- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.5 Is that one stump out the ground or two? Looks like off stump was flattened and middle rattled. The flying bails was shiver-inducing. Seam-bowling special. 141ks on a length, angling in from around the wicket, decked in to cramp Jaiswal for room on the flick, ball ricocheted off the bat onto the stumps. 9/17.2 Beaten on the reverse, lbw appeal turned down. Kuldeep took the matter, and literally Rishabh's hands, into his own and signalled the T. Where did this pitch though? Buttler tried playing it on the up, got beaten and ball hit just under the knee-roll, outer-half of the pad. It has pitched in line and Kuldeep might as well have Hawk-Eye tech embedded in him cos the ball is projected to land in line and go on to smash leg peg. It landed around a back of length too, which makes his conviction look even better. Buttler tried to break out of his struggle but perishes in the attempt 36/35.2 Guided to the keeper! Khaleel's around-the-wicket-angle works. He's cramped Samson for room, who tried to back away and chop the 141ks into-the-pitch ball through point. Ends up nicking it to Pant. Khaleel's jubilant, DC's new-ball bowlers have made it their powerplay. 30/213.3 Ashwin tries to clear deep midwicket but can't. 95ks length ball angling in, he saw it in his half and tried went for a stand-up slog sweep. Got a decent chunk but not enough to clear Stubbs, who took it and swivelled back, the step was within the cushion. Ashwin's given RR's innings some impetus though 90/417.2 Paddled onto off stump, that's a rare visual. Jurel picked the fast, full ball from outside the offside tramline, seemed to have middled it but unintentionally sent the bails on a sexy-looking flight. Second of those on the night after Jaiswal's dismissal. Nortje is pumped 142/5Extras7 (b 1, lb 1, w 5)TOTAL185/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.25)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 1.5 ov), 2-30 (Sanju Samson, 5.2 ov), 3-36 (Jos Buttler, 7.2 ov), 4-90 (Ravichandran Ashwin, 13.3 ov), 5-142 (Dhruv Jurel, 17.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.2 Flying Sandeep ends Warner's stay. No fifty for Warner but the umpires want to take another look. Length ball angling away, he once again flashes hard at it and gets a thick outside edge. Sandeep at short third moves to his right and leaps to catch that. It is a clean one and the Capitals opener has to walk back 97/33.2 Gone through the gate! Missile on a length, swinging back in a touch at 145.8kph. Marsh tries to run it down to third but is done in by the inward movement and is knocked over. The after-holi pink hair of Burger sway as he celebrates with full vigour 30/13.4 Bhui bounced out! Burger bangs it short at 138.5kph - it seemed more like 158.3! - Bhui only tries to fend it away. The ball gets big on him and lobs off his front glove. The easiest of catches for Samson who takes a few steps ahead and pouches it. Jaipur roars 30/213.1 Chahal strikes! Lands it on a shortish length, angling it wider outside, 91.1kph. Pant has to wait a bit and looks to cut but gets a faint lower edge. Samson does the rest 105/415.3 Porel perishes now. Chahal tosses it up and throws it wide outside off. He knows Porel will charge down again, and he has to fetch the ball from well outside off. Miscues it straight down long-off's throat 122/5Extras5 (lb 1, w 4)TOTAL173/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.65)Fall of wickets: 1-30 (Mitchell Marsh, 3.2 ov), 2-30 (Ricky Bhui, 3.4 ov), 3-97 (David Warner, 11.2 ov), 4-105 (Rishabh Pant, 13.1 ov), 5-122 (Abishek Porel, 15.3 ov)

It's time to change your opinion about Riyan Parag, even if he won't
All the runs in domestic cricket, "that constant support from myself to myself", and a maturity that's taken time coming have lifted Parag to the next level
Parag comes of age to keep Capitals, and away teams, winless
Chahal and Burger struck with Sandeep and Avesh closing things out with wide lines and yorkers
Parag: I have the power to deal with yorkers, short balls
He took down Nortje and powered Royals to 185 for 5 with his career-best 84* off 45 balls
Sangakkara: Maturity and hunger set Riyan Parag 2.0 apart
"He understands his game more and taking on more responsibility has become non-negotiable to him"
