Sandeep Sharma	3	0	30	1	10.00	5	4	1	0	0
8.4 to YBK Jaiswal, chopped on next ball! Continues around the wicket and attempts a full-pitched ball. Jaiswal comes down the track to attack it but it's dipping as he meets it on the full toss, and it takes the inside edge onto the stumps. 67/2
Bhuvneshwar Kumar	4	1	28	1	7.00	8	3	0	1	0
1.1 to E Lewis, length ball, on leg stump, and that's worked just as SRH planned! Swivels to whips one off his waist to find fine leg, but it's gone squarer... and taken by Samad at deep backward square. Lewis played a similar shot last over but that was along the ground. This one was up in the air. 11/1
Jason Holder	4	0	27	0	6.75	7	1	1	1	0
Siddarth Kaul	4	0	36	2	9.00	10	3	2	0	0
19.2 to SV Samson, lobs that to long-on! The bat turns in his hands as he tries to use his wrists and bottom hand to loft that over the leg side. But the ball is pretty full and just outside off for that shot, which means he doesn't have the room for a free swing of the arms despite standing deep in his crease and making room. 161/4 19.4 to R Parag, taken by Roy at long-off after going low to his right! Looked like there would be a near collision between him and Holder, who was running to his left with his eyes on the ball, but that is avoided. Parag tries to lift that full delivery in the slot on off, but only gets the height. 162/5
Rashid Khan	4	0	31	1	7.75	7	2	1	1	0
10.1 to LS Livingstone, short delivery on middle, and pulled to fine leg! The fielder has to run forward a few steps after Livingstone goes deep in his crease to this short ball which is turning away from him a touch. But he gets that off this higher side of the bat, and sends that into Samad's hands. 77/3

12.6 to PK Garg, lobbed back, and gone! Mustafizur bowls a slower ball again, as this is an offcutter on a full length on middle and leg. Garg presents the full face of the bat, but can only chip that back to the bowler, who goes low and across to his right to complete the take. Any twists awaiting us maybe?. 119/3
Mahipal Lomror	3	0	22	1	7.33	6	1	1	0	0
5.1 to WP Saha, around the stumps. And gets Saha first ball. He will be disappointed falling this way. Saha skips down the ground to this full ball outside off, but it stays low. Saha misses the slog over midwicket, and is slow to get inside the stumps while Samson pulls off the stumping. 57/1
Rahul Tewatia	3	0	32	0	10.66	3	3	1	2	0
Chetan Sakariya	4	0	32	1	8.00	7	1	1	4	0
11.6 to JJ Roy, Looks to scoop but ends up playing it too fine. The umpire asks Roy to wait even though Sakariya is already off in celebration and Roy is also walking back. A good take by Samson too, tumbling to his left and clutching at it. That was a slower one, on a length around leg stump, Roy looked to scoop that over after going a touch across, but only got a tickle. A commanding innings comes to an end. 114/2
