Dot ball to begin. Single from Samson. 12 from 4 balls. Single from Morris. SIX! Arshdeep misses the mark and Samson smacks it over covers for a six! 5 from 2 balls. He hit it to long off but he turns down the single. FIVE FROM 1 BALL. WICKET! Samson goes for the big booming drive over covers but he doesn't get the timing on it and the catch is completed by Hooda! A stunning final over from Arshdeep!  Samson's 63-ball 119 goes in vain but what a monumental effort from the new Royals skipper.

RR 209/6 in 19 overs: WICKET! Some respite for Meredith as he gets the wicket of Tewatia, who chases a wide delivery and nicks it behind to Rahul. Morris is the new man in. Meredith drifts on to the pads and Samson clips it over square leg for a six! Just eight runs from the over. Royals need 13 from the over.

RR 201/5 in 18 overs: Back of the hand slower ball and Samson lofts it over covers for a four. He follows it up with a magnificient six! He holds the pose for good measure! He moves to 98..  100 for SANJU SAMSON! Full and wide from Richardson and Samson slices it behind short third man for a four. He needed just 54 balls. 200 up for Royals.
