That win leaves SRH with eight points from 10 games, and a fifth position on the table. The same as KXIP but better on NRR. Their campaigns have some life yet. Thanks for joining us. See you tomorrow

Manish Pandey, Man of the Match: "Enough talks had happened around the middle order. High time for us to perform. Had a word with Laxman sir and the coaches. Didn't want too many thoughts. Just hold my shape and play my shots. Two really good batsmen that we lost, but as someone said, this was an opportunity for us to win the game. And it was long due. Our plan was to see Jofra off even if he had bowled a third. We had two leggies and a couple of Indian fast bowlers to go after. I just middled the first ball, and automatically I thought if I keep my shape and use the Powerplay, I could finish this well before the final over."

David Warner: "It was a stunning performance. Starts with the toss where you questioned my decision to chase. We were able to bring them back after Powerplay. All in all, the kind of game we were asking for. I was frustrated that in these games because in these games against world-class bowlers, when there is a bit of seam or swing. And it is jagging at 150ks. And you are trying to get through the over. And the edge goes straight to hand. Jason adds an extra string to our bow. His height. His experience. And he couldn't bat today, but he is an all-round package. It is just great to show people that we do have a middle order. For them to come out and play like this, I am so happy for them. They showed they can build a platform for us to get across the line. Or set a big total. I am chuffed for them. We probably are a better defending team, but my decision to chase was based on the last two games. And the weather is cooler, with dew around, it might be flipping around for evertone."

Steven Smith: "I thought we started really well. Jofra obviously taking the tow big wickets early. But we couldn't keep the foot on the pedal. The wicket got better. There was a fair bit of dew on for some reason. The third over for Jofra was on my mind, discussed it with a couple of guys. In hindsight, yeah, should have bowled a third straight over."

SRH's first successful chase this year, and how convincing. And how it has come despite failures for the two big overseas batsmen. Despite their limitations, SRH bowled smartly to keep RR in check before Pandey just ran away with the chase despite a red-hot Archer spell that left them down at 2 for nothing. He kisses his bat as he walks off. Which is just as well. Everything came off the middle tonight. This will leave RR in the all-but-out box with CSK. And RR will go into the bracket occupied by KXIP, and before this night, RR: in with a reasonable chance

Final timeout of the night

15.6
1
Archer to Shankar, 1 run

short of a length, following him, tucked away off the hip

From Bharath Seervi: "Only the second century partnership between two Indian batsmen for SRH. First was way back in their first season, between Dhawan and Parthiv Patel, that too in the 2013 Champions League."

15.5
Archer to Shankar, no run

another short ball, and another ramp attempted. Beaten again

15.4
Archer to Shankar, no run

bouncer at 149.1ks, and Shankar is still looking to ramp this. Beaten

15.3
4
Archer to Shankar, FOUR runs

the best of the lot. Slower ball, picked early, in his slot, and drilled right back over his head

15.2
4
Archer to Shankar, FOUR runs

and now he goes mid-on. Smith is looking to attack and he takes on that field. Gueeses this will be short, so he makes room and short-arm pulls him over mid-on

15.1
4
Archer to Shankar, FOUR runs

and Shankar says he is in enough to be taking Archer on. He knows mid-off is up, and he sets himself to go over that man. On top of the bounce, and inside-out over that man. Clean swing

No, Smith won't wait now. He will roll the dice for a final time. Archer will bowl out now
