M Shami to D Warner, A bit of width on offer outside off, David plays it off his back foot but finds the cover-point fielder. Fine first over by Shami, just one run coming off it.
M Shami to D Warner, Very full on middle and off, Warner digs it out towards mid on and once again there is a lot of confusion over a run. Both batsmen are ball-watching and ended up dancing in the middle of the pitch. Eventually, they return to their respective crease.
M Shami to D Warner, Miscommunication but no harm done! A pitched up ball around off, Warner pushes it with soft hands to covers and Shankar eyes a run. But he is sent back quickly and the throw from the fielder was quite wayward.
M Shami to D Warner, Beaten! Movement there for Shami. He gets a length ball to seam away from the southpaw, Warner pushes inside the line without any footwork and is beaten comprehensively.
M Shami to D Warner, Shami lands it short and outside off, Warner shapes up for a big flat-batted shot but it comes slowly off the surface and he ends up mistiming it back to the bowler.
M Shami to V Shankar, A length ball to start with. It's angled into the right-hander and Shankar plays it with soft hands towards wide mid on for a run.
Mohammed Shami is into the attack now.
A Rajpoot to D Warner, Slightly short in length on middle, Warner gets on top of the bounce and turns it with soft hands to mid-wicket. There is no fielder inside the ring in that region and hence the bowler immediately runs after the ball. He fumbles a bit though while picking up the ball and the batsmen get the opportunity to cross for the second run. Eventually, Rajpoot releases his throw at the bowler's end but nothing doing after that.
David Miller is mic'd up. On his fielding effort, he says that he feels quite young. Moving over to the match, David is happy with the wicket of Bairstow as he reckons that the Englishman can take the game quickly. Observes that the ground is very wet, which means dew has already made its presence. Hopes that it gets wetter and wetter so that chasing would be easy. On the pitch, DM is surprised with so much grass on the wicket but reckons that it will be a belter. Regarding Hyderabad's dominance over Punjab and any discussion in approaching the game, Miller says that no such specific talk takes place in terms of history but more or less it is about focussing on the present. So he stresses - like focussing on Hyderabad's openers and keeping them quiet and so all. Jokes that he and Gayle discuss about different bat shapes with the latter having a few of those. Hopes that Punjab win tonight and move up the ladder.

Ur Rahman to V Shankar, FOUR! A boundary to end the over! Mujeeb tosses it one nicely but lands it very full outside off. Shankar presses forward and drives it crisply through covers for a boundary.
Ur Rahman to V Shankar, CLOSE CALL! Lucky escape for Shankar. Flighted delivery on middle, turning back in, Shankar looks to defend but gets an inside edge onto the pads and then rolls back. It just misses the middle stump by a whisker.
Vijay Shankar is the new batsman in.
Ur Rahman to J Bairstow, OUT! Massive success for Punjab! Mujeeb did well to keep Bairstow quiet in this over and eventually has removed him from the crease. A floated delivery, on a fuller length around middle, Jonny leans forward and across before playing the flick shot but fails to keep it down. Ashwin manning the mid-wicket region goes down low and takes an excellent catch. Early setback for the visiting team as they lose an in-form batsman.
Ur Rahman to J Bairstow, WIDE! Bowls it down the leg side, Jonny looks to go after it but misses it.
