18.1 - A Morkel to Bopara, FOUR, smashed! Bopara shimmies down the wicket, Morkel bowls a length delivery, Bopara drills it to the left of the bowler, the power on that beat the dive from the long-off fielder as well

14.2 - Coulter-Nile to Henriques, FOUR, top shot! Can't bowl short to an Australian. It was back of a length around off, Henriques was quick to transfer his weight on the back foot and pulls in front of square, the ball races away to the fence

12.1 - Coulter-Nile to Karn Sharma, FOUR, "catch it" shouted Coulter-Nile, but it was well wide of QdK. Starts from round the wicket, keeps it short and around off, Karn opens the bat face and runs it just wide of the keeper, QdK dived to his left but in vain

11.2 - Mishra to Karn Sharma, FOUR, floated up on middle and leg, Karn paddles it fine and beats the fielder at long leg. That was played extremely well from the leg-spinner. He is picking Mishra

7.3 - Duminy to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, reverse-sweep and that has been hit over backward point. Very full from Duminy, Morgan plays it nicely from the middle of the bat

6.0 - Zaheer to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, he's not missing it this time. Shortish delivery on the leg stump, Morgan whips it over square leg and it runs away for a boundary

3.2 - Zaheer to Dhawan, FOUR, in the airrrrr and just over the fielder at backward square leg. Can't bowl leg stump line with no fine leg, Dhawan whips it and doesn't bother to keep it down, the fielder jumps and tries to grab it with his left hand, but the ball escapes

1.5 - Zaheer to Dhawan, FOUR, poor line and Dhawan helps himself to a boundary. Short of a length delivery on the leg stump, no one at fine leg, Dhawan gets inside the line and plays the pick up shot, sends it behind square on the on-side and it bounces just inside the line

0.5 - Jayant Yadav to Warner, FOUR, edged but wide of the man at slip. Flighted delivery on the off stump, Warner looks to drive gets a thick edge but it goes well wide of the fielder catching at slip

19.3 - Zaheer to Henriques, SIX, Henriques is dealing in sixes now. Short delivery just outside off, Henriques flat-bats it straight down the ground, Tiwary runs to his left, stretches out his left-hand and tries to parry it back, but in vain

19.0 - A Morkel to Henriques, SIX, consecutive sixes for Henriques. They are upping the ante. Length delivery in the slot, Henriques opens himself up and tonks it over cow corner. He is packing some power behind these hits as they are clearing the rope with ease

18.5 - A Morkel to Henriques, SIX, massive! It was not off the meat of the bat, but shows you the power of Henriques. Morkel goes short, Henriques hangs back and pulls it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum

15.3 - Mishra to Henriques, SIX, Mishra has been poor on a wicket that has aided the spinners. Half tracker just outside off, Henriques goes deep in the crease and pulls it over mid-wicket for a maximum

11.5 - Mishra to Henriques, SIX, smashed! It takes a lot to clear the big boundaries at Raipur, but Henriques did it with ease. Flighted on the stumps, Henriques gets to the pitch of the ball and whips it over wide long-on for a maximum

2.3 - Coulter-Nile to Warner, SIX, top edge and the edge of the bat is thick enough to clear the boundary. Short ball steeply rising on Warner, who goes for the hook, doesn't control it and gets away with the edge as it goes over the fine leg boundary

15.0 - Coulter-Nile to Karn Sharma, out Caught by Jayant Yadav!! NCN finishes his spell with a wicket. Short delivery around off, Karn makes room to the leg-side and is hurried on the pull, the ball hits the splice of the bat and balloons over backward point, Yadav runs back and takes a very good catch. Karn Sharma c Jayant Yadav b Coulter-Nile 16(13) [4s-2]

10.4 - Jayant Yadav to Eoin Morgan, out Caught by Coulter-Nile!! Maiden T20 League wicket for Jayant Yadav. He has bowled well and deserved that wicket. Tosses it up on middle, Morgan moves away to the leg-side and wanted to go inside out, hits it a lot straighter than he would have liked, NCN runs forward from long-off and takes a good low catch. He had to put in the dive to get there. Eoin Morgan c Coulter-Nile b Jayant Yadav 22(25) [4s-2]

4.1 - Coulter-Nile to Warner, out Caught by S Tiwary!! This is a big blow for HYD. Warner is their key player but he's thrown it away. Warner is not happy with himself as he walks back. Having lost Dhawan, Warner needed to bat deep but he's gone early. Coulter-Nile follows Warner with a short of length delivery as he makes room, Warner slogs, but the bat turns in his hands, short mid-wicket jumps and takes a sharp catch above his head. Warner c S Tiwary b Coulter-Nile 17(15) [4s-1 6s-1]

