OUT! Stay on your seats folk as we have a twist in the tale! Sanju Samson gets run out just when Rajasthan's victory looked inevitable. Clearly a wrong call by Samson as Jagadeesha Suchith's direct hit sends him back to the pavilion. Samson run out (J Suchith) 48(25)

Ben Stokes might have gone back but the run rate hasn't come down. Sanju Samson came all guns blazing and continued from where Stokes' left. Credit must also go to Robin Uthappa who's standing at one end.  

30 Oct, 22:01 (IST)

OUT! Ben Stokes' mayhem finally comes to end as Chris Jordan draws the first blood. Just after getting to his fifty, the southpaw miscued another big shot and gave an easy catch to Deepak Hooda at mid off. KXIP are back in the contest!! Stokes c Hooda b Jordan 50(26)

30 Oct, 21:47 (IST)

Sensational start from Rajasthan Royals while chasing a mammoth total. Ben Stokes and Robin Uthappa are looking positive as RR post 32/0 in the first three overs. KXIP desperately need a wicket here. 

30 Oct, 21:17 (IST)

Universe Boss Chris Gayle goes for 99! The southpaw was at his very best throughout the innings but a classic Jofra Archer yorker got the better of him. Nevertheless, his mayhem helped Punjab post a mountain of 185/4 and now, Rajasthan Royals have a job in hand.

Skipper KL Rahul might be gone but the dangerous Nicholas Pooran arrived and didn't take long in making a mark. He smashes Varun Aaron for two sixes in the 15th over as Punjab continue to score runs at a rapid pace. With eight wickets in hand, KXIP are all set for some late flourishies in the end overs.

30 Oct, 20:31 (IST)

Chris Gayle completed his third half-century in Indian Premier League 2020. The partnership between the West Indian and KL Rahul is nearing 100 runs as both have dominated the Rajasthan bowlers until now. However, RR bowlers have done well to keep the scoring rate under control.

30 Oct, 20:05 (IST)

Since that early loss of wicket, Kings XI Punjab have looked in great touch. KL Rahul and Chris Gayle have played contradicting innings to each other with the former scoring at almost run-a-ball while the West Indian has gone after the Rajasthan Bowling. The duo have stitched up yet another 50-run partnership.

30 Oct, 19:37 (IST)

OUT! Big blow for Kings XI Punjab early in the innings! Mandeep Singh became a victim of a vicious Jofra Archer bouncer as he goes back without scoring. Credit also must go to Ben Stokes who took an excellent diving catch after the ball flew of the outside edge. Mandeep c Stokes b Jofra Archer 0(1)
