SRH will be happy with this effort. Just 86 off the last 11 overs with wickets in hand. They kept Stokes quiet, Holder got Samson out, and it was too much for Buttler to do when he came in as late as he did. Be back with the chase soon

Natarajan to Archer, SIX, that is an Archer special. Drops all nice little dinks and takes a wide full toss and sends it back over his head for a six

19.2
1w
Natarajan to Archer, 1 wide, changes the plan. Bowls a wide length ball. Goes too wide
19.1
4
Natarajan to Archer, FOUR, Archer does what you do when someone is as good at the yorker as Natarajan. You ramp. Takes this on the full, and even adds a bit of a flick to the ramp

Natarajan to bowl the last over of the innings

Holder to Parag, OUT, smart bowling, smart catch. Parag leaves the crease, Holder bowls the slower wide short ball, taking it out of Parag's reach, who still flat-bats it and skies it. Warner back-pedals from mid-off to gets under it, but because he is still on the move, the catch is not clean. He juggles it as he falls over, and is lucky the ball has not bounced too far from him and completes the catch

R Parag c Warner b Holder 20 (12b 2x4 1x6) SR: 166.66

Holder to Parag, 1 wide, goes for the yorker, but slides down the leg side

In comes Rahul Tewatia

18.1
W
Holder to Smith, OUT, Smith gets no power. He is expecting the yorker, so he goes deep into the crease to turn this full ball into a half-volley, but manages no timing in the slog. Caught at long-on

SPD Smith c Pandey b Holder 19 (15b 2x4 0x6) SR: 126.66

Holder, and not Shankar, will bowl the 19th. Can RR get 30 off these two overs?

17.5

Natarajan to Parag, FOUR, gets this yorker nearly right. Just about six inches short of the mark. Paraga looks to go over cover with an open face, and gets a thick outside edge over short third man for four
17.4
6
Natarajan to Parag, SIX, that is a lovely shot, and not a moment too soon. Natarajan goes for the wide yorker, and misses the mark by a foot or so. Paraga reaches it, is down on a knee, and hits this over extra cover for a six
17.3
4
Natarajan to Parag, FOUR, Parag corrects that. He knows Natarajan is bowling yorkrs, so he gets inside the line and down on a knee to take this on the full and ramp it over short fine

Thirteen balls without a boundary

17.2
1
Natarajan to Smith, 1 run, pinpoint yorker, middle and leg, and all Smith can do is dig it out for one

"Parag didn't even show any intent to hit a six or a four this over! What're the RR up to? Do they think 140 will be enough? Strange!" Aashish Calla is talking of the last over here

17.1
1
Natarajan to Parag, 1 run, low full toss when looking for a yorker. Runs off the thick outside edge to square third man for one

Natarajan will bowl 18 and 20. And Shankar to bowl the 19th?

Tasmeem: "In defence of Jadhav and Maxwell, most of the time they came out at pressure situations with field spread. An opener with 106 strike rate facing more than 100 balls is stuff from the nightmares."

16.6
