That's It! After Suryansh Shedge was dismissed, the game was more or less done but the dismissal of Marco Jansen sealed it. Shashank Singh remained unbeaten on one end with Lockie Ferguson on the other end. First loss for Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals are back in the fray after a very poor start to the season. Jofra Archer has been sensational and kind of nailed the game in the first over. PBKS have to introspect where they went wrong and RR will be happy to get another win.

Out! Two wickets in two balls and the game turns on its head. First Glenn Maxwell foes for a big shot over long off but fails to clear it off Maheesh Theekshana.

Fifty! Nehal Wadhera is playing a brilliant knock here. Got dropped early on and since then absolutely dominated spin along the way. Takes on Wanindu Hasaranga and deposits into the stand and at the same time completes his half-century. 

05 Apr, 22:22 (IST)

Nehal Wadhera and Glenn Maxwell have looked positive in the crease so far. Both batters are rotating the strike and are picking up the odd boundary. Rajasthan bowlers need to grip their lengths, otherwise, Maxwell and Wadhera are known for their aggressive gameplay.

05 Apr, 22:12 (IST)

After losing the first four wickets inside the first 10 overs, Punjab Kings are banking on Glenn Maxwell and Nehal Wadhera. The duo are known for their aggressive gameplay. The host will want them to stick around in the middle and build a strong partnership. So that they can get close to chasing the 206-run target.

Rajasthan Royals are on top after taking three huge wickets of the Punjab Kings. Jofra Archer's double-wicket over provided a good start, whereas Sandeep Sharma also joined the party, which has helped them to grip the match more. The host needs to rebuild their innings.

05 Apr, 21:48 (IST)

Out! A superb catch by Sandeep Sharma on his follow-through as Marcus Stoinis departs after scoring one run. It was a good length delivery, and Stoinis punched it straight back towards the bowler. PBKS are in a spot of bother. Marcus Stoinis c and b Sandeep Sharma 1(7)

05 Apr, 21:35 (IST)

Out! What a dramatic over from Jofra Archer. First ball, he gets it to seam off the deck a touch to clean up Priyansh Arya. Then Shreyas Iyer strikes him clean for two boundaries. Then Archer pushed him back with a bouncer and next ball Shreyas Iyer tries to make room to go over the offside and Archer rattles his stumps again. Shreyas Iyer b Jofra Archer 10(5).

05 Apr, 21:13 (IST)

Good last over for RR and they have breached 200 for the first time at this venue. Shreyas Iyer gave the last over to Marcus Stonis and both Riyan Parag and Dhruv Jurel has managed to get some boundaries taking the total to a competitive place. Shimron Hetmyer was dismissed in the last over but RR didn't bog down and now they have an option to bring in a bowler as the impact sub.
