9.15pm So DC's first 200 of the season. Will it be enough? We will be back soon to find out.
9.10pm Prtihvi Shaw says, and this is not verbatim: I had work hard for this one but sometimes you have to. The new ball is seaming a little but the ball is coming on well. There was dew even before the start of the match. I think it is a very good score. It is not really easy to bat on especially in the powerplay as it is seaming. It gets easier after the powerplay but the slower ones are bouncing like a tennis ball.
9.08pm Twenty-three off the last over but still just a par score, I think. Rossouw has been a notch above the rest with 82 runs at 222 SR. Super soppers running on the ground. There is definite dew.
Brar gets a third. Neither Arshdeep nor Rabada

VS: "Terrific for Brar to concede only 16 in this 2 overs when batsmen are looking to hit every ball out of the park..."
Ellis to bowl out

Simplyskud: "That wasn't an old Shaw like innings - a glimpse here and there on this belter of a pitch and outfield but laborious in most parts !"
