  • 18.1Nandre Burger to Salil Arora. 1 run, Honing in on the off stump, on a good length. Salil angles it behind point for a single.

  • And all of a sudden, SRH have lost both the set batters in the same over. With only 9 runs needed in 12 balls, Aniket Verma walks in at number 7. Nandre Burger (3-0-41-0) will bowl the penultimate.

  • 5 wickets down for SRH. Out batsman is Heinrich Klaasen 17.6Brijesh Sharma to Heinrich Klaasen. out, OUT! CAUGHT! Not the best of balls, but Brijesh Sharma will take it. Brijesh goes searching for the yorker, but it comes out as a high full toss, on middle. Klaasen swings across the line but does not quite go hard at it. He just shovels it to deep square leg, where Ravi Bishnoi runs in off the ropes and gets low out in front to take the catch. Klaasen has been asked to wait as the umpires want to check the height of the full toss. The ball is below the waist, and it is a fair delivery. Heinrich cannot finish the job himself. SRH lose their 5th wicket and are left needing 9 runs from 12 balls.

  • 17.5Brijesh Sharma to Heinrich Klaasen. no run, Wide given. A marginal call, but it goes in favour of the batter. Brijesh Sharma is not happy with it, and Riyan Parag sends it upstairs. Flirting with the tramline, on a length, Heinrich Klaasen lets it through to the keeper. Klaasen had not moved, and some part of the ball is inside the wide guideline. It is a fair delivery.

  • 17.4Brijesh Sharma to Heinrich Klaasen. no run, Low full toss, tailing back in at the off stump. Heinrich Klaasen just angles the drive to Riyan Parag at a catching cover position.

  • 17.3Brijesh Sharma to Salil Arora. 1 run, Another well-executed yorker, on middle. Salil bunts it out to long on for a single.

  • 17.2Brijesh Sharma to Nitish Kumar Reddy. out, OUT! LBW! Struck on the boot, and the finger is raised. A searing yorker by Brijesh Sharma with a bit of tail back in at the toes. Nitish Kumar Reddy hurriedly drops his bat, but he is late in doing so. The ball goes under the bat and strikes Reddy on the left boot. Reddy reviews almost immediately. No bat is involved on UltraEdge, and the Ball Tracking has the ball crashing into the leg pole. The on-field decision is upheld, and Reddy is given the marching orders. SRH are 219/4, needing 10 more runs.

  • 17.1Brijesh Sharma to Nitish Kumar Reddy. SIX, SIX! Into the stands! Brijesh Sharma bowls the leg-cutter into the surface, over middle. This sits up to be hit, just below the chest. Nitish Kumar Reddy hangs back and unleashes the pull way over square leg for a biggie. The 50-run stand comes up between this pair.

  • 16.6Tushar Deshpande to Heinrich Klaasen. FOUR, FOUR! In the gap! Deshpande gets the line wrong as he serves a low full toss, slanting into the right-hander. Heinrich Klaasen hangs low to take the ball on the full and whips it all along the ground. Picks the gap between deep mid-wicket and long on for a four. 20 runs from the over. 16 more needed for SRH.

  • 30 runs for Nitish Kumar Reddy 16.5Tushar Deshpande to Nitish Kumar Reddy. 1 run, Deshpande responds well as he slips in the yorker, on middle. NKR jams it out to cover and takes a single.

  • 16.4Tushar Deshpande to Nitish Kumar Reddy. SIX, SIX! A skimmer from Reddy. Deshpande digs it in short but takes pace off, outside off. It comes at shoulder height to Reddy, who stands up tall on his toes and pulls it to the right of deep mid-wicket for a flat six.

  • 16.3Tushar Deshpande to Nitish Kumar Reddy. 2 runs, Full and skidding through, around the off stump. Reddy shanks it off the inner half of the bat but it goes right between deep mid-wicket and long on. That allows him to sneak in the second run.

  • 200 runs for SRH 16.2Tushar Deshpande to Heinrich Klaasen. 1 run, Stays full, on off and middle. Klaasen swings hard at it but the bat turns in his hand. He gets it past the bowler's right and picks up a single.

  • 16.1Tushar Deshpande to Heinrich Klaasen. SIX, SIX! Incredible shot! Deshpande goes full, on the off stump. Heinrich Klaasen clears the front leg slightly and collapses his back knee. He opens up the front hip to go inside out over cover for a six.

