4.6 overs (0 Run) OUT! CAUGHT! That was not an easy catch but Rashid Khan does so well to get under this one and he has taken a brilliant catch. Mandeep has been looking for the big shot for some time but he has mistimed it and that will be the end of him. Sandeep bowls a good length ball around off, Mandeep cannot resist and goes for the slog sweep over the mid-wicket fence but the shot does not have the juice required to cross the ropes and it hangs over the mid-wicket region.
4.5 overs (0 Run) On off, Mandeep pushes this to the point region.
4.4 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Misfield and this will fetch a boundary to Punjab! On a good length around off, Mandeep hammers this one towards the deep mid-wicket fence. The fielder runs to his right but fumbles and this will be a boundary.
4.3 overs (2 Runs) On a good length around off, Mandeep chips this one over the mid off fielder and it lands safe. The batters collect a couple.
4.2 overs (1 Run) On a good length on middle, Rahul eases this one to the long on region for a single.
4.1 overs (6 Runs) SIX! WOW! What a beauty of a shot! The sound of bat leaving the ball was poetry! Short of a good length ball around off, Rahul pulls this one hard towards the deep square leg fence for a biggie.
3.6 overs (2 Runs) IN THE AIR...SAFE! That hung in the air for so long but luckily for Mandeep, it could not be caught. On a fullish length around middle, Mandeep looks to go big and lofts this one down the ground but he does not time it well and it balloons over the long off region. Warner backtracks and tries to scalp this one but he is not able to. Two runs taken.
3.5 overs (1 Run) Good length around the off pole, Rahul works this to the deep point region for a single.
3.4 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Slashed! What a shot by the skipper! Short of a good length ball around middle, Rahul pulls this one fine towards the mid-wicket fence and it will run away to the ropes.
3.3 overs (1 Run) On a good length around off, Mandeep plays this to the deep point region for one.
3.2 overs (2 Runs) Back of a length delivery around middle and off, Mandeep pulls this one over the mid-wicket fence but the timing was not the best as the fielder cuts it off. A couple taken.
3.1 overs (1 Run) Short of a good length ball around off, Rahul works this to the deep point region for a single.
2.6 overs (1 Run) A single to end the over as Rahul works this to the cover region. The fielder does well to half stop this and Warner cleans up the rest. Another good over for Hyderabad. 4 runs only.
2.5 overs (0 Run) On off, Rahul cuts this one but finds the man at point.
2.4 overs (3 Runs) Back of a length ball outside off, Mandeep slashes this one over the cover-point region and the fielder does well to run and drag it behind before it touches the ropes. Three runs collected by the batters.
2.3 overs (0 Run) Third dot of the over as Singh works this towards the cover fielder.
2.2 overs (0 Run) Short of a good length outside off, Mandeep works this to the point region and looks for the single but Rahul is quick to send him back to his crease.
2.1 overs (0 Run) Back of a length delivery outside off, tailing into Mandeep slightly, he pushes it to the cover region.
1.6 overs (0 Run) A dot to end the over as Rahul drives this one to Rashid at covers. Another good over for Hyderabad. Just 4 runs.
1.5 overs (0 Run) On off, worked to the off side.
1.4 overs (4 Runs) EDGY FOUR! First boundary of the innings and it is off the edge but Punjab won't care! On a good length outside off, Rahul looks to drive but it comes off his outside edge and goes past the ropes at third man for a boundary.
1.3 overs (0 Run) NOT OUT! KL Rahul survives! What a close call this was! Back of a length ball around off, Rahul taps this towards point and looks for the single. Mandeep sends him back and Rahul runs back into his crease as the throw comes in and the wickets are hit. Replays roll in and KL Rahul's bat was in. Close call, this.
The third umpire is called into play. A direct hit and was Rahul lazy to get back? Is he short? His body language does not seem the best.
