- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 half-volley drilled to extra cover first ball! Shami sent this down at a juicy tempting width on sixth stump and Salt lashed this flat to Miller at rib height. Didn't have to move standing eight yards in from the ring. 0/11.1 kamikaze runout! Good length ball on the stumps flicked to short midwicket where Rashid Khan collects. Warner sets off from the non-striker's end but Garg goes nowhere. Rashid alertly runs straight to the non-striker's stumps rather than risking a throw because he knows he'll beat Warner in a footrace from 12 yards if the Delhi captain tries to stop and turn around mid pitch. Rashid gets to the stumps and just flicks the bails off himself with Warner having given up. Siren signals a no ball overstep so a free hit will happen next ball. 6/24.6 just let Shami bowl four straight with the new ball! Fullish length ball in the sixth stump channel, no away swing this time. Not really a drivable length but Garg pushes at this with little footwork anyway and a thick edge carries comfortably to Saha at chest height for a far less entertaining catch than he had at the start of the over. 23/52.5 this is beautiful bowling in any format! Good length ball at 132 kph angled across middle and off stump from over the wicket on a perfect channel that teases Rossouw into poking at this defensively but there's enough sideways movement to clip the outside edge and carry through comfortably to Saha at thigh height. 16/34.1 Shami can do no wrong, especially when he gets a tremendous flying catch from behind the stumps by Saha! Full length swinging away a touch on fourth stump, there to drive but Pandey is a touch late with no footwork and the late movement finds the edge to produce a chance flying low to Saha's right at knee height. He dives across first slip and snags a one-handed stunner while completing the sideways tumble on his hips to ensure his elbows don't hit the ground to jar the ball loose. 22/413.6 full on off stump at 129 kph, Axar drives to shovel this back over the bowler out of the ground but gets under it too much and skies it high in front of the sightscreen. Rashid scampers over 20 yards to his left before settling on his knees five yards inside the rope to take this catch. 73/618.3 full on the legs, chips this very high toward deep midwicket. Manohar charges in from the rope 20 yards and takes a catch sliding on his knees. 126/719.5 100 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. 130/8Extras5 (lb 1, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL130/8 (20 Overs, RR: 6.5)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Phil Salt, 0.1 ov), 2-6 (David Warner, 1.1 ov), 3-16 (Rilee Rossouw, 2.5 ov), 4-22 (Manish Pandey, 4.1 ov), 5-23 (Priyam Garg, 4.6 ov), 6-73 (Axar Patel, 13.6 ov), 7-126 (Aman Khan, 18.3 ov), 8-130 (Ripal Patel, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.6 fullish length angled across seventh stump at 136 kph and continues seaming away, Saha pokes at this flat-footed yet again and finally pays the price. Thin edge flies low at knee height to Salt taking this diving in front of first slip. 0/13.1 half-volley sliced straight to cover! Nortje channels the first ball wicket to start the match by Shami to Salt! This was sent down on seventh stump and Gill opens the face to drive this toward point but it is spliced low to cover at knee height and the catch is taken lunging forward. 18/24.6 bullseye! 119 kph slower ball foxes Shankar flicking across the line too early. It's a knuckle ball that would make Tim Wakefield and Charlie Hough proud landing very full on off stump line before cannoning into middle and off halfway up. 26/36.4 bullseye! Bowled behind the legs after an audacious shuffle across! Miller tries to play a release shot walking all the way across his stumps to scoop over fine leg and the early dot ball pressure results in a third-ball duck as middle and off stump are pinged back. 32/417.1 Manohar's struggle comes to an end. Length ball on off stump at 139 kph, yet another attempted pull is miscued but this one finally has enough pace on it off the bat to reach a boundary fielder. Aman jogs in 10 yards off the rope at long-on for a basic chest high catch. 94/519.4 119 kph slower length ball on fifth stump, Tewatia tries to muscle this over the leg side again but miscues it off the splice fluttering gently to Rossouw five yards inside the ring at extra cover and he backpedals a few steps for a simple head high catch. 122/6Extras5 (w 5)TOTAL125/6 (20 Overs, RR: 6.25)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Wriddhiman Saha, 0.6 ov), 2-18 (Shubman Gill, 3.1 ov), 3-26 (Vijay Shankar, 4.6 ov), 4-32 (David Miller, 6.4 ov), 5-94 (Abhinav Manohar, 17.1 ov), 6-122 (Rahul Tewatia, 19.4 ov)
