Archer to bowl his final over. The siren blows and that means Archer has overstepped. Padikkal on strike for the free-hit. On the pads, Padikkal chips it over the in-field to get a FOUR! 
Deshpande replaces Theekshana. Starts off with a half tracker and that’s put away for a FOUR! by Padikkal. Short delivery, Padikkal pulls it for a SIX! He’s in a hurry to chase the target down. A CHANCE GOES BEGGING! Theekshana is the culprit as he drops a relatively easy catch of Padikkal.

RR 50/1 in 7 overs
Hazlewood with the final over of the PowerPlay. Mishit from Sanju. It is high but it just clears the infield. Scratchy start for Sanju today. Couple of singles follow. Sanju finally breaks the shackles with a pull-slog which clears mid on. FOUR!!
Sedate start so far from the RR openers. Yash Dayal gets a change of ends. Floats one up the track and Jaiswal picks it on the half volley. Away it goes for a six. Back of a length now and Jaiswal applies the deft touch to guide it between point and third man for a four. 
Josh Hazelwood with his first over. Jaiswal attempts a cut shot. Not in complete control, but it flies past short third for a four. Jaiswal goes for a cut again. Just a single this time though. Sanju Samson struggling to get going here. 
Back of a length from Bhuvi. Sanju slashes it for a single. Bhuvi pushes it full and Jaiswal crunches a straight drive. FOUR!! Patidar pushes mid off back now. Jaiswal nudges one there for a single. 
Yash Dayal with the second over. Krunal Pandya makes a couple of good stops at short cover. Wide from Dayal. Sanju edges it, but it is short of third man. Two runs taken there. Full from Dayal for the last ball. Jaiswal slogs it over mid wicket for a four. 
Jaiswal and Sanju opening for the Royals. Bhuvneshwar with the first over. The home team opens the account with a leg bye. Sanju gets going with a nudge to off side. Great control from Bhuvi.

Actually we also wanted to bowl first. Normally it gets better to bat is the local information here.

Hasaranga will be replacing our Farooqi
We will bowl first. Surface looks pretty hard and good. We will know how the pitch behaves. This is to raise awareness to plant more trees. Same team for us.
