over the third man boundary and that's the game! Bounce in the corridor, backs away once more and swishes at it. This time he's managed to get bat on it and that seals the game

Full commentary
11:37pm And that is all from our commentary section tonight. Stick around for the report and Sidharth Monga on Mohammad Nabi. Good night!
Jonny Bairstow: As you mentioned, there was probably a little less bounce. It was a good toss to win, so we were able to see how to play on wickets like that. Probably the first such pitch we've come across this season. Really pleased with the start, just going to try and keep going. We have three games in quick succession now and hopefully we keep playing the same brand of cricket.
Jonny Bairstow is the Man of the Match.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar: When the team does well, captaincy is always easy. Captain is as good as his team. With the toss we were not sure how the wicket was going to play. We were not surprised but we knew it wouldn't be too slow in the second innings. Second half of the IPL, it's going to be slow all over India, and we have to be choosy with our XI. Kane is almost there [to full fitness].
Rashid Khan: Wonderful display, especially the bowlers. The way the used the wicket was superb. The way Jonny started the innings was crucial for us. Credit goes to all the bowlers. By looking at the wicket, it was looking like a 145-150 wicket. That was the plan and we bowled really well to restrict them to 130. [The collapse] came to my mind once we lost two wickets, but in the end Yusuf and Nabi controlled their nerves.
Shreyas Iyer: Last two games have been the same. Tough wicket and since they bowled first, they had a bit of an idea how to go about it. We didn't bat well. It's another learning, we should come back positively. After the first time-out, we thought 140-150 would have been a great total. And we had three spinners, so we could have pounced on them. Unfortunately we were short. I needed a little bit of support from someone at the other end from someone in the top 4. But it's a good lesson for us. The way we came back in the second innings was appreciable. The bowlers came up and that is good to see.
Krishna: "If Nabi plays, SRH will win"
Claire : "You have to marvel at Nabi's Innings on this pitch. "
Naveen: "Top batting slots #4 to #7 belong to DC. Yet they are struggling for wins. Team balance? Bowler shortage? "
Niranjan Rudra: "Who would have thought that warner striker rate is less than everyone in this match .. given that opening partnership is 70 at 9 RR."
11:18pm A little too close, but it's still a big win for Sunrisers. You have to marvel at Jonny Bairstow's innings on this pitch. Out-batted anyone who came out today, an outlandish strike-rate of 171 on a pitch where even his partner Warner couldn't hit a single boundary. And in hindisght, the defining performance in the match for Sunrisers. Capitals came back strongly, showed fight that is encouraging after their devastating loss, but they got too few after being put in and they paid for it. Nabi, Sunrisers' most in-form player at the moment - did it with the ball, and returned to make the winning runs. Sunrisers have jumped to the top of the table.

Rabada to M Nabi, FOUR runs
thick inside edge but it's four! Oh there is no justice as a bowler sometimes. Slower ball at a length on off stump, he backs away and wants to club it over mid-off. Gets it past midwicket

Rabada to Pathan, 1 run
diving stop at mid-off and a crucial one from Iyer. Length ball in the corridor and it was nicely punched past extra cover

Morris to M Nabi, FOUR runs
oh poor ball. Short and slanted down leg side. Nabi holds his poise and just runs his hands through this to get it fine
Paramvir Singh: "Why not bowl Tewatia for this over?" --- Likely because a spinner is exactly what Yusuf would want
17.3
1
Morris to Pathan, 1 run
leading edge but safe! Full on leg stump, a nervous attempt at a flick and it lobs up safely to land in front of long-on
Ponting seemed to have told Iyer to go with Morris. Yusuf doesn't enjoy facing pace. WIll he still go after him?

Top over. And a big one coming up now. You just know Sunrisers will go after all the non-Rabada bowlers...so who will Iyer go with? Looks like Morris.

Emanuel Raj: "@kritish, I beg to differ, He was the Captain of his state side which won the Domestic T20 championship, He didn't contribute much either. "
Arumugham GR: "Only YJB innings is turning out to be the difference between the teams."
Time out! Some of you asking about Forecaster - it still has Sunrisers at a 94% chance of winning. Capitals were at 77% the other day before their collapse....

W
Lamichhane to Hooda, OUT
taken at deep midwicket. Googly, slow and dipping outside off - that's the way to do it on this pitch! Gets the front leg down the track and looks to slog-sweep. Can't get anywhere near enough connection. Rabada runs in and holds on

Lamichhane to Hooda, 2 runs
tossed up at a length outside off, a googly. Steps out and looks to flick. Gets a thick inside edge into the square leg region where it is Ishant's duty to sprint and keep it to one. He doesn't manage it
Sandeep's been a little too flat today
