Yusuf lets out a long, never-ending scream as RTD flays a full delivery straight down the ground to finish the job for KKR
SRH vs KKR, 43rd match at Hyderabad, IPL, May 18 2014 - Match Result
KKR won by 7 wickets (with 2 balls remaining)
That is all for tonight. Good bye
Umesh Yadav is the Man of the Match for his 3 for 26. Yadav: "I am very happy with my bowling and that we have won. I stuck to my plan, I have been working hard, my rhythm came back. I have been working on my basics. It was a good wicket, there was bounce, swing, I was enjoying bowling on it."
Gautam Gambhir: "I would not have reacted that way had I nicked it. Just happened in the heat of the moment. It was a big game for us. Happy with the way the rest of the guys batted. Want to give credit to the bowlers on such a wicket. Looking at the wicket, playing three spinners, we were looking at chasing 160-odd. The three spinners bowled brilliantly to restrict them."
Darren Sammy: "The dot balls at the end (of our innings) cost us. The bowlers fought back to make a game out of it. We know that catches win matches, we dropped two crucial ones today. Different conditions from last year (in Hyderabad) but we have had some good games. We have not capitalised on key moments. It is not over, we have to win all three and hope some results go in our favour."
Players shake hands and Yusuf gets a long, warm embrace from Irfan. Wasn't as easy a chase in the end as it seemed to be at the innings break but Yusuf and Ryan ten Doeschate stepped up at the death
a yorker, he's squeezed it off the stumps to backward point, the throw misses at the non-striker's and they taken one more
Tendo does it, he makes room outside leg, Bhuvneshwar goes full on middle and off, Tendo launches it flat over extra cover, and it is timed so well it goes just over the rope
low full toss turned in the gap wide of deep midwicket but Warner races across to keep them to one
Top over from Steyn
shuffles across, opens up but can only get a single to deep midwicket as Steyn is very full on the stumps again
moves outside off and turns the full toss to deep midwicket
nearly 150 kph length ball from Steyn, RTD has a swing and miss outside off
Yusuf walks across once more, he wants to work a full delivery to leg, but it swings away very late, and the leading edge goes over point
Kamal: "Someone please hide the Panic button from KKR!!!"
Yusuf moves across and swings hard at a full delivery, slices it over point, comes back for the second, has to dive in, makes it
opens the face on a length ball and takes the single to third man
AHMAD OMAR: "OMG!!! whats going on!!!! YP is playing a match winning innings..... Am I watching cricinfo commentary in my dreams or what ? Somebody pinch me please....."
Dale Steyn
one more full toss, around off, forced to long on
full and wide goes Bhuvneshwar, Yusuf has a heave, thick edge races to third man
full on the pads, worked to Irfan at square leg
full and wide, RTD square drives in the air and picks up four to the deep backward point boundary, one bounce and over the rope
Vishwas: "Stage set for KKR to snatch defeat from Jaws of Victory"
another full toss, Yusuf swipes, it flies down to long off along the ground
Yusuf gets maximum off the first ball of the over, it is a full toss, and he mows it over deep midwicket
Rajesh Dahari: "Whenever you say RTD, I remember Resistance temperature detector in instrumentation engineering........."
yet another full toss, quite wide too, Yusuf slams it straight to extra cover
a low full toss driven wide of the sweeper, there could have been a second, but Yusuf slipped while trying to turn
Irfan keeping it full outside off, Yusuf slogs but only drags it to deep midwicket
he moves outside off stump again, Irfan follows him with a full one, only a single to long on
