Rajasthan Royals now need 51 off last three overs. Sanju Samson's fine knock came to an end as Mohammed Shami had hm caught behind. Meanwhile, Robin Uthappa is the new batsman in.
Rahul Tewatia's promotion up the order has failed miserably for Rajasthan Royals. He has consumed 21 balls and just scored 14 runs. Moreover, he has put Sanju Samson under extra pressure.
That's second back to back half-century for Sanju Samson. What a knock this is turning out to be. Can he guide Royals to victory tonight? Meanwhile, RR need 106 more runs to win off 48 balls. The required run-rate for Royals is 13.25.
Despite losing a wicket early, Rajasthan Royals are very much in the game. The partnership between Steve Smith and Sanju Samson is worth 50 off just 22 balls. Meanwhile, that's the end of the Powerplay overs.
OUT! Early breakthrough for Kings XI Punjab and it is that man Sheldon Cottrell again. He gets rod of Jos Buttler early on. Good catch by Sarfaraz Khan at short mid-wicket. J Buttler c Sarfaraz Khan b Cottrell 4(7)
Rajasthan Royals have started on a positive note, thanks to Steve Smith. With required run-rate high, they need to keep the attack going. Three fours for Smith so far.
What a show by KXIP batsmen! They end up with 223 runs on board. Mayank Agarwal and KL Rahul dominated for most of the innings and then Nicholas Pooran finished off in style. 25 off just eight balls for him. Agarwal scored his maiden century in IPLas he finished with 106 off 50 balls. Rahul chipped in with 69 off 54 balls.
Mayhem with the bat this! Steve Smith might be regretting his decision to bowl first. Meanwhile, KL Rahul has completed his half-century as well. No respite for Royals' bowlers, Kings XI Punjab look set to go past the 200-run mark. Meanwhile, this is highest opening partnership for KXIP in IPL. Agarwal and Rahul now go past Adam Gilchrist and Paul Valthaty's 136 against Deccan Chargers in 2011.
Excellent batting this by Mayank Agarwal and KL Rahul. Agarwal is batting on 69 off 33 balls while Rahul is on 36 off 28 balls. Kings XI Punjab have a good chance of doubling the score from here.
End of Powerplay overs and Kings XI Punjab continue to dominate. Both Mayank Agarwal and KL Rahul have scored quickly so far. Rajasthan Royals need a wicket, otherwise these two will keep scoring fast.
Good start this for Kings XI Punjab. it is Mayank Agarwal who looks has been aggressive of the two openers and has already smashed a four and two sixes. KL Rahul has been silent as of now.
