They lose another wicket as Buttler survives a run out chance. Robin Uthappa taps it to point and calls Buttler across for a quick single, who is struggling and is lucky that the fielder misses the direct hit.

Uthappa closes the face of the bat early trying to flick as the leading edge falls just short of the fielder at point before Cummins bowls a pacy bouncer which beats Uthappa and wicketkeeper Karthik does well to collect it leaping high.

Cummins has taken 1-13 in three overs as Rajasthan are reduced to 39-2 in six overs.
