- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.5 taken at third man! Avesh has Rohit playing a pull shot that he's late on - yes, he's beaten for pace - and ends up slicing it to third man. Rabada takes an easy catch. 8/16.2 sliced to point! Axar has beaten QDK in the air. This was beautifully tossed up a touch wide, de Kock had to reach out for this but the ball dipped on him as he went through with the stroke. Nortje with a simple catch 37/210.3 Rabada pouches a comfortable catch at long on! Surya will be disappointed, because this was a full toss. Was looking to clear Rabada at long-on, but just got it off the toe-end. The big South African moved swiftly forward and took it low down to extinguish what had been an innings of some promise 68/312.5 induces the error from Tiwary! Tossed up a touch more, and outside off. Tiwary winds up to go across the line, and ends up top-edging it. Pant calls, and calmly collects it right in front of where Axar follows through. Tiwary briskly walks off 80/414.1 chopped on! May have been a slight change in pace, but the length makes the difference. Back of a length, outside off, and Pollard will be disappointed. He looks for the nurdle down to third, but is only able to redirect it on to the base of his stumps. Mumbai in freefall mode 87/518.1 got 'im! Avesh Khan with a ball that would have made Waqar Younis in his prime proud. A hint of inswing with a yorker, and Hardik has already moved across his stumps hoping to open up options either side of the wicket. But he's too late with his bat as it slips through his legs and hits the base of leg stump 109/618.4 second in the over! Fullish, but not quite the yorker. A bit of in dipping movement in at 140 kph, and NCN goes for the big heave down the ground, but it goes on to strike timber behind him 111/719.2 slower, around off, and he looks to go inside out, but cannot clear Steven Smith at extra cover. Just on the edge of the circle, and has to time his jump to perfection 122/8Extras6 (nb 1, w 5)TOTAL129/8 (20 Overs, RR: 6.45)Did not bat: TA BoultFall of wickets: 1-8 (Rohit Sharma, 1.5 ov), 2-37 (Quinton de Kock, 6.2 ov), 3-68 (Suryakumar Yadav, 10.3 ov), 4-80 (Saurabh Tiwary, 12.5 ov), 5-87 (Kieron Pollard, 14.1 ov), 6-109 (Hardik Pandya, 18.1 ov), 7-111 (Nathan Coulter-Nile, 18.4 ov), 8-122 (Jayant Yadav, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.4 struck on the pad, is that gone? Not out says umpire Chaudhary. He rocked back to pull but missed it completely. Looked like it was sliding down. Mumbai review. Ball tracking comes back to say this would've smashed leg stump. Mumbai were seemingly reluctant to review that because de Kock too thought it may have been sliding down. Rohit went up for it eventually and what a good decision it turned out to be. 15/21.6 direct hit by Pollard, Dhawan is gone! He stepped out, Jayant shortened his length, Dhawan pushed it straight to mid-on and took off, but was beaten by Pollard's rocket throw at the non-striker's end. Comfortably short of the crease. 14/14.1 got him! NCN gets Smith with one that keeps low. Smith shuffled across to work it leg side but played all around it. Capitals are in trouble or what? 30/38.2 he's holed out to long-on! Pant backed away to slog but Jayant tossed it up nicely, Pant had to literally muscle this away and swung hard but just didn't get timing or power. Simple catch. 57/411.4 length, cutter, and he is struck in front of the pads as he looks to play across the line. Given out leg before, and he reviews. Nothing wrong with the impact, and also hit him right in front of the stumps, as he got stuck in the crease. Not inside edge. Umpire's call, and he's Delhi's fifth wicket to fall, as Mumbai continue to claw back 77/513.1 length, stopped on him, and he looks to work it towards the onside. Loops away towards short cover. Gratefully accepted. Change of pace does the trick again 93/6Extras6 (lb 2, w 4)TOTAL132/6 (19.1 Overs, RR: 6.88)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Shikhar Dhawan, 1.6 ov), 2-15 (Prithvi Shaw, 2.4 ov), 3-30 (Steven Smith, 4.1 ov), 4-57 (Rishabh Pant, 8.2 ov), 5-77 (Axar Patel, 11.4 ov), 6-93 (Shimron Hetmyer, 13.1 ov)
