19.5 - Sandeep Sharma to Rahul, FOUR, super shot! That was a good delivery and didn't deserve a boundary. Full ball just short of yorker length, Rahul backs away, opens the bat face and steers it fine, got it wide of the keeper and got four

16.4 - Anureet Singh to Warner, FOUR, horrible bowling from Anureet. Another full toss, much higher and closer to the batsman, Warner makes room and lofts it between deep extra cover and long-off. No chance for the fielder in the deep

16.3 - Anureet Singh to Warner, FOUR, Anureet misses the yorker and has been dispatched. It was a full toss outside off, Warner first did well to reach for that, hammers it over extra cover, just lands before the ad cushions. The TV umpire checks and confirms it as four

14.4 - Maxwell to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, brilliant batting. This is my favorite. Maxwell not afraid to toss it up, Morgan stays leg-side of the ball and lofts it handsomely over extra cover, couple of bounces and into the fence. He is in some mood today

12.0 - Maxwell to Henriques, FOUR, Saha is not with happy with himself. Was that a chance? Need a replay to confirm that. Angled across the right-hander, Henriques looks to swipe it across the line, might have got an under-edge that goes between Saha's legs. Tough to call it a drop

9.4 - Beuran Hendricks to Henriques, FOUR, edged and four, width on offer from Hendricks, Henriques looks to drive and gets a thick edge through the vacant slip region. Gurkeerat decides against the dive at third man and allows the boundary

9.1 - Beuran Hendricks to Henriques, FOUR, exceptional cricket from Henriques, it wasn't a bad ball by any stretch, full and following Henriques as he backed away, he manages to get his bat under it and flicks it behind square on the on-side for a boundary

8.0 - Gurkeerat Singh to Warner, FOUR, poor ball from Gurkeerat, dropped it short and on the stumps, Warner rocks back and pulls it wide of long-on, no chance for the fielder getting across from deep mid-wicket

7.1 - Gurkeerat Singh to Henriques, FOUR, Gurkeerat Singh drops one short as Henriques came down the track, pulled away over mid-wicket, one bounce and over the ropes for a boundary

4.2 - Gurkeerat Singh to Warner, FOUR, Gurkeerat Singh dropped one short and well outside off as Warner came down the track, cracked away square on the off-side for a boundary

3.2 - Beuran Hendricks to Dhawan, FOUR, edged and four, back of a length and well outside off, Dhawan looks to cut, gets a thick edge and the ball races away past the lone slip, third man is pretty square and the ball races away to the fence

3.1 - Beuran Hendricks to Dhawan, FOUR, lovely shot, gentle start from Hendricks, offers a long half-volley and well outside off, Dhawan leans into the drive and threads it through the gap past cover-point

2.4 - Sandeep Sharma to Dhawan, FOUR, cracking shot, width on offer from Sandeep, Dhawan comes down the track, makes room and slaps it past cover, no need to run for those

2.3 - Sandeep Sharma to Dhawan, FOUR, too straight from Sandeep, he doesn't have anyone behind square on the on-side, Dhawan waits on it and nudges it away very fine, the ball races away to the fence in a jiffy

2.0 - Anureet Singh to Warner, FOUR, Anureet overcompensates and bowls one full and wide outside off, Warner throws his bat at that and sends it screaming past extra cover for a boundary

1.2 - Anureet Singh to Warner, FOUR, that's easy pickings for Warner, fraction short and just outside off, Warner swivels across and muscles it over mid-on, a couple of bounces and over the ropes

19.1 - Sandeep Sharma to Karn Sharma, SIX, freebie from Sandeep to start the last over. Full toss around off, Karn clears his front leg and sends it soaring over the long-on fence for a maximum

19.0 - Anureet Singh to Rahul, SIX, poor delivery to end the over. Nice juicy full toss, it was at a good height, Rahul heaves it over deep mid-wicket. It went a long way, landed in the second tier. I guess the biggest six of tonight

14.3 - Maxwell to Eoin Morgan, SIX, lovely shot! Flighted delivery right in the slot, Morgan plants his foot forward and goes through the line, smacks it back over the bowler's head. This went further than the previous one

