    0.3 hot knife through butter, and off stump has been flattened! Back of a length on off. Seems to pitch and nip back in just a shade. de Kock tries to defend but his bat comes down at an angle. He is late on the stroke too and the ball breezes past the willow before leaving off stump in a mess. Another first-over wicket for Boult! 8/1
    17.2 holes out to deep backward point! Short, wide and asking Rahul to hit to the bigger side. He throws the kitchen sink at it but never seemed to get the power to clear that massive boundary. Slices it towards Boult on the deep backward point fence, and the Kiwi makes no mistake. Rahul is gutted with the way he has gotten out. RR, meanwhile, will be chuffed with how they have been chipping away! 173/5
    1.6 middle stump has been flattened now! RR all over LSG in the powerplay! Full ball that starts on off and swerves back in. Stoinis, without really getting to the pitch of the ball, tries to drive it. Leaves a gap between bat and pad, and the ball zips through. Stoinis might have gotten an inside edge but it does not matter in the grander scheme of things. LSG two down, and under the pump! 11/2
    12.1 Ashwin gets Hooda! Carrom ball on a length on middle and leg. Hooda advances, trying to smash it over long on. Does not quite get to the pitch, though, and has to reach out in front. Chalks it off the toe-end and Powell circles under it at long on to complete the catch. Vital wicket for the Royals, but take nothing away from the excellent hand Hooda has played here! 126/3
    15.1 Sandeep outfoxes Pooran! Dug into the track on middle and leg. Pooran tries to swipe this over deep backward square leg but the ball gets big on him. Cannot control his stroke and the ball skews off the top edge towards Boult, who keeps his eyes on the ball and takes the catch well inside the fence. Pooran is disappointed, but this is just what RR would have wanted after the time-out! 150/4

    6.1 Jaiswal bites the dust now! LSG go bang-bang! Back of a length delivery angled across the batter outside off. Jaiswal winds up and has a huge swish at it. Slices across it too much, though, and finds the sweeper on the deep cover fence. Stoinis is delighted; Jaiswal, not quite! 60/2
    5.5 Yash Thakur has the last laugh! Zips in a low full toss on leg stump. Buttler, having walked across his stumps, almost cuts himself off by how far he has moved. Cannot lay bat on ball, and hears the death rattle soon after. Sees the image of his leg stump flattened too, and he is absolutely livid with himself. Thakur will not mind one bit, though, and he has given LSG the breakthrough they were after! 60/1

    8.4 Mishra gets rid of Parag, and he points to the back of his shirt in celebration! What theatre! Dangles the carrot outside off and Parag bites. He thinks he can go inside out but this is a slider that seems to just hurry onto him a touch. Slices it and Badoni makes no mistake at deep cover. Mishra is elated, and LSG are now right back in this! 78/3
