11.26pm Sunrisers have defended 150 successfully, what looked like a low score earlier and Warner leads the team off the ground. Leading them with a fifty, excellent fielding and a great catch! Kings XI started a bit too slow and lost early wickets before it looked like Bailey and Miller were going to take them home. But all the Sunrisers bowlers chipped in, broke partnerships and Boult and Bhuvi kept bowling yorker after yorker as if they are robots. Kings XI, with that loss, continue to struggle at the bottom of the table.

George Bailey: It was our batting, the top order again. I'll take responsibility again and we needed partnerships going but could not. It was a gettable target but top order couldn't do it. We're trying to find a combination that works. The worrying thing is the fear and restriction comes in. We're not trying any less than last year, things are not going our way. It was a great opportunity tonight to win. Davey pulled things back for them, Axar and Sandeep bowled very well and excellent bowling in the death.

David Warner: Fantastic effort, I thought 160 was par. Mine was a key dismissal and the boys bowled fantastic after that. The bowlers won us the match and today it was a fantastic effort. We face Jonhson a lot at home and my thinking was to make room and score runs. Today I got him but probably next match he'll get me. It's challenging to pick one out of Steyn and Boult, we try to get the balance right which we got right tonight.

Boult Man of the Match: It was quite a dry wicket, not much humidity. It was a good batting wicket, we bowled really well. I'm trying to come in and be as aggressive as I can. It's nice to get a reward today and see the result. The first thing here is to get the length right and I'm enjoying my time here.

That's all we have from this match, I'm Vishal D signing off and do join us tomorrow for CSK v KKR. Until then, goodbye and goodluck. Ciao!

Adarsh: "It's time for Vijay to sit out. Bring back Sehwag and Maxwell."

Ricky: "Sunrisers york Kings XI out of the match! Well done Bolt, Bhuvi & Praveen!"

Navin: "GEE! I wonder what happened to KXIP this year? From hero last year to zero this year. Saha really needs to bat higher."

Rocky: "What say for all those who say that such low scores cannot be defended without bowling the opposition out :)"

Siddharth: "Huge Johnson fan. But he has to sit out next game onwards. And Maxwell should come in. Vohra should remain. "

Boult to Saha, OUT, another miscued pull from Saha, this time he's gone by giving a simple catch to square leg for PK. But they're checking for the no ball, hang on. Looks like Boult's heel has landed just on the line, I don't think there's anything behind it. Third umpire taking his time, trying different angles. From the stump cam near the umpire it seems something was indeed behind the line, maybe. Given out!
