END OF OVER:

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

Arshdeep Singh to Kuldeep Yadav, 2 runs, Arsh misses the yorker, Kuldeep lofts the half-volley over extra cover. Kuldeep wonders if he should take just the one and bring Axar back on strike. Axar says no. Lets Kuldeep face the next ball too

Kuldeep Yadav comes in

Arshdeep Singh to Thakur, OUT, sometimes missed yorkers work too. A low full toss, but the line takes away him arms. No room at all, and Thakur doesn't get power into his hit down the ground. Caught at long-on

Rabada to Marsh, OUT, into the short leg boundary, but also a mis-hit. Rishi Dhawan runs in from deep midwicket and takes the low catch. Marsh looks to play the pick-up shot over midwicket, but this full ball is just a touch slow off the surface and he gets too far under it and doesn't get the distance

Arshdeep Singh to Marsh, FOUR, Shikhar Dhawan takes the aggressive option in the field, but it doesn't come off. Arshdeep misses the yorker, sends down a high full toss, about thigh high, gets the thick outside edge of Marsh, Dhawan runs in and to his left from long-off, puts in a dive, but just can't catch up with it. Could have kept them to one had he been defensive, but he reckoned Marsh was a big wicket

Arshdeep Singh to Marsh, 4 leg byes, lucky to start off with still unlucky in the end. Misses the yorker, bowls a length ball down the leg side, lucky to beat Marsh's bat, but then deflection of the pad goes past short fine leg for four
