Halt in play. It seems like the straps on Iyer's batting pads have come off and he gets rid of both of them. A new pair is on its way.

Kagiso Rabada to Shreyas Iyer, TWO WIDES! A risky run. Hard length, angling down leg, Iyer leaves it alone and Buttler dives to his left, making a half stop. Prabhsimran Singh calls Iyer for a quick single as well and probably the Punjab skipper didn't like that call, a bit unnecessary at this stage of the game.

Kagiso Rabada to Prabhsimran Singh, ! Prabhsimran Singh is off the mark with a fine shot.

Top-drawer opening over from Siraj. Kagiso Rabada will operate from the opposite end.

Mohammed Siraj to Shreyas Iyer, No hat-trick! Back of a length and outside off. Shreyas Iyer gets on his toes and dabs it down towards point.

What a sensational start for the Titans through Siraj. And got to say, a brilliant decision by the on-field umpire amid the deafening noise from the crowd.

Mohammed Siraj to Cooper Connolly, ! CAUGHT BEHIND! Or is it? A prolonged appeal for a caught behind and eventually, the umpire raises his finger. Cooper Connolly seems uncertain and has a chat with Prabhsimran Singh before finally taking the review.

Huge blow for PBKS as the opening pair is separated in just two balls. Siraj continues to dominate in the Powerplay.

Mohammed Siraj to Priyansh Arya, ! CAUGHT! Siraj gets his man on the second chance and Punjab Kings are already 2/1 after just 2 deliveries.

Mohammed Siraj to Priyansh Arya, Oh, what a valiant effort from Jos Buttler. Mohammed Siraj and GT almost get a wicket first ball. Siraj begins with a shortish delivery over off and middle. Priyansh Arya looks to pull but gets a top edge that flies down towards fine leg, but fairly fine. The keeper runs after it and puts in a big dive but the ball falls out of reach. Two taken.

Competitive total on the board? Gujarat Titans will certainly be the happier of the two sides heading into the break, but Punjab Kings will be decently pleased with that recovery.

A slight appeal for LBW, but the umpire shakes his head. Doing too much to slide down leg.

Halt in play. It seems like the straps on Iyer's batting pads have come off and he gets rid of both of them. A new pair is on its way.

Kagiso Rabada to Shreyas Iyer, TWO WIDES! A risky run. Hard length, angling down leg, Iyer leaves it alone and Buttler dives to his left, making a half stop. Prabhsimran Singh calls Iyer for a quick single as well and probably the Punjab skipper didn't like that call, a bit unnecessary at this stage of the game.

Kagiso Rabada to Prabhsimran Singh, ! Prabhsimran Singh is off the mark with a fine shot.

Top-drawer opening over from Siraj. Kagiso Rabada will operate from the opposite end.

Mohammed Siraj to Cooper Connolly, ! CAUGHT BEHIND! Or is it? A prolonged appeal for a caught behind and eventually, the umpire raises his finger. Cooper Connolly seems uncertain and has a chat with Prabhsimran Singh before finally taking the review.

Huge blow for PBKS as the opening pair is separated in just two balls. Siraj continues to dominate in the Powerplay.

Mohammed Siraj to Priyansh Arya, ! CAUGHT! Siraj gets his man on the second chance and Punjab Kings are already 2/1 after just 2 deliveries.

Mohammed Siraj to Priyansh Arya, Oh, what a valiant effort from Jos Buttler. Mohammed Siraj and GT almost get a wicket first ball. Siraj begins with a shortish delivery over off and middle. Priyansh Arya looks to pull but gets a top edge that flies down towards fine leg, but fairly fine. The keeper runs after it and puts in a big dive but the ball falls out of reach. Two taken.
