Welcome back.. A slip in place for Morris

Hooda: "We were looking for 180-190 and good that we got the score. I want to be like Kevin Pietersen. There is a big role for me with the ball as they have 3-4 left-handers."

It was Axar Patel, who winkled out Watson, with Saha effecting the stumping. However, Deepak Hooda and Karun Nair played breezy knocks and that brought the crowd to its feet. The deck is flat, but Rajasthan have the advantage of putting runs on the board.

Rajasthan's batsmen played with a dash of adventurism to notch up a big score. It was Ajinkya Rahane, who essayed a flurry of fluent shots to give the hosts a rollicking start. He took on the gauntlet of facing up to Mitchell Johnson and collected a couple of boundaries. Even after reaching his fifty, Rahane continued to deal in fours and sixes. After a rather sedate start, Shane Watson too played power-packed shots and carted Shivam Sharma for two fours and two sixes in the 9th over.

19.4 - Anureet Singh to Samson, 1 run, full and on the stumps, Samson mishits the slog to long-on

0.2 - Sandeep Sharma to Watson, leg byes, 1 run, big swing for Sandeep, the inswinger, but it swings onto Watson's pads, he looks to flick and misses, the ball rolls away behind square on the on-side. Sandeep belts out an appeal, but it was always going down

0.1 - Sandeep Sharma to Rahane, 1 run, swing for Sandeep, but this one drifts onto Rahane's pads, nudged away towards square leg for a single

Rahane and Watson are at the crease. Rahane is on strike. Sandeep Sharma will open the attack

Shaun Marsh is the Man of the Match for his 40-ball 65

Sehwag: 'It was a great game. The way they started, we thought that they will cross the 200-run mark. Our bowlers pulled things back towards the end. Marsh and Miller batted superbly, they took us towards that score. Johnson and Patel batted really well at the end and took it to the Super Over. Johnson bowled a super Super Over. There was no other option, Maxwell, Miller and Marsh, we thought they are the ones that should go out and bat. It was exciting. If you want to stay in the hunt for the final four, we need to win more games. There are 2-3 days to go, he has a shoulder niggle and hopefully, he will be fine next game.'

Watson: 'We didn't quite expect a loss, but it obviously got very tight towards the Super Over. We conceded a lot of runs towards the end of their innings. Marsh and Miller batted well in the end. We will take some learning from this loss, but they played really well. You hardly ever play the Super Over. So, you try to play the best you can at that time with whatever options you have. We were definitely going to lose a game at some point of this tournament. There are so many good teams here and we lost to one of them today.'

Earlier, it was Pravin Tambe, who yet again proved his worth by deceiving the batsmen with his path of flight and guile. He was rewarded with the wicket of the dangerous Shaun Marsh. Tewatia too played his part by prising out Glenn Maxwell. Undoubtedly, most teams are using a leg-spinner at Maxwell. For Punjab, Marsh unfurled eye-catching shots and essayed a fifty. David Miller too played a fine hand. It was Axar Patel, who then landed a meaty blow off the final ball of the innings as the game ended in a tie, with Super Over coming into play. Rajasthan's batsmen also shone brightly. It was Ajinkya Rahane, who held the innings together with an enterprising knock. Shane Watson also made an impact with a fine innings. With this victory, the visitors have won two out of five games.

In what turned out to be a game full of ebbs and flows, Punjab held their nerve to win the Super Over. After Chris Morris snared David Miller's wicket, Shaun Marsh landed meaty blows to lift the visitors. With the ball in hand, Mitchell Johnson shattered Watson's stumps and an excellent piece of work from Saha meant James Faulkner was found short of the crease as the hosts slipped towards defeat. The crowd certainly would have thoroughly enjoyed a cracker of a game.

Johnson and Co. are ecstatic. They have defeated the invincible team of the tournament so far. A Super Over was a great result for PUN as they had another chance of winning it from there and well, they haven't disappointed their fans. Jubilation for PUN as they get into a huddle, while the Rajasthan look very disappointed

Ball 3: Johnson to Faulkner, OUT, run out! PUN win and RAJ lose their first game of the season. It was full and outside off, it was bowled slower as well, Faulkner goes for a big slog and misses. He was out of his crease looking for the bye there, but Smith sends him back and a direct-hit from Saha catches Faulkner well short, even though he put in the dive

Rajasthan need 10 runs off 4 balls to win, but 9 will enough for them.

