- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.5 Almost played on! And oh dear, Abhishek is run-out! He did not go for it quickly, almost sent Head back but then continued running. NIgam gets in from backward point and underarms it on the stumps. Head looked to go hard at the cover drive and got a thick inside edge onto his back leg. The ball rolled to the off side and he set off for a run. Little did he anticipate the run-out 11/14.1 Starc gets Head for the sixth time across formats in all recognised cricket! It is a nothing shot. Back of a length cross-seam delivery outside off, Head hangs back to steer it over short third. Only manages a glove to Rahul, who makes no mistake. SRH's challenge falling flat and now their line-up will be severely tested. Starc is given a third over inside the powerplay and he delivers with the big scalp 37/42.1 Slashed straight to the man in the deep! Starc and Kishan both cannot believe it for contrasting reasons. This is short and wide at 139.8kph, too wide to resist the slash. But Kishan hits it straight to STubbs at deep backward point. Didn't have to move an inch. DC make early inroads 20/22.3 High in the air and straight into the waiting hands of Axar! SRH collapsing early. The offcutter from Starc, on middle and off. Reddy perhaps expects another high-pace delivery and backs away massively to go over the off side. All he manages to do his sky it high to Axar, who gets to his right from mid-on, settles under it and takes it 25/315.5 JFM times his jump to perfection at deep midwicket, he was racing to the right, both feet off the ground as he caught the ball with both hands and then landed on the right foot before twisting and tumbling to the right. Aniket is on one knee before dragging himself off. Was a teasing ball. On the shorter side, slow too, Aniket swivelled and pulled it hard again, timing was good, it went flat. Just a case of freak catching. 148/810.5 Vipraj takes a stunning catch running back, even he can't believe how that stuck. He ran back from backward point, coiled about a touch. He didn't slow down and almost overran the ball, almost being the keyword. His body was facing the crowd, the head was up looking at the ball, he was cramped but managed to catch the ball around chest height before tumbling back. Was a three-quarter-length ball around off that Klaasen tried to mow over long-on. Ball skied off the edge. Klaasen's counterattack ends. 114/511.6 Tight over finishes with the wicket. 84ks fullish ball outside off, tossed up, Manohar tried to whack it over long-off. Drove it off the bottom of the bat, easy catch for Faf, who took it with a lunge. DC back on top 119/613.6 And Kuldeep manages to tease out Cummins this time. Inexpensive overs were being strung and the hit-me ball was sent down. Slow on a length, angling away just outside off. Cummins opened his stance and tried to drag it across with a full-power pull. Found JFM close to the deep-midwicket boundary 123/718.4 Another good catch to finish, Starc finishes with five. Faf moves to the right and dives, takes it with both hands while in the air. Was a fullish ball to which Mulder made room and tried to drive with an open bat-face 163/1018.2 Another stunner, this time it's Axar taking a slider. Was diving low to the left at mid-off, had his eyes on the ball and the hands followed creating kind of a diamond shape. Went with both hands and slid through while staying in possession. Harshal had danced down to get the ball on a full length and went for the extra cover drive. 162/9Extras11 (nb 2, w 9)TOTAL163 all out (18.4 Overs, RR: 8.73)Did not bat: Zeeshan AnsariFall of wickets: 1-11 (Abhishek Sharma, 0.5 ov), 2-20 (Ishan Kishan, 2.1 ov), 3-25 (Nitish Kumar Reddy, 2.3 ov), 4-37 (Travis Head, 4.1 ov), 5-114 (Heinrich Klaasen, 10.5 ov), 6-119 (Abhinav Manohar, 11.6 ov), 7-123 (Pat Cummins, 13.6 ov), 8-148 (Aniket Verma, 15.5 ov), 9-162 (Harshal Patel, 18.2 ov), 10-163 (Wiaan Mulder, 18.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.6 Soft, soft dismissal and Fraser-McGurk is out of here! Lands it on a length on middle, JFM looks to just push it down the ground. All he does it chip it back tamely to Zeeshan, 15 runs and two wickets in the over. Is there still life in the game? 96/29.1 Fantastic catch from Mulder, Zeeshan provides the breakthrough. Tossed up on middle, du Plessis looks to go big but skies it high. Mulder has his eyes on the ball as he runs in from long-on, has to dive forward to clinch it and does so while he tumbles. du Plessis falls after a superb knock, surely DC can't mess it up from here 81/111.2 Bowled round the legs. Zeeshan reduces Rahul's explosion into a cameo. Has three-for too. Was a pre-meditated shot, Rahul went across to off stump and got on one knee for a powerful sweep. He missed it, the ball was very close to the pad but went uninterrupted to flatten leg stump. Replays show it may have grazed pad. Was a legbreak that landed around leg stump, hawk-eye says the ball would've gone well down leg had it not spun. 115/3Extras8 (b 2, lb 4, w 2)TOTAL166/3 (16 Overs, RR: 10.37)Fall of wickets: 1-81 (Faf du Plessis, 9.1 ov), 2-96 (Jake Fraser-McGurk, 9.6 ov), 3-115 (KL Rahul, 11.2 ov)
