Finally, the first breakthrough came in for RR, as pacer Chetan Sakariya got rid of Rahul for 29 after the latter edged it to Kartik Tyagi in the slips. But, is it too late for RR, with Agarwal scoring his tenth IPL half-century?

Arshdeep claims fifer, PBKS needs 186 to win

The tail-end of RR could hardly do much, and it was all about the PBKS bowlers, as RR was shot out for 185. Arshdeep finished with a five-for, while the PBKS batsmen will have a tough task at chasing this hefty total down.

RR: 185 (20). Batting: Mustafizur Rahman 0 (0).

8:53 PM IST

Jaiswal falls for 49, Lomror joins the party

Jaiswal fell a runs short of his maiden IPL half-century as spinner Harpreet Brar made him caught by Mayank at short mid-off. However, it hardly made a difference, as Lomror joined the part, smashing pacer Deepak Hooda for 24 runs in the 16th over.

Jaiswal c Mayank b Brar 49 (36). RR: 164/4 (16). Batting: Mahipal Lomror 42 (15), Riyan Parag 2 (2).

Meanwhile, here's how Lomror had been doing in the practice games for RR.

8:33 PM IST

Arshdeep strikes again!

PBKS got the third breakthrough, as Liam Livingstone departed for 25to pacer Arshdeep again after being caught brilliantly at deep mid-wicket by Fabien Allen. However, Jaiswal looks to be in no mood to slow down, as his trend continues.

Livingstone c Allen b Arshdeep 25 (17). RR: 116/3 (12). Batting: Yashasvi Jaiswal 45 (28), Mahipal Lomror 0 (1).

8:17 PM IST

Sanju Samson falls for cheap

Skipper Sanju Samson could not contribute much, as pacer Ishan Porel got rid of him with a non-wicket-taking delivery. A rising delivery attempted the former to play it over the slips but knocked it to wicketkeeper Rahul. Meanwhile, Jaswal continues his onslaught.

Samson c Rahul b Ishan Porel 4 (5). RR: 86/2 (9). Batting: Yashasvi Jaiswal 34 (22), Liam Livingstone 7 (6).

7:57 PM IST

Arshdeep Singh provides first breakthrough

The first breakthrough came in the sixth over as pacer Arshdeep Singh got rid of Lewis for 36 after being caught by Mayank Agarwal at extra cover. However, Jaiswal seems to be in a deadly form.

Lewis c Mayank b Arshdeep Singh 36 (21). RR: 57/1 (6). Batting: Yashasvi Jaiswal 16 (12), Sanju Samson 3 (3).

7:45 PM IST

Toss report and playing XI

Toss: Punjab Kings elects to bowl.

KL Rahul: We'll bowl first. It's a no brainer, a clean wicket with grass on. We do not know how it's going to play, and I pick chasing. I told some players inside the dressing room that it felt like the day had gone by, and we played IPL 2020. We have plenty that we have got learnt from the remaining year. We are all specialists, and we've got attempted difficulty withinside the warmth to pick ourselves. Pooran, Markram, Rashid and Allen are our overseas players. Unfortunately, Chris Gayle misses out, and Aiden has been correctly shaping getting into our setup from Sri Lanka.

Sanju Samson: We are accurate at chasing and putting totals, so we had been satisfied to do both. We have first-rate expertise and characters in our team. It is a totally advantageous atmosphere. Sangakkara brings withinside the experience. He is aware of what to talk about at what point. He desired us to relax. Lewis, Livingstone, Morris and Mustafizur are our foreigners.
