20.0 - Bhuvneshwar to K Jadhav, FOUR, cheeky from Jadhav and it's effective. He went across the sticks to scoop it past short fine leg, Bhuvi saw him and fired it full and outside off stump, even though Jadhav got into an awkward position, he managed to adjust and guide it fine past short third man. Anyway, it was an excellent last over from Bhuvi as the batsmen found it difficult to put him away

14.5 - Bopara to Duminy, FOUR, poor ball again. Too short, at this pace, around 120kph, you can't bowl short, Duminy rocks back and pulls it to the deep mid-wicket boundary

14.2 - Bopara to Duminy, FOUR, oh that's smashed down the ground. Slower ball full and outside off stump, Duminy muscles the drive through Bopara's legs. Thankfully he didn't get his leg in the way

13.0 - Bopara to Duminy, FOUR, poor ball from Bopara. Short and on the stumps, Duminy waits for the ball and nails the pull along the ground to the deep mid-wicket boundary

8.1 - Bopara to Duminy, FOUR, comes from round the wicket and bowls it on the pads, easy pickings for Duminy, who helps it down to the fine leg fence, the fielder was inside the circle and Duminy did well to place it in the gap

5.1 - P Kumar to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, in the air and it's a boundary! It was angling in just outside off, Iyer goes for the loft over long-on, he got it off the middle of the bat but it went high in the air. Steyn from mid-on gives chase, tries to flick the ball back in, but the ball bounces off the ad-cushion, the third umpire takes a look and asks the on-field umpire to signal a four

3.4 - Steyn to Duminy, FOUR, edged and four! It was full and outside off, Duminy goes for the drive, the ball takes the outside edge and runs to the left of slip, who had no time to react there. The ball hurries off the turf and crashes into the third man fence

1.4 - Steyn to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, Steyn bowls this on a length and the ball shapes away just a touch, Iyer leans forward and drives it to the right of cover, who dives but fails to stop the ball, the ball runs away to the fence in no time

0.4 - P Kumar to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, a little too straight from Praveen, Iyer goes across and glances it to the right of short fine leg, the ball runs away to the fence in no time

19.0 - P Kumar to K Jadhav, SIX, Praveen Kumar opts for the yorker but bowls a full toss, Jadhav slogs it hard over deep mid-wicket and the bat made a sweet sound as it made contact with the ball. 16 runs off the over

18.4 - P Kumar to Mathews, SIX, he's picked the slower ball, advances and muscles it straight down the ground and it just clears the boundary. Timely blow from Mathews

15.2 - Steyn to Duminy, SIX, what a way to get to fifty! Short of a length on the stumps, Duminy backs away and slogs it hard, the fielder at long-on ran to his left and jumped but the ball evaded him. 11th T20 League fifty for Duminy

15.0 - Bopara to Duminy, SIX, slower delivery on the stumps, Duminy lofts it handsomely over long-on. What a start for DEL after the break

9.4 - Karn Sharma to Shreyas Iyer, SIX, back-to-back sixes for Iyer, gets to his fifty in style. It was tossed up on the stumps, Iyer lofts it wide of long-on, who was running to his right, puts his right hand out but the ball goes over the rope for a maximum

9.3 - Karn Sharma to Shreyas Iyer, SIX, Iyer is in the groove today! It was floated up on middle and leg, Iyer whacks it over the long-on fence for a six

16.1 - Ashish Reddy to Yuvraj, out Caught by Warner!! What a catch by Davey Warner. That looked all set to clear the boundary, but he timed his jump to perfection at deep mid-wicket. Slower ball on the stumps, the length was too short, Yuvraj delayed the pull and timed it well, but Warner jumped high and grabbed it with both hands above his head. He was so close to the boundary, but he made sure that he didn't go back. This is a big blow for DEL. Yuvraj c Warner b Ashish Reddy 9(13)

16.0 - Steyn to Duminy, out Bowled!! Castled! Steyn ends his spell with a wicket. Duminy tries to be cheeky and walks right across the stumps to tickle this down to fine leg. Steyn follows him with a full ball, Duminy plays that onto the stumps. Steyn is pumped and he lets out a loud roar. End of a fantastic innings from the DEL skipper. Duminy b Steyn 54(41) [4s-5 6s-2]

End of a terrific knock from the youngster. Shreyas Iyer c Warner b P Kumar 60(40) [4s-3 6s-5]

2.1 - Bhuvneshwar to M Agarwal, out Caught by Dhawan!! Bhuvi picks up a wicket off his first ball today. It was bowled in the channel outside off and the ball shaped away just a tad, Agarwal plays at it away from his body, gets an outside edge and Dhawan at slip takes an easy catch. M Agarwal c Dhawan b Bhuvneshwar 1(3)

14.4 - Mathews to N Ojha, FOUR, to deep extra cover

13.3 - Coulter-Nile to Bopara, FOUR, too short from Coulter-Nile, Bopara rocks back and pulls well, Tahir runs to his left from deep mid-wicket, but he couldn't get there as the timing was too good

6.0 - Joseph to Warner, FOUR, Joseph bowls another full ball, Warner backs away and drills the drive to the left of mid-off, who dives, but the ball beats him and runs away to the long-off fence, 18 runs came off the over

4.3 - Mathews to Dhawan, FOUR, even before Mathews was into his delivery stride, Dhawan made room for himself and looks to cut, he gets an under-edge that runs past the keeper and through to the fence

