9:15pm An innings of two halves, really. In the first half, the ball was doing all sorts and PBKS reduced SRH to 66-4. They could not get rid of Nitish, though, and he stood tall, even as those around him perished. He registered his maiden IPL fifty and finished with 64 off 37. Samad, Shahbaz and Head also played cameos, and those knocks have helped SRH to get to 182, which did not seem llikely at the half-way stage.

Arshdeep was the standout bowler for the hosts. His last over went for 15 but with the new ball, he looked unplayable at times. He broke the back of SRH's top order, with a two-wicket over that included the scalps of Head and Markram. Arshdeep then returned later to rip out Samad and Nitish, ensuring that SRH did not threaten a 200-plus score.

Curran and Harshal picked up two wickets apiece, while Rabada accounted for Cummins. PBKS will be relatively happy with the score they have to chase. SRH, though, will also feel they can make a match out of this, especially if they start well. Join us in a bit for the run-chase!

Arshdeep Singh: There was some movement to start off with. It was a little sticky. Then the dew came in and the wicket settled a little bit. I was very happy till the third over. It was a really good day, was trying to stick to my plans and deliver for my team. Hitting boundaries straight is relatively easy than hitting it square, so trying to make the most of it, and tried to use the wicket. Tried to bowl into the wicket and bowl wide yorkers also.

Curran to Unadkat, SIX, palmed over the bar, oh dear! Slower ball that sits up to be hit just outside off. Unadkat stands up tall and slams it towards long on. Harshal makes an absolute hash of it and pushes it over the fence too!

Unadkat is the last batter in

Curran to Kumar, OUT, straight to long off! In the slot outside off, and it is there to be hit. Bhuvneshwar gives it everything he has but clinks it off the toe-end. Bairstow takes a few paces in from long off, and does the rest. The new batter will be on strike for the final ball!

Arshdeep Singh to Shahbaz Ahmed, FOUR, vital boundary! Too much width outside off, and Shahbaz picks the slower ball too. Waits for it and scythes it past backward point, who got a hand to it but could not get enough behind it

Rabada to Cummins, OUT, Rabada has his first! Slower ball on a length on middle and off. Cummins clears his front leg and swings for the hills. Loses his shape completely and loses his stumps soon after. PBKS keep chipping away, and they are now in with a real chance to restrict SRH to a total under 170!

Arshdeep Singh to Nitish Kumar Reddy, OUT, Two wickets in the over for the second time today for Arshdeep! Rank full toss, bowled a mile outside off, perhaps because of where Nitish is standing. He tries to muscle it over long off but the bat turns in his hand upon contact. Hits it straight down Rabada's throat at long off, adn that brings to an end a superb innings!

Arshdeep Singh to Abdul Samad, OUT, holes out to deep backward point! Arshdeep set the trap, and he executes to perfection. Full and wide outside off. Samad flays at it but cannot control his stroke. Slices it and Harshal is stationed on the fence for exactly that stroke. A simple catch, and PBKS break what was looking like a threatening partnership!

Arshdeep Singh to Abdul Samad, no run, full and wide outside off. Samad has a massive swing at it and misses. Was a touch-and-go call on the wide, and SRH opt to go upstairs. The ball was just beyond the tramlines but because the batter was standing just outside off, Alex Wharf says it is a fair delivery!
