11.54: It's all over! SRH beat CSK by 22 runs to move up to 5th spot! After David Warner's blitzy knock of 61, Moises Henriqes (2/20) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2/32) bowled with great discipline to keep the star-studded Chennai side at bay. Despite the loss, Chennai remain on top while Hyderabad now move up to 5th spot.
11.48: CSK reach 164/6 in 19 overs. Need 29 runs to win off the final over.

11.19: BOWLED HIM! Ashish Reddy is on a wild celebration run! He has cleaned up Mahendra Singh Dhoni! Is this the end of CSK's chase? Dwayne Bravo walks in. CSK 114/5 (12.5 overs)ÂÂ
11.14: RUN OUT! Ah, that's unfortunate! Faf Du Plessis is gone for 33. Dhoni hits a full toss straight back and the ball hits the umpire and falls near the non-striker's end. Du Plessis was too far out and Ashish Reddy - the bowler - picked up the ball and forced a direct throw. Dhoni didn't seem to enjoy that. Faf has to walk back. CSK 114/4 (12.4 overs)
11.03: At the halfway stage, CSK reach 87/3 in their chase v SRH (192/7). The league leaders need 106 off the final ten overs. Over to MS Dhoni!
10.50: Moises Henriques strikes again! This time, it's a big fish! Suresh Raina has hit one straight to Eoin Morgan at long-off. He goes for 23. CSK 68/3 (7.4 overs)
10.39: OUT! Moises Henriques strikes with a slower one! Dwayne Smith misjudged it, top-edged it and Hanuma Vihari took a good, running, diving catch. CSK 48/2 (5.1 overs)
10.35: And another six! Raina plays a sensational flick off Praveen Kumar for a six. CSK's chase is well and truly on track. 48/1 (5 overs)
10.28: SIX! Dwayne Smith takes charge now! Bhuvneshwar tries a slower one but Smith sees it and launches it over long on. CSK 36/1 (3.4 overs)

10.22: GONE! McCullum is bowled! No century this time! Bhuvneshwar bowls a good length ball and McCullum plays the ball onto his stumps. CSK 14/1 (1.5 overs)
10.17: Brendon McCullum on FIRE...as usual! He starts with three powering boundaries off countryman Trent Boult in the first over. CSK 13/0 (1 over)
10.00: Good over from Bravo in the end but Sunrisers Hyderabad have done well to post 192/7. Warner said at that the toss that he was looking to bat first and that a score of 160-170 would be a good one. The wicket looks a belter and Hyderabad will have to be very good with the ball to keep the star-studded Chennai batting line-up from chasing down their total. Interesting chase coming up.
09.52: Good over for SRH! Eoin Morgan throws his bat around, gets lucky with a doubtful decision and a sitter from McCullum. 15 runs off it. SRH 185/5 (19 overs)
09.46: FOUR! A good over from Bravo ends in a four! Bravo bowls a short ball and Hanuma Vihari guides it to the third man fence. SRH 170/5 (18 overs)
09.42: GONE! Ashish Reddy is gone for six, caught behind by Dhoni off Bravo. Good change of pace from the West Indian and Reddy is foxed easily. SRH 163/5 (17.2 overs)
09.40: Excellent over from Nehra! A wicket and just four runs off it. SRH 159/4 (17 overs)
09.37: OUT! Naman Ojha's cameo is over as he is bowled by Ashish Nehra for 20. SRH 156/4 (16.1 overs)
09.26: Naman Ojha has taken the charge here! Even with Morgan at the other end. After two fours off Mohit's over, he follows it up with a four and six off Ronit More.
09.25: Play resumes and Naman Ojha gets two back-to-back fours - both flying to the third man fence off outside edge. SRH 143/3 (15 overs)
09.12: Delay! One of the light towers has shut down, forcing the players off the field. SRH 133/3 (14.1 overs)
09.02: OUT! Shikhar Dhawan is run out! He flicked a Raina delivery to deep mid-wicket and called for a two. An accurate throw from Jadeja caught Dhawan short of his ground by a good distance. SRH 131/3 (13 overs)
08.54: Eoin Morgan - playing for Ravi Bopara - joins Shikhar Dhawan in the middle. How much can SRH get in the second half of their innings?

08.52: OUT! Moises Henriques' cameo ends. He goes for 19 off 9 balls, stumped by Dhoni off a flighted ball from Pawan Negi. SRH 107/2 (10 overs)
Back up bowler gives you 4 overs at 7/over and a wicket. Can't ask for more. Value of Suresh Raina. #CSK PepsiIPL

08.21: Warner and Dhawan are on absolute fire! They've taken SRH to 62/0 in 5 overs. Brendon McCullum will be itching to get his pads on.
08.15: Warner is in the mood! He seems to have a special knock up his sleeve for the home fans. He has swifty moved on to 29 off just 10 balls. SRH 35/0 (3 overs)
08.08: Ahead of the match, Muralitharan, Stephen Fleming and Michael Hussey were in conversation!

08.05: Starts with a four, ends with a four! Warner ends the first over with a drive through covers. There seems to be a bit of bounce in the Hyderabad track. SRH 10/0 (1 over)
08.02: FOUR! David Warner begins SRH's innings with a cracking pull shot off Mohit Sharma! SRH 4/0 (0.1)
07.49: Meanwhile in Bangalore, Kolkata Knight Riders have posted 111/4 in 10 overs! Rain threatened to play spoilsport but the match is now excellently poised. Can the batting powerhouse at RCB scale down the mountain posted by KKR. The chase is just getting underway.

At the half-way mark of the IPL, Hyderabad have more lost games than they have won. Their middle-order have collapsed far too often and their bowling hasn't lived up to the hype. Even the 'dream pair' of Dale Steyn and Trent Boult haven't been able to spur the Sunrisers on.
The biggest worry for the Sunrisers is their faltering middle-order. None of the batsmen have put in a decent performance and the over-dependence on their openers, David Warner and Shikhar Dhawan, has got them nowhere in the tournament.
Chennai Super Kings, on the other hand, have been on the mark. They have won six out of their eight games and despite their loss against the Kolkata Knight Riders, MS Dhoni's men have looked formidable.
The bowling has been spot on in most games and coupled with brilliant fielding, Super Kings have steam-rolled oppositions. The batting though, has a a couple of hiccups. Suresh Raina hasn't been his usual self and Faf du Plessis haven't had a decent dig till now.
However, the biggest worry for Chennai is the injury to Ravichandran Ashwin. Pawan Negi is not as menacing as the Super Kings off-spinner and his absence means Super Kings losing control during the middle overs.
At the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, the home team need to get a move on to their campaign while the table-toppers would look to strengthen their perch at the top.
