17.4 - Johnson to Ashish Reddy, FOUR, lovely shot! A calculated hit from Reddy. Full delivery on off, Reddy backs away to the leg-side and punches it over mid-off, he got the elevation to clear the fielder

16.1 - A Patel to Henriques, FOUR, good use of the feet, Henriques advances down the wicket to the flatter delivery, smashes it over the non-striker's head, long-on ran to his left but to just fetch the ball

15.5 - Anureet Singh to N Ojha, FOUR, second four of the over. Anureet experimenting too much, bowls it short and on the stumps, Ojha pulls it behind square leg, fine leg was inside the ring and the fielder in the deep was square

15.3 - Anureet Singh to N Ojha, FOUR, super shot! A much needed boundary for HYD. Full and just outside off, Ojha moves away towards the leg-side and smacks it inside out over extra cover, no chance for the fielder in the deep

12.1 - R Dhawan to N Ojha, FOUR, for a moment everybody thought Ojha hit it straight to the fielder. On a length just outside off, Ojha pushes it on-the-up, it was in the air for a while but wide of the cover fielder, he beat mid-off as well who dived in vain

9.1 - A Patel to Warner, FOUR, that's nicely done by Warner, Patel fires one short and well down leg-side, Warner gets down on his knees, uses the pace on the ball and helps it very fine and into the fence

5.5 - Anureet Singh to Vihari, FOUR, Vihari is showing his class! On a good length and just outside off, Vihari presents a straight bat, high elbows and lofts it through the line, clears mid-on and races away to the fence in a hurry

5.1 - Anureet Singh to Vihari, FOUR, Vihari joins the act! On a good length and just outside off, Vihari leans into the cover drive and caresses it past cover-point, the ball races away to the fence in a hurry

5.0 - Sandeep Sharma to Warner, FOUR, that's a poor ball from Sandeep, can't bowl short with his pace, Warner swivels across, rolls his wrists and pulls it to the left of mid-wicket, beat the diving fielder and races away to the fence

4.4 - Sandeep Sharma to Warner, FOUR, cracking shot, Warner is looking in exquisite touch, fraction full and just outside off, Warner leans forward and caresses it through extra cover, once it beat the man at mid-off, there was no need to chase it

4.3 - Sandeep Sharma to Warner, FOUR, Warner is looking in gorgeous touch, Sandeep shortens his length on off, Warner makes room and lofts it back over the bowler's head, a couple of bounces and over the ropes

4.1 - Sandeep Sharma to Warner, FOUR, that's a screamer! A rare loose delivery from Sandeep, half-volley outside off, Warner leans into the drive and drills it past the diving extra cover fielder, another boundary for Warner

3.3 - Johnson to Warner, FOUR, this is the best of the lot, fraction fuller and around the off-stump line, Warner presses forward, presents the full face of the bat and pushes it past mid-on, the timing is sweet and the ball races away to the fence

3.1 - Johnson to Warner, FOUR, that's smashed away! Some width on offer from Johnson, Warner stays back and cracks it in front of square on the off-side, beats cover and the ball races away to the fence in a jiffy

2.4 - Sandeep Sharma to Warner, FOUR, lovely shot, first runs off Sandeep, fraction short in length and just outside off, Warner stays back and punches it with a straight bat, the timing is sublime and he gets it through the gap between cover and mid-off

1.3 - Johnson to Warner, FOUR, much better from Warner, fraction fuller and just outside off, Warner leans forward and punches it up and over extra cover. Johnson already under pressure

1.2 - Johnson to Warner, FOUR, nice way to get going, Warner makes his intentions clear, charges down the track, Johnson shortens the length, Warner swings hard and gets a thick edge over the lone slip

19.5 - Sandeep Sharma to Ashish Reddy, SIX, back-to-back sixes. The slower delivery, leg-cutter just outside off, Reddy bends his knee and hammers it over long-on. That went a long way into the crowd, in the second tier

19.4 - Sandeep Sharma to Ashish Reddy, SIX, Sandeep misses the yorker length and Reddy sends it into the crowd. A length delivery in the slot, Reddy clears his front leg and tonks it over long-on

3.2 - Johnson to Warner, SIX, Warner is leading the counter punch for HYD, this was banged in short as Warner made room outside leg, Warner throws the kitchen sink at that, gets a thick edge that just about bounces over the ropes at third man, the first six of the innings

19.2 - Sandeep Sharma to Henriques, out Bowled!! Cleaned him up. Henriques tried to be cheeky and paid the price. He walks across his stumps and tries to scoop the ball, Sandeep stays calm and targets the stumps, hits timber even as Henriques falls over on the shot. HYD's innings going nowhere in the death overs. Henriques b Sandeep Sharma 30(32) [4s-1]

