... THE RUN CHASE ...

Right then, the Punjab bowlers have set the game up for them nicely. The onus is now on their batters to get the job done, and a win here for Punjab would lift them off the bottom. On the other hand, Rajasthan have fallen way short of where they would have wanted to be, but they have something to bowl at. On a wicket that looks to be on the slower side, Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravichandran Ashwin will hold the key, but before that, the likes of Trent Boult and Sandeep Sharma will have to get ear

Harshal Patel is in for a chat. He mentions that it has been a kind of a see-saw. The Purple cap keeps running away from him. States that he always aspires to be as great as Jasprit Bumrah and really loves competing with him. Mentions that it is all about executing the dipping deliveries well, and he believes in himself a lot. Adds that he has been bowling the slower dipping yorker for 5 years, but in the previous season he could not really make a huge impact. On the score, he thinks that this i

As for Rajasthan, their innings never really took off and have had to be content with what looks like a below-par total at the halfway mark. Rajasthan faced an early setback, losing Yashasvi Jaiswal in the first over. Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Sanju Samson got a couple of boundaries but struggled to rotate the strike. Samson perished in his quest to break free, as did the debutant, Kohler-Cadmore. Promoted to number 5, Ravichandran Ashwin struggled to get going initially before taking Rahul Chahar

A sensational bowling effort from Punjab! From start to finish, the visitors exploited the conditions with the ball and just did not allow the Rajasthan batters to have it their way. Punjab dominated the Powerplay thanks to disciplined bowling, primarily from their pace attack. Although Arshdeep Singh was expensive in his initial overs, Sam Curran provided the early breakthrough. Nathan Ellis and Harshal Patel then maintained the pressure by stringing together dot balls, constraining Rajasthan'

Harshal Patel to Trent Boult, ! RUN OUT!

Harshal Patel to Trent Boult, Just short. A fuller one, on the stumps. Trent Boult hits it high in the air towards mid-wicket. The ball does not carry as the bowler hardly offered any pace on this one. Two runs taken.

Harshal Patel to Avesh Khan, Full toss, on the pads. Avesh Khan flicks it to fine leg for two runs.

Avesh Khan comes out to bat now.

Harshal Patel to Riyan Parag, ! LBW! The dipping full toss time time. Riyan Parag once again looks to send it sailing into the stands, but fails to get any bat on it. He gets struck on the thigh pads of his front leg. Harshal Patel puts in a loud appeal and the finger goes up instantly. Riyan Parag takes a review, as he is the last recognised batter, but he knows that he is done here. The Ball Tracking shows three reds and he takes the long walk. 

Harshal Patel to Riyan Parag, Harshal Patel dishes a slower one, full and outside off. Riyan Parag sets his eyes on it and goes for a wild heave across the line but does not connect. 

Who will bowl the last over? It will be Harshal Patel. He has gone for 22 runs from his 3 overs. Can he keep Rajasthan under 150?

Strategic break! Punjab continue to dominate the proceedings and they just have not allowed Rajasthan to get any sort of momentum into their innings. Through some disciplined bowling, they have been able to chip away at the wickets but cannot afford to be complacent and let the pressure off in the last four overs. Having been there since the 7th over, Riyan Parag has to bat through and ensure that Rajasthan end up with a fighting total. Arshdeep (3-0-22-1) will bowl after the break.

Rahul Chahar to Donovan Ferreira, Slows it up nicely, full and turning away, outside off, Donovan Ferreira lunges to play at it. The ball spins away and goes past the outside edge. There was not much interest from the bowler but Jonny Bairstow seemed interested and Sam Curran has taken the review. There is nothing on UltraEdge and Punjab lose their review.

Rajasthan opt for their Impact Player. It is Donovan Ferreira who walks in with the bat now. It is Dhruv Jurel who sits out for him.

Rahul Chahar to Donovan Ferreira, Fires it in, full and on off, Donovan Ferreira drives it off the front foot to cover.

Rahul Chahar to Rovman Powell, ! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! The googly has done the trick for Rahul Chahar! A soft dismissal and Rajasthan slip further.

Arshdeep Singh to Ravichandran Ashwin, ! c Shashank Singh b Arshdeep Singh.

Arshdeep Singh to Riyan Parag, Leg bye! Take pace off and serves it on a good length, on off and middle, Riyan Parag looks to work it across the line but gets beaten on the inside edge.

Change. The biggest over forces Sam Curran to try something new. He bring back Arshdeep Singh for his third.

Arshdeep Singh to Riyan Parag, Arshdeep serves it full and outside off, Riyan Parag drives it square to deep point for a single.

Rajasthan have lost their top three without many runs on the board. The onus will primarily be on Riyan Parag to inject life into his side's innings on a surface that does not look like a high-scoring one and looks to be on the slower side

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Right then, the Punjab bowlers have set the game up for them nicely. The onus is now on their batters to get the job done, and a win here for Punjab would lift them off the bottom. On the other hand, Rajasthan have fallen way short of where they would have wanted to be, but they have something to bowl at. On a wicket that looks to be on the slower side, Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravichandran Ashwin will hold the key, but before that, the likes of Trent Boult and Sandeep Sharma will have to get ear
