SRH vs KKR: LIVE BLOG | LIVE SCORECARD | Target for SRH - 164

Welcome Back! Kane Williamson and Jonny Bairstow to start the SRH run chase. Pat Cummins with the ball for KKR.

Vijay Shankar (4-0-20-1): "I think if we bowl into the wicket, it's holding a bit, so if we bowl into the pitch, it'll be difficult to hit (with the ball stopping onto the batsman). I'm happy, this is the first time I have bowled four overs in an IPL match. One side is slightly shorter than the other side, if we bat deep, we will be able to chase the total down."
That's it! Dinesh Karthik (29* off 14) and Eoin Morgan (34 off 23) guided KKR to 163/5 against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Abu Dhabi.

PITCH REPORT:

" The sun is out and it's around 35 degrees at the moment in Abu Dhabi, so it should be comfortable for the players. We are playing on pitch number four today and that means it's pretty much even boundaries on both sides of the ground. The surface looks green, so it should offer something for the faster men. It's a pitch where you'll need to hit the deck hard - bowl short and reap rewards" - Ian Bishop and Danny Morrison.

GOOD NEWS!

The IPL on Sunday said West Indies spinner Sunil Narine can continue to bowl after it found nothing illegal in his deliveries during an assessment that was prompted by an on-field caution earlier this month. Narine's team, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), asked for the assessment after umpires suspected an illegal elbow bend in an Oct. 10 tie against Kings XI Punjab and issued a warning. The clearance means the 32-year-old can continue bowling in this year's tournament, which is being held in the United Arab Emirates due to concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic in India.

Hello and welcome to the Live coverage of Match 35 of the IPL 2020 between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders.
