Hastings to Zaheer, FOUR, this is what he was trying off the previous ball. Makes room by moving to leg, Hastings tries to follow him but there is just enough room to free the arms and hack it over mid-on
13.5 -
B Hogg to Coulter-Nile, FOUR, nice shot from Coulter-Nile. He skips out of the crease, gets close to the pitch of the ball and drives it to the long-off boundary. It beat the fielder in the deep with ease
12.3 -
Chawla to C Morris, FOUR, Morris stays slightly leg-side of the ball and sinks on one knee. He brings out the drive and the ball vrooms away to the deep extra cover fence
11.1 -
B Hogg to C Morris, FOUR, Morris, with a touch of bravado, uses the reverse sweep to collect a boundary against the spin to third man
6.1 -
U Yadav to Samson, FOUR, Samson was initially outdone by this one around off, got squared a touch but did well to soften his wrists and the ball raced to the third man fence courtesy a fast outfield
5.0 -
A Russell to Samson, FOUR, that will get Samson going, exactly the kind of the delivery he would have wanted first up. Lenght delivery around middle and leg and Samson gets a touch across and wrists it through mid-on, timed it well to beat a diving fielder
1.4 -
U Yadav to de Kock, FOUR, poor delivery and punished, de Kock had enough time to rock back and pull this one well over mid-wicket, one bounce over the ropes
0.1 -
A Russell to M Agarwal, FOUR, what a shot to get off the mark, as if he has come all set, length delivery and Agarwal was never trying to keep it down, lofted the drive over the cover region and the ball raced away to the fence
10.2 -
Chawla to Brathwaite, SIX, well, the man of the moment, Brathwaite shows his big-hitting prowess. He sinks on one knee to a straighter-one and slog-sweeps it over the deep mid-wicket fence
7.4 -
Munro to Negi, SIX, nice strike by Negi. He waltzes down the track, makes room, converts it into a fullish delivery and lofts it over long-off for a maximum. It came right off the screws there
1.5 -
U Yadav to de Kock, SIX, Yadav is not learning from mistakes and that has allowed de Kock to get into overdrive, short again, went back and flumped into the deep backward square leg fence for a maximum

Hastings to Zaheer, out Caught by M Pandey!! That's it. The burial rites are completed. Again, the ball stops on the pitch and poor Zaheer can't adapt. He is committed to a slog and has invested too much into it to back away. Loops it up off a leading edge offering a simple catch to Pandey running back at cover. Zaheer c M Pandey b Hastings 4(9) [4s-1]
15.4 -
B Hogg to Mishra, out Caught by Gambhir!! The ninth one goes and Delhi's grave is nearly prepared. Excellent bowling from this spin duo. It's Hogg this time who does the trick with a well disguised googly. Slips it in on a length around off, lures Mishra forward to drive, and takes the edge. Well taken from Gambhir at slip. Meanwhile, we'll have a strategic time-out. Mishra c Gambhir b B Hogg 3(9)
13.1 -
B Hogg to Samson, out Caught by Uthappa!! DEL's batsmen are falling like nine pins. The latest one to take the walk back to the pavilion is Samson. The straighter-one from Hogg, Samson looks to play a half-hearted drive and ekes out an inside edge. Uthappa shows sharp reflexes to pouch the catch with both hands. Samson c Uthappa b B Hogg 15(13) [4s-2]
12.4 -
Chawla to C Morris, out Bowled!! Chawla continues to use the googly to good effect. It is virtually a stock delivery for him. He picks up another scalp with it. Coming back to the wicket, Morris played all over the googly and could only hear the death rattle. In fact, it hit his pad and the middle-stump took a beating. DEL are in deep trouble here. C Morris b Chawla 11(9) [4s-2]
10.5 -
Chawla to Brathwaite, out Lbw!! The googly has done the trick for Chawla. Brathwaite camped back when he should have come forward and paid the price for it. The ball skidded off the track and Brathwaite missed with his attempted tuck. He was struck in front of middle-stump. Easy decision for the umpire to make. Brathwaite lbw b Chawla 6(4) [6s-1]
10.0 -
B Hogg to Negi, out Stumped!! Another one has been chugged down. Hogg bowls his stock ball, the chinaman, Negi waltzes down the track and tries to club it over mid-wicket, but connects with thin air. Easy stumping for Uthappa to effect. Reckless shot by Negi though. On the other hand, Hogg also extracted a bit of bounce there. Negi st Uthappa b B Hogg 11(19) [6s-1]
5.3 -
Hastings to Nair, out Caught by M Pandey!! This is how you set up a batsman. And Hastings will be delighted as he foxed Nair with his smart move. Once again kept the ball in the same channel. Nair was getting impatient and sliced the drive, did not keep it down and an easy catch at backward point. Nair c M Pandey b Hastings 3(8)
4.5 -
A Russell to M Agarwal, out Caught by B Hogg!! Listen to that crowd, that is an indication that KOL have got another one. DEL are three down and this is the kind of start GG would have wanted from his boys, length delivery around off, Agarwal tried to force the drive on the up. A thickish outside edge carried nicely to the fielder at third man and that will be the end of Agarwal's misery. He never looked at ease tonight. M Agarwal c B Hogg b A Russell 9(11) [4s-1]
3.0 -
A Russell to Shreyas Iyer, out Lbw!! He has been the hero for Mumbai throughout the domestic season but tonight he will have to be content with a duck. Poor shot and he has only himself to be blamed. Tried to play across the line so early in the innings and has to pay the price, the ball would have gone onto his middle and leg with the angle of Russell. Was hit well below the knee roll so no question of the height as well. Shreyas Iyer lbw b A Russell 0(3)
2.2 -
A Russell to de Kock, out Caught by Y Pathan!! Someone shouted "catch, catch" and senior Pathan responded in kind at mid-off, short ball around off, did not come nicely on the bat of de Kock. He was not in any position to pull this one, sliced the pull off the bottom of the bat and the ball ballooned towards mid-off, Pathan took it after fumbling on the first attempt. de Kock c Y Pathan b A Russell 17(10) [4s-1 6s-1]
6.3 -
U Yadav to Negi, no run, enough confusion to cause a run out but Samson is lucky that he is still there. Negi patted this one off the back foot to point and wanted a single, Samson responded in kind but then Negi stopped and Samson had to go back. Manish Pandey's throw hit Samson in the run and Umesh was left wanting to dislodge the bails at the bowler's end
1.0 -
A Russell to de Kock, 5 runs, what could have been a run-out results in four extra runs. de Kock patted this one off the back foot to point, a tremendous fielding effort almost caught him short at the bowler's end, but there was no one backing up and four free runs for the South African
