Naman Ojha releases pressure immediately with a sky high shot that travels over the bowler's head. The batsmen will have to keep rotating strike and keep the scorecard ticking.

Tahir continues: Hard-hitting batsmen at both the ends, and with 7 wickets in hand, victory does not seem much difficult. BOWLED HIM! Gets the batsman off the last ball of the over, gets the inside edge of the bat of Henriques who missed the line.
Stokes continues: OUT! This is a big wicket, cramped for room, Warner jumps up in the air to cut the ball, but ends up giving a catch to Shardul Thakur for 40. Moises Henriques is here. Chance of a run out, there was no second run but they ran for two. Yuvraj didn't even drag his bat, the ball is well collected and well thrown back to Dhoni, who misses the chance. SIX!

Stokes continues: Yuvraj is here. The over starts with three dots. SRH batsmen need to keep their cool and look to build a partnership. The target isn't huge. Meanwhile, Stokes bowls an over with only two singles.

Rashid Khan's final over: Starts off with a single. Bowls a tossed up delivery, Tiwary tries to pick a gap, hits it to long on, gets a couple. The batsmen sticking to singles. A very unlikely knock from Dhoni. Just a couple of overs left, the two need to take risks now.
Bhuvneshwar's third over: Single, a couple of runs and a chance again with Dhoni on strike, but lands safely. An extra delivery that RPS will welcome. The responsibility is very much on Dhoni now. Another chance of mix-up, but Dhoni is back at the strikers end on time. Perfectly time and ends a struggling over with a boundary towards point.
Kaul strikes: Christian smashed Kaul's next delivery for boundary and then the next moment he finds himself going out of the dug out. Second wicket for Kaul and Rashid takes a simple catch.
Kaul continues: Starts off with a dot ball. Dhoni defends the first. Swings and misses the next. Goes off the mark with a couple. OUT! Smith looks to open the face of the bat to cut the ball past third man but instead it flies to Bipul Sharma. Smith departs, time for strategic timeout.
Rashid Khan continues: Starts off with a single. APPEAL, huge appeal. Well, Naman Ojha tried to knock off the bails as Stokes went down the ground, but there was a fumble. However, there was an appeal for caught behind as well, the replay shows edge but the ball hits the grill. BOWLED HIM! Rashid anyway clears Stokes, the leg stump goes flying. MS Dhoni at the crease, 100 up for RPS.
Kaul's second over: FOUR! Reverse sweep by Stokes, through cover, and that was the first four of this innings. Stokes accelerating RPS' innings and increasing the runrate. No update on Nehra yet. Wide down the leg. A couple of runs to end the over.
Bipul Sharma's final over: SIX! Started off with three singles but Stokes used the next delivery to the fullest, pulling it over midwicket with ease. Smith and Stokes converting the singles into 2s.
Rashid Khan continues: RPS will need more such overs as the previous one to increase the runrate. Meanwhile Smith sweeps one to Shikhar Dhawan at square leg. Brilliant running by the the two batsmen. VVS Laxman says 165 on this pitch will be challenging and 150 will be a good target to chase.
Bipul with the ball: SIX! After spending much time at the crease, Stokes has now started hitting the ball hard. Goes over midwicket, makes full use of the ball sitting on back leg. ANOTHER SIX! Dances down the crease this time to send the ball in the same region. The partnership RPS needed.
Moises Henriques continues: Fifty up for RPS! DROPPED! Too many chances dropped by the SRH fielders today. Could have resulted in three dismissals. Partnership building between Stokes and Smith, something SRH will have to worry about.
Bipul Sharma's second over: A slower track and ball is not coming on to bat easily. The batsmen are eager to keep the scorecard ticking and singles are valuable here. Good runners between the wickets. Time for strategic timeout. 9 overs gone, RPS yet to post 50 runs.
Henriques continues: Good length at middle, smith flicks the ball to leg side, gets a single. Shorter length delivery to Stokes, who defends the next. The two take a quick single off the next. SRH have done a great job to restrict the runrate.
Bipul Sharma's first over: The batsmen are becoming impatient gradually, looking desperately for boundaries. Taking risks and going for big shots. OUT! Rahane loses cool, mishits one to Yuvraj Singh at deep square leg, departs for 22. Ben Stokes is out to bat. Fruitful over for Bipul.
Nehra continues: Wide down the leg. The final over of the powerplay and no boundaries so far. False start and there seems to be some niggle. Nehra in discomfort, so are SRH. Nehra is off the field. Henriques finishes the over, CHANCE STRAIGHT AWAY, not attempted. Kaul had time to come forward and go for a diving catch, he instead stopped it. SIX! hits the bowler off the next, over long-on. The over proves to be expensive. Rahane makes room for the final delivery, hits it straight to mid on, gets a single. Only a six and no fours in the powerplay.
Rashid Khan's first over of the day: Tossed up at middle, Smith plays to midwicket, gets a single. What RPS need is a boundary. Though runs are coming in singles and doubles, boundaries will increase the confidence of the batsmen. Again a tossed up delivery at middle. Smith tries to flick the ball to square leg, it travels to mid on. Single taken off the final delivery.
Siddharth Kaul with the ball: Is that a four? No, great effort by Rashid Khan at deep square leg to slide and stop. DROPPED! A costly miss, this. Bipul, who has earlier pulled off a run out, drops Smith at short fine leg. Bipul went for reverse cupping and the ball bounced off his grip. RPS yet to fine first boundary. 4 overs down.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar continues: Keeps the over only to singles, RPS yet to find their first boundary and have won in-form Tripathy already. Smith will be eager to get a four to release some pressure off.
Ashish Nehra continues: Rahane plays across to midwicket, gets a couple. Plays the next straight to mid off, ball deviating away from Rahane, gets a single. Good length at middle to Tripathi, defends it to thirdman. Short, Tripathi comes down the crease, swings bat hard, misses. Given warning by umpire. RUN OUT! Tripathi plays it fine, to the fielder, and loses track of the ball. Bipul Sharma collects and executes a flawless throw to dismiss Tripathi. BIG WICKET!
Bhuvneshwar Kumar opens bowling for SRH: Bhuvneshwar has dismissed Rahane six times already. Bowls just outside off-stump, confuses the batsmen. Almost an edge. Both Rahane and Tripathi off the mark with singles. Three runs off the first over.
