Moeen Ali to Yashasvi Jaiswal, OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust, and the Rajasthan Royals are in serious trouble as their top order is gone back in the hut!

Riyan Parag to Moeen Ali, OUT! RUN OUT! A wicket against the run of play, but Rajasthan Royals will not mind at all! Riyan Parag floats it up, short and around off, and Moeen Ali punches it wide of sweeper covers for a single. He wants the second and sets off but is sent back. He slips a bit and is lazy with his effort to get back in and does not put a dive in as well. Maheesh Theekshana throws it on the bounce to the bowler, where Parag collects and breaks the stumps. The replay shows that Ali is short of his crease, and his struggles at the crease come to an end. Kolkata Knight Riders lose their first!
