OUT! RUN OUT! The last thing Hyderabad needed after the break. They had some momentum on their side after the last over, but now, the wicket of Saha is a punch in the gut for them.

Saha steps out of the crease, looking for the second, but says no, as Holder was already halfway down the track. Saha then thinks of taking the run, but by then, it is too late.

BYE! It works out for Hyderabad, in the end. Rahul should have struck with his throw though. Slower, length, outside off, Kumar looks to slap it away but misses. They scamper through for the run. KL Rahul has a shy at the striker's end but misses. Had he hit, Holder would have been sent packing. 16 from 5 now!

SIX! BANG! This is why Hyderabad needed Holder on strike! He delivers and now they need 10 more to win! Around off, on a length, Jason Holder makes room and smokes this one over the wide long on fence.
