11.20pm I don't know about the Bernabeu, but Starc has pulled off an incredible remontada at the Kotla tonight! His last two overs were absolutely on spot! Royals needed nine off the final over, with Hetmyer and Jurel at the crease and Starc delivered yorker after yorker after yorker. The one ball where he missed his length, Hettie couldn't put him away, and off we go to the season's first Super Over. Starc also got the big wicket of the well set Nitish Rana with a scorching yorker that tailed into him. This after DC missed some chances as well. It's been a game of comebacks from DC, first with the bat and then with the ball. But we still have about 12 balls to go to decide the outcome!

Starc to Jurel, 1 run, OUT, Tucked to midwicket, and they don't get the second! We're going to a Super Over! Starc nails a yorker again, Jurel can only tuck it to deep midwicket and the fielder does well to run in and throw it back to Rahul, who has all the time in the word to take the bails off before Jurel makes it back. Mitchell Starc, you beauty!

DC Jurel run out 26 (58m 17b 0x4 2x6) SR: 152.94

Two needed off the last delivery! Starc has been excellent so far. Two fielders fine on the off side. Three men out in the deep on the leg side

Starc to Hetmyer, 1 run, In the blockhole, Hetmyer swings it away to long-on. They get one. And Jurel sends Hetmyer back when he wants the second!

Hetmyer is disappointed to have not put that one away. But a boundary now, of any kind, does the job. Two runs level the scores. Axar comes over to have a word with Starc

19.4

Starc to Hetmyer, 2 runs, Sliced in the air, and they get just two! Misses his length this time and he is able to slap it away over cover

Five needed off three! What will Hettie do here?

Starc to Hetmyer, 2 runs, This time they get two! Starc manages another one in the blockhole but Hetmyer is able to push it out to deep cover! Great running

Starc to Jurel, 1 run, Nails the yorker outside off. Jurel is able to squeeze it to Starc's left for a single. Oh my, this is thrilling stuff!

Starc around the wicket

Narayanan: "If Starc concedes same as his previous over, we are in for first super over this season" Y'all just want us to work more, no?

Starc to Hetmyer, 1 run, Goes for the yorker and Hetmyer is able to dig it out into that midwicket region! Gets a single

G.O.Paul: "All 3 results possible with the way Mitch is bowling now!" A little more reverse-swing magic? Bring it on!

So, can Starc defend nine off the last over?

2
MM Sharma to Hetmyer, 2 runs, Short on off and going across, pulled in front of square and they do well to run two! The throw is at the striker's end, but I think Hetmyer was in by the time Rahul takes the bails off

MM Sharma to Jurel, 1 run, Full, just outside off, swung away along the ground wide of long-on

MM Sharma to Jurel, SIX, Clears Stubbs at long-off! Slower ball but Jurel was waiting for that. Smacks it down the ground and gets enough elevation. Stubbs leaps with one hand sticking up but he can't get anything on that. Jurel is pumping his fist

MM Sharma to Jurel, 2 runs, High, and almost taken at the boundary! What a save! Full outside off, Jurel has a swing towards deep midwicket. The sub fielder is falling back as he grabs it above his head and throws it back in. Mohit is angry he didn't take the catch, but to be fair, that wasn't easy to catch!

Ashu: "Is super over on its way?"

MM Sharma to Hetmyer, 1 run, Full and wide, Hetmyer manages to swat it out to deep midwicket

Kundan Kumar: "19th over will be very important anything above 11, Starc would be able to defend. Mark my words :)"

MM Sharma to Hetmyer, 1 wide, Oh, nails the wide yorker, does he? Nope! Just past the line according to the umpires!

Starc to Hetmyer, FOUR, Oh, so unlucky for Starc, so lucky for Hetmyer! Goes for the yorker again, gets it to tail in, but Hetmyer just gets enough of an inside edge on it to deflect it past leg stump! And it goes for a boundary to add salt to the wounds

Hetmyer the new batter now

Starc to Rana, OUT, Starc nails the yorker and up goes the finger! That tailed back into Rana. 144kph toe-crusher! Rana isn't bothering with the review. He had a whip across the line but misses. Classic Starc!

  • Nitish Rana50 (26b)
  • Dhruv Jurel13 (10b)
  • Mohit Sharma3-0-24-0
  • Kuldeep Yadav4-0-33-1

The physio is having a look at Kuldeep, who is off the field of play now. They are checking his bowling shoulder. Doubt he'll field anymore today. Pietersen flashes him a big smile as he walks back to sit at the dugout

MM Sharma to Rana, FOUR, Gets this over the infield and it races away! It's on a length around off, Rana goes across the stumps and looks to scoop it but doesn't hit it well. Kuldeep running back from short fine can't get there. He puts in the dive to keep it out but can only help it onto the ropes. Rana brings up a 26-ball half-century! And Kuldeep may have hurt himself there

MM Sharma to Jurel, SIX, Pummelled into the stands! Full toss on the stumps and Jurel whips it square! That will get him going!

Kartik Warrier : "Can this rule be clarified for 14.5? In case of a switch hit, the off and leg for a batsman are swapped?" It could pitch anywhere and it wouldn't matter the moment a batter chooses to switch hit

16.2
1
MM Sharma to Rana, 1 run, Slower bouncer around leg, Rana swivels and pulls it out to deep square leg on the bounce

Raj: "Yesterday, Rahane did not review the cost of KKR the match, and today DC not review that Rana's LBW might cost them the match. "