  • Tushar Deshpande (2-0-23-0) returns into the attack. SRH need 36 runs from 24 balls.

  • 15.6Brijesh Sharma to Heinrich Klaasen. 1 run, Low full toss, on the leg stump. This is swiped to deep mid-wicket for a run.

  • 15.5Brijesh Sharma to Heinrich Klaasen. 2 runs, Follows the batter with a yorker as he backs away, does Brijesh. Heinrich Klaasen drops his bat down and squeezes it out to the right of long on for a brace.

  • 15.1Brijesh Sharma to Heinrich Klaasen. 1 run, Low full toss, on middle. Heinrich Klaasen pushes it to long on for a single.

  • STRATEGIC BREAK! That's Jofra Archer done for the night, and SRH will be relieved. He has looked the only genuine threat with the ball, and from here, with 41 needed off 30, it is SRH's game to lose. RR have not helped their cause with errors in the field, but it is about believing they can still pull something special out of the hat. Brijesh Sharma is brought back into the attack after the break.

  • 14.6Jofra Archer to Nitish Kumar Reddy. FOUR, FOUR! Glorious hit! On a slightly fuller length, around the off pole. Nitish Kumar Reddy presses forward, presents a straight bat and drives it down the ground. Jofra sticks his left hand out by bending low on the follow-through. Only manages to get it parried behind as it races to the fence, beating long off to his right. Archer is done with his spell. 4-0-34-2 are his bowling figures.

  • 14.5Jofra Archer to Nitish Kumar Reddy. no run, Hard length on middle and leg, Nitish looks to work it to the leg side but closes the bat face too early, gets a leading edge that rolls on the bounce straight to Jadeja at backward point.

  • 14.2Jofra Archer to Heinrich Klaasen. 1 run, Short of a length, outside off, Klaasen cuts to deep cover-point for a single.

  • 14.1Jofra Archer to Nitish Kumar Reddy. 1 run, STRAIGHT UP AND DROPPED! Brijesh is the man who shells one now. This is not going down well for the Royals and the frustration is visible in the RR camp. On a back of a length on off, rearing up off the pitch. Reddy pulls but is late on it, gets a top edge that balloons miles into the air to deep third. Brijesh tries to settle under it. First moves to his right and then to his left, but misjudges the trajectory of the ball and makes a meal of it. The TV umpire checks the boundary cushions and finds his feet were not in contact with the ropes. Just a single.

  • 13.6Nandre Burger to Heinrich Klaasen. no run, At 140.3 kph, this is pitched full and just outside off. Heinrich Klaasen chips the ball on the bounce to mid off. Looked like the ball held up a bit on this occasion.

  • 13.5Nandre Burger to Nitish Kumar Reddy. 1 run, On a good length, around off, Nitish Kumar Reddy works it to sweeper cover for a single.

  • 13.4Nandre Burger to Nitish Kumar Reddy. FOUR, FOUR! A rare loosener from Burger and gets the treatment! Wide line on a good length, outside off. Nitish Kumar Reddy flashes hard at it by getting on the toes and cuts it over backward point for a cracking four. Burger is not happy with himself.

  • 13.1Nandre Burger to Nitish Kumar Reddy. SIX, SIX! Helped on its way! Back of a length, from around the stumps and rearing up into his chest. Reddy stays rooted and hoicks it hard across the line, clearing the ropes at long leg comfortably.

  • 12.6Jofra Archer to Heinrich Klaasen. no run, Absolutely fantastic stuff from Archer. A wicket and just 1 run from it amid all the carnage. Back of a length around off, pace taken off. Klaasen reads it early, gets on top of the bounce, and adjusts nicely to the length by dabbing it firmly into the deck.

  • 12.5Jofra Archer to Heinrich Klaasen. no run, At 139 kph, this is a hostile short ball, over off. Heinrich Klaasen arches back to play the ramp but misses. Missed by a kitten whisker.

  • 12.4Jofra Archer to Nitish Kumar Reddy. 1 run, Oh, that could have gone anywhere. A sharp and quick bumper, around the left shoulder. Nitish Kumar Reddy fails to drop his wrists and fends it awkwardly. Gets a top edge that sails over the keeper. Brijesh Sharma gets around from deep third and slides to his left to prevent the boundary. The third umpire is called into action to check the effort, and Brijesh has done well near the ropes. Just a single.

