Kings XI 185-4 (20 Ovs) vs RR 146-3 (15 Ovs)

Ashwin continues, Smith and Samson take three singles. Samson slams the ball over deep midwicket, the bigger boundary for six runs! Boundary to end the over. That will bring the run-rate down. After 13 overs Royals are 132-2. They need 54 from 42 balls. Smith is on 10 (8) and Samson is on 40 (21). 

Jordan is back, Smith is beaten. He then pulls to long-on for a single. Sanju powers the ball to the ropes for four runs. Sanju hits it in the air, brilliant fielding from Arshdeep at third man. Saved two runs. Samson flicks the ball to third man for a single. Jordan misses the yorker, Smith hammers a boundary. 

After 14 overs Royals are 144-2. They need 42 from 36 balls. 

Bishnoi comes to bowl his last over, Samson sends the ball to long-on for a single. 

Smith tries to steal a single, Sanju didn't look ready, he dives but is short courtesy the direct hit from substitute Suchith. He walks back scoring 48 off 25 balls. 

 Jos Buttler is the new batsman. Buttler is beaten, big shout for LBW. Umpire not interested, Kings XI go for review. Replays show the ball pitching outside leg and original decision retained. Buttler survives. He takes a single off the next ball. Dot ball to end the over. Just two came off that over and a wicket. 

After 15 overs, Royals are 146-3. They need 40 from 30 balls. They were doing well in the run chase but lost Sanju's wicket.