14.2 - Maxwell to Eoin Morgan, SIX, off the mark in style. Morgan has come out with a positive mindset. Slightly tossed up, Morgan takes a step out of the crease, gets to the pitch of the ball and lofts it over long-off, just clears the rope

13.1 - Gurkeerat Singh to Warner, SIX, that's utter rubbish from Gurkeerat. High full toss, that was a freebie, Warner cashes in as he hoicks it comfortably over deep mid-wicket for a maximum. That ball hit the giant screen and has caused some problem

12.5 - A Patel to Warner, SIX, Warner has decided it is time to go. Quicker, fuller and in the slot, Warner clears his front leg and heaves it over long-on, Miller runs to his left and watches the ball sail over him

12.2 - A Patel to Warner, SIX, what a shot! Warner reaches yet another fifty in this T20 League. Flatter and outside off, he backs away to the leg-side and lofts it over extra cover off the back foot, it went flat and over the rope. A very difficult shot that

3.4 - Beuran Hendricks to Warner, SIX, this is easy pickings for Warner, fraction short and just outside off, Warner rocks back and pulls it high and over deep mid-wicket for a maximum. Superb start this for HYD

1.5 - Anureet Singh to Warner, SIX, lovely shot, poor ball from Anureet, dropped it halfway down the track, Warner is quick to rock back and pulls it high and over mid-wicket for a maximum

17.2 - Beuran Hendricks to Rahul, out N Ojha Run Out!! Two wickets in two balls for PUN and they are pulling things back. Good length ball on the stumps, Rahul knocks it towards short mid-wicket, Bailey collects the ball and under-arms a throw at the bowler's end, Ojha was backing up and couldn't get back in even with a dive. N Ojha run out (Bailey) 2(3)

17.1 - Beuran Hendricks to Warner, out Caught by Gurkeerat Singh!! A hundred missed! He had a very good chance of joining Baz, Gayle and ABD in the hundreds list. Low full toss around off, Warner goes deep in the crease and toe-ends the flick to mid-wicket, easy catch to Gurkeerat. The HYD skipper was very disappointed with himself, was on his knee for a while before walking back. Warner c Gurkeerat Singh b Beuran Hendricks 81(52) [4s-6 6s-5]

15.2 - Beuran Hendricks to Eoin Morgan, out Caught by Vohra!! That is unlucky. Another shot that was timed well, but its towards a fielder. Length delivery on the stumps, Morgan leans forward and plays the pick-up shot, middles it well and hits it to deep backward square, Vohra runs to his left, dives full length and takes an excellent low catch. Morgan's cameo has been cut short. Eoin Morgan c Vohra b Beuran Hendricks 17(7) [4s-1 6s-2]

13.4 - Gurkeerat Singh to Henriques, out Caught by Anureet Singh!! Well judged catch from Anureet. Henriques had struck it well and would have been a six in some of the grounds. Gurkeerat drags the length back, Henriques advances down the wicket and pulls to deep mid-wicket, the ball was sailing over Anureet, who stood inches in front of the ad cushions and takes it over his head. A much needed wicket for PUN. Henriques c Anureet Singh b Gurkeerat Singh 28(24) [4s-4]

6.1 - Maxwell to Dhawan, out Stumped!! Dhawan has run past the ball, easy stumping for Saha. This was tossed up from round the wicket, Dhawan came down the track, the ball dipped on him and spun across the batsman, Dhawan can't lay his bat on that, he was miles down the track and Saha effects a simple stumping. A much needed wicket for PUN, the opening partnership was threatening to take this game away. Dhawan st W Saha b Maxwell 24(18) [4s-4]

12.3 - A Patel to Warner, 1 run, shortish and just outside off, Warner pulls on the bounce to long-on

5.2 - Anureet Singh to Dhawan, 1 run, a direct hit would have found Dhawan short, short of a length and just outside off, Dhawan punched it to the right of Maxwell at cover and called for a quick single, he had to run around the bowler, lost a lot of time in the process, the throw misses the stumps and Dhawan survives

