Donovan Ferreira to Abhishek Sharma, out Caught by Jofra Archer!! Taken at long-off. Some respite for RR. It's following Abhishek Sharma outside the leg-stump, as he comes down the track, no room to loft, still it flies in the air, off the bottom of the bat and Archer takes it just inside the cushions. He did well to adjust his feet and ensure he was not touching it. A stare from Donovan Ferreira follows. RR badly needed that wicket.