Ball 2: Johnson to Smith, 1 run, full delivery just outside off, Smith drives it to mid-off and sets off, the fielder has a direct-hit at the non-striker's end, but Smith was well in

Ball 2: Johnson to Smith, FOUR, no ball, Johnson is probably doing what Morris did. It was a very high full toss well wide outside off, Smith goes after it, gets an outside edge that rolls way to the third man fence. The umpire calls it a no-ball for height

Oh looks like they've made a late call. Steven Smith, who wasn't padded up earlier, is striding out.

Ball 1: Johnson to Watson, OUT, bowled! Shane Watson is out first ball in the Super Over. Miller got out first ball and now Watson gets out. It was the yorker on the off stump, bowled at 146kph. Watson made room to carve it over backward point, but fails to squeeze out the yorker. Off stump is pegged back and Johnson is ecstatic after bowling his Australian mate over

STAT: RAJ have played 2 Super Overs in T20 League history and they have won both of them.

Rajasthan need 16 runs to win. Even if they get 15, it will be RAJ who will be declared as winners because they hit more boundaries. Waiting to see who the three batsmen are for Rajasthan. Axar is seen bowling. Will he be the bowler for PUN? The Punjab team is in a huddle. Smith is not padded up, so he is not one of the batsmen. Deepak Hooda and Rahane are also not seen padded up. There is a slight delay as the Rajasthan haven't sent their batsmen. Faulkner and Watson are the first two batsmen. Binny might be the third batsman.

Ball 6: Morris to Marsh, 1 leg bye, Run Out. It was a yorker right on the base of the stumps, Marsh misses it completely, is struck on the boot. Umpire Ravi thinks he got some wood on that, gives it as run, the batsmen try to sneak in a second run, Samson ran forward and flicked the bails.

Ball 5: Morris to Marsh, no run, fullish and bowled well wide of off, Marsh has a swing at that and fails to make the desired connection

Morris changes to round the wicket

Ball 4: Morris to Marsh, FOUR, Morris is not getting his yorkers right, low full toss around off, Marsh drills it straight down the ground, beating the long-on and long-off fielder, the ball travelled to the fence in no time

Ball 3: Morris to Marsh, FOUR, shortish and on the stumps, Marsh swivels and pulls it behind square, the ball had enough to reach the fence

Ball 3: Morris to Marsh, no ball, FOUR, another full toss from Morris and Marsh has put it away, it was above the waist as well, Marsh hammers it over cover, beats the fielder in the deep and collects a much needed boundary

Ball 2: Morris to Maxwell, 1 run, full and outside off, Maxwell reaches out for it and slices it, the ball was in the air, but landed well in front of the running sweeper cover

Ball 1: Morris to Miller, OUT, Miller LBW Morris 0(1). Morris has struck with the first ball of the Super Over. It was a full toss, Miller misses out on the heave, it was high and hit him just above the knee-roll, umpire Ravi took a hard look at it and raised his finger. Miller was not pleased with the decision. The impact was on middle-stump, so that was a good call.

Both teams are conferring near the boundary rope. Sehwag has a long discussion with the fourth umpire, who is out with the ball box. Miller and Marsh seem to be the two batsmen selected by PUN. Even if the Super Over is tied, it goes down to the number of boundaries, RAJ are ahead on that count. Morris to bowl for Rajasthan. Maxwell is the third batsmen selected by PUN

Sehwag has his hands on head. Watson looks disappointed with the result, but PUN players are cheering. Now, PUN will bat first and RAJ will chase whatever they make in the Super Over. Who will be the batters for PUN? Surely, Marsh and Miller have to be two out of the three batsmen for PUN. Let's see who RAJ choose to bowl the Super Over. It could be Morris or Tambe even.

Has Johnson been run-out here? Smith is the man with the throw. He has probably just made his ground and 'Not Out' it is.
