19.4 - U Yadav to Henriques, FOUR, full delivery outside off, Henriques throws his bat at that, the outside edge flies to the right of Robin, who dived in vain. A much needed boundary for HYD

18.1 - A Russell to Dhawan, FOUR, Dhawan starts the over with a boundary. It was a pre-meditated shot and luckily he got it where he wanted it, walked across the stumps and scoops it to the left of short fine leg

17.0 - M Morkel to N Ojha, FOUR, lovely shot! A much needed boundary to end the over. On a length just outside off, Ojha stands up and hammers it on the up through extra cover, Russell at sweeper cover had no chance of stopping that

16.0 - Narine to Dhawan, FOUR, cheeky! Dhawan has taken over the mantle from Warner. It was a floated ball around off, Dhawan kneels down and reverse paddles it past the diving Morkel at short third. The South African fast bowler dived over the ball

14.1 - M Morkel to Warner, FOUR, Warner is into the 90s. He backs away to the leg-side, Morkel fires it well wide of off, Warner manages to reach it and slice it over backward point for a boundary

12.4 - J Botha to Warner, FOUR, Warner backs away towards the leg-side, Botha darts in a low full toss, Warner manages to get under it and smack it to long-on, Morkel misjudged it and ran forward, the ball sails over him. He should have done better. The umpires check if it carried the distance, the ball landed just before the rope. Botha not happy with Morkel's effort

11.2 - Chawla to Warner, FOUR, this is just unbelievable batting from Warner. Flighted just outside off, Warner switches the grip and smacks it over backward point and short third man, almost went the distance

10.0 - U Yadav to Dhawan, FOUR, that's well played by Dhawan, length ball and on his pads, flicked away over square leg for a boundary

6.3 - Y Pathan to Warner, FOUR, that's another long-hop and it's duly punished. A misfield from the fielder at extra cover, Warner was quick to rock back and smeared it through cover's hands, no chance for the man in the deep

5.4 - J Botha to Warner, FOUR, the switch-hit from Warner, Botha dropped this one short and on the stumps, Warner changes his stance and pulls it up and over point for a boundary

4.4 - Narine to Warner, FOUR, too short from Narine, Warner is quick to rock back and pulls it wide of long-on, that's a real gift from Narine

3.5 - M Morkel to Warner, FOUR, aggression from Warner! That's a flat hit, Morkel dropped one short and just outside off, Warner makes room and slaps it over extra cover, almost went all the way, bounces just in front of the ad cushions, another boundary for Warner

3.1 - M Morkel to Dhawan, FOUR, cracking shot, hint of width from Morkel, the length was a little short as well, Dhawan opens the face of the bat and steers it square behind point, no chance for third man

2.2 - J Botha to Warner, FOUR, that's an excellent shot, good use of the feet from Warner, comes down the track, makes room outside leg and goes inside out over extra cover, just one bounce and over the rope for a boundary

1.3 - M Morkel to Warner, FOUR, nicely played and that's the first boundary of the HYD innings, too short and on Warner's hips, he rolls his wrists, uses the bottom hand and whips it behind square on the on-side for a boundary

19.1 - U Yadav to N Ojha, SIX, monster hit! Length ball right in the arc for Ojha, he clears his front leg and sends it sailing over long-on for a maximum. That went a long distance

17.4 - U Yadav to N Ojha, SIX, fabulous shot! Ojha didn't try to overhit, he used the pace of Yadav and helped himself for a maximum. It was a 143.2kph length delivery on the pads, Ojha gets inside the line and whips it behind square for a maximum

13.2 - Narine to Warner, SIX, the conventional sweep! It was flighted on middle, Warner goes down on one knee and dispatches the slog sweep over wide long-on. It is his 4th six of the innings and he looks set for a ton

11.4 - Chawla to Dhawan, SIX, massive! Dhawan who was biding his time decides to take on Chawla, he kneels down and slog sweeps over deep mid-wicket for his first maximum. That went a long way into the crowd