19.4 - Ishant to D Miller, FOUR, well, well, well. Miller is turning it on. Full toss outside off, Miller slashes hard, he gave it his all and the outside edge beat the desperate dive from short third man. Ishant was down on the floor after delivering the ball

17.1 - Boult to A Patel, FOUR, good start to the over. Pitched up on the stumps, Axar presents the full face of the bat and lofts it back over Miller's head, no chance for the long-on fielder to stop that

15.5 - Ishant to A Patel, FOUR, nice shot! The off-speed delivery on middle, Axar spotted it early, lofts it straight down the ground, it almost went the distance, landed just in front of the ad cushions

15.2 - Ishant to D Miller, FOUR, poor delivery with the fine leg inside the ring. Short and down leg, Miller swivels and helps it on its way, got it wide of short fine and adds four more to his total

7.2 - Boult to Maxwell, FOUR, width on offer from Boult, Maxwell stays behind the line and cracks it in front of square on the off-side. Morgan gets across from sweeper cover, but the ball beats him to the fence

4.2 - Bipul Sharma to Vohra, FOUR, lovely shot, this was tossed up and well outside off, Vohra presses forward, goes inside out over extra cover, one bounce and over the ropes

3.5 - Ishant to Vijay, FOUR, Vijay is dealing in edges and fours! This was short and just outside off, Vijay was once again late on the pull, gets the top-edge that flies over the keeper and into the fence

3.0 - Bhuvneshwar to Vijay, FOUR, top-edge and four, lucky runs for Vijay, this was short and climbing onto the batsman, Vijay was late on the pull, gets a fat top-edge that flies past the keeper and into the fence

2.1 - Bhuvneshwar to Vohra, FOUR, Bhuvneshwar loses his line as well, too short and on Vohra's hips, flicked away behind square on the on-side. The long leg was inside the ring, no chance for deep square leg

2.0 - Boult to Vijay, FOUR, Boult hasn't got his line right, too straight and on Vijay's pads, he gets inside the line and tucks it very fine. 16 from Boult's first over

1.2 - Boult to Vijay, FOUR, cracking shot, Boult keeps it full and gets it to swing back into Vijay, he gets his left leg away and flicks it past mid-on for a boundary

20.0 - Ishant to D Miller, SIX, HYD overcome a Miller onslaught to register a 5-run win. Poor over from Ishant. Another full toss just outside off, Miller goes down on his knee, tonks it over long-on for the third six of the over

19.2 - Ishant to D Miller, SIX, Miller keeping up with the asking rate. Consecutive sixes for him. Full toss outside off, Miller goes off-side, smashes it inside out over extra cover, that went a long way

19.1 - Ishant to D Miller, SIX, just the start PUN wanted. Length delivery in the slot, Miller gets his front leg out of the way and hammers it over long-on. It went flat and well over the rope

18.3 - Bhuvneshwar to D Miller, SIX, fantastic hitting! The HYD fans are nervous now. Bhuvi bowls a full length ball on off, Miller bends his knee to get under that, toe-ends the loft over long-off. The ball went over the rope even though it was not middled

17.5 - Boult to D Miller, SIX, costly over for HYD. The game is not over yet. Boult doesn't get the yorker right, bowls a full toss on the stumps, Miller gets under that and heaves it wide of long-on, got plenty of height and just about clear the rope

17.3 - Boult to D Miller, SIX, drops the slower ball short, there was no one sweeping on the off-side, Miller makes a bit of room and smashes it over cover-point. The ball lands on the ad cushions. So, the six brings up Miller's 8th T20 League fifty

16.5 - Bhuvneshwar to D Miller, SIX, that's out of here. Bhuvneshwar misses the yorker, bowls a length delivery, Miller sends it into the stands over long-on. That was a 96 metre six

13.4 - Karn Sharma to D Miller, SIX, second six of the over. PUN are in the game till Miller is there. Floated up on the stumps, Miller kneels down and slog sweeps it over deep mid-wicket. Though it was not off the meat, the power of Miller took it over the rope comfortably

