9:52pm "The Punjab Kings v Delhi Capitals match (Match#58) in Tata IPL was forced to be abandoned due to a significant technical failure at the HPCA stadium in Dharamsala," an official statement says. "Due to a power outage in the area, one of the light towers at the HPCA stadium malfunctioned. BCCI regrets the inconvenience caused to the in-stadium attendees."

9:40pm We have received word that this game has been called off.

Elsewhere, a 37-year-old cancer survivor sent his team into the biggest game in club football. Here's how Inter Milan reached the UEFA Champions League final with the miracle of Francesco Acerbi

9:29pm There is only one floodlight that is functioning at the moment.

Shreyas is the new batter in. But we will have a bit of a delay because of a floodlight failure.

Kasinathan: "Bring Starc/Nattu to break the partnership" -- Axar heard you, and it has paid dividends!

Natarajan to Arya, OUT, an agricultural slog across the line, and Arya bites the dust! Looks like a slower ball, banged into the track on middle and leg. Arya looks to access the leg side again but for the first time in a while, loses his shape completely. Beaten by the lack of pace too and all he manages is a tame top edge that is gobbled up by Tiwari at short third. Might have top-edged that into the helmet, in fact, and Arya shakes his head in disappointment as he walks back. But take nothing away from this knock - another pace-setting innings, and a true clinic of stroke-making!

P Arya c Tiwari b Natarajan 70 (34b 5x4 6x6) SR: 205.88

122-0 at the half-way stage. PBKS would be very disappointed if they do not get to 230-240 from here. Natarajan returns, with an aim to throw a spanner in Punjab's works

END OF OVER:
10 | 19 Runs | PBKS: 122/0 | RR: 12.20

Kuldeep Yadav to Arya, 1 run, follows the batter well outside leg with a back of a length ball. Arya works it towards deep mid wicket

Kuldeep Yadav to Prabhsimran Singh, 1 run, back of a length on the stumps. Prabhsimran goes back and works it towards deep mid wicket to bring up yet another fifty this season - this one has come off 28 balls!

But oh dear - Prabhsimran seems to have tweaked his right hamstring. He was running down the track, anticipating having to run the second if the ball was cut off and he has done himself some mischief. Not what PBKS would have wanted to see, let's hope that this is nothing serious

Kuldeep Yadav to Prabhsimran Singh, FOUR, Prabhsimran asks why Arya should have all the fun! Not quite a six but another very, very adept shot. Waits for this short ball outside off and glides it delightfully to backward point's right!

Kuldeep Yadav to Arya, 1 run, miscued but it falls safe! Quicker, flatter and shorter on middle and leg. Arya has a swipe across the line and skews it badly off the top edge. Fortunately for him, the connection was so bad that the ball did not even cross the ring in the mid on region

Kuldeep Yadav to Arya, SIX, six more! Arya is taking Kuldeep to the cleaners tonight! This is tossed up again, on middle and off. Arya comes out of his bunker and pumps it into the sightscreen!

A change of ball is in order

Kuldeep Yadav to Arya, SIX, watch that ball sail into the mountains! Given a bit of air outside off and Arya is down the track in a flash. Extends his arms fully and clobbers it onto the roof over long on!

Tiwari to Prabhsimran Singh, 2 runs, slower ball on a back of a length outside off. Prabhsimran advances again before producing a fiercer version of the cut. Chameera hurtles around to his left and puts in the dive to rein it in

Tiwari to Prabhsimran Singh, 2 runs, dug into the track outside off. Prabhsimran takes a step down the track and guides it past backward point for a couple of runs

Tiwari to Prabhsimran Singh, FOUR, clever, clever batting! Prabhsimran has really leveled up this season! On the shorter side, offering a hint of width. Prabhsimran lets the ball arrive before chopping it fine of short third!

4
Tiwari to Prabhsimran Singh, FOUR, more streaky runs, but PBKS will not mind it at all! Fullish and hung up wide outside off. Prabhsimran throws the plumbing at it and the ball flies off the outside edge over short third!

dc: "7.5 KP will be proud of Priyansh's switch-hit!" -- He would be. But sitting in the opposite dug-out tonight, he might not be very happy!
