    7.6 Woof, what a ripper out of nowhere. Back of a length and just shapes away from Abhishek. The ball flies off the pitch and towards Sanju, who insists on a review. Could be a faint edge here... And there's a big spike as the ball passes bat. Just like that, Abhishek's been taken out! 93/3
    5.5 Can you believe this? The worst ball of the over, a full toss offered up right outside off. Head boshes this one and somehow spears it straight to Gaikwad stationed at mid-off for that exact shot. How did he find the fielder off that ball! The ebbs and flows of T20 cricket, you suppose... 75/1
    5.6 Slammed straight to mid-off! Mistimed this ball outside off. Kishan just swings at it like he's wielding an axe too heavy in his hand. Loses his shape and deposits it to Gaikwad once more. He's taken two in two. Welp (for SRH fans)... It's game on for the CSK ones! 75/2

    17.2 drags this back onto the stumps! Kamboj's impressive season continues. What a massive moment. Once again it's the angle that he takes across from wide of the crease, Klaasen believes he's got room to scythe this behind point, apparently not. Drags back. 177/6
    10.1 and the slide continues. Overton goes hard-length on middle-and-off, Aniket looks to take on the short ball but ends up skewing it high off the bat to midwicket. No timing or power, and he was very late on the shot. 112/4
    13.5 another one bites the dust and Overton's surge continues. NKR looks to muscle this over long-on but the ball got a tad bigger on him which meant he didn't get the kind of elevation he would've liked. Well held at long-on. Had the promise of a more-impactful innings. Short was a couple of yards in, so he had to leap high to get to that and he did that quite nicely. 147/5
    18.1 straight into Brewis' mitts at deep cover! Gurjapneet does well to bowl full and take this across, somewhat away from his hitting arc. Arora does well to reach that but he's also taking on the longest pocket at the ground, finds Brewis intercepting that with ridiculous ease. 179/7
    19.6 swung away straight down deep midwicket's throat! Low full toss, Livingstone hit it well but ended up picking out the lone man in the deep. The SRH innings has decelerated sensationally. CSK will be mighty happy with this comeback. SRH have crossed their previous-best of 192 against CSK, but the 200 remains elusive. 194/9
    19.4 looks for a repeat, but the angle was far wider and across the batter, Shivang still goes through with the shot and ends up tamely looping it to Gurjapneet at short fine leg. Clever bowling, Kamboj's impressive season continues. 193/8

    1.1 Samson's shovelled this right up in the air, and by the time it comes down, Klaasen collects it in his mits! He put out his hands and called for this quite early. The ball was back of a length, rushing Samson by rising right at him. Cramped on the pull and got the top-edge 15/1
    5.1 Malinga's struck first up! Bangs this in short and it is slanting down leg side. Gaikwad goes for a pull but one hand comes off the bat's handle. Ball bumps into his glove and rises in the air. Keeper there to collect this safely 66/3
    4.4 And now to add to all that, Klaasen pulls out an absolute ripper of a catch at extra cover! Mhatre smashed this way away from his body, on a length outside off. No timing on this but it's still flying past Klaasen. He stretches in the air, absolutely taut in his posture, and plucks it out of thin air towards his left 66/2
    15.4 that is a sensational catch from Aniket. Don't let the lack of celebration from fooling you into believing otherwise. This was full and angling into the pads, it was hit hard and flat to Aniket, the boundary rider at deep midwicket. He got to the ball, dived low to his right and plucked an absolute stunner! 148/6
    10.4 picks out deep square! Sarfaraz looks to flick this uppishly, the bottom hand comes off the bat handle. The helicopter loses steam, and it ends up being a simple catch to the boundary rider. 112/4
    11.4 taken at long-off! This is top--class, nerveless bowling by the youngster. Not afraid to give it air, deceives Brewis in the air as he looks to go down the ground, but doesn't get to the pitch and ends up slicing it to Livingstone who didn't have to move an inch. 113/5
    16.5 the middle-stump has been knocked back and Sakib is pleased as punch! Dube backs away to drill this through the off side, but the late tail ensures he misses it altogether. 154/7
    19.4 he has shovelled this straight down long-off's throat. Once again full and angling across, Overton can't generate the kind of power he'd like. Turns out to be the simplest of catches for Livingstone. Hinge has his arms wide. He's had a rough night with the ball, but has done wonderfully well so far to try and close this out. Now to finish it 182/8
