9.42pm: Despite those last two shots, great comeback by the Royals bowlers after Pandey was smashing them around. Strange day in the field by Royals though, some great catches but 20 runs given from mis-fields and overthrows.

Unadkat: I thought it was my day, I was catching all of them! The wickets was a bit slow and we stuck to our plans even though they started well. We assessed the pitch well. All of their batters like pace on the ball, which is why (he bowled a lot of cutters). We were ordinary to start off, with mis-field and overthrows. He (Smith) was not happy with us in the Powerplay but he was happy at the end.

Aaron to Rashid Khan, SIX, finishes the innings in style This was a slower one again but Rashid was waiting for it and he slaps it straight back over the bowler's head with a horizontal bat and it hits the boundary skirting on the full at long-off

Aaron to Rashid Khan, FOUR, that was a normal pace delivery, 143 kph, very full outside off and Rashid clears his front leg to power it over extra cover for a much-needed boundary

Aaron to Rashid Khan, 2 runs, another slower ball, he's down the track to swat it over cow corner but it takes the inside edge to fine leg. They hustle for two, the fielder there was a mite slow in getting to the ball

Aaron to Kumar, OUT, third brilliant catch of the match by Unadkat Another back of hand slower one, and Bhuvi was giving himself room but Aaron bowled it on his pads. He tried to flick it, too early into the shot, and it takes the leading edge and swirls to square leg. Samson is running but Unadkat calls out, running in and dives in front to take it

Aaron to Rashid Khan, 1 run, quick one, on a length outside off, he's late into the pull and it goes off the end of the bat towards long-on

Siddhartha K: "I don't see a point in SRH entering playoffs, they are far more unsettled side when warner leaves, they will be out in the eliminator, so better give that chance to RCB" - well no one gave Royals a chance without Archer, Buttler and Stokes. But look at how well they've done today...

Unadkat to Shakib Al Hasan, OUT, holes out to wide long on another slower ball, length outside off. Shakib tries to fetch it from there and wants to pull it to midwicket, but it's a long boundary and he has to generate all the power himself. Doesn't get enough on it and Shreyas Gopal is eager to make amends for the earlier drop, runs around to his left from long-on to hold on to a good catch

Thomas to Saha, OUT, Oshane's not going to be denied for long. Saha's been out of cricket for a while and a pacy, back of length ball that's zipping in from off is not the easiest to face. He was giving himself room to try and swat it into the legside, but gets a thin top edge that is held by Samson behind the stumps.