3.5 - Zaheer to Dhawan, out Caught by A Morkel!! That's catching practice for Albie. Dhawan tries to be cheeky and perishes. Absolutely needless from the left-hander. Nothing but a short of length delivery on the leg stump, Dhawan moved across the sticks and tried to play a stylish flick, mistimed it completely, mid-wicket moved to his left to take an easy catch. Had Dhawan not walked across the stumps, he could have whipped it away easily like he did on two occasions previously. Dhawan c A Morkel b Zaheer 13(10) [4s-2]

18.0 - Duminy to Henriques, 2 runs, maiden T20 League fifty for Henriques. Coach Tom Moody applauds from the dug-out. Full delivery on leg-stump, Henriques flicks it to deep mid-wicket and the duo take another two, have lost count now of how many doubles these two have ran

19.1 - Ishant to S Tiwary, FOUR, great start to the over, just what DEL wanted. Pitched up delivery on off, Tiwary clears his front leg and drills it straight down the ground, Ishant tries to stop it with his boot, but to no avail

17.1 - Ishant to K Jadhav, FOUR, the look on Moody's face says it all. He just looks at the ball reaching the fence. Jadhav jumps out of the crease, Ishant digs it short and just outside off, the top edged pull flies over the keeper's head

16.5 - Bhuvneshwar to K Jadhav, FOUR, Jadhav registers his second T20 League fifty. He has got it in 24 balls. It has been an extraordinary innings. The whole DEL team are up on their feet, applauding the knock. Full and wide outside off, Jadhav reaches out and slices it square of the wicket, beats the sweeper cover with ease

16.3 - Bhuvneshwar to K Jadhav, FOUR, two dots and Jadhav gets a boundary off the third ball. He was expecting the yorker, was into position quickly, crouches low, opens the bat face and steers it between backward point and short third man

15.2 - P Kumar to K Jadhav, FOUR, Jadhav is pre-meditating, he skips out of the crease, expects it to be a full delivery, takes it on the full and hammers it straight back over the bowler. No chance for the long-off or long-on fielders

14.2 - Henriques to K Jadhav, FOUR, bad delivery and deserved the treatment. Short and on leg-stump, Jadhav swivels on the pull and hits it behind square leg, fine leg had no chance of cutting that off

13.4 - Bopara to K Jadhav, FOUR, third boundary of the over. Bopara has been very poor in this over, drops it short at his pace, Jadhav pulls it towards deep mid-wicket, beat the two fielders in the deep to perfection

13.3 - Bopara to K Jadhav, FOUR, lovely shot! Shortens the length just outside off, Jadhav goes back and punches it in front of square on the off-side, Morgan runs across from sweeper cover, but can't get there as it was timed sweetly

13.1 - Bopara to K Jadhav, FOUR, deftly done. Back of a length delivery angling in on off, Jadhav stays in the crease, opens the bat face at the last instant and runs it down to third man, the fielder was inside the ring and he was square

11.2 - P Rasool to S Tiwary, FOUR, what a way to open ones account. Flighted delivery outside off, Tiwary shimmies down the wicket and drills the drive wide of long-off, Warner had few yards to cover, but he can't get there

7.0 - Henriques to de Kock, FOUR, he's a little man but he can strike the ball very hard. The bat made a crunching sound as it made contact with the ball. Too short from Henriques, the only poor ball of the over and it spoils the party. de Kock rocks back and pulls over mid-wicket, beats the man at deep square leg as well

5.5 - Ishant to de Kock, FOUR, a fumble and it's gone for four. Bopara the culprit, shortish and just outside off stump, de Kock cuts it to cover-point, Bopara gets down on one knee to stop the ball but it bounces over the right shoulder

5.2 - Ishant to de Kock, FOUR, de Kock is looking ominous. Poor bowling from Ishant, he's allowing the batsman to camp on the back foot, short of a length delivery just outside off stump, de Kock muscles the pull hard over mid-wicket

4.5 - P Kumar to de Kock, FOUR, take that! Full and in the slot, de Kock drives very hard and it rockets to the fence between mid-off and extra-cover. He's looking very good in his first match of the season

4.3 - P Kumar to de Kock, FOUR, too short from round the wicket, asking to be hit, de Kock waits for the ball to come and nails the pull shot to perfection over mid-wicket

