16.5OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! A fantastic catch from Jos Buttler behind the stumps! Mohammed Siraj goes short again and on middle and leg. Kamindu Mendis steps across to help it on its way with the pull, but fails to get the connection right.

15.3OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Prasidh Krishna gets the big fish! That just might be the final nail in the coffin for SRH. Back of a length and on middle and leg. Heinrich Klaasen shuffles across to play the scoop but only manages to get a thin inside edge behind, where Jos Buttler makes no mistake. The finger goes up on the appeal from the bowler. SRH four down now as Klaasen departs for 23 (18).

15.2NOT OUT! Good length and on middle, angling in, Aniket Verma moves a long way across to flick it but misses and gets hit high on the pads. The ball deflects away as the batters take a leg bye. There is also an appeal for LBW, but turned down. However, Shubman Gill takes the review. Ball Tracking shows that it is going over the wickets. GT lose a review!

15.1Fuller one and on middle, Heinrich Klaasen tucks it away to deep mid-wicket for a single.

14.6OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! The writing seems to be pretty much on the wall here for SRH with Abhishek's departure now! Ishant corrects both line and length now, a back-of-a-length delivery, on the leg stump line, just lifting bit more off the deck. Abhishek Sharma clears the front leg and attempts to sail the ball behind deep mid-wicket with a pull shot, but loses his shape a bit and it is a bit too close to the body to play that shot. Ends up hitting it off the toe-end of the bat. Mohammed Siraj runs in forward from the deep and takes a fine low catch. Abhishek Sharma departs for a fine knock of 74 from 41 deliveries. SRH are 139/3, needing another 86 runs to win, from 30 balls.

14.5FOUR! A loosener and gets punished! Another full toss from Ishant, outside off, just below the waist height, Abhishek Sharma swings his bat and the ball gets slices over the short third region for a boundary.

14.5WIDE! Angled a bit too wide of off, a full toss, outside the tramline. Abhishek Sharma opts out of the shot. Wide called.

14.3FOUR! Over the inner ring and Klaasen gets a boundary! Pace off from Ishant, full and outside off, Heinrich Klaasen gets crouched a bit and slices it over the backward point region for a boundary. This brings up the 50-run stand between Klaasen and Abhishek.

14.2Angled across off, on a fullish length, Abhishek Sharma drags it along the ground to long on for another run. Singles won't bother GT at all here.

14.1Lands it fuller and on off, Heinrich Klaasen heaves it off the inner half of the bat, to long on for only a single.

13.6Into the pitch, around off, Abhishek Sharma goes for the pull shot, but swings and only connects thin air.

13.5Back of a length, around off, Heinrich Klaasen pulls it along the ground to long on for a single.

13.4Fires in a yorker, at the boots, does Krishna. Abhishek shuffles a bit towards the off stump, and tries to whip it over the leg side, but the ball passes close to the inside edge and hits his front toe before rolling into the leg side. Abhishek calls for a run and Klaasen obeys his partner. With no one inside the circle there, Krishna gets to the ball and throws it to the bowler's end, but misses to hit the stumps at the bowler's end. Abhishek reaches home safely. However, a review is taken by Gill for LBW. There is no bat involved as per the third umpire. The Ball Tracking shows that the ball is crashing into the leg stump, but its impact is on the umpire's call on the leg stump line. NOT OUT and they will get a leg bye.

13.3Hard length, on top of off, Heinrich Klaasen pushes it between cover and mid off for a single. Exactly 100 needed off the last 39 balls remaining.

13.2A yorker, around off, Abhishek Sharma exposes the stumps to carve out to the cover region for a single. Rushes to the other end to complete the run and gets home before the throw.

12.6Pitched fuller and on leg, Abhishek Sharma chips it over mid off for a single.

12.5IN THE AIR...DROPPED! Rather, runs saved by Tewatia as it was traveling! Fuller in length, around off, Heinrich Klaasen takes the aerial route over mid off. The ball dips on the long off fielder, but it is still over the head height of the fielder in the deep. Rahul Tewatia, though, times his leap to perfection, sticks his left hand over his shoulders and grabs the ball. But while tumbling, he lobs the ball into the field of play and falls near the boundary ropes. Just a single then.

