- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.3 sharp turn, and Dhoni's appealing for a stumping! And Warner's walking, Nicely bowled by Harbhajan, bowled it slower and held it back a little. It's dropping onto a good length just outside off, not quite full enough for the slog against the turn, and Warner is early on the shot too. The length forces him to reach for the ball, and that causes his back foot to slide out of the crease. The rest is left to Dhoni's fast hands - excellent work, since the ball bounced quite a bit, and he had to rise to his toes to collect the ball and then complete the stumping 120/21.3 looks to cut and pays the price! Straighter one on off, too close and full for the stroke, resulting in a thick outside edge, excellently pouched by Dhoni 5/118.6 another slower short ball, and this time he can't manufacture either the power or the placement he wants with the front-foot pull, and scoops a catch to deep midwicket 167/3Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL175/3 (20 Overs, RR: 8.75)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (Jonny Bairstow, 1.3 ov), 2-120 (David Warner, 13.3 ov), 3-167 (Vijay Shankar, 18.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR17.1 bouncer, rises over Watson's right shoulder. Looks to hook, and doesn't catch it cleanly. There's an appeal for caught-behind from Bhuvneshwar, and it's finally given. Tiny bit of glove on it, and Watson falls four short of what would have been a repeat of his hundred in last year's final. Fantastic knock - he took his time early on, but once he was in, there was no stopping him. Great catch from Bairstow, by the way, diving to his left and completing it with a tumble 160/32.3 slower ball outside off, drilled to mid-off, du Plessis takes off immediately and has to dive at the no striker's where the stumps have been knocked down by Hooda. That's touch and go! Quite unbelievable that he got that close in the first place, having hit the ball so hard to the fielder, but adjudged just short and SRH have the breakthrough 3/19.6 finally has his man and a worthy delivery! Full on middle, Raina didn't pick the googly and was on the walk, missed it completely as he tried to turn it towards midwicket and Bairstow whipped off the bails in a flash 80/219.4 bouncer over off stump, and Rayudu's fallen with the scores tied! Opens up and looks to pull, but it's a hard one to drag from over his right shoulder, and he ends up miscuing it high, offers a simple catch to Vijay Shankar at mid-off. Vijay Shankar catching Rayudu's just what this match needed, I suppose! 175/4Extras9 (b 4, lb 3, w 2)TOTAL176/4 (19.5 Overs, RR: 8.87)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Faf du Plessis, 2.3 ov), 2-80 (Suresh Raina, 9.6 ov), 3-160 (Shane Watson, 17.1 ov), 4-175 (Ambati Rayudu, 19.4 ov)
