T Perera to C Morris, FOUR, moves across and this time makes use of the fine leg inside the ring, scooped it to short fine leg, where Dinda deflected it, should have been caught
19.3 -
T Perera to C Morris, FOUR, Perera was not giving him the room so Morris manufactured some for himself, moved away and carved the drive through cover
18.5 -
Dinda to C Morris, FOUR, this will do. Nothing wrong with the delivery, yorker outside off, Morris squeezes it away from the fielder at backward point, there was no third man and it races away to the fence
17.1 -
Ashwin to C Morris, FOUR, short and on the pads of Morris, pulls it past the fielder at short fine leg with ease
13.5 -
Ashwin to Duminy, FOUR, Pathan misfields at short fine leg and this allows Duminy a four which was not there. He swept this one straight to Pathan at short fine, who was outfoxed by the awkward bounce, the ball deflected off his knee and rolled away to the fence
10.2 -
I Pathan to Nair, FOUR, short delivery and punished. Nair rocked back and pulled it through backward square leg with ease
8.4 -
I Pathan to Nair, FOUR, honestly, Pathan has no business dropping it on that nothing length at his pace. And perhaps he won't, after this. Nair is on the front foot when he pulls it with a dash of disdain well in front of square
4.3 -
Dinda to Nair, FOUR, ah, thank you! What a treat for sore eyes. Dinda's plan all evening has been to cramp the batsman for room. He persists with it but is marvellously clipped off the hips through square leg. There is protection in the deep but the man is behind square and even a dive from him doesn't help
4.2 -
Dinda to Nair, FOUR, makes room and slices it over the extra-cover region. I think Nair wanted to go straighter than this but the bat turned in his hands and he skewed it off the outside half but made a decent enough connection to comfortably clear the infield
3.4 -
Chahar to Nair, FOUR, now this is glorious! This ball is a rank bad half-volley outside off to which Nair grounds his back knee and smears the cover-drive over the infield. Emphatic. Sublime
3.1 -
Chahar to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, oh a flirty drive through the covers. It's not a bad ball at all as it's floated on a length and is shaping away outside off, lures Iyer forward and has him reaching out for it. In the air for a brief while but finds the gap. Shouldn't discourage Chahar

T Perera to C Morris, SIX, full tosses become an ordinary delivery against power hitters. Morris cleared his front leg and dispatched it over the deep mid-wicket fence, it went a long way into the stands. 22 runs came off the last over, might have just given the breather DEL were looking for
19.4 -
T Perera to C Morris, SIX, another full toss and Morris has made use of the field. Lofted this one over the fielder at mid-off, in fact it carried all the way
18.2 -
Dinda to Duminy, out Caught by I Pathan!! It's Dinda's night for sure. Whatever he seems to be touching is turning into gold. Bowled a yorker just outside off and Duminy took it on the full after moving across, got the lap shot off the meat of the bat, but hit it straight to Pathan at short fine leg. Just when DEL would have thought that Duminy would add a few more, he departs cheaply. Duminy c I Pathan b Dinda 14(14) [4s-1]

Zampa to Nair, out Lbw!! Nair was not judging the length and was trying to sweep everything, has to pay the price this time. Missed this straighter one completely. In fact was rapped on the back leg and that made the task easier for the umpire. Seemed to be hit in line, replays will confirm things for better. Nair lbw b Zampa 41(43) [4s-5]
13.0 -
Zampa to Rishabh Pant, out Caught by T Perera!! Pant was getting frustrated with all those dot deliveries, had to do something out of the box, does not work for him though. Threw his bat curmudgeonly on this flatter delivery, got it off the toe and it skied high for Perera to settle under it at long-off. He would have been better off using his feet, it looked like a googly though. Rishabh Pant c T Perera b Zampa 4(9)
10.0 -
Zampa to Samson, out Stumped!! Oh Zampa, what a ball! Samson has played all around this one after coming down the track and it has ripped past his outside edge for an easy stumping. The length has been cunningly pulled back after watching Samson charge, the batsman spots this and tries to switch to defence but it's too good a delivery. Completely stumped, both figuratively and literally. Samson st Dhoni b Zampa 10(13)
4.5 -
Dinda to Shreyas Iyer, out Caught by Khawaja!! The short ball has done the trick. It's at good pace, about 141 clicks, and Iyer is not at all in control of the pull. He is on the front foot and is rushed to the extent that the weight transfer never really happens. Gets it high on the bat and slices it off a thick top-edge, and it lobs up in front of deep backward square leg. Looking at it again, Iyer got cramped for room as the ball kept following him and he took his eyes off it too. Very promising start from Pune. Shreyas Iyer c Khawaja b Dinda 8(10) [4s-1]

Dinda to de Kock, out Lbw!! Gone! The perseverance has yielded. And it's the massive wicket of QdK. Excellent shape from Dinda, swinging back into the left-hander on a full length. de Kock's head falls over as he tries to flick it away, he fails to connect, and is rapped right in front of middle and leg. The only question was if the ball had pitched in line which it had. Huge breakthrough. de Kock lbw b Dinda 2(8)
