END OF OVER:
20 | 9 Runs 1 Wkt | RCB: 181/4 | RR: 9.05

  • Anuj Rawat8 (3b)
  • Khaleel Ahmed4-0-45-1
  • Mukesh Kumar3-0-30-1

9.15pm Hard to say which team will be happier because there were some twists and turns during the innings and 181 is not a bad score. The highlight was Lomror, without doubt. RCB got a double blow after the halfway mark when du Plessis and Maxwell got out to consecutive balls, and Kohli wasn't racing away. Lomror came out at No. 4 and against the grip the spinners were getting and the slower balls from the quicks, he used his strength and even found the gaps to hammer a 26-ball fifty that lifted them to 180-plus, even while Karthik couldn't quite get going at the end. Warner changed his bowlers a lot, used six of them, and I'm curious why he didn't bowl out at least one of Axar or Marsh. Abhimanyu will take you through the chase soon.

Virat Kohli: 7000 runs is just another milestones during the journey of what I'm trying to do for my team. It's a nice number when you try to do something for your team. (On his childhood coach watching from the stands): it's a special moment, Anushka is here, my family is here, my coach is here. I was honoured with getting a pavilion named after me. I started my journey here and started playing for Delhi here. I never imagined all these things would come there and there's gratitude for all this. I want to put my head down and continue to work had. I've said it from day one that having Anushka around has been special for me. Having here around and now our daughter as well. It makes make feel like normalcy is around, and cricket is a part of life but that is the real deal. It's special when she comes to watch. My brother and other family members are here as well, so it's special. Lomror was unbelievable and me and Faf thought that 160 would be a good score. Mahipal came and changed the game, shifted the momentum towards us. My job was to bat deep and get those late runs, but DK and Mahi did a tremendous job as well. It gives the senior guys like me and Faf a lot of confidence at this stage of the tournament. It's a great sign for the team.

hijrat khan: "With nothing to lose DC should go for it "

Pizza: "Anyone else think the score could've been 170 max had Axar and Marsh bowled out?" Not cheesy at all

Lomror was all the way across apart from his right leg, and there's some bat before the ball hits the pad right in front of the stumps. Third umpire thinks it's a deviation but wants to check UltraEdge, which is taking ages and ages to load. We'll catch you all tomorrow. Oh it's here. There's a spike and it's not out

Mukesh for his third