10.3 - Narine to Warner, SIX, for a moment Warner would have thought that he picked out the fielder, but he cleared him with ease. It was a short delivery around off, Warner pulls but doesn't middle it, but the ball has enough to clear the long-on fielder

9.3 - U Yadav to Warner, SIX, this is poor bowling from Yadav, he's bowling to Warner's strengths, bangs one short and wide outside off, Warner gets on top of the bounce and upper-cuts it high and over third man, brings up his fifty as well

8.1 - Y Pathan to Warner, SIX, massive, length ball from Pathan, Warner gets underneath the length and hoists it high and over the sightscreen, first six of the day

19.2 - U Yadav to N Ojha, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Yadav has his man after being hit for a six. The umpires check for a no-ball. Is there something behind the line? It is touch-and-go. The third umpire thinks it is fine and gives the marching orders for Ojha. A well directed yorker, Ojha makes room and fails to squeeze it out, the off-stump gets uprooted. That was bowled at 143.1kph. N Ojha b U Yadav 18(8) [4s-1 6s-2]

18.3 - A Russell to Dhawan, out Caught by J Botha!! KOL just pulling things back. Dhawan goes after a well paced innings. It was full and in the slot, Dhawan does not go through with the shot, he just punches it in the air straight down the throat of long-off, Botha takes it comfortably. Dhawan c J Botha b A Russell 54(46) [4s-4 6s-1]

16.1 - M Morkel to Bopara, out Caught by J Botha!! Soft dismissal! The ploy to promote Bopara up the order hasn't worked for HYD. It was a harmless full delivery just outside off, Bopara doesn't bother to keep the drive along the ground, hits it straight to cover and Botha takes an easy catch. Bopara c J Botha b M Morkel 2(4)

14.2 - M Morkel to Warner, out Caught by Uthappa!! A fantastic innings comes to an end. He misses out on a hundred. Nevertheless, he has done his job. The platform has been set for the final assault. It was a short of length delivery angled across off, Warner went for the pull, didn't get it anywhere close to the middle, the ball skies towards short fine, Robin calls for it and takes it calmly. Warner c Uthappa b M Morkel 91(55) [4s-9 6s-4]

18.0 - U Yadav to Dhawan, 1 run, Dhawan brings up his 20th T20 League fifty. It has been an unusual innings from Dhawan. Again, the length is slightly short, Dhawan goes back and mistimes the pull to deep square leg

11.3 - Chawla to Warner, 1 run, shortish and outside off, Warner flat-batted it to long-off

7.0 - Y Pathan to Dhawan, 1 run, Pathan drifts one across Dhawan, he presses forward and eases it past cover for a single

11.4 - Bhuvneshwar to M Pandey, FOUR, a full toss outside off, Pandey leans forward and slices it past a leaping backward point, who put his right hand out to try and stop it. The ball though escapes past him and runs away to the deep backward point fence

8.4 - Bopara to A Russell, FOUR, Bopara drops this one slightly short and Russell heaves it to the right of the fielder at deep mid-wicket, another boundary for the Jamaican

6.5 - Steyn to M Pandey, FOUR, what a great shot! Steyn tries to bowl the yorker but offers a widish full toss outside off, Pandey just opens the face of the bat and guides it to the squarish third man fence. That was very well played

6.4 - Steyn to M Pandey, FOUR, Steyn bangs this one short as well, Pandey gets on top of the bounce and pulls it wide of long-on, the fielder in the deep runs across to his right but he had no chance of stopping that

3.2 - P Kumar to Uthappa, FOUR, full delivery tailing in on the stumps, Uthappa leans forward and takes it on the full, he wristily works it behind square on the on-side and the ball runs away to the fence in no time

