END OF OVER:

  • Rashid Khan4-0-28-1

9.09 pm Shami's new-ball spell feels like forever ago but he was the story of the innings taking four wickets inside of three overs, ending with 4 for 11 in four, to put Delhi in a massive hole which they struggled mightily to dig out of. The four wickets now give him 17 on the season and he takes control of the IPL Purple Cap. But Aman Hakim Khan's maiden IPL fifty has given them a fighting chance. Can last-place Delhi spring a remarkable upset or will Gujarat cement their hold on first place with another win? Stay with us for the start of the chase.

Sharma to RV Patel, OUT, 100 IPL wickets for Mohit! Slower length ball on seventh stump, slogs at this and skies this over backward point. Hardik shuffles to his right from the edge of the circle and takes this reaching forward somewhat awkwardly at knee height before tumbling to the turf and holding on.

Rashid Khan to Nortje, 1 run, full and punched away through the off side for none.

Sathish: "Heard all kinds of acronyms for DC but they have done some Damage Control. If they get past 140 and get some early wickets, who knows they could end up becoming toDay's Champion."

Rashid Khan to Nortje, no run, low full toss on middle, Nortje goes for a reverse sweep and misses. Huge lbw shout denied. Looked stone dead. But Hardik curiously opts against a review feeling Nortje must have got glove on it.

Manoj: "6th stump line, still third umpire checking ultra edge and ball tracking! Mind boggling!" Yeah it was ugly all around.

Sharma to Aman Khan, no run, full on fifth stump at 137 kph, goes to reverse scoop this over third man but misses off the pads and it dribbles away for none. Hardik goes for DRS purely because there are two overs left in the innings but this has no hope of being given out. It was quite clearly outside off stump by some distance, perhaps would not have even hit two sets of stumps.An all-time shockingly bad review and 60 seconds of our lives we'll never get back. What it does do though is bring into question why he did not use DRS much earlier in the innings on a decision which would have been overturned on Noor's lbw shout.

Sharma to RV Patel, 1 run, full and wide on the guideline, heaves this along the ground to long-on for one.

KEdar: "Aman has given DC a semblance of respect. If they can get to 140 ish and grab early wickets maybe this game will be interesting. "

Sharma to Aman Khan, 1 run, length ball on sixth stump, toe-slapped to long-on for one.

He could have been dismissed very early in his innings by Noor had Hardik gone for DRS on an lbw shout.

Sharma to Aman Khan, 2 runs, slower ball lands on a good length wide outside off on the guideline, slapped to the cover sweeper for one but the relay is wild and escapes Mohit wide of the non-striker's stumps so they take a second on an overthrow.