  • 3 wickets down for SRH. Out batsman is Ishan Kishan 12.1Jofra Archer to Ishan Kishan. out, OUT! MISCUED AND CAUGHT! Archer answers the call for his team and fishes Kishan out. Banged in hard. Kishan looks to flat bat it down the ground but gets nowhere near the middle of it, with one hand coming clean off the handle. Ferreira, from long off, runs forward and dives, gets both hands to it, and rolls on the turf in his follow-through to take a fine catch. Sets an example for others in his side. Hyderabad are 166/3, needing 63 runs from 47 balls.

  • 11.6Ravindra Jadeja to Heinrich Klaasen. FOUR, FOUR! More runs! Full and outside off. Klaasen gets forward and throws everything at it, driving hard through the gap to the right of cover for a boundary.

  • 11.6Ravindra Jadeja to Heinrich Klaasen. wide, 1 run, Wide! Short and wide. A bit of turn and it goes beyond the tramline. Heinrich Klaasen lets it pass.

  • 11.5Ravindra Jadeja to Heinrich Klaasen. 2 runs, Short again, outside off. Heinrich Klaasen presses back and cuts it wide of deep backward point for two.

  • 11.4Ravindra Jadeja to Heinrich Klaasen. no run, Short outside off, punched hard off the back foot but straight to cover.

  • 11.3Ravindra Jadeja to Ishan Kishan. 3 runs, Oops! Misfield again! The Royals cannot afford this as the game is slipping away. Short and outside off, quicker at 101 kph. Kishan sits back and cuts it hard to backward point where Bishnoi gets down to his right, fumbles, and lets it through his legs. Bishnoi gets up and sprints back to flick the ball back in before the ropes, but by then, the batters cross for three runs.

  • 11.2Ravindra Jadeja to Heinrich Klaasen. 1 run, Full, outside off, a bit round-armish, Heinrich Klaasen presses forward and hammers it to long off for a single.

  • 11.1Ravindra Jadeja to Heinrich Klaasen. no run, Pitched slightly fuller, on middle. Heinrich Klaasen backs away and knocks it to cover.

  • 10.6Ravi Bishnoi to Ishan Kishan. FOUR, FOUR! Absolutely belted! Drags the length back, keeping the line of attack on the stumps. It is the googly, but it barely troubles Ishan, who goes deep in the crease and hammers it down the ground to long on's right for a boundary.

  • 150 runs for SRH 10.5Ravi Bishnoi to Ishan Kishan. SIX, SIX! All the way! Flatter ball by Bishnoi, full and on middle. Ishan Kishan gets down on a knee and slog sweeps it aerially, dumping it behind deep square leg for half a dozen runs.

  • 10.4Ravi Bishnoi to Heinrich Klaasen. 1 run, Quicker one, on a length, on off. Heinrich Klaasen presses back and cuts it through backward point for a run.

  • 10.3Ravi Bishnoi to Heinrich Klaasen. no run, Shortish around off, this is stabbed into the off side.

  • 10.2Ravi Bishnoi to Heinrich Klaasen. FOUR, FOUR! Well, that's some way to get off the mark! Very full, around off. Heinrich Klaasen gets crouched on the back knee and lofts it inside out over cover for a boundary. The replay shows that the ball just bounced in front of the boundary cushions.

  • 10.1Ravi Bishnoi to Ishan Kishan. 1 run, Starts with a length ball, on leg. Ishan dinks it to the leg side, in front of square for a single.

  • A massive wicket for RR. The damage has been done, though. SRH are 139/2 after 10 overs. At the same stage, the Royals were 112/1. So the visitors are well and truly ahead in the game. Heinrich Klaasen is the new batter in. And here comes Ravi Bishnoi as well.

  • 9.6Donovan Ferreira to Abhishek Sharma. out, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Ferreira angles it into the left-hander and tucks him up for room with a full ball. Abhishek Sharma dances down the track and clears the front leg to allow his hands through the line of the ball. He looks to go back over the bowler's head with a straight bat. He gets the height but not the distance. Jofra Archer runs in a bit at long on and has to take a step back before taking the catch over his head, and he ensures that he keeps his balance near the ropes.

  • 9.5Donovan Ferreira to Ishan Kishan. 1 run, Pushed through now, on a length, on middle. Kishan pushes it to long on for a run.

  • 9.4Donovan Ferreira to Ishan Kishan. SIX, SIX! Excellent use of the feet! Floated up, full and on middle. Ishan Kishan shimmies down the track and gets to the pitch of the ball before going over long on for a six.

