WLoud shout for LBW.
Ish Sodhi to Nitish Rana, out Lbw!! Loud shout for LBW. And Rajasthan go upstairs with the review. Drifted across from over the wicket and it spun into the left-hander, surprising him with the turn. Pitching just outside off-stump -- slowmo replays suggest -- and rapping the front leg near the knee-roll. Impact on middle and that's crashing into the top of leg-stump, says ball-tracking. So Nitish Rana will have to go, as RR hold on to their review. Nitish Rana lbw b Ish Sodhi 21(17) [4s-2 6s-1]

8.1
Ish Sodhi to Chris Lynn, 1 run, googly negotiated off the back foot. Turned to mid-wicket for a single
7.46
Gowtham to Nitish Rana, SIX, Gowtham's horror isn't over. Brilliant loft from Nitish Rana, stepping out and timing it over extra cover. Flew into the crowd
7.3
Gowtham to Chris Lynn, 1 run, worked to long-on
7.1
Gowtham to Chris Lynn, 1 run, one-legged clip through mid-wicket. On the stumps from Gowtham. He onviously doesn't have Narine now to unsettle him..
6.5
Ish Sodhi to Nitish Rana, no run, gets an under-edge on the sweep. Didn't read the googly
6.44
Ish Sodhi to Nitish Rana, FOUR, that's past backward point's dive. Got the ball to straighten on off-stump, which makes Nitish Rana's shot a good one. Didn't have much room to work, so uses his cocked wrists and thrusts the ball away
6.3
Ish Sodhi to Chris Lynn, 1 run, a bit quicker. There's spin on the leg break but Chris Lynn is nicely back, buying time for a nudge to long-on
5.6
Stokes to Nitish Rana, 1 run, into the pads, nudged to wide long-on. That's the end of powerplay: 51/2
5.5
Stokes to Nitish Rana, no run, 135ks on a back of a length -- cages Nitish Rana in the crease, forcing him to go further back and block it dead-batted
5.5
Stokes to Nitish Rana, wide, overdoes the ploy to angle it into the pads. Errs down the leg-side and concedes a wide
5.4
Stokes to Chris Lynn, 1 run, strewn off-paced and fullish outside off, and here's Chris Lynn, staying on leg-stump and reaching out to slap that through point
5.2
Stokes to Chris Lynn, 1 run, rocks back and across, punching the ball past Rahane's dive at shortish cover
4.54
Jofra Archer to Nitish Rana, FOUR, past Samson's one-handed effort at backward point. An uppish cut shot that he placed just wide enough of the fielder
4.4
Jofra Archer to Nitish Rana, no run, bit of a push-drive that involved no feet but cover fielder's flown there and stopped it. Gowtham there perhaps. Stokes appreciates it
4.3
Jofra Archer to Nitish Rana, no run, beaten on the back foot now. Back of a length and straightening outside off -- Jofra Archer here is from round the wicket
4.2
Jofra Archer to Nitish Rana, no run, funny how a good pitch brings the lost values back into the game. A short ball is tailgated by a full one. Entices the drive and beats him outside off. Lovely to see. Perhaps some leftover from Malahide
4.1
Jofra Archer to Nitish Rana, no run, bends his back outside off. Got to love this pitch. And I can't be enough tired of saying it. Nitish Rana arches back; KKR need a rebuild
3.64
Stokes to Chris Lynn, FOUR, that's a nice drive through covers. Chris Lynn leaning a bit into it and reminding Stokes that he wasn't the batsman who faced the short ball, so a full ball outside off isn't going to work
