Mohammed Siraj to Sanju Samson
OUT! CAUGHT! Mohammed Siraj bangs one into the surface and gets the huge wicket of the Rajasthan skipper, Sanju Samson! Samson looks to pull the ball but is rushed by the pace and hits it straight down the throat of Yash Dayal at fine leg who finishes the catch. Is this the start of a comeback for Bangalore or is it too late?

Cameron Green to Jos Buttler
SIX! You bet he will! Jos Buttler gets to his HUNDRED and finishes things off in style here in Jaipur. Cameron Green goes short of a length and around middle, Jos Buttler goes for the pull shot, he toe-ends it a bit but it still flies over the deep mid-wicket fence for a biggie. Jos Buttler is ecstatic and celebrates by taking off his helmet and raising the bat. Shimron Hetmyer shares a hug with him. RAJASTHAN WINS BY 6 WICKETS!