  • 50 runs for Ishan Kishan 9.3Donovan Ferreira to Ishan Kishan. FOUR, FOUR! Ishan Kishan gets to his FIFTY now. He gets a warm embrace from his partner at the other end. A bit short, on middle. Ishan goes deep in the crease and pummels it hard and wide of deep mid-wicket for a four. 3rd half-century of the season for SRH's number 3.

  • 9.2Donovan Ferreira to Abhishek Sharma. 1 run, Speared in again, this is quicker and the length stays full. Sharma eases it to long off and crosses over.

  • 9.1Donovan Ferreira to Abhishek Sharma. 2 runs, Darted in from around the wicket, full and on leg. Abhishek drives it uppishly it to the right of long off for a couple of runs.

  • Donovan Ferreira is brought into the attack. Ian Bishop on air mentions that it was Bishnoi who was handed the ball, but there was a late decision to bring Donovan on. But is holding Bishnoi for long an ideal tactic?

  • 8.6Brijesh Sharma to Ishan Kishan. 2 runs, Another low full toss, outside off. Ishan swings hard at it. Gets it more off the outer half through backward point. The sub fielder, Ravi Singh runs and slides to his right to mop it up. Two runs taken.

  • 50 runs for Abhishek Sharma 8.3Brijesh Sharma to Abhishek Sharma. FOUR, FOUR! Nicely done and that takes Abhishek Sharma to a FIFTY. The southpaw backs up the hundred in the previous game with a fifty. This is his third consecutive fifty-plus score. Seam-up ball, going away, Sharma makes use of the angle and opens the bat face to slice it wide of backward point for a four.

  • 8.2Brijesh Sharma to Abhishek Sharma. FOUR, FOUR! Threads it through! Brijesh comes up with the slower bumper, over middle. Abhishek Sharma waits on the back foot for the ball to arrive and unleashes the pull in front of square. Shimron Hetmyer sprints to his left at deep mid-wicket but is beaten.

  • 8.1Brijesh Sharma to Ishan Kishan. 1 run, Starts with a full ball, on off. Kishan firms the drive to long off and crosses over.

  • Will Parag continue, or bring Bishnoi into the attack? Neither. Here's Brijesh Sharma back on. Went for 19 runs off his only over so far.

  • 7.6Tushar Deshpande to Ishan Kishan. 1 run, Low full toss, outside off. Kishan throws his hands at the ball. The ball goes off a thickish outside edge to deep third. Single taken. SRH need 117 runs in 72 balls.

  • 7.5Tushar Deshpande to Ishan Kishan. FOUR, FOUR! In the gap! Deshpande looks to keep it away from the batter's arc, on a back of a length. Ishan reaches out with his hands and gets on top of it before smashing it to the left of deep point.

  • 7.4Tushar Deshpande to Ishan Kishan. no run, Very full, going away. With mid on inside the circle, Kishan looks to go up and over that man but he does not get the desired leverage. Hits it along the ground to mid on.

  • 7.3Tushar Deshpande to Ishan Kishan. no run, Just short! Deshpande pushes it across the left-hander, on the shorter side. Kishan reaches out but his weight stays on the back foot. He slaps it uppishly towards extra cover, where the ball drops short of Riyan Parag.

  • 7.1Tushar Deshpande to Abhishek Sharma. FOUR, FOUR! Stand and deliver stuff! Off-cutter, running across the left-hander, on a length. Abhishek lets the ball come to him and gets his hands through to power it to the right of long off for a boundary.

  • 7.1Tushar Deshpande to Abhishek Sharma. wide, 1 run, Wide! This is well wide on off, on the fuller side. Abhishek Sharma lets it be.

  • 6.6Riyan Parag to Abhishek Sharma. 1 run, Fuller and around leg. Abhishek nurdles it square on the leg side for another single.

  • 100 runs for SRH 6.5Riyan Parag to Abhishek Sharma. FOUR, FOUR! A poor delivery, and it gets the treatment. Too short, too wide on off, there to be put away and Abhishek obliges. He gets closer to the line of the ball by moving across and spanks it past extra cover for a four. The 100 is up for SRH in just 6.5 overs.

  • 6.4Riyan Parag to Ishan Kishan. 1 run, Sliding onto the pads, on a length. Kishan reaches out in front for the sweep. He toe-ends it to mid-wicket for a run.

