9.40pm That's a terrific effort from Daredevils. They've kept a powerful Kings XI side to just 143, a score that appears to be well below par. Avesh Khan troubled them with pace early, then Plunkett, Christian and Boult used the variations in pace very effectively. Kings XI made a belligerent start, but lost momentum in the middle, through Yuvraj and Karun struggling to keep up with the changes in pace. Expect more cutters in the second innings. Back soon for the chase.
Trent Boult: A typical Delhi wicket, in my opinion. It's slow coming off the surface. Half the job done."

Boult to Tye, OUT, 132 kph, Tye chops on! Wow, that was a struggle from Tye, 3 off 9. Full and wide, Tye unwinds and swings, but all he manages is a thick inside edge which hits middle and leg stump.

Boult to Sran, 1 leg bye, think the wide yorker would have been a better option to earn a dot ball. But Boult goes full and straight, Sran misses, struck on the pad, but it's sliding down

Boult to Ashwin, OUT, taken. Ashwin picks out backward point. Another wide yorker, Ashwin gets underneath the length but all he successfully does is chip a slice to the fielder. A comfortable reverse-cupped catch.

Boult to Ashwin, 1 wide, starts with a wide. Full and very wide, looking for the tramline but just errs.
Can Kings XI get to 150? Feel that's under-par. Boult will finish

Christian to Miller, OUT, Miller finds Plunkett! And Kings XI are struggling now. It's yet another cutter outside off. Miller brings out all his power and brute force to smash a lofted drive over cover. But that fielder has been pushed back because Miller is very good with that shot. Plunkett gets low and takes an excellent catch.
