4.4 : 4.4: Kartik Tyagi to Jonny Bairstow, OUT! CAUGHT! Stunning take from Samson. A good delivery from Tyagi and he is pumped up! Got smashed for a biggie previous ball but gets the revenge on the very next one. He bangs it short and bowls it just outside off, Jonny wants to take him on so he goes for the pull towards deep mid-wicket but ends up getting a top edge. It balloons high to the right side of Samson. He runs to that side and dives to take a superb catch. |

8.6 : 8.6: Ben Stokes to David Warner, FOUR! He will be pleased now though. Short ball outside off, Warner slaps it wide of the long off fielder and gets a boundary. Good way to end the over. |

14.4 : 14.4: Jofra Archer to David Warner, OUT! TIMBER! Archer has struck and Warner has to go back to the hut. Archer has done what was expected from him as he has removed the very dangerous Warner! Archer bowls a full ball around middle, Warner makes some room and looks to play this but competely misses it and the ball goes onto hit the stumps. Much required breakthrough for Rajasthan! |
15.1 : 15.1: Rahul Tewatia to Manish Pandey, IN THE AIR...SAFE AND A FOUR! That should have been taken but Tyagi in the deep was standing a little too ahead of the ropes. Flatter around middle, Pandey dances down the track and pulls this one towards the deep square leg region, Kartik Tyagi in the deep jumps up but does not judge it well as it goes over him for a four. |
15.4 : 15.4: Rahul Tewatia to Manish Pandey, SIX! Everytime Pandey has danced down the track, he has hammered a boundary! Great batting by him so far! Flatter around middle, Pandey comes down the track and lofts this one over the deep mid-wicket region for a huge six. |

17.4 : 17.4: Jaydev Unadkat to Manish Pandey, OUT! CAUGHT! The slower one works for Unadkat. Pandey's good innings comes to an end. Unadkat bangs it short and bowls it just outside off and rolls his fingers around too. Pandey once again skips down the track and goes for the pull this time. But he has to generate a lot of power and drag it far from him. He ends up getting a top edge. Tewatia from long on comes forward and takes it easily. A fine knock from Pandey. |
18.1 : 18.1: Jofra Archer to Kane Williamson, SIX! Excellent start to the over for Hyderabad. It wasn't off the middle of the bat but it just sails over. Full and wide outside off, Williamson backs away to make room. He does really well to reach out and then smoke it over the bowler's head for a biggie. |
18.6 : 18.6: Jofra Archer to Kane Williamson, SIX! Hammered! The first was a biggie! The last one is as well. Fine stroke and over for Hyderabad. It is short and on the body of Williamson. He moves inside the crease and pulls it over square leg for a biggie. |
19.1 : 19.1: Jaydev Unadkat to Priyam Garg, SIX! Garg goes big now! A good length ball outside off, Garg clears his front leg and smokes it over deep mid-wicket for a biggie. 12 runs off the last two balls. |
19.5 : 19.5: Jaydev Unadkat to Priyam Garg, FOUR! Nicely done! A bouncer from Unadkat, a slower one but the line is down the leg side. Garg waits and then pulls it over short fine leg.

0.3 : 0.3: Sandeep Sharma to Ben Stokes, FOUR! Boom and that is Stokes' way to get off the mark! A good length ball around middle, Ben jumps out of crease and slams it over mid on for a boundary. |
1.2 : 1.2: Khaleel Ahmed to Ben Stokes, OUT! DRAGGED ON! Khaleel has struck early and Stokes is the man who departs. A good length ball just outside off, Stokes looks to pull it hard on the leg side but he ends up getting an inside edge on his stumps. Khaleel is pumped and so is his skipper. Exactly the start Hyderabad needed. No party for Stokes in his first game. |
3.2: T Natarajan to Jos Buttler, FOUR! CRUNCHED! A bouncer now but it sits up nicely for Buttler to pull. He goes hard and slams it over mid-wicket and bags a boundary. |
3.3 : 3.3: T Natarajan to Jos Buttler, SIX! This time over the fence! Cracking stroke! That went over the fence like a tracer bullet. Not a good place to bowl to Buttler. Short and down the leg side, he moves inside the crease and powers it over the deep square leg fence for a biggie. |
3.4 : 3.4: T Natarajan to Jos Buttler, OUT! RUN OUT! Smith is short! Huge moment in the game! A timid way for the skipper to depart. Another short ball around the pads, it is the slower one. Buttler pulls it hard towards deep square leg. They want two. Shankar, the fielder there, fires the throw towards the bowler's end. Natarajan collects and pushes it on the stumps. The third umpire has been called for. Replays roll in and it shows that Smith is well short. |
4.1 : 4.1: Khaleel Ahmed to Jos Buttler, OUT! CAUGHT! Khaleel Ahmed and Hyderabad are on fire here today! They have also removed Buttler now and Rajasthan's batting is falling apart like a deck of cards! He bowls a back of a length ball around off and middle, Buttler looks to play at this but it knicks off his inside edge and passes through just touching his pads and Bairstow is not going to drop these chances. Hyderabad have started off with a bang! |
4.4 : 4.4: Khaleel Ahmed to Robin Uthappa, SIX! What a way to get off the mark. A short ball on middle, Uthappa moves inside the crease and pulls it over short fine leg for a biggie. |
4.6 : 4.6: Khaleel Ahmed to Robin Uthappa, EDGY FOUR! 10 off the over but the massive wicket of Buttler in it. A slower bouncer, Uthappa looks to pull and at the last moment, tries to bail out. But he is late in doing so. Luckily for him, the top edge flies over the keeper's head for a boundary. |
6.2 : 6.2: Abhishek Sharma to Sanju Samson, FOUR! Sanju Samson has to get going if Rajasthan are to stand a chance! Flatter around leg, Samson pulls this one hard towards the fine leg area and he will get a boundary. |
6.3 : 6.3: Abhishek Sharma to Sanju Samson, FOUR! Back-to-back boundaries for Sanju! He needs some more of these shots! Flatter around off, Samson makes some room and crunches this through the cover region to bag a boundary. |
8.6 : 8.6: Vijay Shankar to Sanju Samson, FOUR! Sanju Samson seems to have found his groove back in this game by the looks of it. This is a brilliant shot by him! Shankar bowls a back of a length ball outside off, Sanju waits for it and then cuts this one towards the backward point region and bags a boundary to finish the over. Rajasthan require 96 runs in 66 balls. |
9.1 : 9.1: Rashid Khan to Robin Uthappa, OUT! LBW! Three reds and Uthappa has to go. The mini-break works for Rashid and Hyderabad. A flatter ball around middle and leg, it is a bit quicker too. Uthappa tries to flick but misses to get hit on the pad. A loud appeal follows and the finger goes up. Uthappa wants to challenge it as he signals the 'T'. Replays roll in and shows three reds. That means Uthappa has to go and he takes the review along with him. |
11.6 : 11.6: Rashid Khan to Sanju Samson, OUT! TAKEN! Rashid strikes again! Samson is the man who departs! Huge wicket. Full and outside off, Samson sees the width and looks to drive. He ends up getting a faint tickle behind. Bairstow makes no mistake there. Rashid is flying. 81 needed in 48 balls. |
