Ravi Bishnoi to Jonny Bairstow, OUT! It is not going down leg and the on-field call has to be overturned! Excellent review from Punjab and what an over this is from Bishnoi. He gets both the set batters and it is heartbreak for Bairstow as he walks back three short of a ton. It is the slider. It lands on leg and then straightens a touch. Bairstow looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pads. An appeal but it is turned down. The ball rolls towards short third man. Pandey wants a run but Bairstow is a touch late to take off. In the end, they go for it. The fielder there fires it to the keeper who whips the bails off and appeals. That is referred upstairs and in the meantime, Rahul also takes the review. First they check for the LBW and Hawk Eye shows three reds. That is that. Two new batters at the crease now with not a lot of overs to go. Exactly what Punjab would have wanted.
DRINKS! It has been a Bairstow special so far and he is 3 short of a magnificent ton. Warner has been happy playing the second fiddle. With 5 overs still to go, Hyderabad will be looking for at least close to 65 in those 5 with all their wickets in hand. Punjab have not picked a wicket for the last 33.4 overs they have bowled and now will be the right time for them to do it to limit some damage.
Ravi Bishnoi to Jonny Bairstow, Shortish and outside off, JB looks to cut but ends up mistiming it towards cover.
Ravi Bishnoi to Jonny Bairstow, On off, it is pushed towards cover.
Ravi Bishnoi to David Warner, OUT! TAKEN! Stop the press, Punjab have broken through! Warner is out of here! A much-needed one but Warner has played his role. He played as the able foil to Bairstow and their mammoth stand has put Hyderabad in a comfortable position. He looks to play the slog sweep but does so against the turn. It is the googly on off. Warner looks to go over the mid-wicket fence but only manages to hit it high up in the air towards long on where Maxwell takes a good catch. Can Punjab keep Hyderabad under 200?
Sheldon Cottrell to Jonny Bairstow, Bairstow's wait for his century goes on for a little longer. Good length ball on off, Bairstow punches it back to the bowler. Cottrell misjudges it and ends up getting hit in the unmentionables.

Sheldon Cottrell to Jonny Bairstow, Full but going away with the angle down leg. Bairstow looks to flick but misses. The ball hits his pads and goes to the off side. They steal a leg bye. There is an optimistic appeal from Cottrell but nothing from the umpire except a signal for leg bye.
Sheldon Cottrell to David Warner, Full outside off, Warner loses his shape as he looks to hit it across the line. He manages to hit towards deep mid-wicket for one.

Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Jonny Bairstow, Floated on off, Jonny takes a break and blocks this one.

Mujeeb Ur Rahman to David Warner, FIFTY FOR WARNER! This has been a very good knock! His 9th in a row against Punjab in the league! On the pads, Warner flicks it to the on side and gets to his fifty. The skipper has played a perfect second fiddle to Bairstow.
Change in bowling! Mujeeb is back!
Mujeeb Ur Rahman to David Warner, Short on middle, Warner pulls it but does not do so cleanly wide of long on for two.

Mohammed Shami to Jonny Bairstow, Good comeback from Shami! Bowls a yorker on leg, Bairsow jams it out and they take a single. They are taking runs off the good balls as well. This has been a hallmark of this partnership. Good running and quick running.
