RR vs GT Live Score and Updates, Match 24: Rain delays toss in Jaipur

Aaron Finch and Pommie Mbangwa decode the pitch: "Slightly windy at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. 62 metres on one side (against the wind), 70 metres on the other (with the wind). 79 metres down the ground. Looks like a really good wicket. There's just a hint of grass on it - green grass. Hopefully that will keep some extra pace in the wicket. We saw here last time, this was the slowest out of all the surfaces on this block of wickets in Jaipur. For me, I'll look to play straight as a batter here. Because we know in Jaipur, there can be some movement with the new ball. But as it goes on, I expect it to get a little bit slower. With the overhead conditions, there shouldn't be much dew.Overhead conditions suggest there might be rain later on"

RR vs GT Live: Shane Bond on RR's dominant home run

Ahead of the GT tie, Bond said, "One of the things we talked about from last year to this year was playing better at home. We didn't play well here last year, we talked a lot about how we wanted to go about our work and I think we've adjusted really well. We're three from three here and that gives us a lot of confidence going into the next game which is here again."
