Manoj Tiwary is into the attack.
R Ashwin to Al Hasan, NOT OUT! And that is why Ashwin was not confident because he failed to collect the ball. This one is pushed towards cover and the batsmen go for a run. Shakib is jogging till the other end and seems to be very casual till he realizes the throw is coming at his end. The ball hits the stumps and the players appeal. The umpire takes it upstairs and replay shows Ashwin has not collected the ball. Even if he had collected it, Shakib would have been in.

B Sran to M Pandey, Fullish again on off, Pandey strokes it towards covers. The fielder fumbles and the batsmen think of a run but opt against it. So an over which could have produced a wicket goes for 10. Still a brilliant Powerplay for Punjab as Hyderabad are 37/3.
B Sran to Al Hasan, Fuller on off, Shakib drives it towards covers. The fielder makes a half stop and the batsmen run a single.

B Sran to Al Hasan, The batsman has played that off the front foot and into the ground.
B Sran to Al Hasan, FOUR! Makes full use of the Free Hit. A high full toss on leg stump. Shakib pulls it but not off the middle but in the gap. It races through square leg for a boundary. A freebie on a Free Hit, one should not miss out.
B Sran to Al Hasan, OUT! No! Sran has overstepped and by a long margin! SHAKIB SURVIVES! Another Hyderabad batsman gets a reprieve, this time it is because of Manish Pandey as he is the one who spots the no ball and asks the umpire to go upstairs and check. Excellent match awareness by the non-striker. This is short and outside off, Shakib goes for the cut but the ball takes the top edge and goes into the hands of the third man fielder. He takes it and the Punjab players start celebrating as Shakib starts walking back. The umpire asks him to wait as he wants to check the front foot and guess what? Sran has overstepped. Shakib has been called back and to add to that, he has a Free Hit on the next ball.
B Sran to Al Hasan, Fullish on off, Al Hasan mistimes his drive to covers.
A Rajpoot to M Pandey, DROPPED! So easily Rajpoot could have had two in two, so easily Hyderabad could have lost their fourth. Manish Pandey has lady luck on his side this evening. This is short and on middle, Pandey pulls it hard towards Tye who took the catch on the previous delivery. This time it comes flat towards him at a comfortable height. He gets two hands to it but can't hang on. Tye is disappointed with himself and he should be as that should have been taken. End of an action-packed over.
Shakib Al Hasan is the next man in.
A Rajpoot to W Saha, OUT! Rajpoot gets his third and Saha bags another failure! The slower one this time does the trick. It is outside off, Saha looks to clear the leg side. Not a good shot, especially under the circumstances. The ball takes the top edge and balloons towards mid-wicket. Andrew Tye there positions himself under it and takes a dolly.

B Sran to M Pandey, Just out of reach! A tough chance but that could have been taken. Ashwin maybe made that catch difficult for himself as he was very slow to get to the ball. A reprieve for Pandey, just the luck he needed to get back in form? This is full and on off, Pandey tries to go downtown but mistimes it high up in the air towards mid off. Ashwin in that position turns and runs towards it. He stretches both his hands out but fails to reach it. The batsmen run two and Hyderabad will breathe a sigh of relief.
B Sran to M Pandey, Sran has learnt his lesson as he stays away from the pads and goes wide outside off. Pandey makes a leave.

B Sran to W Saha, Just ahead of a length this time on middle, it swings back in. Saha nudges it towards square leg for a quick run. They need to keep rotating strike here.

B Sran to W Saha, Fuller on off, looking for some swing but there ain't any. Saha lunges and drives it to covers.

A Rajpoot to S Dhawan, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Ankit Rajpoot gets his second. This a top, top delivery. Bowls it on a back of a length around off, this one also shapes away a touch. Dhawan tries to keep it out off the back foot but plays inside the line. The ball takes the outside edge and goes low towards Nair at first slip who is a little deep. He dives forward and takes it inches above the ground. Two quick wickets for Punjab and Hyderabad are in trouble early.
A Rajpoot to S Dhawan, FOUR! Edged but a boundary! Short and outside off, it shapes back in a touch, Dhawan tries to cut but the ball takes the outside edge and goes past the diving first slip fielder for a boundary. So a boundary to start the over.
B Sran to W Saha, FOUR! Poor line and put away! Down the leg side, easy pickings for Saha as he flicks it fine through the leg side for the second boundary of the over. So not a good follow-up over by Sran after a lovely one by Ankit.
B Sran to S Dhawan, Down the leg side, Dhawan misses the flick to get hit on the pads. The ball goes towards the keeper and the batsmen run a leg bye.
B Sran to S Dhawan, FOUR! First for the game! Width on offer and Dhawan is too good a batsman to miss out. Wide outside off, Dhawan slashes it through covers and the ball races away.
