Welcome back. Hyderabad team is in a huddle and the Chennai openers, Shane Watson and Ambati Rayudu come out to bat. Sandeep Sharma will begin the proceedings with the ball. He generates a lot of swing upfront. Can he strike early for Hyderabad? Here we go...

After the departure of the duo, the hosts pulled things back a bit but still, they didn't find the right lines and lengths as consistently as they would have liked to. Interestingly, no spinner finished their quota of 4 overs as they were travelling. Deepak Chahar was brilliant upfront and finished with figures of 4-0-16-1. Thakur was decent as well and picked up two wickets. Chennai have a strong batting line-up but they face a daunting task against the best bowling side in the tournament. Join us shortly.

Hyderabad will be pretty happy with the total they have posted. In the first half of the innings, their batsmen were not quite being able to time the ball well. However, Dhawan and Williamson played sensibly and provided themselves a good foundation. The onslaught took place after the 10th over. Both of them stamped their authority and started finding the boundaries at will. A century partnership put them on a high.

D Bravo to Al Hasan, Very full around off, Shakib can only jam it to long on and hares back for the second run. HYDERABAD FINISH ON 179/4!

D Bravo to Al Hasan, Slower ball outside off, Shakib slashes but misses. Two dots in a row, worth in gold at this stage.

D Bravo to Al Hasan, Full and fired in on the pads, Shakib fails to hit it away and is hit on the pads. A slight appeal for an LBW is turned down. Shakib looks to sneak in a run but Bravo is quick to deny him.

It has started raining. Meanwhile, third man comes in.

D Bravo to Al Hasan, FOUR! Right in the slot and treated with disdain! Full delivery on the pads, Shakib heaves it over the leaping backward square leg fielder for a boundary.

D Bravo to D Hooda, Angling into Hooda. He is cramped for room and can only place it towards mid off for a single.