4.1 - Mathews to Dhawan, FOUR, angling away outside off, Dhawan waits inside the crease, opens the face of the bat at the last moment and the ball runs away to the third man fence. The fielder in the deep was a lot squarer

18.5 - Mathews to Ashish Reddy, SIX, wow! That's a handsome hit. He's picked the slower ball and nailed it way back over deep mid-wicket for a 93-metre hit. Mathews tries to take pace off the ball again, but it's in the slot, Reddy waits, clears the left leg and slogs it away

17.5 - Tahir to Karn Sharma, SIX, HYD aren't out of this yet. A gift from Tahir, Sharma can bat, he goes down on one knee and slogs it hard and sends it into the stands over the deep mid-wicket boundary

17.4 - Tahir to Karn Sharma, SIX, in the slot and it goes all the way. Flighted delivery just outside off stump, Sharma gets down on one knee and slog-sweeps it all the way over deep mid-wicket

16.1 - Duminy to Bopara, SIX, what a start after the break. Poor ball from Duminy. Full and in the slot, it was wide outside off stump, but he did well to reach out and loft it handsomely over the long-off boundary

15.2 - Tahir to Bopara, SIX, flighted delivery outside off stump, Bopara lofts it with the spin and the bat turns in his hands but it clears the long-off boundary

10.3 - Mishra to Rahul, SIX, good connection and it's just cleared the boundary. Short and spinning away outside off stump, Rahul rocks back and pulls powerfully off the back foot and sends it over deep mid-wicket

9.3 - Yuvraj to Rahul, SIX, Rahul has had enough as he goes downtown! It was the tossed up delivery on off, Rahul comes down the tack and lofts it straight down the ground, he got it off the toe-end of the bat and still the ball travelled over the rope

20.0 - Coulter-Nile to Karn Sharma, out Caught by Mathews!! Second successive win for the Delhi and Duminy has a big smile on his face. Full and on the stumps, Sharma couldn't get under it, he tries to hit a maximum, but no timing on it, long-off runs forward and takes an easy catch. What an over from Coulter-Nile. HYD needed 10 runs off 6 balls and he conceded just 5. Karn Sharma c Mathews b Coulter-Nile 19(10) [6s-2]

19.2 - Coulter-Nile to Ashish Reddy, out Ashish Reddy Run Out!! Excellent ball and it's got DEL a wicket in the form a run-out. Reddy backs away early, Coulter-Nile fires a yorker wide outside off stump, Reddy couldn't reach out to the ball and missed. Karn Sharma wants the strike but Reddy was late to take off. The keeper throws the ball back to Coulter-Nile, who runs back and breaks the stumps. Ashish Reddy run out (K Jadhav/Coulter-Nile) 15(8) [4s-1 6s-1]

17.0 - Duminy to Eoin Morgan, out Bowled!! Wicket number four for JP Duminy! Wow! The captain is leading from the front. The slider from Duminy, it was bowled quicker as well, Morgan backed away and tried to cut, but missed it and the ball crashed into the off stump. Eoin Morgan b Duminy 1(2)

16.4 - Duminy to Bopara, out Caught by M Tiwary!! This is exactly what Duminy tried to do earlier in the over. He bowled wide outside off stump, but the length was too full on that occasion. This time he drags it back slightly, Bopara tries to loft it over long-off, but hits it straight down the throat of the fielder at long-off. Third wicket for Duminy and what a match he's having. Bopara c M Tiwary b Duminy 41(30) [4s-1 6s-3]

16.0 - Tahir to N Ojha, out Caught by Duminy!! Tahir gives another vital breakthrough for DEL. Slower through the air and wide outside off stump, Ojha had to reach out to play the drive, he sliced it in the end, Duminy runs to his right from backward point, dives and takes it inches from the ground. That was a top grab by the skipper. They are checking if it was a clean catch and the third umpire is happy that Duminy got his fingers under it. N Ojha c Duminy b Tahir 12(10) [4s-1]

12.4 - Mathews to Rahul, out Bowled!! Rahul throws it away. That is an ugly way to get out. Rahul walks across the stumps and tries to tickle the length ball fine, but misses and the leg stump is uprooted. Rahul b Mathews 24(21) [6s-2]

6.3 - Duminy to Warner, out Caught&Bowled!! Duminy seems to have the golden arm right now. 2 wickets in 3 balls for him as he picks his opposite number this time. It was a tossed up delivery, Warner looked to work it through the on-side and closes the bat face a little too early, gets a leading edge that goes to the right of the bowler, who moves across, dives and takes a good catch. Warner c and b Duminy 28(20) [4s-4]

6.1 - Duminy to Dhawan, out Bowled!! Duminy strikes first ball after the timeout. It was the slider from Duminy, Dhawan plays outside the line of the ball, the ball beats the inside edge and crashes into the off stump. DEL players are delighted after that wicket. Dhawan b Duminy 18(18) [4s-3]

12.3 - Mathews to Rahul, 2 runs, oh dear! Joseph couldn't hold on. Dropped! Slower delivery on the off stump, Rahul races down the track and completely mistimes the slog, Mishra was at mid-wicket but doesn't go for it despite the ball only going towards mid-on. Joseph runs to his right from mid-off, dives but couldn't hold on to the catch as the ball pops out

16.3 - Duminy to Eoin Morgan, 1 run, a direct-hit would have been curtains for Morgan. Flighted delivery outside off stump, Morgan pushes it towards cover and sets off, Shreyas Iyer has a shy at the bowler's end but misses
