    12.3 off stump thumped, and Rabada has the last laugh! On a length and zoning into off stump. Jaiswal backs away, with designs to go inside-out. Comfortably late on the stroke, though, and the ball whistles past the bat before leaving off stump in a mess. Another tone-setting knock by Jaiswal comes to an end! 126/2
    6.2 miscued and Sooryavanshi is outta here! Rashid with the breakthrough! Back of a length on middle and leg, and this seems to just stick in the surface. Sooryavanshi has a slog at it but does not get it well enough. Picks out Phillips to perfection at deep mid wicket, and the Kiwi was not dropping that - not in a million years. GT with a vital, vital wicket! 70/1
    19.3 banged in much shorter outside off, and Jurel nicks it through! Looks for the same stroke, trying to upper-cut it over the bowler. This, though, has just enough kick on it to make the shot untenable. A bit of a variation too and that lack of pace means Jurel only finds Buttler with his effort. A brilliant knock but someone else will need to take RR close to 210 now! 205/6
    13.2 catching practice this time, and RR losing their way a little now! Seems like a change-up, on a length outside off. Parag does not quite pick it, and the ball stops in the surface too, further compounding the RR skipper's woes. Plonks it towards backward point, where Kushagra does just enough to cling on. Parag disappointed; GT have a foothold! 135/3
    15.3 flat and straight to Siraj at long on! Ashok with another timely wicket! Full outside off and Hetmyer's eyes light up. He clears his front leg and swings hard at it. Gets a good chunk of it but not enough elevation. Siraj shimmies to his left and gobbles up the chance smartly to his left. GT keep chipping away! 165/4
    16.1 skewed up, and Rabada gets his fellow South African! Dug in short outside off and this seems to get a tad big on the batter. Ferreira swipes at it because, well, why not, but gets it all wrong. Simple enough catch for Phillips at deep mid wicket, and RR are now five down! 166/5

    10.4 shanked and taken! Big, big moment in the game! Not the best ball Bishnoi will ever bowl but he will take it. Of course he will. A bit of a drag-down on middle and leg. Sudharsan shapes up for the mighty swipe over deep mid wicket but skews it straight down Deshpande's throat at deep backward square leg instead. Just the opening RR were craving! 107/2
    7.6 and Parag's event-filled over ends with a wicket! Lobbed up on a length on off. Kushagra gets down on one knee and swings at it with all his might. Gets more height than distance and Hetmyer, stood right on the fence, seems to take it before doing the juggling act and completing the catch. Third umpire pressed into action to see if all is good, and that is indeed the case. GT's opening partnership broken! 78/1
    13.1 top-edged to fine leg, and Buttler bites the dust too! The Titans are crumbling now! Banged in short outside off and this hurries onto Buttler. Gets big on him too, especially from around the wicket and Buttler cannot control his pull. Tame top edge to Sandeep, and he does the rest at fine leg. RR in control now! 133/5
    12.1 goneski, and Bishnoi is weaving his magic in Ahmedabad! Googly on a back of a length on off. Phillips wants to muscle this downtown but the inward angle means he cannot fully free his arms. Chips it towards long on and Archer hurtles in off the line, lunging forward to send Phillips on his way. GT pegged back yet again! 127/3
    12.3 four and out, and GT are throwing this away! This is full and on the pads. There to be hit, but perhaps along the ground. Sundar tries to get under it but the lack of room means he does not do so adequately. Plinked straight to deep mid wicket, and this GT chase is wobbling now! 131/4
    14.3 Bishnoi has the final word, and he is ripping through this Titans batting unit! Googly on a back of a length outside off. Tewatia tries to carve it behind point but the over-spin on this delivery means the ball kisses the top edge before nestling into Jurel's gloves. Sharp take, it must be said, and this is another body blow to GT's hopes! 155/6
    14.5 oh dear lord - what are the Titans doing?! This is an implosion and then some! Hung up full and wide. Rashid cracks it past extra cover. The two is on but Shahrukh thinks the third might be as well. Not the wisest of calls ot take on Jadeja, though. Not this season. Not in any season. Shahrukh has to scramble to the batter's end and is still well short. Jadeja with a moment of customary fielding magic, and GT are reeling now! 161/7
    19.5 sliced out to the fence, and Archer snares the chance! Deshpande is having the night of his life under the Ahmedabad lights! On a length and hung up wide outside off. Rashid throws the plumbing at it but he slices it way too much. Off the outer half and Archer, prowling on the deep point fence, rattles to his right to gobble it up. Parag is pumped. Deshpande is pumped. GT on the ropes one final time perhaps! 204/8
