Praful Hinge to Shimron Hetmyer, out Caught by Nitish Reddy!! Hetmyer will be kicking himself. This was there to be dispatched into the stands and he's picked out the fielder. He knows and puts his hand up in disappointment. Full toss at a nice height, Hetmyer swings across the line and finds Reddy near deep mid-wicket. He barely had to move to take the catch. But it was the longest side of the ground and hence Hetmyer could not clear it. Shimron Hetmyer c Nitish Reddy b Praful Hinge 11(10) [4s-1]

Eshan Malinga to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR, boundary to end the over. But just 5 runs. For once Malinga misses his yorker, dishes out a full toss and Jadeja takes advantage, swings it to the leg-side and beats long-on to the left

Eshan Malinga to Donovan Ferreira, out Caught by Heinrich Klaasen!! This is turning into such a good over. Just one run so far and now gets the wicket of Ferreira. This was a low full toss, Ferreira moves away and does not quite get the elevation on the big shot, struck it flat and straight down long-on's throat. Klaasen makes no mistake. A handy little cameo from Ferreira comes to an end. Donovan Ferreira c Heinrich Klaasen b Eshan Malinga 33(16) [4s-3 6s-3]

Eshan Malinga to Shimron Hetmyer, no run, SRH lose the review. Hetmyer steps down and backs away, Malinga follows him and cramps him for room, the flick is missed and the ball brushes the pad on the way to Ishan behind the stumps Definite noise but it was clearly off the pad

Sakib Hussain to Donovan Ferreira, SIX, thumped! Sakib goes pace off, and Ferreira is waiting for that, he delays his bat swing and connects cleanly with the loft. The fielder at long-on could only watch the ball sail over him

Pat Cummins to Riyan Parag, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! That's a corker from Cummins. Not much Parag could have done about that. He's run of low scores stretches to another game. This is a pinpoint yorker, aimed for the base of off-stump, Parag does not get his bat down in time, the ball sneaks through and crashes into the stumps. Sunrisers Hyderabad are pulling things back. Can they restrict RR to below 230? Riyan Parag b Pat Cummins 7(9)

Sakib Hussain to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, out Lbw!! Sooryavanshi walks off to a standing ovation. First game for Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur this season and he's given the home crowd pure entertainment. This is the slower ball from Sakib, Sooryavanshi attempts the fancy reverse lap, a shot he has still not mastered, he's deceived for pace and fails to connect with the shot, struck on the back pad and was right in front of the stumps. The only question was where the ball had pitched and it was just within the stumps as per ball-tracking. Sakib went for a few but has removed his Bihar team mate. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi lbw b Sakib Hussain 103(37) [4s-5 6s-12]

Sakib Hussain to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, SIX, hundred for Sooryavanshi. Second IPL ton and he's got it off just 36 balls. He removes his helmet, takes his gloves off and keeps everything down. Then does the heart symbol followed by a salute towards the dugout. This has been a magnificent innings.

Nitish Reddy to Dhruv Jurel, out Caught by Aniket Verma!! The partnership is broken. Reddy has the last says after going for a couple of fours in this over. This might not be such a bad thing for the Rajasthan Royals, Jurel had done his job of laying the platform and it is now upto the big-hitters. Reddy hits the pitch hard and extracts some extra bounce, Jurel looks to cross-bat it into the leg-side and is hit on the splice. The ball goes straight up and Aniket comes in from cover to take a simple catch. A fine knock comes to an end. Dhruv Jurel c Aniket Verma b Nitish Reddy 51(35) [4s-8 6s-1]

Praful Hinge to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, FOUR, smashed! Slower ball outside off, it was overpitched and Sooryavanshi does not a second invitation, he delays his bat swing and drills it wide of long-off. There was a fielder in the deep but he didn't bother

Sakib Hussain to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, SIX, whoa! That's an incredible shot.

Sakib Hussain to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, SIX, fifty for Sooryavanshi. Another 15-ball half century for him. He's had couple of that. Today he has been at his mencacing best. He was dropped in the previous over and he's already making Sunrisers Hyderabad pay. Back of a length delivery, but Sooryavanshi maintains such a solid base on leg-stump that he has the room to open his arms, flat-bats this towards cow corner and clears the rope with ease

Sakib Hussain to Dhruv Jurel, FOUR, that's a gift and Jurel accepts it happily. Full toss around off, he does not try to overhit the drive, presents the full face of the bat and caresses it past the mid-on fielder

Eshan Malinga to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, SIX, just over the fielder. Short of length delivery, and Sooryavanshi goes for the pull, he gets more of a top-edge and the ball steadies at deep backward square. But is not able to throw the ball back into play

Eshan Malinga to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, FOUR, dropped! Aniket has put down Sooryavanshi. How costly is that going to be? Back of a length delivery, angled across and Sooryavanshi heaves it towards deep mid-wicket. Aniket runs to his right, gets there and goes with both hands. The ball pops up and goes to ground. What's worse? While he's picking up the ball his shoe touches the ad cushions, costing two extra runs. He has been removed immediately from that position

Pat Cummins to Dhruv Jurel, FOUR, short and outside off, width on offer and Jurel does not miss out, he does not go hard on the cut, allows the ball to come and almost guides it past the backward point fielder

Eshan Malinga to Yashasvi Jaiswal, out Caught by Heinrich Klaasen!! Malinga strikes! He's pumped. Much needed breakthrough for Sunrisers Hyderabad. This is a good length delivery, which Jaiswal tries to loft through the line, gets it high on the bat and miscues it towards mid-on. Klaasen backtracks a few steps and reverse cups it safely. They needed this wicket to arrest some of the momentum Rajasthan Royals had got in the first two overs. Replays show that Jaiswal tried to flat-bat that shot, fetched it from outside off and miscued it completely. Yashasvi Jaiswal c Heinrich Klaasen b Eshan Malinga 10(8) [4s-2]

Eshan Malinga to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR, short of length around leg, Jaiswal swivels to play the pull and is rushed on the shot, gloves it through short fine and there's no fielder in the deep to stop that

Pat Cummins to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, SIX, that's now five sixes in a row. Sooryavanshi is on fire. Cummins goes short and angles it across, the fearless Sooryavanshi takes it on and pulls it in front of square. There's a deep mid-wicket in place but he can only watch it sail over him

Pat Cummins to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR, now Jaiswal joins in. He welcomes Cummins to the IPL with a boundary. Fullish delivery, slanted across the left-hander, Jaiswal leans across and creams the drive through cover. It is a packed off-side field and still he managed to pierce the packed circle

Praful Hinge to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, SIX, 6, 6, 6, 6! Hinge got him for a duck the previous time and today he has smached him for four consecutive sixes in the first over. Another good length ball, Sooryavanshi lofts through the line but once again not off the middle, but such is his power that the ball clears the long-on rope

Praful Hinge to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, SIX, hat-trick of sixes. Sooryavanshi seems to be in revenge mode. Good length ball angled across, Sooryavanshi holds a firm base, stays leg-side and lofts it through the line. The ball sails over the long-off fence..

Praful Hinge to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, SIX, back to back sixes. This was not off the middle. But enough to clear the rope. Again short of length, around leg and Sooryavanshi helps it along towards long leg. Plenty of height and the ball lands jusy beyond the rope

Praful Hinge to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, SIX, that's into the final tier. Sooryavanshi is off the mark in style. Short of length delivery, at the body, not much wrong with the ball, but such is Sooryavanshi's aura, he gets into an excellent position and nails the pull over deep square leg. That ball was close to going out of the ground
