Axar Patel to Travis Head, out Caught by Sameer Rizvi!! A dragdown and Head has holed out to deep mid-wicket - was pushed through quicker and on off, Head rocked back on the pull, but he doesn't get the elevation on the shot. Hard and flat, and right down Rizvi's throat at deep mid-wicket.

Nitish Rana to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, thumped, too full from Nitish, it's right in the slot and Abhishek hammers it back over the bowler's head, has enough to clear the ropes on the full

Nitish Rana to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, a 2nd IPL hundred for Abhishek Sharma and it's come in front of his family - swivels the bat to all sides of the ground and is engulfed with a warm hug from his partner - a long hop and it was duly pulled over deep mid-wicket for a maximum

Eshan Malinga to Nitish Rana, out Caught by Abhishek Sharma!! He's everywhere. Second catch for Abhishek. Both set batters gone in consecutive overs. Sunrisers Hyderabad right on top now. Fullish delivery angled across, Rana looks to loft down the ground and gets it nowhere close to the middle. The ball was dying in front of Abhishek who charged in from long-on, slid forward and gobbled it up just above the ground. A good knock comes to an end.

Eshan Malinga to Tristan Stubbs, out Caught by Sakib Hussain!! Malinga has the last say. Third wicket for him. And he's elated. Stubbs had success playing the reverse scoop and he perishes playing that shot. This was the slower ball from Malinga as he spotted Stubbs shape to play the reverse, held the length back as well and Stubbs could not generate power to clear short third, Sakib moves to his left and takes a good catch.

Harsh Dubey to Axar Patel, out Caught by Nitish Reddy!! The final rites are being performed. Axar has no option but to go for the big shots and decrease the margin of defeat. He tries to heave Dubey into the leg-side but does not get it off the middle. Reddy comes well in from the deep mid-wicket fence and hangs onto a good catch.
