- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.4 Rohit dashes out of the crease, Mishra is wary of this as he holds this legbreak back outside off. Dangled up delightfully at only 79ks, Mishra takes it away from the advancing batsman. Rohit has to reach out for the ball, so he drags it off the bottom hand to long-on. Fine bowling from Mishra - he wins the match-up vs Rohit again 76/32.1 Stonis snags the outside edge of de Kock. Offcutter from Stoinis, bounces and moves away from a crease-bound de Kock. The batter chucks his hands at the ball and snicks it behind to Pant 9/16.6 on-pace back-of-a-length delivery that slants in from over the wicket. Surya aims to tap it down to deep third man. He deliberately opens the bat-face, but this ball is closer to his body. He can only guide it into the gloves of Pant. Big breakthrough for DC after the time-out 67/217.3 wide yorker, 88.4ks, plunges on Kishan. He jabs his bat down and plays it onto his own stumps. The ball bounces up and flicks the bails. The leg bail is tipped off. Fourth wicket for Mishra 123/78.6 Mishra has Pandya holing out to Smith as well. He loops another legbreak up at 79.7ks, this is an off-stump delivery or rather tossed up just outside off. Pandya can't quite get underneath it. He still backs himself to clear long-on. No dice. Mishra's double-strike has tipped it DC's way 77/410.4 Krunal plays on. Slider from Lalit, from round the wicket, it keeps coming into the batter. It was short but too close to the body for the cut. Krunal misjudges it and chops it back onto his own stumps. Maiden IPL wicket for Lalit. 81/511.5 Mishra takes out Pollard too. This is the slower wrong'un, Pollard wants to review the on-field out decision. Pollard does not pick the variation and is struck on the back pad on the knee-roll. No inside edge/glove involved. The tracker returns umpire's call on middle, enough for the on-field out decision to be upheld. Bail-trimmer 84/618.5 Jayant shuffles a fair way across off stump, 137ks shorter and following the moving batsman. He aims to scoop it over the keeper's head. He's in no position to do that, so he ends up splicing a return catch 129/819.4 Slower ball, on a back of a length and around off. Chahar has another leg-side hack, this time he sends an outside edge flying to the right of Pant who snaffles it 135/9Extras5 (lb 5)TOTAL137/9 (20 Overs, RR: 6.85)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Quinton de Kock, 2.1 ov), 2-67 (Suryakumar Yadav, 6.6 ov), 3-76 (Rohit Sharma, 8.4 ov), 4-77 (Hardik Pandya, 8.6 ov), 5-81 (Krunal Pandya, 10.4 ov), 6-84 (Kieron Pollard, 11.5 ov), 7-123 (Ishan Kishan, 17.3 ov), 8-129 (Jayant Yadav, 18.5 ov), 9-135 (Rahul Chahar, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 he's been caught and bowled!. Jayant Yadav, Delhi specialist - who incidentally lives in the city - has struck in his first over. Held this back a bit and Shaw pushed at it with hard hands, got it higher on the bat and the ball popped back to the bowler, who tumbles forward and to his right and gathers it. 11/114.5 After giving up a six and four, Chahar has Dhawan holing out to Krunal Pandya at long leg. Legbreak once again from Chahar, this is much fuller and finishing on middle and leg. Dhawan can't quite get underneath the length. He drags a slog-sweep to the outfielder 100/39.2 Pollard brings himself on and traps Smith. He decides against a review and walks off. Smith shuffles across off and misses a full ball that shoots low and skids into his front pad in front of middle. It would've crashed into his leg stump. Is this the wicket that would turn the tables on DC? 64/216.5 Krunal runs in from deep fine leg and takes it! Pant sticks his tongue out and walks off. Slower offcutter, on middle, Pant looks to shovel-scoop it away. Instead, he splices it to the outfielder off the top edge. Just like that, Bumrah delivers at the death 115/4Extras10 (lb 3, nb 3, w 4)TOTAL138/4 (19.1 Overs, RR: 7.2)Fall of wickets: 1-11 (Prithvi Shaw, 1.3 ov), 2-64 (Steven Smith, 9.2 ov), 3-100 (Shikhar Dhawan, 14.5 ov), 4-115 (Rishabh Pant, 16.5 ov)
