Pitch report | Ian Bishop: There is a fair amount of grass and so the ball should slide on. It could be a bit two-paced as well as the other side is a bit dry and the spinners might be able to get something. All in all, we're hoping for a high-scoring contest.
Stuart Broad tried to fool the dog but dogs are very intelligent. More than fast bowlers? Just saw this gif ...sharing with you all!

Rajasthan, despite losing two in a row, are still favourites to qualify.
But their overdependence on Buttler has clearly been exposed.
Their team combination isn't sorted either.
Given that apart from Ashwin, none of their other four bowlers bat, they seem limited in both departments. They could seriously do with an all-rounder, perhaps in place of Karun Nair.
They even have an overseas slot left open. Punjab got most things sorted in their last game. Bairstow and Agarwal are both due big ones.
There couldn't be a better setting for it than an afternoon game at the Wankhede.
Sanju Samson, Rajasthan Royals Captain: We would have liked to have batted first, but we have a balanced side. It is a different challenge, so we will look to enjoy it. Karun Nair misses out for Yashaswi Jaiswal.
Mayank Agarwal, Punjab Kings: This is a good pitch. The conditions are hot, it might get slower and turn a bit. It was fantastic from Liam, the openers laid out a good platform as well which was pleasing. We are playing the same team.