  • 6.2Riyan Parag to Ishan Kishan. 1 run, Full and sliding in, on middle. This is driven to long on for one.

  • 6.1Riyan Parag to Ishan Kishan. FOUR, FOUR! All too easy for Kishan. A real half-tracker, on middle. Kishan presses deep in the crease and hammers the pull to the right of deep square leg for a four.

  • STRATEGIC BREAK! Time for some recalibration for the Royals. They have leaked far too many runs in the first six overs as SRH are off to a flier. All the overs so far have gone into double digits, which shows how ruthless the assault has been from Ishan and Abhishek. The hosts have been sloppy in the field and Abhishek is living a charmed life after being put down by Jadeja. With 140 runs needed off 84 balls, Riyan Parag brings himself into the attack. Possibly because of two left-handers at the crease. Will that bring a breakthrough for the Royals? Let's find out.

  • 5.6Brijesh Sharma to Abhishek Sharma. no run, Gets the yorker in, outside off. Abhishek lets it go, thinking it is a wide but the ball sneaks just inside the tramline. 19 runs off the final over of the Powerplay. At the end of 6 overs, SRH are 89/1.

  • 5.5Brijesh Sharma to Abhishek Sharma. FOUR, FOUR! Nicely waited to find the fence. Brijesh dishes out the leg-cutter and he goes into the surface. Sharma frees his arms and waits for the ball to arrive. Drags the pull off the front foot past mid-wicket for four more.

  • 5.4Brijesh Sharma to Ishan Kishan. 1 run, Low full toss, across off. Ishan reaches out and drills it to deep cover. They cross.

  • 5.3Brijesh Sharma to Ishan Kishan. FOUR, FOUR! Put away with disdain. Fractionally short, on middle and leg. Kishan pivots on the back foot and pulls it through backward square leg for the third four of the over.

  • 5.3Brijesh Sharma to Ishan Kishan. wide, 1 run, Wide! Sharma spots Kishan backing away and that puts him off. He slips down leg again, on a good length. Ishan fails to get it away this time.

  • 30 runs for Ishan Kishan 5.2Brijesh Sharma to Ishan Kishan. FOUR, FOUR! Easy pickings! Brijesh errs in line this time, drifts down leg, on a length. Kishan hangs low and helps it fine of the man at short fine leg for four more.

  • 5.1Brijesh Sharma to Ishan Kishan. FOUR, FOUR! Thumped! A juicy half-volley, on off. Kishan swings through the line and cracks it down the ground. Donovan Ferreira at long on does not have a lot of ground to cover but the ball skips across the turf and he is beaten to his right.

  • 5.1Brijesh Sharma to Ishan Kishan. wide, 1 run, Wide! Sprays it down leg, on a length. Ishan crouches to swing it away on the leg side but misses.

  • 4.6Tushar Deshpande to Abhishek Sharma. no run, DROPPED! Jadeja, of all people in the park. This is rare, very rare. Tushar cannot believe it, Jurel is shocked, and so are many watching it. Low full toss around leg, and Abhishek opens the bat face and slices it flatly off the toe end, and goes straight to Jadeja at backward point. Jadeja gets a bit too across to his left, and despite getting both hands on it, the ball bobbles out. That was as straightforward as it could be for a catch. Abhishek gets a big reprieve.

  • 30 runs for Abhishek Sharma 4.5Tushar Deshpande to Abhishek Sharma. FOUR, FOUR! Clears the in-field! A rank full toss from Tushar, on the stumps. Abhishek stays leg side of the ball and slices it over the cover-point region for a boundary.

  • 4.4Tushar Deshpande to Abhishek Sharma. FOUR, FOUR! Excellent adjustment! Seeing Abhishek run down the track, Deshpande bangs it short into the body to cramp the southpaw. Sharma arches back and nicely dabs it between the backward point and the short third fielders for a boundary.

  • Halt! Ishan Kishan cops a blow just above the left knee. He is in agonising pain, and the physio is out. The magic spray has done its job and Ishan is back on his feet.

  • 4.3Tushar Deshpande to Ishan Kishan. leg byes, 1 run, Cannons it full and pitching just outside the leg stump line. Ishan looks to play the pick-up shot, but misses and the ball beats his inside edge before rapping him on the exposed area on the back knee. The ball then deflects to the mid-wicket region as Ishan hobbles in pain, but realises that a leg bye is on and rushes through to the other end, responding to Abhishek's call. The fielder collects and releases the throw to the bowling end, but it hits Kishan's right leg instead.