17.2 - Johnson to Bopara, out Caught by W Saha!! Soft, soft dismissal. Bopara goes without troubling the scorers. It was a slower short ball, Bopara wanted to guide it to third man, the ball takes the outside edge and lobs to Saha. HYD losing steam in the final overs once again. Bopara c W Saha b Johnson 0(2)

16.4 - A Patel to N Ojha, out Caught by D Miller!! Axar picks up his second and HYD lose a wicket just when they started to get the momentum. Again, Axar fires it full and on middle, Ojha manages to get under it, lofts it to long-on, but the big boundaries at Mohali don't help his cause, Miller takes a simple catch. N Ojha c D Miller b A Patel 28(26) [4s-3]

9.5 - A Patel to Warner, out Caught by D Miller !! That's a soft dismissal for Warner! Nicely bowled by Patel, he held this one back as Warner came down the track, he had to reach out for the chip, as always, timed it superbly and ends up finding Miller at long-on. A good innings has been cut short, HYD have lost their captain now. Warner c D Miller b A Patel 58(41) [4s-10 6s-1]

6.0 - Anureet Singh to Vihari, out Caught by Vohra!! After a couple of gorgeous shots, Vihari falls to an awful looking swipe. This was short and well outside off, Vihari was looking to play the pull, he had to fetch it from well outside off, the timing goes awry, the bat face turned in his hands and he only manages to lob it towards mid-wicket. Vohra runs back and completes the catch. Vihari c Vohra b Anureet Singh 9(8) [4s-2]

1.5 - Johnson to Dhawan, out Caught by Vijay!! Dhawan is walking! Early strike by Johnson, PUN needed this wicket. This was banged in short and just outside off, Dhawan was swivelling across on the pull, plays his shot a fraction too early, the ball lobs of the top-edge of the bat and loops towards first slip, off the helmet. Vijay doesn't drop those, a rare failure for Dhawan in this T20 League. Dhawan c Vijay b Johnson 1(2)

15.1 - Anureet Singh to N Ojha, 1 run, two lives in two balls for Ojha. Another difficult catch that. Full and on the stumps, Ojha drills the drive in the air back to the bowler, Anureet had very less time to react, he sticks his left hand out and parries it to long-off

15.0 - A Patel to N Ojha, 1 run, dropped! It was a very tough chance though. Fires it full and on the stumps, Ojha backs away to the leg-side and hammers it back to the bowler, Axar dives to his left and gets a hand to it, but couldn't hang on. It was also very low

15.2 - Anureet Singh to Henriques, 1 run, pitched up just outside off, Henriques drives it to extra cover, Miller dives and stops the ball, then fires a throw at the bowler's end, Henriques was struggling had that hit the stumps. He took it a tad easy

8.2 - Vijay to Warner, 2 runs, wide full toss from Vijay, Warner reaches out and carves it past extra cover, gets back for the second run, raises his fifty as well

17.5 - Boult to W Saha, FOUR, superb shot! That shot has Tom Moody out of his seat, he comes out and has a word with Warner. It was a very full delivery, Saha shuffles across and scoops it to the left of the keeper, he got into a tangle but managed to get it away

16.3 - P Kumar to W Saha, FOUR, Saha turning it on at Mohali. He makes room, Praveen bowls a full toss just outside off, Saha manages to lift it over extra cover, no one to stop the ball from reaching the fence

8.1 - Karn Sharma to D Miller, FOUR, that's powerfully swept by Miller, gets down on his knees, takes this ball from well outside off, rolls his wrists and bisects the two men in the deep for a boundary

5.5 - P Kumar to Bailey, FOUR, this is good aggressive batting from Bailey, fraction too short from Praveen, Bailey was quick to rock back and pulls it over mid-wicket, no need to run for those

5.3 - P Kumar to Bailey, FOUR, lovely shot, width on offer from Praveen, Bailey waits on it, gets on top of the bounce and cracks it square on the off-side for a boundary

5.1 - P Kumar to Bailey, FOUR, that's a gentle loosener from Praveen, short and just outside off, Bailey swivels across and helps it behind square, the man in the deep is very square and the ball beats him to the fence

1.1 - Bhuvneshwar to Vohra, FOUR, nicely played by Vohra, comes down the track, covers for the swing and goes over cover, the timing is sweet and the ball races away to the fence

16.0 - Bhuvneshwar to W Saha, SIX, once more PUN end the over with a six. Bhuvi was excellent till the last ball, but bowls a half tracker, Saha rocks back and pulls it over deep mid-wicket. The last couple of overs has got the crowd alive

