Brave bowling from Vaibhav Arora as he comes from around the stumps but bowls it full again and gets it right on the money. This one swings away from off stump and Yashasvi Jaiswal is on the back foot looking to whack it over covers. Just that hint of away movement means the outside edge is found and Venkatesh Iyer at first slip takes a sharp catch. Another short stay at the crease for Jaiswa |
| 2.2 : 2.2: Mitchell Starc to Jos Buttler, FOUR! Crashed away and Jos Buttler has the number of Mitchell Starc in this format as he generally strikes at over 175 against the left-armer.

| 2.4 : 2.4: Mitchell Starc to Jos Buttler, FOUR! Too much width on offer and Jos Buttler says thank you very much. Lacking control here as Mitchell Starc serves it way too short and way too wide, Buttler reaches out and slaps it in front of square on the off side for another boundary. |

Sunil Narine tracks back and takes it reverse cup and that earlier dropped catch doesn't cost Kolkata much. |
| 4.5 : 4.5: Harshit Rana to Riyan Parag, FOUR! A streaky boundary and that could have easily gone onto the stumps.

| 5.1 : 5.1: Vaibhav Arora to Riyan Parag, FOUR! Much better from Riyan Parag. Vaibhav darts this onto his pads and Riyan just glances this all along the carpet through square leg for four. |
| 5.3 : 5.3: Vaibhav Arora to Jos Buttler, SIX! HAMMERED! A loosener from Vaibhav Arora does no good to him and Kolkata as he throws a full toss in the middle towards Jos who just clears his front leg and launches this over the fielder at long on for a maximum. |

| 5.6 : 5.6: Vaibhav Arora to Riyan Parag, FOUR! A boundary to end the over and the powerplay. Pitched full and wide of off, Riyan Parag shifted his body weight nicely as he leaned over and drives this through the gap between mid off and extra-cover for four. |
| 7.1 : 7.1: Harshit Rana to Riyan Parag, Six! |
| 7.2 : 7.2: Harshit Rana to Riyan Parag, FOUR! Wristy! Back of a length wide of off, Riyan Parag stretches his arms and cuts this over the backward point fielder for four. |
| 7.5 : 7.5: Harshit Rana to Riyan Parag, OUT! TAKEN IN THE DEEP! Excellent bit of bowling from Rana. Rolled his fingers on this and Riyan was too early into his stroke. Slower one around off, Riyan Parag looked to rip the bones out of it but ended up skiing this high in the dark sky towards deep mid-wicket region. Andre Russell does well to run in from the fence and take a good catch as the ball was swirling above the big guy. |
| 8.4 : 8.4: Sunil Narine to Dhruv Jurel, OUT! LBW! Narine can do no wrong today. Tossed up a bit quicker this time, Dhruv Jurel takes a good stride out to block this but misses. Sunil Narine and Phil Salt appeal for an LBW but the umpire is unmoved. Shreyas Iyer after a consultation with Narine asks for a DRS. The ball tracker suggested all reds and the onfield umpire is asked to reverse his decision of Not-out to OUT. An excellent review from Iyer and Kolkata. |
| 9.1 : 9.1: Mitchell Starc to Jos Buttler, FOUR! Jos is winning the battle against Starc tonight so far. Pitched up on off, Jos Buttler lofts this up and over the mid off fielder for a boundary. |

| 12.2 : 12.2: Varun Chakaravarthy to Shimron Hetmyer, OUT! CAUGHT! Oh, dear! Look away Rajasthan fans, look away now and Varun Chakaravarthy has two in two. |
| 14.2: Varun Chakaravarthy to Jos Buttler, Four! |
| 14.3 : 14.3: Varun Chakaravarthy to Jos Buttler, FOUR! Finally, Jos Buttler nails that shot and brings up his FIFTY as well. Short and outside off, Buttler with more of a reverse-slap than reverse-sweep and he hammers it past backward point for four more. Buttler needs to keep going here. |
| 14.4 : 14.4: Varun Chakaravarthy to Jos Buttler, FOUR! Too full and angling down leg, Jos Buttler stays back and just whips it away into the fine leg fence for yet another boundary. |
| 14.6 : 14.6: Varun Chakaravarthy to Jos Buttler, FOUR! Fortuitous again but much-needed as well for Jos Buttler and Rajasthan. Flatter one, bowled a tad short around off, Buttler looks to pull off the back foot but gets an outside edge that goes well fine of short third and into the fence. |

| 17.1 : 17.1: Mitchell Starc to Jos Buttler, SIX! You just never know with Jos in the middle. PItched up on off, Jos Buttler clears his front leg and launches this dead straight up and over the bowler for a maximum. There is still a lot of life left in this contest. |
