12.45pm That's all we have in game 6 of the 2018 IPL, from a rainy Jaipur. Rajasthan have a win, Delhi don't. More IPL tomorrow, join us then.

12.31am It's not very loud in Jaipur, but Rajasthan are on the board. They successfully, and very clinically, defend 71 to beat the Delhi Daredevils for the seventh consecutive time in the IPL.

A few more minutes of rain may have meant this match would have been washed out, but not to be. We managed to get in a six-over game, with a 71-run target for Delhi. They could never get anything going right from the outset. Ben Laughlin was the best bowler for Rajasthan, culling the game with a match-changing 10 balls. That leaves Delhi to still get a win in this year's IPL.

Sanju Samson is the Man of the Match: "Feels amazing, we wanted a win at our home ground. It's about the preparation, we had four team camps."

Ajinkya Rahane: "Good way to start at home. We thought 71 was difficult to chase, focussing on things we could control. When we were batting, we thought 165 to 170 would be good. T20 is all about starting from zero, whether we win or lose."

Meanwhile, there has been a frantic start in the UEFA Champions League, as Juventus have scored inside two minutes against Real Madrid. Can they overturn their 3-0 deficit from the first leg? Head over to ESPN.in to watch the match live and exclusive.

Gautam Gambhir: "It was a beautiful wicket to bat on. One of the flattest wickets. Thought if we could contain them to 170, we had a good chance. We had to go from ball 1. There are hardly any balls, difficult for our batsmen."

Laughlin to Morris, SIX, a six to finish! Another swervy slower delivery outside off, Morris stands in his crease and smashes the ball over long-on for six. Rajasthan enjoy their hoemcoming too, beating the Delhi Daredevils by 10 runs

Laughlin to Morris, FOUR, full and wide outside off, smashed over cover for four. But doesn't do much to the crowd or Delhi's mood.

Laughlin to Shankar, OUT, takes the catch! A slower ball on leg, Shankar bunts the ball away again to long-on. Stokes runs in and takes a simple catch to seal Delhi's fate. A match-changing 10 balls from Laughlin.

Laughlin to Shankar, 2 runs, full outside off, chipped away over cover. Wild cheers from the Rajastahn crowd because they've won this game without any extras in the next three balls.

Laughlin to Morris, 1 leg bye, smashed on the helmet! This is a terrific delivery again. Doesn't bother with the slower ball, goes short and fast and accurate. Morris can't connect with a pull, the ball pings him on the helmet.

24 off 5 for Delhi. Morris on strike.

Laughlin to Shankar, 1 run, a length delivery outside off is swung away to deep midwicket, it shapes away again.

Right then, 25 off 6! Laughlin to bowl. 24 runs will take us to a Super Over.

Unadkat to Pant, OUT, that's very, very high and taken by Gowtham! A slower delivery is right in the slot, he would not want it anywhere else? It's on the pads too. Pant swings too early again and hits the ball in the air, backward square leg runs in and takes the catch, a very good, smart, hold-your-composure catch.

RR Pant c Gowtham b Unadkat 20 (14b 3x4 0x6) SR: 142.85

Delhi need a boundary!

Unadkat to Pant, no run, was that required? Gambhir ain't happy with the shot selection. A full delivery on the pads. Pant looks for a switch hit, because third man is up. But the ball goes past and hits Pant on the pad.

25 off 8. Mid-off comes up, always dangerous.

Unadkat to Pant, FOUR, 116 kph. A slower delivery down leg, Pant pulls that, but gets the ball behind square for a boundary. Over fine leg. He's too early through the shot, but he won't care. Four.

Unadkat to Morris, 1 run, well executed from Rajasthan, good from Rahane and Unadkat. A low full toss very wide outside off if sliced away to that deep backward point fielder.

3 runs a ball now. Tension! Rahane is chatting with his bowler. Changes are being made to the field.

Unadkat to Morris, FOUR, well played, four. Again, the wide yorker. Morris slices the ball through backward point for four. Third man is up, point is back, which is why he bowled that line.

Guruprasad D: "35 off 12. Bring in DK now!"

Unadkat to Pant, 1 run, a nice, slower delivery on middle and leg. Pant swings to deep midwicket, the ball goes very high but lobs in no-man's land.

35 off 12! 34 for a Super Over. Unadkat to bowl.
