- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.5 he's smashed this straight to Rizvi at deep midwicket! It was a drag-down from Axar, and Head rocked back to pull , didn't hit it well enough to clear the boundary and found the fielder ... the players are taking a time out at the fall of the wicket 97/114.4 Kishan's run out, having backed up too far! Abhishek drilled the ball hard at Rana, who deflected the ball on to the stumps at the non-striker's end as he tried to stop the shot ...

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.1 he's hit it flat and straight to Livingstone at mid-off! Nissanka stepped out and towards leg to create room and slapped a short of a length ball angling across him straight to the fielder 21/19.4 that par score will rise now, after Rahul has whipped this friendly full toss off his pads and straight to Abhishek Sharma at deep backward square leg ... such an innocuous delivery, Rahul placed it poorly 107/210.1 two in quick succession now! And Abhishek is the catcher once again, running in from long on and sliding to take a well-judged catch. Malinga delivered a slower one on a length and Rana mis-timed his front-foot heave towards the leg side 107/319.5 caught at deep midwicket once again, Madushanka the catcher. Rizvi clears his front foot and drags the flat ball from wide outside off, simple catch for the fielder coming in from the boundary 195/810.2 golden duck for Miller! Pitches just short of a length around leg and slants it across the left-hander from over the wicket, Miller stays in his crease and closes the face of the bat, the ball kisses the inside edge and hits middle and leg stump 107/415.5 third time lucky for Malinga, and well done Hussain at short third! Malinga goes pace off, shorter length outside off stump, Stubbs gets into position for the reverse pull over short third but is done by the change in pace, Hussain moves to his left and takes the catch 166/517.6 suckers him with a slower one! Malinga follows up the yorker with a slower one outside off, it's the cutter and Ashutosh swings in vain, taking one hand off the bat and lofting it tamely to long on 186/619.1 left-arm spinner gets left-hander, Axar heaves across the line, takes one hand off the bat as he mis-times it, and Reddy judges the straightforward catch well at deep midwicket 192/719.6 three in the over for Dubey as Ngidi also drags the ball from outside off to Madushanka at deep midwicket, SRH win by 47 runs to move up to third place on the points table 195/9Extras8 (lb 1, w 7)TOTAL195/9 (20 Overs, RR: 9.75)Fall of wickets: 1-21 (Pathum Nissanka, 2.1 ov), 2-107 (KL Rahul, 9.4 ov), 3-107 (Nitish Rana, 10.1 ov), 4-107 (David Miller, 10.2 ov), 5-166 (Tristan Stubbs, 15.5 ov), 6-186 (Ashutosh Sharma, 17.6 ov), 7-192 (Axar Patel, 19.1 ov), 8-195 (Sameer Rizvi, 19.5 ov), 9-195 (Lungi Ngidi, 19.6 ov)
