SRH vs KXIP, IPL Live Cricket Score: Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kings XI Punjab

R Khan to M Agarwal, Too full outside off, no room for the ball to turn so Agarwal drills this towards sweeper cover. Gets off the mark with a single.

Mayank Agarwal is the next batsman in.

Strategic break!

R Khan to L Rahul, OUT! Rashid Khan strikes and the crowd goes wild! What a ripper! Lands it on middle and off, it turns every so slightly and that's enough to get Rahul. The batsman is forward to defend but gets beaten past the outside edge and has his stumps disturbed. First wicket down for Punjab, maybe a little too late. Their openers have given them a solid start.

R Khan to C Gayle, Gayle goes with the spin this time. Works it through backward square leg for one run.

R Khan to C Gayle, Spinning in on middle and leg, kicks off the deck a bit too. Gayle is back to work it away on the leg side but takes a rap on the pads. Loud appeal, correctly denied by the umpire.

R Khan to L Rahul, Short, flat on off, punched down to long on for a single.

R Khan to L Rahul, Leg break around off, just behind a driving length. It invites Rahul forward to block and beats the outside edge. Superb stuff to start with.

Rashid Khan to have a go with the ball.

B Thampi to C Gayle, Switches the angle again, full length ball on middle, Chris flicks it to mid-wicket.

B Thampi to L Rahul, Uses the angle well, it's on a length on middle, and tucks it through backward square leg for a run. Thampi came from over the wicket this time.

B Thampi to C Gayle, Top edge and it's fallen in no man's land! Shortish outside off, Gayle winds up for the big pull. Swings and gets a top edge which balloons over short third man. Falls right in the middle of the man in the ring and the fielder in the deep, who try to run and catch it. Single taken.

B Thampi to C Gayle, SIX! That has gone a long way! When he gets a hold of it, there's no point bothering or hoping for anything else. It's not coming back. Full on off, Gayle clears his front leg and then launches it high into the long on stands for half a dozen. The fifty comes up for Punjab with that.

B Thampi to C Gayle, Around the wicket to Gayle, Thampi angles in a length ball on off. It straightens up a touch, squares up the southpaw a bit as he defends it down on the track.

B Thampi to L Rahul, Full and fast on the pads, easily flicked through to deep mid-wicket for one.

Basil Thampi introduced into the bowling attack.

S Kaul to C Gayle, Could have easily dragged that back on. Full length ball on off, Gayle gives it the full swing of the bat, looking to clear long on probably. But instead, he gets a big inside edge past the leg stump. One run added to the total.

S Kaul to C Gayle, FOUR! Terrific placement from Gayle! Full on off, going across, Gayle knows third man is inside the ring, so he backs away a touch and steers it past the fielder there with an angled bat. It races away to the boundary line.

S Kaul to L Rahul, Comfortably pushes this to long on with the full face of the bat. Single results.

S Kaul to L Rahul, Just short! Nearly. KL backs away so Kaul follows him with a shortish ball. It's cut away, aerially, towards short third man where it falls short of a diving Sandeep Sharma.

S Kaul to L Rahul, FOUR! Not in complete control of that, but has enough to send it across the rope. Short of a length, Rahul comes out and somewhat mistimes the punch past mid on for a boundary.

S Kaul to L Rahul, Goes full, goes fast and attacks the stumps. Perhaps a fraction straighter in line than he'd have liked, but it's a good ball nonetheless. Rahul flicks it straight to mid-wicket.

Siddarth Kaul is brought into the attack.

S Sharma to C Gayle, Played to the point region by the batsman. End of the over.

S Sharma to L Rahul, Fraction straight in line, tapped in front of mid-wicket. No run taken.

M Nabi to L Rahul, Naah. Just takes the single. 16 from this over. Rahul punches this to long on and crosses over.

M Nabi to L Rahul, FOUR! 15 off the over so far. A big finish coming? On a driving length on off, Rahul kneels down and connects with the sweep nicely. Lifts it over short fine leg and finds the fence.

M Nabi to L Rahul, FOUR! Now follows it up with a boundary. This is good batting. Wide outside off, room to free his arms and Rahul throws everything at this. Carves it through cover-point and sends it across the fence.

M Nabi to L Rahul, SIX! Half-tracker... no need to guess what's happened next. With the form Rahul's in, he's not going to miss out on those. He shifts his weight onto his back foot and then muscles the pull over mid-wicket for a maximum.

M Nabi to C Gayle, Nudged to the leg side for an easy run.

M Nabi to C Gayle, Quicker through the air and shorter in length on off, the left-hander goes back and works it to mid on.

S Sharma to L Rahul, Just ahead of a length outside off, Rahul skips down the track and smacks it straight to the man at cover.

M Nabi to C Gayle, Not out! Gayle survives! Superb work from him to drag his back leg inside the crease in time. Seeing the big West Indian give the charge, Nabi drops it short outside off. Now, Chris pulls out of the shot in time, and then focuses on getting back in. The bails are off and it's taken upstairs. Replays show he's fine. Complete credit to Gayle here, had he still gone through with the shot, he would have been gone. But he was alert and more importantly, quick to react to save himself.

A stumping appeal! Is Gayle gone? Looks close. Could go either way.

M Nabi to L Rahul, Over the wicket to Rahul. Short and turning in on off, the batsman goes back and uppishly punches it to long on, past the diving bowler for a run.
