Rashid comes in running and completes the catch with ease.

Klaasen c Miller b Shami 64(44) [4s-4 6s-3]

Noor Ahmad bowls to Klaasen and the batter slaps it firmly towards the bowler.

Noor had no time to react and took a blow on his ankle.

He fell on the floor instantly and the physio checked him and he is now being helped off the field with a bit of help.

Second fifty in IPL for Heinrich Klaasen.

He has been one of the best players for SRH this year.

Marco Jansen looked to loft the ball down the ground but he got a thick inside half and ends up chipping an easy catch for the GT skipper.

Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan forged a century partnership!

However, leaving the two, no one else really performed. SRH were also sloppy in the field as the hosts were 147/1 at the end of the 14th over. 

After Marco Jansen broke the century stand, Gt batter's Hardik, Miller and Tewatia - fell in the following three overs.

Shami swung hard down the ground and got height but not the distance. 

Jansen moved across to his left from long-on to snaffle it with both hands. 

Shami c Marco Jansen b Bhuvneshwar 0(1)

Noor swung his bat and missed it. The batters tried to sneak a single via byes. 

But Klaasen took the ball and passed it to Bhuvi who hit the bullseye at the bowler's end. 

Noor Ahmad run out (Klaasen/Bhuvneshwar) 0(1)

Rashid Khan shuffled and threw his bat hard at it. 

But he only managed an outside edge and it was a dolly for Klaasen.

A wicket off the first ball of the final over. Shubman Gill found the fielder at extra cover. A superb catch from Samad diving low to his left. 

Shubman Gill c Abdul Samad b Bhuvneshwar 101(58) [4s-13 6s-1]

Maiden IPL ton for Shubman Gill! 

He gets a big round of applause from the Ahmedabad crowd as he removes his helmet, raises his bat and bows down.

Rahul Tewatia moves leg-side to tonk it downtown but Jansen runs in from long-off and adjusts in the end by backpedalling and taking an overhead catch.

Miller backs himself to hammer it over long-on.

However, he did not get the required elavtion which was a straightforward catch for the SRH captain at long-on. 

Miller c Markram b T Natarajan 7(5) [4s-1]

Hardik Pandya flashed his bat hard for a cut but did not get the placement right.

Fifty for Shubman Gill. 

This is his 5th one this season!

Bhuvneshwar strikes early!

Bhuvi had asked Markram to add first slip after the first ball and that worked in SRH's favour.

Saha played a loose shot and edged it behnd where Abhishek Sharma at second slip moved to his left and caught it in front of first slip.
