Sunrisers 113-2 (15 ovs) vs Pune | Scorecard

Williamson clips Christian on the leg side for a couple and then does it again off the next two balls to collect couple of runs both times. Two singles from the last two balls take Sunrisers to 65 for one in 10 overs with Warner on 23 from 24 balls and Williamson on eight.

Williamson pre-medidates the sweep against Tahir as he misses out on a full toss, going into the sweep early for a single to fine leg.

Stokes comes back and is unlucky to miss out a wicket off the first ball. Warner (26 from 27 balls) hits one straight to Steve Smith at mid-off who puts down a simple catch to leave everyone in shock in Pune. Even Smith can't believe that he has put down such an easy catch.

Two balls later, Williamson pulls a short ball over the fine leg fence for a six, the first of the innings in the 12th over.

Three balls later he pulls it square for a four as Stokes concedes 13 runs in the overs as Sunrisers reach 83 for one in 12 overs.

Christian strikes with the key wicket of Williamson, who is deceived by the slower ball and trapped leg before wicket for a quickfire 21 from 14 balls.

Moises Henriques gets off the mark with a single as Christian bowls a superb over, conceding just two runs while taking the key wicket of Williamson. He has good figures of one for 12 in three overs so far.

Thakur comes back as Henriques flicks him wide of mid-on for a couple and then pulls a short ball over midwicket for a four. The next ball is full as Henriques comes down and punches it straight, beating the fielder at mid-off for another four. He looks to pull the next ball but gets an inside edge for a single as 11 come from the over.

Warner cuts loose as he plays the switch hit, despatching a high full from Tahir over the off-side for a six. That is called a no-ball for height but Warner can only get a single from the free hit delivery.

Henriques gets an inside edge square on the leg side and comes back for two runs before he picks one. Warner gets two from the last ball as Tahir goes for 16 runs in his third over.
