one more bowler gets a wicket on the last ball of his spell. Full on off, Grandhomme lofted pretty high and straight down the ground and who takes the catch? It's Rashid Khan again
SRH vs KKR, 37th match at Hyderabad, Apr 30 2017 - Ball by Ball Commentary
That's all we have from Hyderabad today, thanks for turning in, people. We'll wrap up, head home and bring you all the action for another double header later on Monday. Until then, it's goodbye and good luck from Nikhil and Vishal. Ciao!
Captain Warner is the Man of the Match: It was outstanding, we generally look to bat first and set the tone with a positive intent from ball one. We managed to maintain the run rate of 10 an over, which was amazing. We (him and Dhawan) keep working around the strike and we've been gelling together over all. Credit to out bowlers: to Siraj, the way he's been learning and performing; Bhuvi is amazing.
12.17am A clinical performance from Sunrisers, led by the captain Warner's blazing century. It wasn't all over at the innings break though, KKR have the firepower to chase 210. Warner then used his bowlers smartly, Bhuvneshwar bowled with guile, the spinners took the pace off the ball, Kaul dismissed Gambhir with a knuckle ball and Siraj bowled a few to Uthappa outside off when he was clubbing sixes over midwicket. KKR still lead the table with their run rate but Sunrisers are the only team unbeaten at home. This is their fifth win in five home games. No away win yet.
Gambhir: We need to improve in our feeling, we've been very sloppy throughout the tournament. We really need to pull up our socks. It all depends on concentration, how much you can focus and how much every run means to you, it's not like we don't know how to field. We dropped Warner today and that's what cost us. Bowler's couldn't have done much, but credit goes to him for the shots he played.
Harsh: "I still feel KKR hasnt got their overseas combination right ... They need to replace Woakes with Shakib and Grandhomme with Powell before the knockouts. These two arent really adding anything to the team especially Grandhomme and two of the spots are being wasted regularly." Or maybe they aren't using Grandhomme properly?
short and quick at 136kph, almost a bouncer as Grandhomme pulls and misses
pranvesh: "SRH and its pace bowling..always a joy to watch ...last year fizz nehra ji and sran ..and this year siraj & kaul alongside bhuvi.."
another slower delivery, closer to the batsman, and a leading edge goes to leg for one
slower ball at 116kph, well outside off and Woakes nudges it late to beat short third man for a four
bit of room with the full delivery outside off, driven nice and square to the deep on off
nice pace from Kaul, just outside off and he defends it for one
Last six from Kaul
Bhuvneshwar finishes with 2 for 29 from four overs. What a tournament he is having
the teenager takes another catch, this time at deep midwicket. No pace on the ball, only angling in a bit and Jackson swings it away, not with the kind of power CdG does, and it sails towards the boundary where Rashid is ready to pouch it
charges down a little casually and pulls the back of length ball to wide long on for one. Bounces once before reaching Rashid
takes the pace off, 120kph, Jackson lofts it down to long on for one
almost a yorker on leg, CdG tries to flick and gets an inside edge onto the pad for a single only
towards the middle stump now, he swings but manages an inside edge towards square leg
swinging in late and accurately towards the pads, deflects away towards off for a leg bye
61 more to go, and 12 balls
full delivery outside off, driven nicely in the air and through the covers, just wide of extra cover in the gap for two
fuller and angling in, no room now and it goes off the inside edge
he connects and tonks that over midwicket for a massive six! Short ball angling and he clobbered that with such power, it was going nowhere but for a six
excellent yorker at 138kph just outside off, CdG brings his bat down but doesn't connect
Dipankar: "Some weekness in KKR's late middle order is being exposed here."
outside the off stump this time, big swing and a miss
bouncer first ball, it's pulled away a bit awkwardly and it lands well short of deep midwicket for two
a little bit outside the off stump and he drives it square of the wicket for one
No big boundaries since Uthappa left
makes some room and punches it to sweeper cover
Over 20 • KKR 161/7
