9.15pm "The pitch is slow at this moment," Sarfaraz Khan says. "If we don't give them easy runs in the circle, if we get early wickets, the game is in our hand. I try the scoop based on the field, and have to read the bowler's mind if he will bowl the slower one or not. The powerplay will be crucial. If we don't give them too many in the powerplay, we should win."
So DC sound quite confident with what they have on the board despite a slowdown after the powerplay. That is because it is a slow pitch, and there is turn in it. However, dew remains an important player here. How will things unfold? Peter Della Penna will describe it all in the second innings.
9.11pm Just the 10 runs off the last two overs. Superb death bowling. But this pitch has turn, and DC have two good spinners. So 160 is not an easy target. Unless dew neutralises spinners
