Rajasthan Royals cruise home with 47 balls to spare. Tossed up on the pads from around the wicket, Jaiswal presses back and clips it in front of square on the leg side for the winning run. Handshakes and smiles all around in the RR camp as they get their campaign underway with a thumping win.

 SIX! Jaiswal in a hurry now! Henry bowls full and on middle. Jaiswal creates room by moving leg side and charges down the track before thumping it over the long off fence for a biggie. RR need just 7 runs to win.

Full and across off, Jaiswal goes hard on the drive and loses his shape in the process. The bat turns in his hand and he miscues it off the inner half. The ball dribbles towards the vacant mid-wicket region and Yashasvi comes charging back for the second run.

Wide! The scores are level. Matt serves another short ball, just outside off. Parag looks to glide it down to deep third but misses. Riyan has a look at the square leg umpire but gets nothing. He feels the ball went over his head, and he takes the review to get the height checked. The replays confirm that the ball went over the batter's head. The on-field decision has been reversed.

Henry nails the yorker, right at the base of the middle stump. Parag digs it out down the strip.

A good bumper from around the wicket, outside off. It keeps rising on its way to the keeper and Parag drops his wrists to let it go.

Goes full, does Khaleel, in line with the off stump. Parag is early into the drive and plays it a bit uppishly in front of mid off.

FOUR! Excellently manufactured! Khaleel digs it in short, near the tramline. Parag gets on his toes and swings at it to go aerial. He gets his hands high to slap it between extra cover and mid off for a four. 22 more needed for the Royals.

Taken by Kartik Sharma, or has he? Sharma is not quite sure, and the check that has taken place in the background confirms that the ball bounced before going to hand. In the channel, on a length. Parag pushes at it with hard hands. The ball goes off an outside edge towards Kartik, who is in really tight at backward point. He dives, but the ball drops short.

FOUR! Clubbed! Bowled with an upright seam but right in the slot, just outside the off stump. Jurel gets behind the line and whips it towads wide long on. It nearly went the distance.

FOUR! Streaky! Full and around the off stump. A tentative prod by Jurel. Gets an inside edge that goes down to deep fine leg. Khaleel Ahmed goes after it and slides. He tries to parry the ball towards the converging Matthew Short but fails to get enough hand on it and the ball ends up trickling onto the ropes. 5 boundaries in the last 6 balls.

OUT! DRAGGED ON! Dhruv Jurel tries to be cheeky and sees his leg stump go for a walk. Another relatively full ball, outside off. Jurel shuffles across for the scoop and gets low to get under the ball. Ends up deflecting the ball onto the leg stump off the face of the bat. End of a breezy knock from Jurel.

Sooryavanshi absolutely picks the bones out of it as he gets under the ball and slams it to deep cover. He fails to get any elevation on the lofted hit.

Shortish delivery, jumping off the deck a bit, on off. Vaibhav cuts it away to deep backward point for a single. The Rajasthan Royals are already going at more than 10 an over.

A review lost! Khaleel generates a good amount of inswing on a length, into the batter. Sooryavanshi plays the wrong line as the ball sneaks past the inside edge to rap him on the back thigh. It then rolls past Overton at short third and the batters cross over. But Khaleel goes up in appeal for LBW, which is turned down by the umpire. Khaleel convinces Ruturaj Gaikwad to take the review. There is a clear gap between pad and bat, and Ball Tracking shows the ball is projected to go over the leg stump. The on-field decision is upheld.

Another inswinger on a length around off. Yashasvi leans forward and drives it to the right of mid on.

Kartik Sharma from the inner ring runs backwards and dives in the outfield to take the catch, but puts it down. As the ball trickles toward the ropes, Sharma tries to flick it back in with a slide, but he slips and fails to prevent a four.

SIX! Gets more than enough on it! Good length, on top of the stumps. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi pounces on it and heaves it cleanly behind deep mid-wicket for a huge six.
