Welcome back. Archer is ready. As are the batters.

Phil Salt and Kohli are at the crease. Phil Salt is on strike. Jofra Archer will open the attack

Yashasvi Jaiswal: It was good, I was trying to assess the conditions. I was trying to build a partnership so that we can score at least 170. I was trying to give the base to the other batsmen and was trying to get a good start for my team. I was enjoying there. It's a pretty good score for us, the wicket is a little bit two-paced. If we bowl well, it'll be a very good game. (Message to the bowlers) Just enjoy the bowling, enjoy the game and let's play together and just bowl into the stump.

Stat: Since the inception of Impact Player in 2023, 173/4 by Royals is the second lowest first innings total by a team losing four or fewer wickets. The only lower total - 165/4 by LSG against SRH in Hyderabad in 2024 - was chased down inisde ten overs.

17:11 Local Time, 11:41 GMT, 17:11 IST: RR make 173. Is a good score on this pitch. The dismissal of Samson shows that this is not an easy pitch. The ball went under the bat of RR's skipper as he came down the track and Jitesh had to take it low to stump him.

Bhuvneshwar to Hetmyer, 1 run, full and wide outside off, Hetmyer lofts and it's off the toe-end of the bat, straight down the ground and just one

Bhuvneshwar to Dhruv Jurel, 1 run, low full-toss on off, heaved to deep square-leg and Salt is there, keeps it to one

Yash Dayal to Dhruv Jurel, 1 run, no more slower-balls from Yash Dayal, very full outside off, Dhruv Jurel moves across and drills it to long-on. Good comeback after the first two balls
