END OF OVER:

  • Jaydev Unadkat3-0-33-1

Righto. Time for me to step out. Akshay Gopalakrishnan will be back with you shortly for the chase.

SRH were 99 for 1 after 12, so spectacular deceleration in the last 8: 52 runs, six wickets.

5.35pm K Gowtham and Jofra Archer have taken 5 for 44 in eight overs between them. The others, barring Jaydev Unadkat, who went for 33 off his three overs, also chipped in to make this a superb Royals bowling effort. This despite Kane Williamson and Alex Hales, on debut, threatening to take this game away with a 90-run stand. At one stage, they looked set to make 170 at least, but have been hauled back. Will this be enough? Can they defend for a third time in a row? Let's see.

Ish Sodhi, who picked 1 for 25 on debut, says: : "The pitch is keeping a little low. 150 is a little under par, but will be difficult to chase. It's starting to cool down now, but at 4pm it was pretty hot. This is one of the hottest places where I've played. It's nice to get Williamson out at that stage, he was hitting it cleanly and could've made us pay big time.

Archer to Saha, 1 bye, looks to back away and scoop but misses. They scamper a bye even as Buttler misses an underarm flick at the striker's end.

Archer in the last four overs this IPL: 6 for 19 in 24 balls. Ave 3.16, ER 4.75

Arun: "The Sunrisers up to their old tricks again. Lulling the opposition into a false sense of comfort with a ham-handed batting performance, and then ambushing them with clever bowling." -- I reckon that will be put to test tonight.

Archer to Rashid Khan, OUT, opens up the leg side and pulls this short ball from outside off, but can only hit it as far as Stokes at deep midwicket. No timing whatsoever on that.

Unadkat to Pandey, OUT, another painstaking Pandey innings comes to an end. Was in no control of this lofted hit. Sliced this slower delivery to point, where Rahane moved a couple of steps back to complete the catch. Royals continue to surge.

MK Pandey c Rahane b Unadkat 16 (15b 1x4 0x6) SR: 106.66

The five wickets for Archer in the last 4 overs of an innings is the second-most for a bowler this season. Only Bumrah, with seven has more.

Unadkat to Saha, 2 runs, slower and fuller on off, eased down to long of. There's a misfield from a limping Gowtham, who gives away the extra run. Cramps or something more? He's limping Seems fine.

Archer to Pathan, OUT, slashes this straight down the throat of third man. Yusuf looked to upper cut, this one didn't bounce as much as he would've liked. Easy catch, Archer continues to impress with every outing.

Archer to Pandey, 1 run, right into the blockhole again, squeezed to point

Saurabh: "SRH should seriously consider their death over batting. It's definitely below par and not even close to their death over bowling. Hooda coming in place of Pandey would be a good start to make amends I feel." -- They've trusted Pandey's reputation over Hooda, but yes, may have to make a call soon.

Archer to Shakib Al Hasan, OUT, the inswinging yorker has done the trick. Gets this to bend back in a long way from outside off from around the stumps, Shakib jams his bat down late as the ball bounces into the stumps. 'Should I, should I not?' the ball thought to itself before disturbing the bails