  • 4.2Tushar Deshpande to Ishan Kishan. FOUR, FOUR! That's been absolutely hammered! Fuller in length, on the stumps. Ishan Kishan gets the front leg out of the way and drills it straight back past the bowler for a boundary down the ground.

  • 4.1Tushar Deshpande to Ishan Kishan. no run, Begins with an overpitched delivery on off, Ishan carves it down to Parag at mid off.

  • 3.6Nandre Burger to Abhishek Sharma. FOUR, FOUR! Cleverly done and the extra ball costs RR. Burger tries to deceive the batter with a slower bumper, on top of off. Abhishek has already charged down the track but adjusts well and lifts it over cover-point for a boundary. This also brings up the 50-run partnership between Abhishek and Ishan.

  • 3.6Nandre Burger to Abhishek Sharma. wide, 1 run, Wide! Pace off now, a bumper, over middle. Sharma moves towards the leg side and hops. He also gets his hands high to connect. The ball goes past the bat and goes on the bounce to the keeper. Abhishek feels this is too high and it should be a wide. The Ball Tracking confirms that the ball passed Abhishek over his head, and the UltraEdge confirms no bat involvement. The on-field decision is overturned to a wide.

  • 50 runs for SRH 3.5Nandre Burger to Abhishek Sharma. FOUR, FOUR! Powered away! This is on a back of a length, on off and middle. Sharma makes room and hammers it with a flat bat to the right of mid on for a four. The 50 comes up for SRH!

  • 3.4Nandre Burger to Abhishek Sharma. no run, Well-directed short ball into the bodyline. Abhishek swivels and mistimes the pull shot to backward square leg.

  • 3.3Nandre Burger to Abhishek Sharma. SIX, SIX! KABOOM! On a slightly fuller length, around off. Abhishek charges down the track and smokes it flat over deep extra cover for a six.

  • 3.2Nandre Burger to Abhishek Sharma. FOUR, FOUR! CHANCE GOES DOWN! Hetmyer is the guilty party, and this is the second blemish in the field by RR tonight. He just couldn't sight the ball in the lights. Length ball outside off, 141 kph. Abhishek stays leg side and looks to carve it square on the off side, but plays it uppishly and gets it off the outside half. It goes flat to deep third, where Hetmyer takes a couple of steps to his right before losing the ball in the lights. He ends up shielding his face with his hands as it flies past his left and bounces into the fence.

  • 3.1Nandre Burger to Abhishek Sharma. no run, Slams the deck really hard by bending his back, outside off. Abhishek Sharma is rushed into the back foot square cut, but the extra bounce means the ball zips over Sharma's angled bat.

  • Halt! Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is experiencing discomfort in his right leg. While trying to retrieve the ball on the last delivery of the previous over, he pulled up as he turned. Not a good sight as he is being helped off the field by the physio and the 12th man.

  • 2.6Jofra Archer to Ishan Kishan. FOUR, FOUR! Up and over the in-field! Serves it up there, full outside off. Ishan commits on the front foot and hammers it ruthlessly over Vaibhav Sooryavanshi at cover to pick up a boundary. 12 runs off the over.

  • 2.5Jofra Archer to Ishan Kishan. no run, Beaten again! This is top-notch fast bowling. In the channel of off, angling across the batter, on a good length. Ishan's feet go nowhere, and he tries to smash it behind cover-point, only to miss.

  • 2.4Jofra Archer to Ishan Kishan. no run, Absolute ripper! Now that's some response! Not too full, not too short either. This one spits up like a cobra and beats Ishan's attempted block on the front foot.

  • 2.3Jofra Archer to Ishan Kishan. FOUR, FOUR! Finds the gap again! Back of a length, with a little bit of width on offer, outside off. Ishan Kishan stands tall in his crease, in fact, rises on the toes and slaps it to the left of the diving point fielder to find the fence.

  • 2.2Jofra Archer to Ishan Kishan. no run, Keeps hitting the hard length, does Archer. Kishan prepares to play the square cut, but chops it down the strip.

  • 2.1Jofra Archer to Ishan Kishan. FOUR, FOUR! Fine touch! Kicks up from a good length, on off. Ishan Kishan rides the bounce, opens the bat face at the point of contact and finds the gap between backward point and short third for a boundary.
