Mathews to Southee, FOUR, Southee wins it for Rajasthan! DEL can't believe their luck, their losing streak continues. This is their 11th consecutive loss, equalling Pune record for most number of successive losses. Coming back to the ball, it was full and on off, Southee was expecting that and he drove it magnificently after clearing his front leg, he got it to the right of cover and long-off also had no chance of cutting that off. The ball rolls away to the fence in a flash.

Mishra to Nair, out Stumped!! One shot too many from Nair and he falls. Pretty needless having already got 11 runs off the over. Googly again from Mishy, Nair races down the track and looks to go through the off-side, misses the ball completely. Easy stumping chance for the keeper and he makes no mistake.

What a start for Mishra! S Smith c M Agarwal b Mishra 10(9) [4s-2]

Mathews to Samson, out Caught by Yuvraj!! He's picked the fielder out to perfection. Good length delivery on the leg stump, Samson flicks it nicely, it looked very good for a while but Duminy had a man stationed at deep square leg and it was an easy catch. Yuvraj was initially going back but he realised that it wasn't travelling and made the adjustment to come forward to complete the catch. The bowling change has worked for the Delhi. Samson c Yuvraj b Mathews 11(12) [4s-1]

Yuvraj to Deepak Hooda, 1 run, ohh dear! Yuvi has missed out on a run-out chance! It was bowled in the channel just outside off, Hooda cuts it to backward point and Rahane was charging towards the other end. Hooda was late to get off the blocks as the fielder fired in a throw right in the hands of Yuvraj, who was standing besides the stumps at the non-striker's end. Yuvraj makes a mess of the take and Hooda makes his ground. The crowd is not happy either
