- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.3 where's the crown in Hyderabad? Put it on Prince's head. And he has dismissed Travis Head in the most spectacular fashion, knocking over almost all his stumps. Pitches it up fearlessly, Head swings and misses and the ball crashes into the base of the stumps 76/32.1 Shardul gets the big wicket of Abhishek and raises his finger himself! They had placed one at deep square leg from Shardul's first over and he sends down a short ball which Abhishek pulls and that's gone straight to Pooran 15/12.2 gone first ball! That's the magic of Shardul Thakur. Looks like the most innocuous delivery swinging down leg after pitching in front of the pads, Kishan feathers it behind and Pant doesn't even celebrate but Shardul does, and the umpire says it's out. Kishan looks disappointed, he's not reviewing that 15/214.1 Knocks him over! Tossed up full on off, Reddy felt the pressure growing and looked for the big swing down the ground, but he can't pick the googly and hears the death rattle as his middle stump is pegged back 128/511.6 Klaasen is run out in bizarre fashion! This is overpitched and Reddy drives this hard to Prince's left. He goes low to take the catch, but can't hold on. But the ball deflects from his hands onto the stumps at the non-striker's end! Klaasen was out of his crease and starts to walk immediately. Prince has delivered the wickets of both Head and Klaasen today! He seems to have hurt his hand though 110/415.6 And this time he holes out Sees this dropped slightly short and rocks back for the pull. But it wasn't a long hop and he can't get the distance on it. Miller makes no mistake. Aniket departs after injecting much-needed momentum into the innings 156/616.2 Sliced in the air and Thakur has his third! Goes for the wide yorker again, Manohar goes deep in his crease and looks to go over point but this goes too fine and Samad gets under it, running in from deep third. Thakur has the purple cap now! 156/717.3 Avesh with the comeback! Goes wide of the crease and goes full outside off. Cummins opens his face and looks to steer this past short third but it goes straight to the fielder 176/818.3 Shardul has a fourth! Short and wide, Shami looks to slap it away but can only get it off the toe end to cover as his right hand comes off the handle 181/9Extras7 (nb 1, w 6)TOTAL190/9 (20 Overs, RR: 9.5)Did not bat: A ZampaFall of wickets: 1-15 (Abhishek Sharma, 2.1 ov), 2-15 (Ishan Kishan, 2.2 ov), 3-76 (Travis Head, 7.3 ov), 4-110 (Heinrich Klaasen, 11.6 ov), 5-128 (Nitish Kumar Reddy, 14.1 ov), 6-156 (Aniket Verma, 15.6 ov), 7-156 (Abhinav Manohar, 16.2 ov), 8-176 (Pat Cummins, 17.3 ov), 9-181 (Mohammed Shami, 18.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.5 Cummins has a second. This is almost yorker length around off and Marsh manages to just chip it harmlessly down the ground. Nitish Kumar Reddy runs in from long-on to take the catch. A good knock from Marsh comes to an end 138/31.3 straight to mid-off! Markram drives the length ball on the up and hands a straightforward catch to Cummins. Perishes only for 1 against his former side. Shami strikes with the new ball again and crowd loves it! 4/18.4 struck in front of middle and the finger has gone up! Pooran has a chat with Marsh and goes for the review. Only an edge can save him though. Angling in from outside off, pitching just outside off, hitting in line and hitting middle and leg. No edge and review and Pooran both gone 120/214.1 What's happened here? That's a full toss that has Pant losing shape as he tries to smack it away. It goes off the edge to Shami at short third. Shami immediately signals it's going to be called no-ball for height. The umpires are having a check. Pant was out of his crease. And the ball tracking shows that had Pant been standing upright at the crease so he is out of here! Shakes his head as he walks back, as Harshal continues to damage LSG 164/512.6 Skied in the air, and that's an excellent catch from Harshal Patel! He had to run in a long way from deep midwicket and then grab it low. Badoni had a swipe across the line to this full ball and got a top edge. SRH trying to make a contest out of this 154/4Extras14 (lb 1, w 13)TOTAL193/5 (16.1 Overs, RR: 11.93)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Aiden Markram, 1.3 ov), 2-120 (Nicholas Pooran, 8.4 ov), 3-138 (Mitchell Marsh, 10.5 ov), 4-154 (Ayush Badoni, 12.6 ov), 5-164 (Rishabh Pant, 14.1 ov)
