- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.2 The drop doesn't prove costly. Was a length ball outside off and Rohit pushed at it without moving his feet. The ball seamed away to take the outside edge. Karthik accepted it gleefully 20/32.3 taken at deep third. That's the pressure of two dot balls. Was a length ball at the stumps and Kishan looked to pick it up over square leg only to get an outside edge that flew to Harshal 11/13.3 bowled 'im! Full and straight, 137.1kph. Green looks to go hard but all he manages is an inside edge. It hit the bat on the full and crashed into the stumps 16/28.5 short of length outside off. Surya goes for the cut but ends up hitting it straight to Shahbaz at backward point. It was at an awkward height but Shahbaz leapt in the air and took it comfortably 48/413.5 third time unlucky. Full on the stumps, Wadhera goes for another big hit but fails to get under it this time. Ends up hitting straight towards Kohli at long-on 98/515.3 huge, huge wicket. Full on the stumps. David goes for the slog sweep but misses it altogether. The ball clatters into the stumps 105/617.1 an excellent catch by du Plessis. It was full around off from Harshal, Shokeen looked to chip it over mid-off but du Plessis ran sideways to his left, keeping his eyes on the ball. He judged it perfectly and timed his jump well to pouch it with both hands over his shoulder. Completed the catch by tumbling over 123/7Extras11 (nb 1, w 10)TOTAL171/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.55)Fall of wickets: 1-11 (Ishan Kishan, 2.3 ov), 2-16 (Cameron Green, 3.3 ov), 3-20 (Rohit Sharma, 5.2 ov), 4-48 (Suryakumar Yadav, 8.5 ov), 5-98 (Nehal Wadhera, 13.5 ov), 6-105 (Tim David, 15.3 ov), 7-123 (Hrithik Shokeen, 17.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR14.5 Slower length ball that is ballooned straight up and David ain't dropping those! Angled across Faf, who is not able to get the pace off the surface. Loses his shape and ends up lofting the ball to long-on. 148/115.3 Flicked straight to deep square leg and Green has his first IPL wicket! Length on middle, he gets across and gets a good chunk on that. But couldn't find the gap, unfortunately. Tilak makes no mistake. 149/2Extras5 (lb 1, w 4)TOTAL172/2 (16.2 Overs, RR: 10.53)Fall of wickets: 1-148 (Faf du Plessis, 14.5 ov), 2-149 (Dinesh Karthik, 15.3 ov)
