- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.1 taken at cover point! Jaiswal only had to grab it with both hands after moving a step to his right! Theekshana bowled a short delivery which was wide enough for any batter to slap for a boundary, only for Abhishek to end up slashing it away from his body to break another stunning stand with Head. RR and I can take a breather, at least for now 45/19.3 drills this straight to mid-off. Head reaches out to scythe this over cover but can't get the kins of bat on it as he'd like, Hetmyer takes an excellent catch. Good use of the knuckleball from Deshpande. The pace off clearly did its trick on Head as he went through with the shot. 130/214.2 whips this straight down Jaiswal's throat at deep midwicket. He had to come in quite a long way from the boundary and was on the move when he caught that. Well taken. 202/318.2 taken at long-on! Klaasen looks frustrated! He went slightly across the stumps, and was deep in the crease, before he went lofting at this length delivery just outside off. The length seemed perfect to dispatch the ball by heaving it away, but Klaasen found Parag, who was standing bang at the edge of the boundary 258/419.2 taken at fine leg! Archer goes low to grab this just above the ground. It was a slower ball from Deshpande, as he bowled on a length, and around sixth stump. Again, the length was hittable, even as Aniket was deep in the crease, and standing outside off. His front leg was also cleared, but he just couldn't dispatch the ball this time 279/519.3 gone first ball! Comfortable catch for Parag at long-on... and hopes of SRH crossing 287 start fading. It was a full toss at knee height around middle and off, and Manohar went lofting. But I think he didn't get enough bat swing at the ball. That leaves Deshpande on a hat-trick 279/6Extras18 (b 4, lb 1, nb 3, w 10)TOTAL286/6 (20 Overs, RR: 14.3)Fall of wickets: 1-45 (Abhishek Sharma, 3.1 ov), 2-130 (Travis Head, 9.3 ov), 3-202 (Nitish Kumar Reddy, 14.2 ov), 4-258 (Heinrich Klaasen, 18.2 ov), 5-279 (Aniket Verma, 19.2 ov), 6-279 (Abhinav Manohar, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 superb catch by Manohar! The orange army at the ground yells its throat out! Manohar, at point, leapt up full stretch, and managed to grab the ball in his left hand. He couldn't have jumped any higher, and Simarjeet couldn't have been happier. He bowled short and wide of off, as Jaiswal went to cut and even got good height, only for Manohar to interfere 20/113.6 top edge, and gone! All Klaasen has to do is move a few steps back, and to his right, before taking it with a reverse cup. A slower-ball bouncer from Harshal, as he went short and wide-ish of off. The ball came back in to finish around off, while also bouncing considerably. Samson went pulling, but his top hand came off the bat, and the ball went off the top edge 161/41.5 taken at mid-on! Parag perishes searching for another boundary! Simarjeet strikes twice within three balls. He bowled this short and just outside off, and with a scrambled seam. Parag looked to shift his weight back and pull this back, but ended up getting it off the higher side of the bat. Cummins, at mid-on, moved a step back and to his left to take with a reverse cup 24/24.1 gone! Skied to mid-off for another simple catch for Cummins! Shami bowled it with an upright seam, and angled the ball in from around the wicket. He pitched it on the fuller side of a length around off, with no movement off the pitch. Rana was deep in the crease, and went lofting at this ball. But the length could ideally have been fuller, and he only mistimed it to fall in the powerplay 50/314.2 taken at long-on! Jurel falls going for a slog sweep. Zampa bowls full and around sixth stump, and the line of the ball turns out to be quite wide for Jurel to execute that sweep shot. The ball ends up going flat to Kishan, the centurion from earlier in the day, and SRH take another step closer to victory. Jurel fought hard for RR, but there was too much to get 161/519.5 another short ball this one's cramped Hetmyer as he goes through with the flat-batted hit, the top-edge lodges safely in the hands of mid-off. Harshal went proper seam-up this time, as against a cutter, and got it to skid through. Clever change of tactic and he gets a second wicket. 241/6Extras13 (b 4, nb 2, w 7)TOTAL242/6 (20 Overs, RR: 12.1)Fall of wickets: 1-20 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 1.3 ov), 2-24 (Riyan Parag, 1.5 ov), 3-50 (Nitish Rana, 4.1 ov), 4-161 (Sanju Samson, 13.6 ov), 5-161 (Dhruv Jurel, 14.2 ov), 6-241 (Shimron Hetmyer, 19.5 ov)
