- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.6 taken at third man this was bowled wide of off stump and Parthiv had a slash at it, gets it off the toe end where it loops high in the air and settles into third man's hands. 16/117.1 in the air and long on makes no mistake! Full on middle, and Kohli looks to lift this over the bowler's head. But Rabada's a quick bowler, and he's late into his shot. Iyer from long on runs to his left, and takes a difficult running catch in front of the sightscreen. Kohli is not happy at all! 133/55.6 caught at long-on another slower ball on the stumps, AB went for the straight drive down the ground. Gets it off the toe-end, and the ball doesn't travel, Ingram runs back and takes it. South Africa bowler, batsman and fielder. 40/210.4 in the air and taken at long on! Back of a length, outside off stump, and he looks to pull off the back foot. Flat-batted over Kohli, but it doesn't have the elevation to beat long on. Taken by Tewatia 66/314.3 beautifully done! Done in by the googly. Full on middle, flatter, and Moeen comes down the wicket again. Ball turns away from Moeen as he looks to slog towards the leg side, and Pant makes no mistake 103/417.3 once too many! Tries to guide this once again, but this time he can't play it past the keeper's right. Looks to steer this short ball to the third-man boundary again, but Pant runs to his right to complete the catch 137/617.6 Pant appeals, and Rabada asks the umpire too! And the finger has been raised. Short ball, on leg, and Negi tries to ramp a shot over Pant's head. Ball takes a feather-edge off the bat's slice and Pant times his jump well to complete the catch. RCB paying the price for being too cute with the bat in this over 138/718.6 yorker angling in from wide of the crease, and he tries to ramp this over the keeper's head after exposing all three stumps. He misses the shot, and the ball hits his left leg. Impact's in front of middle, and they've appealed for lbw. Umpire says out, but Siraj reviews! Replays show ball is crashing into leg stump 142/8Extras5 (lb 1, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL149/8 (20 Overs, RR: 7.45)Did not bat: NA SainiFall of wickets: 1-16 (Parthiv Patel, 1.6 ov), 2-40 (AB de Villiers, 5.6 ov), 3-66 (Marcus Stoinis, 10.4 ov), 4-103 (Moeen Ali, 14.3 ov), 5-133 (Virat Kohli, 17.1 ov), 6-137 (Akshdeep Nath, 17.3 ov), 7-138 (Pawan Negi, 17.6 ov), 8-142 (Mohammed Siraj, 18.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.2 caught off a top edge at deep square leg dragged it a bit short and Shaw wanted to pull that into the second tier, went on the back foot and was going hard at it, but only got a top edge that looped towards the fielder 69/20.3 caught at point Dhawan goes first ball, with a smart take by Saini. Invited the drive, cross-seam ball wide of off stump and Dhawan slices it. Saini takes a few steps back and holds it over his head 1/117.3 splices the pull! And Chahal takes a catch at short cover. Back of a length on off, and the attempted pull flies off the bat's edge. But wait, has Saini overstepped? Backfoot is on the line, it all depends on the umpire's interpretation. That's out, reckons the TV umpire. Gone after a classy 67 145/413.1 big appeal, and given! They consider reviewing, but Iyer asks Ingram to walk! Good decision. Length ball on middle, and Ingram shuffled across - exposing all three stumps - to ramp a shot over the leg side. He misses, and ball hits his back leg. Easy decision for umpire S Ravi 108/318.2 another one! Can Delhi avoid another collapse? Kohli's smiling, a rare sight today. Length ball angling across, and the back-foot swipe can't clear mid off 147/617.6 taken at mid off! Back of a length, on off, and he backs away to punch. Flies off the bat's top-half, and AB de Villiers holds on. Again they're checking for the no-ball, but Saini is fine 145/5Extras12 (lb 5, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL152/6 (18.5 Overs, RR: 8.07)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Shikhar Dhawan, 0.3 ov), 2-69 (Prithvi Shaw, 8.2 ov), 3-108 (Colin Ingram, 13.1 ov), 4-145 (Shreyas Iyer, 17.3 ov), 5-145 (Chris Morris, 17.6 ov), 6-147 (Rishabh Pant, 18.2 ov)
