Moeen Ali to Aiden Markram
FIFTY up for Aiden Markram and just the knock Hyderabad were looking for after that early blitz from Abhishek Sharma. Slightly shorter on off and turning in, Markram goes deep in the crease and shuffles across a bit before tucking it through mid-wicket for a single. Markram will now look to take his side home.

Moeen Ali to Aiden Markram
OUT! LBW! Fifty and out for Markram and he will be devastated with that. A huge shout from the bowler and the keeper and the finger goes up. Aiden Markram though reviews it quickly. Bowled on a length around off, turning back in sharply, Markram attempts the reverse sweep and misses it completely. The ball hits him on the pads and there's nothing on UltraEdge. Ball Tracking comes up with three reds and Moeen Ali provides a breakthrough for Chennai. Can they just creep back into the match now?
