Buttler finishes in style, Royals win by six wickets
Jos Buttler has finished in style with a six and he gets to his hundred as well as he needed to get to win with six and he has hit the six off Cameron Green. Fourth win in a row for Royals and they get to the top of the points table now.
11:07 PM
Heading into the 20th over now
Over Summary: 0 0 1 4 Wd 1 1; RR Score 183-4 after 19 overs
Jos Buttler (94), Shimron Hetmyer (11); Mohammed Siraj 4-0-35-1
We are headed into the 20th over here with only eight runs in it. Buttler will be on strike and he would need six to get to his hundred.
11:04 PM
9 runs needed to win now
Over Summary: 1 0 1 2 0 1; RR Score 175-4 after 18 overs
Jos Buttler (92), Shimron Hetmyer (6); Cameron Green 3-0-21-0
Only nine runs are needed to win this match and Buttler needs only eight to get to his hundred. Will he get it?
10:55 PM
Unlucky Jurel
Over Summary: 1 3 W 1 1 4; RR Score 170-4 after 17 overs
Jos Buttler (88), Shimron Hetmyer (5); Reece Topley 4-0-27-2
If it was Parag in the last game, it is Dhruv Jurel in this one as he has been caught behind on a ball where he should have had a four. Hetmyer hits a four.
10:53 PM
Parag departs cheaply
Over Summary: 2 1 0 W 1 4; RR Score 160-3 after 16 overs
Jos Buttler (84), Dhruv Jurel (1); Yash Dayal 4-0-37-1
Riyan Parag has already wasted an opportunity to try and get a good amount of runs here as he has hit one straight into the hands of Virat Kohli at mid-on. Dayal has a wicket to his name.
10:42 PM
Samson disappears
Over Summary: 1 1 1 W 0 4; RR Score 152-2 after 15 overs
Jos Buttler (77), Riyan Parag (4); Mohammed Siraj 3-0-27-1
Samsonm did what Samson does, throw away his wickets in key moments. Maybe he is unlucky as even an ounce more of power would have given him six more runs.
10:37 PM
Rajasthan Royals need 41 in 36 balls to win
Over Summary: 1 1 1 Wd 0 4 1; RR Score 145-1 after 14 overs
Jos Buttler (75), Sanju Samson (68); Reece Topley 3-0-17-1
Reece Topley is the last throw of the dice maybe by Faf as he throws the ball to Topley, but he too is unable to break the partnership. The interest now shifts towards which among these two batters will get to a hundred here as only 41 runs are needed.
10:30 PM
Yash Dayal into the attack
Over Summary: 1 1 2 2 0 6; RR Score 136-1 after 13 overs
Jos Buttler (69), Sanju Samson (66); Yash Dayal 3-0-29-0
Faf is now throwing all the dice he has in his possession to try and dislodge this partnership between Buttler and Samson.
10:28 PM
Sanju-Buttler taking the game away
Over Summary: 6 1 4 2 1 1; RR Score 124-1 after 12 overs
Jos Buttler (58), Sanju Samson (65); Himanshu Sharma 2-0-29-0
Buttler and Samson are taking the game away from the hands of RCB as they have smashed Himanshu Sharma for 15 runs in this over.
10:26 PM
100 up for Rajasthan, fifty for Sanju
Over Summary:0 0 4 0 6 4; RR Score 109-1 after 11 overs
Jos Buttler (50), Sanju Samson (58); Mayank Dagar 2-0-34-0
If it was Buttler in the last over, it is Samson in this over as both the Royals now have crossed the fifty-run mark.
