4.3 - R More to Dhawan, FOUR, lovely shot! Fuller just outside off, Dhawan gets a good stride forward and caresses the drive through extra cover, if Baz can't chase it down, then nobody could have. That was sweetly timed

3.4 - Nehra to Warner, FOUR, Warner is on fire. He is dealing in boundaries at the moment. Not all that short, but Warner goes back and pulls it wide of mid-on, he didn't middle it, the ball beats the desperate dive from Bravo and races away

3.3 - Nehra to Warner, FOUR, smashed! He has literally hit the cover off the ball. Pitched up just outside off, not a delivery that deserved four, but Warner stays leg-side and drills to the left of mid-off, Faf had no chance of stopping that

3.0 - Mohit Sharma to Warner, FOUR, sensational timing! That looked good for a couple, but raced away to the fence. Too straight from Mohit, on middle and leg, Warner flicks it through mid-wicket, Bravo gives chase but the ball keeps going away from him. A very expensive over, 22 runs came off it

2.5 - Mohit Sharma to Warner, FOUR, wow! What a shot from the HYD skipper. Back of a length delivery just outside off, Warner has his weight on the back foot, punches it in the air to the left of mid-off, he placed it to perfection. That came right off the meat of the bat. A very difficult shot to play against a fast bowler

2.2 - Mohit Sharma to Warner, FOUR, Mohit changed the angle to tuck the batsman, but Warner is up to the task. He charges down the wicket, lifts the short of length delivery over extra cover, got plenty of wood as it almost went the distance

8.2 - Raina to Henriques, SIX, oh dear! No sighters for Henriques. He races down the wicket, gets to the pitch of the flighted delivery, lofts it handsomely over long-on. That went a long distance. He has come out with purpose

16.3 - Bhuvneshwar to Negi, out Bowled!! Castled! It is a sea of orange at the ground. HYD slowly inch closer to victory. A perfect yorker from Bhuvi, right on the base of middle stump, Negi moves away to the leg-side, can't bring his bat down in time to keep it out, middle and leg is uprooted. Negi b Bhuvneshwar 15(11) [4s-1 6s-1]

12.5 - Ashish Reddy to Dhoni, out Bowled!! Is that the game? Reddy has changed the complexion of the game in two deliveries. He takes off on a celebratory run after scalping the CHN skipper. It was a back of the hand slower delivery on the stumps, might have kept a tad low, Dhoni couldn't get his bat down in time, the ball sneaks under it and crashes into middle stump. Dhoni gives an expression that said the ball stayed low. Dhoni b Ashish Reddy 20(16) [4s-2]

12.4 - Ashish Reddy to Dhoni, out du Plessis Run Out!! Unfortunate way to get out. Dhoni is not happy with the way Faf got out. He keeps shaking his head even as Faf makes his way back to the pavilion. Full toss on the stumps, Dhoni hits it straight back at Faf, who is not able to get out of the way, the ball deflects off his left-arm and hits the umpire, who was late in moving away. du Plessis didn't know where the ball was and went for the single, Reddy runs back, picks the ball and under-arms it onto the stumps. Faf is well short of the crease. If the umpire had not come in the way, the ball would have rolled towards mid-off. du Plessis run out (Ashish Reddy) 33(22) [4s-4]

7.4 - Henriques to Raina, out Caught by Eoin Morgan!! Catching practice for Morgan at long-off! This was full and in that channel outside off, Raina was looking to go back over the bowler's head, the bat turned slightly on impact, he ends up slicing it high and down the throat of Morgan at long-off. Second wicket for Henriques, this has been an useful hand with the ball. Raina c Eoin Morgan b Henriques 23(15) [6s-3]

5.1 - Henriques to Dwayne Smith, out Caught by Vihari!! That's a crucial strike for HYD. Henriques strikes first ball, this was a length delivery outside off, Smith went for the swipe over mid-wicket, gets a top-edge and over mid-wicket. Vihari runs forward from the deep, keeps his eyes on the ball and completes a good catch. CHN have lost both their dangerous openers. Dwayne Smith c Vihari b Henriques 21(19) [4s-3 6s-1]

1.5 - Bhuvneshwar to Brendon McCullum, out Bowled!! Chopped on! Bhuvneshwar is on his celebratory run. This was short and angled back into McCullum, he was cramped for room as he hopped across, gets a bottom edge and the ball deflects onto the off-stump. A disconsolate McCullum walks away, CHN have lost an early wicket. Brendon McCullum b Bhuvneshwar 12(5) [4s-3]

10.0 - Henriques to du Plessis, no run, du Plessis could have been dismissed twice! An absolute snorter from Henriques, spat up from a length, du Plessis was taken by suprise as he fended at that, the ball looped in the air and fell in front of short third man. The running was a shambles, both wanted a single and both had to hurry back. The fielder shies at the striker's end and misses, du Plessis survives
