Punjab 26-1 (3 ovs) vs Royals 144-9 | Scorecard
Sandeep Sharma from the other end. Bairstow watchfully defends the first ball before he clips the next off his pads for a single.
Rossouw looks to heave the pacer over the leg side but gets it off the inside half of the bat for two runs through midwicket.
The left-hander hammers the fifth ball powerfully past the fielder in the covers for a boundary and keeps out the last ball.
Boult continues from the other end. Bairstow gets his first boundary as he lofts the pacer over the fielder at mid-on for a four and takes a single next ball.
Boult goes short as Rossouw pulls it through midwicket for a four and uses his feet to swing the next ball over the leg side for another boundary but is beaten last ball trying to cut.
13 runs from the over as Punjab bounce back after an early wicket.
