- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.6 And you wonder why he didn't open the bowling! Yorker from wide of the crease, and it is searing into the base of off and middle. Saha is wrongfooted and he cannot bring the bat down in time. The poles light up and Saha is gone. 31/17.4 this is why IPL teams still back Piyush Chawla! He has the knack of taking wickets and he has delivered with a massive scalp. Chawla lets a quicker one rip, and Gill comes down the track to hit him over long on. But Gill's shot doesn't have the distance and Rohit takes a simple catch on the line 64/216.3 full ball on middle, and he flicks it well to the leg side. In fact, too well! Straight to the fielder from deep backward square leg running in. A second diving catch from Tilak tonight 134/511.6 holes out at deep midwicket! And Coetzee celebrates in his trademark fashion with a big roar. Cross-seamed good length ball on off and Omarzai attempts to slog a shot over cow corner. But the leg-side is the bigger side over here at the Narendra Modi Stadium and Tilak composes himself in the deep to close out the catch 104/316.1 easy for Hardik at mid off running back! Bumrah starts off with the slower ball, fullish on off. Miller wants to loft it over mid off but then cannot change his momentum. Meets the ball too early and the ball pops off the bat's face and lobs towards mid off 133/419.1 a stunning catch at deep square leg diving forward! Naman Dhir the fielder there. Coetzee bowls a shin-high full toss around leg and Tewatia tried to dropkick a shot over the leg side. But Dhir covers a lot of ground running in and commits to the forward drive! "I can see the fingers underneath," says the TV umpire, so Tewatia must go 161/6Extras12 (lb 4, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL168/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.4)Fall of wickets: 1-31 (Wriddhiman Saha, 3.6 ov), 2-64 (Shubman Gill, 7.4 ov), 3-104 (Azmatullah Omarzai, 11.6 ov), 4-133 (David Miller, 16.1 ov), 5-134 (Sai Sudharsan, 16.3 ov), 6-161 (Rahul Tewatia, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.4 Has he nicked it? He has! Pulls his length back and pitches it around middle and off. The ball is going away from Kishan who pokes at it and gets a feather through to Saha. Omarzai has a wicket in his first over in the IPL! 0/112.1 Rohit misses the sweep and the umpire raises his finger! Full outside off and angling in. Rohit can't connect. Big appeal and given immediately. Rohit reviews it. Was impact outside off? Impact in front of off and that's shown to be crashing into middle stump. No fifty for Rohit Sharma, but a very good knock nonetheless. Sai Kishore also gets his reward for a good spell 107/32.6 Big appeal for lbw, but the umpire doesn't give it. Gill chooses to review! It's on a length outside off and seams in sharply. Stays low to beat the bat as Dhir looks to swing across the line. Hit on the thigh on his back foot. And that's crashing into middle and leg according to ball tracking! Entertaining cameo comes to an end. And Omarzai ends his second over well after conceding 21 runs off it! 30/215.5 This time Mohit holds on! The pressure tells. Brevis falls for 46. 108kph delivery dug in short outside off. Brevis flat-bats it straight to Mohit who holds on at waist height. Brevis throws his head up in disgust. Is there a twist still in the waiting? 129/418.2 What a comeback from Spencer Johnson! Tilak flicks it straight to deep backward square! Spencer Johnson is pumped. Sub fielder Abhinav Manohar is pumped. This was full and angling into Tilak who moved across as he looked to flick it, but he can't get the elevation or the placement. Hit straight to the fielder. First IPL wicket for Spencer Johnson! 148/617.6 Brilliant catch by David Miller! Mohit goes for another slower bouncer, this time cramping David for room. He swivels as he looks to pull and gets it off the top edge. Miller has to run in from deep midwicket and dives forward to grab that. What a big wicket that is! 142/519.3 And there ends Hardik's cameo! Short ball, cramping Hardik who goes for a pull and he only manages to top edge it down Tewatia's throat at long-on. He takes a rather simple catch and Hardik has to go. 160/818.6 Top edge and it's taken! Bouncer on middle at 137kph, Coetzee miscues the pull and it goes high in the air. Spencer claims it, gets under it and holds on to it comfortably. What a brilliant 19th over from him after an expensive start to his debut! Sensational stuff! 150/719.4 Straight to Rashid Khan at deep midwicket! Short ball angled across him does the trick. Piyush connected with the pull but couldn't get any elevation on it. Rashid catches it just above head height running back and Umesh Yadav is on a hat-trick! 160/9Extras3 (w 3)TOTAL162/9 (20 Overs, RR: 8.1)Did not bat: L WoodFall of wickets: 1-0 (Ishan Kishan, 0.4 ov), 2-30 (Naman Dhir, 2.6 ov), 3-107 (Rohit Sharma, 12.1 ov), 4-129 (Dewald Brevis, 15.5 ov), 5-142 (Tim David, 17.6 ov), 6-148 (Tilak Varma, 18.2 ov), 7-150 (Gerald Coetzee, 18.6 ov), 8-160 (Hardik Pandya, 19.3 ov), 9-160 (Piyush Chawla, 19.4 ov)
