R Khan to du Plessis, Flighted and on off, driven through the line towards mid off for a run.
R Khan to du Plessis, Not out, it's missing the leg stump! Rashid's well-disguised googly ain't picked by du Plessis. He leans forward to defend but is beaten to get rapped on the pads. The appeal is upheld but Faf quickly takes the DRS. The replays confirm what I said earlier. Turning too much and missing the leg pole. Hyderabad trying to build relentless pressure now.
Review taken. It's for an lbw decision against Faf du Plessis. The Protea has taken it upstairs, thinking it's going down leg. Let's see now...
Harbhajan Singh will be the next batsman in. He didn't get to bowl a single ball in the first innings, can he make an impact with the bat?
S Sharma to D Chahar, OUT! It's a clean catch! Sandeep arrows in a fuller length ball, on middle, Chahar swings his bat across the line, although with limited followthrough of the bat, you can call it half-helicopter and as a result, the ball also flies only half the distance. It loops towards long on where Brathwaite comes running in forward and across to take a low catch. However, he is not too sure whether he has taken it cleanly or not and the umpires go upstairs. The soft signal is out. The replays now roll in and they show that Brathwaite has his fingers under the ball. Chahar has to continue walking off the park. A handy partnership is broken and Hyderabad will be delighted.
Deepak Chahar has holed out in the deep to Carlos Brathwaite. Though, the umpire isn't sure if the catch is taken cleanly or not. It's taken upstairs. The soft signal is out.
S Sharma to du Plessis, A miscued shot. Sharma's slower one is not picked by the South African who closes the face of his bat early. It comes out off the leading edge and rolls to covers for one.
S Sharma to du Plessis, FOUR! Bang! This one is full and outside off, du Plessis climbs onto the room and thwacks it over extra cover for a boundary. These two are doing it for Chennai.
S Sharma to du Plessis, Lands it on a length outside off, on the slower side, du Plessis throws his bat at it but fails to middle his shot. It rolls back to the bowler.
S Sharma to D Chahar, Nearly a yorker around off, Chahar drills it down to long off for a single.
S Sharma to D Chahar, SIX! Chahar has pulled this one out of screws. Anticipates the shortish ball and goes through with the swing of his bat. Not quite from the middle of the bat but still it has enough to fly over the fence. The umpire signals a biggie after getting the confirmation from upstairs.
Strategic break. 60 needed off 36 balls. This is still doable if Faf du Plessis gets some support from the other end. Hyderabad cannot afford to take the foot off the pedal. It's a pretty notorious format and the moment you relax, unexpected things happen.
Al Hasan to du Plessis, SIX! The South African is breaking the shackles. Gets a full delivery in his half, gives it the full whack of his bat and sends it whistling over the rope at long on. 14 from the over.
Al Hasan to du Plessis, FOUR! Misfield in the deep! Shakib once again is on the shorter side, around middle and leg, du Plessis goes deep inside the crease and smacks it towards wide long on. Pandey runs across to his left from deep mid-wicket, puts in a dive to stop it but the ball still manages to get deflected towards the rope. The long off fielder in the meantime overran there and had no chance of cutting it off either.
Al Hasan to D Chahar, Flatter and on middle, nudged towards mid on and Shakib himself ran after it. A single taken.
Al Hasan to du Plessis, Fires this flat and on middle, du Plessis knocks it down to long on for one.
Al Hasan to D Chahar, Loopy and full, on off, Chahar drives it down the ground to long off and rotates the strike.
Al Hasan to du Plessis, Flighted but too full on off, it's driven through covers for a run.
Shakib Al Hasan is back into the attack.
