And the covers are coming off. After a two-minute rain break, things are going back to normal. 

Kuldeep continues the over. OUT!! Wade is cleaned up. Wide outside off, Wade goes for a drive, inside edge straight to the stumps. Rajasthan on top at the moment! Abhinav Manohar at the crease now.

The umpire does not raise his finger thinking there is an inside edge. But replays confirm there is none and Sudharsan is on his way even before the ball tracker comes up. Three reds and the change of bowling works for RR.

Slow bouncer and Samson cuts it over point and gets a double. Wide ball. Gill takes a review again. Ball is too high and it will remain a wide. Another wide! Too far outside off. Single on the fifth ball. Perfect yorker on the last ball and batters can only take a single. Good way to end. 

Samson unbeaten on 68 off 38 balls. 

Mohit for the penultimate over. SIX! Parag pulls it way over the square leg boundary! Terrific timing. A double on the next ball. Already 10 in the first three balls.

Terrific. Parag is out for 76. 

Hetmyer begins the innings with a first ball four straight down the ground. 

Johnson is here. Two singles in two balls. Another on the third ball. FOUR! Perfectly timed his ramp this time and gets a boundary. This time tries to play over short third, doesn’t time his scoop well but balls somehow lands safely between keeper and the fielder.

Parag once again tries to slog, gets a leading edge but lands just a bit too far from the fielder. Slower bouncer, Samson misses it. He asks for a review for the wide, which is not given. It is slightly high and the review is successful. Now Gill takes a review for a wide, far from off stump. It was given by the umpire and it will stay as it is. Gill is not happy with the decision.

SIX! Riyan takes his chance and slog sweeps off Noor, just manages to beat the fielder at deep mid wicket. FOUR OVERTHROWS! Parag gets an outside edge to point and runs a single. The bowler fails to gather the throw, so do the back up fielders and RR gets free runs. 13 runs in the over.

Rashid for his second over. ANOTHER EDGE which Wade cannot gather. Riyan is having trouble against the away spin of Rashid. The bowler cannot believe it. He’s induced edges twice but has nothing to show for it. 

Just three runs off the over.

Noor Ahmed starts with his first over. Riyan whips the second ball through mid wicket for a single. Samson drives to long off and gets one run. Riyan punches through cover off his back foot for two runs. A single off the final delivery for Riyan makes it six off the over.