12.4A googly, on off, Abhishek Sharma loses the shape as he charges down and tries to take on the full delivery. Finds the leading edge and the ball lands on the bounce in front of short third. A single taken.

12.3SIX! Abhishek Sharma is carrying the flag for the Sunrisers here! A leg break, with the length pulled back slightly, around off, Abhishek Sharma clears the front leg and launches it over the deep mid-wicket region for a massive six.

11.5Length-delivery, just outside the off stump. Abhishek Sharma powers it down the ground to long off for a single.

11.4An appeal for LBW, but not entertained. Jos Buttler too, looks unsure of it and they do not challenge it. Cannoned in fuller and on off, Abhishek Sharma again shuffles to play the identical shot from the previous ball, but misses to get any bat this time and the ball raps on the pad. Impact looks clearly outside off.

11.3SIX! FIFTY FOR ABHISHEK SHARMA! What a shot that is! His 8th of the IPL career! Too full and fired onto the pads from Gerald Coetzee. Abhishek Sharma gets across and just whips it behind deep fine leg for a six.

10.5SIX! Signature Klaasen strike! Drags the length back a bit, does Rashid, just outside off, Heinrich Klaasen rocks back and launches it behind long on for a six.

10.4Flat again, around off, drilled down to long off for a single.

9.3OUT! TAKEN! Gerald Coetzee strikes! He pitches it up and around off, Ishan Kishan steps across to slog it to the leg side but loses his shape completely. The ball takes the leading edge and flies towards third man where Prasidh Krishna moves a bit to his right and takes it nicely with a reverse cup while sliding across. An animated celebration from Coetzee as he gets his first wicket. SRH are 82/2 now, still needing 143 runs in 63 balls.

7.5Great teamwork in the deep! Pitched up and on off, Abhishek Sharma looks to loft it over mid off but mistimes it high up in the air but well over the fielder. Mohammed Siraj chases after it and gets his fingertips on it to slow its momentum as he himself runs into the ropes. His traveling partner, Shubman Gill, shows good game awareness, as he comes in flying in and dives to stop it from touching the ropes. Three runs taken. All this to save one run, which, indeed, can make a lot of difference in the end.

7.4Swing and a miss! Hard length and around off, Abhishek Sharma looks for the heave but misses.

4.3OUT! LAUNCHED INTO THE AIR, AND TAKEN! WHAT A SUPERB CATCH FROM RASHID! Travis Head is in absolute disbelief! Hard length, from over the stumps and on the off and middle stump line. Travis Head opens up his stance to give himself some room to pull it over the leg side, but gets it mistimed in the air. It sails over the deep mid-wicket region and descends just before the ropes. Rashid Khan sprints to the right, covering a lot of yards, and slides to take a fabulous catch at deep mid-wicket. He not only maintains the ball in his hand while sliding, but also shows a good example of deceleration as well, as he wasn't that far from the boundary ropes. All the GT players rush towards the Afghan leggie in admiration and GT get their first breakthrough. Travis Head departs for a quickfire 20 and SRH are 49/1.

3.1WIDE! Way, way across the tramline on the off side. Head leaves.

2.6A yorker on the leg stump line, Abhishek Sharma digs it out back to the bowler. Siraj shows a bit of frustration there as he collects the ball on his follow-through and throws it flat and straight to the stumps at the batter's end. However, Abhishek gets in the crease before the throw. This is Siraj's 100th dot ball this season. He is currently third in the list, just behind Khaleel Ahmed of CSK, and Josh Hazlewood of RCB.

2.5Gets away with that one does Siraj. Bowls it on the pads, on a length, Travis Head misses to whip it away and the ball grazes the pads before running towards Coetzee to short fine leg. A leg bye taken.

1.6SIX! Abhishek spoils the over for Ishant! Cracking shot that! Takes some pace off, does Sharma, full and on off, the other Sharma with the bat, gets forward and spanks it over long off for a six. Free flow of the bat!

1.5Angling into the pads again, too full, Travis Head misses to flick across and the ball rolls to the leg side, behind square. They rush across for a leg bye. So far, so good from Ishant Sharma.

1.4Back of a length, on the leg stump line, Abhishek Sharma skips forward and pats it to the cover region for a quick single.