2.0 - Ishant to de Kock, FOUR, this time the use of the feet from de Kock, converts this into a length ball, also makes a bit of room, it was widish again from Ishant, de Kock lofts it over cover and picks up his third boundary

1.2 - Ishant to de Kock, FOUR, now he gets his shot selection right. Short of a length outside off stump, de Kock waits for the ball and cuts it nicely off the back foot and beats backward point to his right

0.2 - Bhuvneshwar to de Kock, FOUR, that ball races away between two diving fielders. Width on offer outside off stump, de Kock is very strong square of the wicket on the off-side, goes for the cut, gets it on the bottom of the bat, yet the ball beats short cover-point and backward point

15.3 - P Kumar to K Jadhav, SIX, this is amazing hitting. Praveen is helping him by bowling freebies, full toss just below waist height, Jadhav comes down the track and heaves it high and over deep square leg for a maximum

15.1 - P Kumar to K Jadhav, SIX, simply marvellous! This is a very difficult shot to play, but he made it look so easy and what's more he cleared the fence comfortably. Good length delivery just outside off, Jadhav backs away and lofts it inside out over extra cover

12.5 - Karn Sharma to S Tiwary, SIX, fabulous shot! Great use of the feet. He is showing some intent. Tiwary dances down the wicket, gets to the pitch of the ball and lofts it handsomely over long-on for a maximum

6.0 - Ishant to de Kock, SIX, de Kock knew that Ishant was going to bowl a short ball two weeks ago. He was waiting for it! The line is on the leg stump, with fine leg inside the ring, de Kock goes across the stumps and helps it on its way and clears the fine leg boundary

10.2 - Karn Sharma to Duminy, out Bowled!! Is that the game for HYD? This is precisely why de Kock's shot was needless. DEL have lost 3 wickets in the space of 12 balls. de Kock was batting so well with Duminy and the duo looked in complete control, but his dismissal has opened the floodgates. Flighted delivery pitching just outside off stump, Duminy plays inside the line, tries to run it down to third man off the back foot, the ball goes past the outside edge and shaves the off stump. Duminy b Karn Sharma 12(16)

10.0 - P Rasool to Yuvraj, out Caught by Karn Sharma!! This is an irresponsible shot from a senior player like Yuvraj Singh. Nothing but a flighted delivery on the stumps, a gentle drive along the ground was the need of the hour, instead, Yuvraj comes down the track. He doesn't look for a big shot either, just lofts the drive gently and times it so sweetly that long-on didn't have to move an inch. Davey Warner is delighted and he pumps his fist. Yuvraj c Karn Sharma b P Rasool 2(7)

8.2 - Karn Sharma to de Kock, out Stumped!! Needless from de Kock. It's not going to be easy for the new batsman, especially with the ball getting older. He comes down the track and looks to slog, doesn't get to the pitch of the ball, it keeps a bit low as well and the keeper did the rest. de Kock st N Ojha b Karn Sharma 50(31) [4s-9 6s-1]

2.4 - Bhuvneshwar to Shreyas Iyer, out Caught&Bowled!! This was on the cards. He was never comfortable against Bhuvneshwar and he offers a return catch. Short delivery on the off stump, Iyer goes for the pull, but the ball hits the splice of the bat and goes up in the air, Bhuvi called for it, didn't have to move much and he took it easily. That climbed steeply onto Iyer and he couldn't control the shot. Early wicket for HYD. Shreyas Iyer c and b Bhuvneshwar 0(7)

19.4 - Ishant to K Jadhav, 1 run, dropped! But Praveen saved three runs. It was a very poor delivery from Ishant, short and down leg, Jadhav was backing away, he tries to help it on the way, doesn't middle it as the ball lobs to short fine, Praveen dives to his right, gets both hands, but it pops out

17.4 - Ishant to S Tiwary, no run, run-out chance missed. Yorker on the stumps, Tiwary digs it to the left of the bowler, don't know where he was going as there was no run, Ishant runs forward, takes his time and fails to hit timber. Tiwary was nowhere in the picture, he had given up. Ojha then fires again, but Tiwary had made it in by then

7.4 - P Rasool to de Kock, 1 run, short and outside off stump, de Kock rocks back and cuts it to the man at sweeper to get to his maiden T20 League fifty

3.0 - Bhuvneshwar to de Kock, 1 run, a late call for a quick single but de Kock escapes. A direct-hit would have been very close. de Kock mistimes the flick to the right of mid-wicket, takes a while and then decides to set off, the fielder picks it up with one hand and has a shy at the bowler's end, had one stump to aim at and he missed
