11.45pm A six-hitting carnage as Mumbai Indians threatened to chase down the highest total put up in IPL history, but it's Sunrisers Hyderabad who celebrate in the end. All sorts of records were broken tonight and you can read all about it fifth in that list!">here. Tom Moody, during our half-time show also felt Mumbai Indians missed a trick with their bowling plans by holding Jasprit Bumrah back for Heinrich Klaasen. Sudarshanan's report will also be up soon, so you can get a recap of this thriller. That will be all from us today. It was great fun bringing all the action to you. On behalf of Hemant, Chandan, Venkat and everyone else at ESPNcricinfo, a very good night to you all

11.35pm And it's time for the presentation ceremony.

Abhishek Sharma is the player of the match. Here's what he has to say: "[Confidence from Mushtaq Ali] It carries a lot of confidence from there. We have a lot of Punjabi boys in the team and we carried the confidence. The message for the batters has been pretty simple: go out and express yourself, and that has been great for me. Head is one of my favourite batters, I really admire his batting. Had a great time batting with him. I had a chance to talk to Brian Lara last night, that really helped me. [On his bowling] If you see me, you'll know that I enjoy bowling more than I bat. I know I can do well with the ball as well."

SRH captain, Pat Cummins: "[Did he think it could be chased down?] Not until we bowled (laughs). It was an amazing game. [Abhishek Sharma] Really impressive striker of the ball. In the IPL you play under a lot of pressure, but the freedom he has played with was amazing. You never play for 270 but we wanted to be really positive and with the impact player rule you have more batting as well. It's obviously a good wicket so you know you're going to go for a few boundaries, but just have to stick to the plans. I think cutters worked."

11.20pm What an exhilerating contest this was and SRH come out on top in the IPL's biggest run-fest! Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Aiden Markram and of course Heinrich Klaasen sent the ball to all parts as Sunrisers raced to the highest score in IPL history, as well as in any domestic or franchise T20 league. But Mumbai Indians gave them a scare as Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan began with a bang. Tilak Varma continued their momentum hammering 64 off 34. But a tight three overs in the middle that saw Sunrisers concede just 18 runs turned it around and David's 22-ball 42 and Shepherd's 6-ball 15 came too late. There will be questions today as well about Hardik's captaincy, and his batting.

Travis Head: "The batting's done an exceptional job in the last two games so feels good to contribute. We were pretty aggressive in the first game as well and that's one thing we want to do at the top. [On matchups] We knew it might swing in the first couple, I'm pleased I could target both the off side and leg side. Earlier I would sometimes just target the leg side. The experience from Bhuvi and Cummins in the end was class."

Hardik Pandya: "The wicket was good but 277, no matter how good or bad you bowl, if the opposition get 277 that means they batted very well. [Bowlers] were good. It was tough out there. Close to 500 runs were scored so the wicket was helping the batters. We could have tried a few different things, but we have a young bowling attack and I liked what I saw today. If the ball goes this much in the crowd, it's definitely different to run around and complete the overs in time. Everyone batted really well, counting Tilak, Ro, Ishan. There are just few things we need to do right and we'll be alright. [On Maphaka] I think he was fantastic you know. Coming into your first game and getting overwhelmed by this kind of crowd and he showed he had the heart. Even though he went for runs, he looked alright, he wanted to back his skillsets and that's something that's fantastic. He has the skillset, just that he needs some game time."

Rob: "Is that the highest ever T20 score in a losing cause?" Surprisingly enough, it's the fifth in that list!

Fiaz Laghari: "Pat Cummins deserves a pat on his shoulders for such an amazing 15th and penultimate over"

Unadkat to Hardik, OUT

And Hardik Pandya has to go! Unadkat is all laughs. SRH know they now all but have it in the bag. Cutter dug into the pitch, seaming away. Hardik goes for a pull but can only top edge it. Easy peasy lemon squeezy for Heinrich Klaasen

What a fielding effort! Bouncer outside off and Hardik slaps it wide of long-on. Mayank races across to his right and grabs it head height and throws it back in before falling over backwards. He also seems to have hurt himself. The check shows Mayank got rid of the ball before his feet touched the ground. Excellent, excellent fielding
