that's it! slower ball again, and Sammy gets it up and over cover, down towards the sweeper on the off side boundary. It goes bouncing down towards that fielder, giving the batsmen enough time to run the two runs they needed to win.

Full commentary
It's time for the presentation. Darren Sammy "We needed a win, last game in front of these beautiful fans. Those last two overs from Bhuvi and Dale kept us in the game. Credit to our openers. We'll go to Ranchi, try for a clinical performance, hope other results go our way."
David Warner is the Man of the Match. "Different batting at the top. Wanted to bat till the end. Unfortunate run out for Shikhar, we'll have to work on that. Credit to the curators. They've produced fantastic wickets for us. We just wanted to back our instinct. Credit to Shikhar. Nice to see him dig in and get a good total after the first six."
That's it from us. Hope you enjoyed the game, and thanks for following our updates and sending in your comments.
While we wait for the presentation, you can start following tonight's other game, between Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings, here. If you can't bear to leave this page, we can tell you KKR have won the toss and chosen to field. Pat Cummins, excitingly enough, makes his IPL debut.
Rohan: "One move by RR has opened up the entire tournament! With this SRH win, 5 teams have a chance of qualifying for the playoffs; don't think the latter half of any previous edition has been as interesting as this one!"
Naman Ojha "Davy and Shikhar set the tone for us, and me and Finchy played well to get us through. Hopefully, this is the right batting order for us, because it's clicked."
Chennai Super Kings, as a result of Sunrisers' victory today, have confirmed a Playoff slot.
Virat Kohli says Royal Challengers did well to pull it back after the start Sunrisers got. He says the pitch became slightly better to bat on under lights, which they hadn't expected before the toss.
"I was looking to step up for the team," he says, about his own innings. "No contribution is good enough if you don't win the game."
Handshakes all around. This is an important win for Sunrisers. Royal Challengers, now, will have to depend on other results if they are to go through to the playoffs. They did well to score 112 from their last 10 overs, but the fact that they only scored 48 in the first 10 came back to hurt them.

Aaron isn't happy. Kohli isn't happy. It's a wide yorker, and it sends a cloud of white as it hits the tramline outside off, but it's given wide.
