    3.3 taken at mid-on! More reckless cricket from Delhi against good bowling. Dropped short and rising in the corridor. He looks to pull him. Not quite the pitch to do that yet. It's off the toe and spooned to the fielder's right there 9/2
    1.4 has he dropped him? Doesn't matter, coz he runs him out anyway! KL Rahul makes amends immeidately, but Dhawan is caught napping here. It's a bouncer at his front shoulder. Looks like he gets a glove on that as he looks to hook. Rahul can't gather it high to his right. But it hasn't gone far from him. Dhawan has taken off down the pitch through it all though, with seemingly no call from Shaw at the other end. Rahul picks up, throws it in on the bounce as midwicket gathers at the striker's end and takes the bails off 6/1
    3.6 taken at short extra cover! Oh boy, the shot selection is just not showing up today. Short of a length and across, once again. Too far away from him for him to be attempting a flick. Does it anyway, closes the face too early. It pings right off the edge and is taken by Agarwal 13/3
    14.1 taken at mid-off! One time too many from Iyer. But the bigger question - why this time? Shami brought in particularly to get another wicket immediately. It is his last over. Iyer wants to loft this slower length ball over mid-off, but this time the timing isn't there. Simple catch 87/5
    13.6 got him next ball! A first IPL wicket to remember for Bishnoi. This has been superb from the youngster. He's not only neutralised Rishabh Pant today, he's managed to dismiss him as well. Goes back to his tested line outside off, taking it away from Pant. He attempts a slog sweep and can only edge it onto the stumps. That's the end of that partnership 86/4
    19.5 run out coming back for a sacrificial second. Thought it was the last ball, but it seems Jordan has overstepped. Short ball outside off, cut to sweeper's left. Comes back and is caught well short. But what an innings it has been. A projected score of 127 at 17 overs when Delhi were 100 for 6 has turned into a 150-plus score 154/8
    16.1 noise on that, and he might be out down leg side. He's walking off as the umpires convene to check if that carried to Rahul. It's a cutter, dropped short and headed for the hips. He looks to tickle it down and it dies on Rahul who gets forward and under that to lap it up. As replays confirm. It came off the glove of Patel inside edge 96/6
    18.6 taken at third man and Cottrell finishes his spell with the salute. Slower short ball outside off, backs away and looks to ramp it. Not enough pace and third man takes it running in 127/7

    4.3 bowled him! Lovely seam bowling exhibition from Mohit tonight! After taking it away from Rahul all of last over, he jags this one back in. Rahul on the front foot at an off stump line, but brings down an angled bat. It's off the inside edge and crashes into leg. Top stuff from Mohit 30/1
    19.5 he's found sweeper cover! Can you believe it! All fielders in the circle, only the sweeper back. It's a full toss wide outside off. He swishes at it, just trying to guide it, but he's found Hetmyer! Oh he'll kick himself for this. What an innings it has been, falls just short of taking them over 157/7
    5.1 taken at short fine! Full ball at middle stump, looks for the sweep first up, gets a top edge that is easily taken by Shaw. Ashwin has a wicket in his first ball for DC - against his former team. Some scripts write themselves 33/2
    5.5 through him! Ashwin is off and jumping, he is loving this! Looks like the Ashwin floater, that comes in with the angle. Classic offspin bowling. Softened him up with two danglers outside, put the doubt with a similar length and line outside off, only this time it comes back in and cleans him up. Slightly held back in his delivery stride too 34/3
    6.3 taken at mid-off! The collapse continues. Look, they left left the wristspinners out with a mind that Rabada would bowl to Maxwell. He comes on right away too and gets him, but Maxwell has played a really poor shot here. It's a length ball wide outside off, he wants to crash that through the off side, but his front leg is not far enough down and his weight is no transferred into it at all. Weak chip to the fielder. Through the shot too soon 35/4
    9.6 holes out to long-on. Flat length ball outside off, steps out and doesn't make the pitch of that. So he's forced to hit that on the rise. It comes off the inside half of the bat and finds Shaw about five yards in from the line 55/5
    15.3 woody sound and that is out. Cross-seam, short and in the corridor. Backs into the leg side and wants to slash this through point. Not a bad idea in principle, but not many can actually pull that off against Rabada at 142kph. Thin edge and off he goes 101/6
    19.6 he's hit a full toss straight to square leg! Low full toss at leg stump, flicked firmly and Rabada with the magix reflexes to force a super over 157/8
