Nathan Ellis to Riyan Parag
OUT! CAUGHT! Nathan Ellis with the golden arm and he picks up his third wicket now. Bowls a cross-seamer now, on a length and around the fith stump line. Riyan Parag looks to loft it straight down the ground but ends up miscuing it really high. The ball comes down around the long off region where Shahrukh Khan settles under it and takes the catch. Rajasthan lose their fifth wicket and now 77 runs are needed off 35 balls.

Nathan Ellis to Devdutt Padikkal
OUT! TIMBER! Nathan Ellis is ripping through the Rajasthan batting order. Another cross-seamer from Ellis and it is bowled on a good length around middle and leg. It is a heavy ball and the ball just skids on off the deck as well. Devdutt Padikkal hangs back and looks to swing across the line but is beaten for pace and the ball castles into the stumps. A sluggish inning from Padikkal comes to an end and Ellis gets his fourth wicket.
