- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.3 it's a miracle! AKA, a wicket! Back of a length on middle, Jaiswal comes down the track trying to bully another cross bat shot over the leg side but cramps himself coming too close to the ball and this lobs up off a top edge over the middle of the pitch. Mukesh calls for it and takes a simple catch to end a rollicking opening stand. 98/118.3 yorker on middle at 134 kph, jammed out back to the bowler. Mukesh fires back at Buttler for a runout chance at the stumps that misses. Warner is appealing for a catch believing this was not a bump ball. Indeed the replays show this was not jammed off into the ground but rather bounced first and came off the toe floating back to Mukesh. He juggled it initially before taking the catch on the rebound. It came back to Mukesh at rib height to his left and he stabbed at it initially to pop it further up into the air before taking it on a second effort. Rather than celebrating a catch though, he fired at the stumps for a runout. It was really Warner who appealed for the catch. Bizarre sequence but Buttler's innings finally ends. 175/49.5 floated full on sixth stump, skies this a mile high but well short of the long-on rope. Nortje has a much less adventurous effort required for this compared to the theatrical drop on the run on the Buttler chance earlier. Just waits for it to come down into his hands at neck height 15 yards in from the rope for a simple catch. 103/213.5 bullseye! Full on off stump tailing in a touch. Parag heaves across the line and misses. Middle and off stump are split apart halfway up. 126/3Extras6 (lb 1, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL199/4 (20 Overs, RR: 9.95)Fall of wickets: 1-98 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 8.3 ov), 2-103 (Sanju Samson, 9.5 ov), 3-126 (Riyan Parag, 13.5 ov), 4-175 (Jos Buttler, 18.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.3 sensational one-handed catch from Samson! Full on fourth stump, Shaw goes to flick through mid-on, Samson is wrong-footed initially but recovers to fling himself to his right in front of slip and clings onto a low chance at shin height. 0/118.6 good length ball on middle, Warner goes to reverse/switch hit this and misses off the chest while crouching low. Big lbw shout.... Umpire takes five seconds..... and finally raises the finger. Warner goes for DRS immediately. Again, he was hit in the torso after missing the shot, the question is how how was he hit there considering he was crouching low. Ball-tracking shows he was indeed crouched very low, as three reds light up on the projection. 139/80.4 full and swinging into middle, Pandey is hit low on the shins after he misses a flick and this is stone dead. Pandey turns and walks away before the umpire raises the finger. Warner has a chat with him to cajole him into using a review. Pandey's entire body language shows he knew he was very out. This is going to rub salt into the wound. No way was this missing the stumps. Indeed three full reds show up on ball-tracking with the ball crashing into leg stump after hitting him in front of middle. Delhi lose a review and Boult is on a hat-trick. 0/25.4 full on fourth stump, Rossouw goes for one of his bread and butter reverse sweeps, but this comes off more of a toe/cue shot that floats gently to cover on the ring. Sharp catch taken at ankle height diving forward by Jaiswal, who is having a terrific all-round match. Rossouw wanted to play that much more squarer than he did. 36/312.6 drag on! Fullish length ball angled in from around the wicket on fourth stump, Yadav goes for a big heave over midwicket and inside edges this onto his pads before it caroms back gently onto middle stump. 100/414.5 charges down the stumps to a ball dragged much wider outside off and with the length pulled back too. Axar gets nowhere remotely close to this and flails in vain missing badly. Simple stumping. 111/515.3 full on the stumps, Powell tries to slog this but gets more wrists than biceps behind this shot trying to adjust to the spin on the carrom ball. It goes high to deep midwicket and a safe catch is taken two yards inside the rope by Hetmyer at chest height. 118/618.2 floated full on leg stump, slogs this out to deep midwicket but not much power behind the shot and it floats to Hetmyer coming in 10 yards off the rope, who takes the catch sliding forward on his knees. 138/719.2 bullseye! Slower length ball skids on low toward leg stump at 109 kph, Nortje flails awkwardly over the ball with his shot and the ball pings the outer half of leg stump 3/4 of the way up. 140/9Extras10 (lb 2, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL142/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.1)Did not bat: KK AhmedFall of wickets: 1-0 (Prithvi Shaw, 0.3 ov), 2-0 (Manish Pandey, 0.4 ov), 3-36 (Rilee Rossouw, 5.4 ov), 4-100 (Lalit Yadav, 12.6 ov), 5-111 (Axar Patel, 14.5 ov), 6-118 (Rovman Powell, 15.3 ov), 7-138 (Abishek Porel, 18.2 ov), 8-139 (David Warner, 18.6 ov), 9-140 (Anrich Nortje, 19.2 ov)