15.0 - Henriques to A Patel, SIX, Axar ends the over with a maximum. Another slower ball from Henriques, but he drags it short this time, Axar goes back and pulls it to wide long-on, the ball had enough to clear the rope

19.3 - P Kumar to Anureet Singh, out Caught by Warner!! HYD cruising towards victory now. Praveen also has a wicket to his name. A full toss just outside off, Anureet tries to get underneath, mistimes the loft to long-off, Warner runs forward and snaffles a good low catch. The HYD skipper has been superb in the field. Anureet Singh c Warner b P Kumar 0(2)

18.5 - Bhuvneshwar to R Dhawan, out Lbw!! PUN falling apart. Another brilliant delivery from Bhuvi. It was the yorker on the stumps, Dhawan shuffles across and tries the scoop, misses and is struck on the boot in front of off and middle. Umpire Dharmasena raises his finger and gives the marching orders. R Dhawan lbw b Bhuvneshwar 4(6)

18.0 - Boult to W Saha, out Caught by P Kumar!! Is that the match? The umpires are checking for a front foot no-ball. It is looking touch-and-go. It is a tough one for the third umpire. He is having a very close look. This can be a game-changer. The TV umpire is taking plenty of time and he has made the decision in favour of HYD. They seem to be a happy bunch now. Boult has changed the complexion of the game in just one over. He has got rid of both set batsmen. Short delivery on the body, Saha is hurried on the pull, gets it high on the bat and offers a simple catch to Praveen at square leg. The third umpire saw the front-on replay and made the decision, that replay showed that Boult had some part behind the line, might be a millimeter. W Saha c P Kumar b Boult 42(33) [4s-2 6s-1]

17.1 - Boult to A Patel, out Bowled!! And that's that. The partnership has been broken. Boult was brought back to break the stand and he does just that. A very good yorker, Axar moves to the leg-side, is beaten for pace, the ball crashes into the base of middle-stump. Do PUN still have the firepower to win? A Patel b Boult 17(13) [6s-1]

12.2 - Karn Sharma to D Miller, out Caught by Boult!! Huge wicket and that might be the match for HYD. Karn who has bowled superbly, deserved that wicket. Flighted just outside off, Miller dances down the wicket and miscues the loft, Boult steadies himself at long-off and takes it comfortably. He got a leading edge as he looked to play across the line and that's why he was not able to time it. D Miller c Boult b Karn Sharma 15(14) [4s-1]

8.2 - Karn Sharma to D Miller, out Vijay Run Out!! 1 run completed. Silence at Mohali, the crowd is shell-shocked, Vijay looks back at his partner in disappointment. This was flighted and just outside off, Miller nudged it in front of mid-wicket and set off. He shouted two two at his partner as he ran across Vijay, completes the first and turns back for the second, realises that Vihari has the ball in his hands and sends his partner back. Vijay was committed for the second, was half-way down the track and is left stranded as the throw arrived at the keeper. PUN have lost their fourth wicket and are in deep trouble now. Vijay run out (Vihari/N Ojha) 12(16)

7.3 - Henriques to Bailey, out Caught by Karn Sharma!! Bailey has thrown his wicket away! This is poor cricket from the PUN skipper. This was pitched up and held its line outside off, Bailey was looking to go over mid-off, slices it slightly, Karn moves across to his left and completes a good catch. Bailey is disconsolate as he walks off. Timely wicket for HYD. Bailey c Karn Sharma b Henriques 22(16) [4s-3]

3.1 - Bhuvneshwar to S Marsh, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! HYD are on fire, but this is a poor shot from Marsh. This was pitched up in that corridor outside off and shaped away slightly, Marsh was looking to dab it towards third man with an angled bat, gets a thick inside edge and the leg-stump is sent cart-wheeling. PUN have lost their second wicket now. S Marsh b Bhuvneshwar 1(4)

2.2 - Boult to Vohra, out Bowled!! Dragged on! Vohra's first hit in T20 League8 is a flop. This was very full and wide outside off, Vohra was looking to play the cover drive, bent his knees and reached out for the shot, a tad late though, gets a thick inside edge and the ball cannons back onto the leg-stump. Vohra inspects the wreckage behind him and walks away disappointed. Vohra b Boult 5(9) [4s-1]

14.4 - Henriques to W Saha, 2 runs, dropped! That would have been a terrific catch had he taken it. Short and on the stumps, Saha swivels and pulls it to deep square leg, Bopara runs forward, dives and spills it. The ball hit his hands and popped out
