Jaiswal and Samson are at the crease. Jaiswal is on strike. Mitchell Starc will open the attack
Welcome back. Two super-soppers and two (just?) soppers in action, going across the length and breadth of the playing field. Archer was cleaning up the ball after nearly every delivery in the final over Before throwing it back to Sandeep to bowl. So, will dew play a part?

Abishek Porel | Translated from Hindi: The ball is stopping and it is a good total. We wanted to have a positive intent, from the 3rd over the ball was coming on slower, so the plan was to go hard in the powerplay which would make it easier later on. If you bowl slower, it is helpful on this wicket and hopefully our bowlers do well. As of now there is no dew, the wicket is sticky. Axar's innings shifted the momentum and Stubbs finished well. A very good total on this wicket.

21:15 Local Time, 15:45 GMT, 21:15 IST: DC scored 77 in the last 5 overs. That has given them tremendous impetus. The wicket is on the slower side and the chase won't be an easy one for RR. JFM got a couple of fours but then threw it away.

Raj: Chinnaswamy and Arun Jaitely stadium have shorter boundaries and feel like big scoring wickets, but this time the curators have done something to balance the game. Teams batting first here (especially the hosts) are trying to get 200+ and end up at 170.
