Robin Jackman gets Hyderabad to cheer madly. "Are you happy Hyderabad?" he asks and they go mad.

It's delight for Sanga and the boys. After eight IPL losses here, Deccan finally record a win.

Sharma on bowling his four straight up: Sanga told me I am bowling well so I should carry on and get wickets. Whatever the team needs from me, I'm ready to do it, whether it means bowling all four at once or coming back at the death.

The win moves the Chargers into the top four, although they are the only team, along with Bangalore, to have played three matches.

Nagraj Gollapudi will have the bulletin ready in a few minutes and you can read it here .

That's it from me and Sanjay, my scorer today. Look forward to doing it all again soon.

18.6
Steyn to Vettori, no run

Vettori backs away far, Steyn sends it wide of offstump and there's no run. They're going to need more than a Herschelle Gibbs six sixes here. The last over could well be a formality

Steyn on a hat-trick. Big appeal for lbw, but strikes Vettori on the pads outside off and they ran through for the leg-bye.

Gony to Kohli, OUT

It's over. Gony ges for a big hit over mid-wicket but misreads the delivery. It's a slower ball and it goes on to hit off stump. Th big man is gone, he kicks the ground in frustration as he leaves. This is a big ask for Bangalore now.

Gony to Kohli, SIX runs

Full toss and smacked! bashed! He's got that many, many rows back, over long on and that's a huge one

Gony to Kohli, FOUR runs

Kohli makes big room for himself, drive in the air to long off. Ankit was there and has been marshalling his boundary well all night but can't get to that.