1.3 - Bhuvneshwar to Uthappa, FOUR, good use of the wrists there from Uthappa and it is the first boundary for KOL, it was angling in on off, Uthappa goes across and clips it wide of mid-on, who had no chance of stopping that

7.5 - Bipul Sharma to A Russell, SIX, comes charging down the track and Bipul bowls it quicker and on his pads, Russell picks it up from there and deposits it over the deep mid-wicket fence, brilliant adjustment from him there

7.4 - Bipul Sharma to A Russell, SIX, pure power from Russell. He goes down on one knee and slog sweeps it over the deep mid-wicket fence, the ball went miles and hits the giant screen. It was a mishit nevertheless but it still carried over the rope, such it the power of this man

5.3 - Henriques to M Pandey, SIX, what a strike from Pandey! It was a short delivery from Henriques and Pandey took full toll of it, he muscles the pull over the deep mid-wicket fence and it went way into the crowd

3.1 - P Kumar to Uthappa, SIX, brilliant wristwork from Uthappa, he goes across to this length delivery on off, he just wristily flicks it over the deep mid-wicket fence. The timing on that shot was simply superb

2.2 - Steyn to Uthappa, SIX, what a shot! Uthappa uses the pace of Steyn and what timing from him! It was angling in on middle stump line, Uthappa goes across and gets inside the line of the ball, he flicks it over the deep square leg fielder and the ball carries the distance. Steyn was unhappy with the fielder as he was well inside the rope there

11.2 - Bhuvneshwar to Y Pathan, out Caught by Karn Sharma!! Pathan perishes trying to go big over the off-side and that is surely the game for HYD. It was a low full toss outside off, Pathan went for the inside-out loft over cover, but ends up hitting it straight to Karn standing at extra cover. He takes an easy catch to send Pathan on his way back. Y Pathan c Karn Sharma b Bhuvneshwar 6(7)

8.5 - Bopara to A Russell, out Caught by Steyn!! Russell departs after a good little cameo. It was full and on the stumps, Russell goes for the big loft over long-on but fails to clear the fielder there. Steyn takes it calmly near the rope. Russell looks at the toe-end of the bat after playing that shot. It was the back-of-the-hand slower ball from Bopara and that's what fooled Russell there. A Russell c Steyn b Bopara 19(10) [4s-1 6s-2]

5.5 - Henriques to Uthappa, out Caught by P Kumar!! Lucky break for HYD as Uthappa holes out to Praveen. This is a big wicket for the Hyderabad. It was full and angling in on off and middle, Uthappa goes across and looks to flick it past short fine leg, but he ends up giving a simple catch to Praveen there. Either side of the fielder and it would have been a boundary, but it was not meant to be. Praveen throws the ball up in delight. Uthappa c P Kumar b Henriques 34(21) [4s-2 6s-2]

3.4 - P Kumar to Gambhir, out Bowled!! Gambhir is gone! Praveen strikes and KOL lose their captain. He makes up for his dropped chance of Gambhir with this wicket. It was a low full toss on the stumps, Gambhir went for the slog, but gets an inside edge that crashes into the leg stump. HYD needed this breakthrough and after those two dropped chances, it will bring them some relief. Gambhir b P Kumar 4(8)

2.1 - Steyn to Gambhir, 1 run, ohh dear! What is wrong with HYD? Another dropped chance and this time Praveen is the culprit. It was short and slightly wide outside off, Gambhir slashes hard and gets an outside edge that was going straight into the hands of Praveen at third man, but the ball pops out as he was bending forward, Steyn is not a happy man

0.3 - Steyn to Uthappa, 1 run, dropped! How much is this drop going to cost HYD? It was a back of a length delivery outside off, Uthappa pokes at it away from his body and gets an outside edge. The ball was travelling to Dhawan at first slip, but Rahul from second slip tries to get across and shells it down, Dhawan tries taking it as the ball lobbed up off Rahul's hands, but he can't get there even though he puts in the dive, Uthappa survives and the batsmen take a single