13.1 - Karn Sharma to D Miller, SIX, lovely shot! Great use of the feet. It was the wrong 'un on middle and leg, Miller dances down the wicket and lofts it handsomely over long-on, cleared the fielder with ease

7.0 - Bipul Sharma to Maxwell, SIX, that's much better from Maxwell, comes down the track, gets to the pitch of the ball and swings it through the line, clears long-off with ease for his first six

3.3 - Ishant to Vohra, SIX, that's some timing from Vohra, too full and on his pads, he gets inside the line and whips it behind square on the on-side, clears the ropes for a maximum

1.1 - Boult to Vijay, SIX, that's a nice way to greet Boult, length ball and on the stumps, Vijay gets half forward and clips it high and behind square, has enough to clear the fence at long leg

19.0 - Bhuvneshwar to A Patel, out Caught by N Ojha!! The orange flags are out once again. Axar perishes after a good knock. Full delivery outside off, Axar shuffles across and tries to scoop it over short fine, gets it off the toe-end and the ball lobs to the right of Ojha, who takes an easy catch. A Patel c N Ojha b Bhuvneshwar 15(11) [4s-2]

14.1 - Henriques to Gurkeerat Singh, out Caught by Eoin Morgan!! Third wicket for Henriques. He is on a roll tonight. Once more it is the extra bounce that did the batsman in. Back of a length and on off, Gurkeerat is opened up as he looks to work it into the leg-side, the leading edge pops straight to backward point, Morgan won't drop those. Gurkeerat Singh c Eoin Morgan b Henriques 3(5)

12.3 - Henriques to Bailey, out Caught by Warner!! Henriques wins the battle of the Australians. PUN have lost half their side and slipping to yet another defeat. It was the slower delivery that is dropped short, Bailey wanted to loft it off the back foot over extra cover, doesn't get the power or elevation, offers the simplest of catches to his counterpart. Henriques got a bit of extra bounce and that did Bailey in, hit him high on the bat. Bailey c Warner b Henriques 6(11)

9.0 - Henriques to W Saha, out Caught by Rahul!! That's a superb catch at mid-off and PUN are sliding further! This was pitched up and in that zone outside off, Saha went for the drive, doesn't get hold of the shot and ends up hitting it in the air. Rahul runs forward from mid-off, the ball was always dropping in front of him. He dives, gets his fingers underneath the ball and takes it with his right hand, all the while diving forward. That's a stunning catch, Saha walks off shaking his head. PUN are in big trouble now. W Saha c Rahul b Henriques 5(10)

7.3 - Boult to Maxwell, out Caught by N Ojha!! Excellent comeback from Boult, he has struck the big blow for HYD. Pace and bounce does Maxwell in, this was short and moved away off the deck, reared onto Maxwell as well. He was in no position as he looked to work it towards the off-side, the outside edge is found and Ojha gleefully holds on. Maxwell walks even before the umpire raised his finger. Maxwell c N Ojha b Boult 11(6) [4s-1 6s-1]

6.1 - Bipul Sharma to Vohra, out Caught by Bhuvneshwar!! Bipul has two now! Vohra is disappointed but has to walk back to the hut. This was tossed up wider outside off, Vohra was looking to go back over the bowler's head, the slowness of the delivery did him in, he ends up dragging it to long-on. Bhuvneshwar doesn't drop those, PUN have lost both openers now. Vohra c Bhuvneshwar b Bipul Sharma 20(15) [4s-2 6s-1]

4.5 - Bipul Sharma to Vijay, out Caught by Dhawan!! Bipul Sharma has struck! This was another lovely piece of bowling, slower and wider outside off, lured Vijay into the drive, it stopped on the batsman, Vijay checked his drive, ends up popping it in the air and to the right of cover. Dhawan gets forward, puts in the dive and holds onto the chance. He is animated, so is the bowler. Vijay c Dhawan b Bipul Sharma 24(18) [4s-4 6s-1]

18.2 - Bhuvneshwar to A Patel, 1 run, full delivery on the stumps, Axar flicks it to deep mid-wicket
