Lomror c (sub)Anukul Roy b Rahul Chahar 11(13)

After 8 overs,Rajasthan Royals 42/3 ( Jos Buttler (W) 24 , Mahipal Lomror 11)

Pattinson to Lomror. A bouncer in the first ball as the batsman plays an uncomfortable shot from a single. Goes short to Buttler who finds the gap on the leg-side and take two runs. Buttler then makes little bit room but not enough to free his arms. Pattinson bowls a slower ball as Buttler flick it for two more runs. After a single, Pattinson shouts for a LBW against Lomror. Umpire says no and Mumbai decide not to take the review. Timeout now!

After 7 overs,Rajasthan Royals 35/3 ( Jos Buttler (W) 19 , Mahipal Lomror 10)

Spin is introduced. Rahul Chahar to Buttler. The batsman goes for the reverse sweep and it results in two runs. He tries the same shot in the next ball but this time, hits it straight to the fielder. Chahar then saw Buttler come down the track and bowls a good ball for no run. Two singles to end the over.

After 6 overs,Rajasthan Royals 31/3 ( Jos Buttler (W) 16 , Mahipal Lomror 9)

Pattinson into the attack. Lomror sends the ball in the air and it is just short of point fielder. Batsmen take a double. Pattinson should’ve tighten his line against the southpaw. Buttler tries to drive a fuller delivery but misses it. The last ball is on the pads as Buttler flicks for a single. End of powerplay. Superb start from Mumbai bowlers.

After 5 overs,Rajasthan Royals 23/3 ( Jos Buttler (W) 15 , Mahipal Lomror 2)

Boult bowls his third over of the night. After two dots, Lomror tries to smash one straight down the ground but the timing’s off. Just a single. A four and two singles to end the over. Another good one for Mumbai.

After 4 overs,Rajasthan Royals 16/3 ( Jos Buttler (W) 10 , Mahipal Lomror 0)

Bumrah continues. Bowls a brilliant yorker to Buttler in the third ball. Pity the ball misses the stumps by inches. After conceding a boundary, Bumrah does well to beat Buttler with a pacy good length ball. Dot to end the over.
