- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.4 knocked him over with a beauty. Curran had no clue against Sandeep tonight. Sandeep goes around the wicket, hits a good length with an angle into leg stump, but gets it to hold its line a touch. Curran nudges in front of the body for the angle and ends up playing inside that. It hits middle stump. But a job well done from CSK's new opener. Addendum: on second viewing, it looks like Curran just played the wrong line and it didn't straighten all that much. Also it hit leg stump 35/22.1 got him! Faf waits ten minutes to have the strike and goes first ball. Looks like he expected that to come on much quicker. He's on the back foot and it's an inswinger from a good length outside off. He's on the way to middling this, to be fair, but because of his early timing he decides to check the shot. As a result, the bat hangs inside the line at the last moment and this flies off the outside edge 10/116.2 another full toss taken at long-off. Slightly more complex, this take, but Pandey keeps his balance. Full toss wide outside off, spanked off the front foot and this dips to Pandey's left. Has a hurried sprint and then keeps his bearings after catching that 120/415.2 straight to long-off. Friendly full toss wide outside off, about knee height. He hammers it to Warner's left and he crouches and takes that reverse cup 116/318.6 taken at extra cover. Low full toss across the corridor. Gets low and wants to chip that over extra cover. It comes off the toe and hangs harmlessly for Williamson 152/519.1 loses his stumps first ball. Overpitched ball angled away from leg stump stump. He's looking to launch it over long-on and is beaten on the outside edge. That was there for the hit and Khaleel's sheepish smile suggests he knows that.

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.3 inside edge onto pad and Curran takes it! Full and into middle stump. Looks to swipe it behind point and gets it straight onto his front pad which was out in the leg side. Pings back up for Curran who has a short sprint to his left and an easy catch. That's the first time this season that Warner's fallen in the powerplay 23/19.5 hits middle stump! Classic stuff from Jadeja. Cramps him, ties him, induces the false shot. Good length and tight on the stumps again. Bairstow looks to whip into the leg side and is beaten on the inside edge 59/33.6 Bravo gets Pandey! Pandey gets Pandey first actually, with this call. Good length ball, sweetly punched on the rise to extra cover. An instinctive call for the run? There usually isn't a fielder that straight at cover in the powerplays. Inexplicable otherwise because it's traveling at a good speed to Bravo who picks up cleanly and gets in superb position to take down the stumps at the non-striker's end. He had run to his right too so he had all three stumps to aim at. A regular single to mid-off's left on most days 27/217.2 taken at long-on. The plan's come off. Williamson reaching out for the slog sweep as Karn tosses it up slow and at a length outside off. Can't manage to get the power on that to clear the boundary 126/614.4 picks out deep midwicket! A clean lofted sweep from Garg, hit powerfully enough that he might have got a four a couple of metres to Jadeja's right. But he's got this from off stump and straight into the hands 99/416.4 taken at deep backward point. Full and wide, that's the plan, and that's what the field is set for. Shankar reaches out and slices it straight to Jadeja 117/518.6 taken at long-on. Low full toss outside off, looks to play the helicopter shot but once again he's not behind the line of this for that shot. Holes out. Oh but he's also got so deep in the crease that his back leg has pushed off stump back. 146/719.3 slower ball at a good length on leg stump. Looks for the slog and skies it up pitch side. Bravo yells mine and settles under that to take the catch and close any realistic mathematical chances for SRH 146/8Extras6 (w 6)TOTAL147/8 (20 Overs, RR: 7.35)Did not bat: KK AhmedFall of wickets: 1-23 (David Warner, 3.3 ov), 2-27 (Manish Pandey, 3.6 ov), 3-59 (Jonny Bairstow, 9.5 ov), 4-99 (Priyam Garg, 14.4 ov), 5-117 (Vijay Shankar, 16.4 ov), 6-126 (Kane Williamson, 17.2 ov), 7-146 (Rashid Khan, 18.6 ov), 8-146 (Shahbaz Nadeem, 19.3 ov)
