- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.3 holes out to deep square leg! Farooqi has another! Banged into the track on middle and off stump. Jaiswal looks to heave it away but does not quite get hold of it. In fact, he toe-ends it and Mayank does the rest on the fence! Vital wicket for SRH! 139/25.5 cleans him up! Farooqi breaks through! Back of a length delivery at the stumps that skids through and might have just nipped back a shade. Buttler tries to punch on the up but the movement means that he gets a feather of an inside edge that cannons into the top of middle and off stump! Much-needed respite for the Sunrisers Hyderabad! 85/118.3 taken brilliantly at deep mid wicket! Slower delivery on a back of a length outside off stump, and this one just sticks in the surface a little. Samson has a swipe at it but is early into the stroke. He shanks it towards deep mid wicket, where Abhishek settles himself, catches it and then tiptoes his way out of trouble beautifully! 187/514.1 cleans him up with a corker! Heat-seeking 149.2 kph missile that hones in on off stump. Padikkal is already hanging back because of the extra pace and is awfully late on the stroke. He jumps up into the air but cannot do anything as the ball whistles past the bat and sends off stump flying! 151/316.1 taken at short third man! Natarajan gets Parag! Back of a length delivery outside off stump. Parag has a hack across the line but the angle means that he always has to fetch it. The ball also gets a little big on him and he ends up top-edging it towards short third man, where Farooqi settles under the high ball and completes the catch! 170/4Extras8 (b 5, lb 1, w 2)TOTAL203/5 (20 Overs, RR: 10.15)Fall of wickets: 1-85 (Jos Buttler, 5.5 ov), 2-139 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 12.3 ov), 3-151 (Devdutt Padikkal, 14.1 ov), 4-170 (Riyan Parag, 16.1 ov), 5-187 (Sanju Samson, 18.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.3 cleans him up with an absolute peach! Sizzling yorker that seems to start on middle and leg stump before swerving away at the last moment. Abhishek is completely flummoxed by it and can't lay bat on it as the ball flattens off stump! What a special delivery! 0/110.6 holes out to long off! Flighted devilishly on a full length on off stump. Mayank looks to smash it into next week but is beaten in the flight. Like Phillips, he has to reach out for it and toe-ends it miles up into the air towards long off. Buttler settles under it and completes the catch comfortably! 52/60.5 taken excellent at slip! Full delivery just outside off stump. Tripathi takes a step down the track, and opens his bat face, almost guiding it towards Holder, who is stationed at a wide slip. Holder flings himself to his left and holds onto a spectacular catch! But hang on....Tripathi has reviewed this one, saying that he has not nicked it at all. Replays, though, only confirm what we saw first time out. Tripathi has absolutely smashed it, and he now has to walk back! 0/26.6 knocks him over! Back of a length delivery on middle and off stump that skids through. Brook tries to cut it but does not have any room to work with. It sneaks past the bat and then crashes into the stumps! Brook's troubled stay comes to an end, and SRH sink further in trouble! 34/38.2 straight up and taken by Hetmyer! Back of a length delivery on middle and leg stump that climbs onto Sundar. He has a hack across the line but because the ball gets big on him, he can only spoon it towards Hetmyer at extra cover! SRH in all sorts of trouble now! 39/49.3 straight to cover! Looped up on a full length outside off stump, and Phillips' eyes light up. He drives at it but is always reaching out for the ball. In the end, he gets it off the toe end and offers a simple catch to Asif! 48/513.6 stumped by a mile! Flighted up nicely on a length outside off stump. Rashid hares down the track but is nowhere close to the pitch of the ball. He has a swish anyway but misses the ball by quite some distance as it rips past the outside edge. Samson does the rest behind the stumps, and SRH are seven down now! 81/717.5 cleans him up! Googly on a length on middle and off stump. Kumar has no clue about it and looks to crash it through the off side. The ball rips back into him, cuts him in half and then disturbs the furniture! RR just two wickets away from victory now! 95/8Extras7 (lb 1, nb 3, w 3)TOTAL131/8 (20 Overs, RR: 6.55)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Abhishek Sharma, 0.3 ov), 2-0 (Rahul Tripathi, 0.5 ov), 3-34 (Harry Brook, 6.6 ov), 4-39 (Washington Sundar, 8.2 ov), 5-48 (Glenn Phillips, 9.3 ov), 6-52 (Mayank Agarawal, 10.6 ov), 7-81 (Adil Rashid, 13.6 ov), 8-95 (Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 17.5 ov)
