    10.4 Kuldeep has his revenge! It's short-ish but also wide and angled across him. Salt has to reach away from his body as he tries to flat-bat it down the ground. Doesn't get the elevation or distance and it's an easy catch for Tristan Stubbs. Two wickets in two overs, and DC may have pulled things back here 105/3
    5.1 Deep point takes it, Ngidi strikes first ball!. Kohli charges at the 132ks scrambled-seam ball outside off. Was on a length and seemed to slow down off the pitch. Kohli was definitely a touch too early into the shot. Looked to caress and launch it at the same time. Didn't follow through fully, bat face opened and it went too high. Nissanka moves right and takes it 52/1
    9.6 Left-armer gets left-hander! With a slot ball too, no less. 96ks, around off stump. Padikkal's eyes light up and he drives through the line but ends up scraping it to long-on. 99/2
    12.4 Edged and taken! That was anti-climactic! Massive moment for Delhi Capitals This is a half-volley but quite wide. Patidar goes chasing with a drive and gets a thin edge off the toe end of the bat. Rahul takes a neat catch to his right. Patidar's first single-digit score of the season 131/4
    15.2 Looks to go big but gets a top edge to short third! David wanted to take Axar on this over, and he gets out trying to do that. This is not quite full enough for the slog and leads to David's downfall 146/5
    19.4 Jitesh picks out long-off! This is a full toss outside off, pace on this time. Jitesh looks to go downtown but finds the fielder. A laboured knock from Jitesh comes to an end 172/8
    16.3 Has Kuldeep yorked Romario Shepherd? This is tossed up around leg and Romario has an odd swipe across the line and misses. Finger goes up immediately. Romario's reviewed this. UltraEdge confirms there was no bat on it. And that's about as plumb as it gets, pitching on middle and crashing into middle and off. Poor shot from Romario, and a poor review 149/6
    19.2 Mix-up and there's a run-out! Banged in short and going down leg. Krunal looked to hook but couldn't connect. Jitesh Sharma runs down the ground before Krunal can even turn and look and he's in no man's land when Rahul throws this to Ngidi, to take the bails off. Krunal is miffed with that 172/7

    0.4 Curves back in and hits front pad, big lbw appeal. Not given. Bhuvi keen, RCB review. Beaten on the flick, hit on the front knee-roll. Length ball landed outside off and came in to hit... the leg bail but wow it's three reds. Nissanka's head fell away, he was well outside the crease and looked to be outside the line too. But no. In front of off. Looked for the most part like it'd be umpire's call, but again, no! 2/1
    10.1 And Krunal breaks through! Rahul skips down the track to this flat and full delivery fired in at 103kph and looks to go over extra cover. Ends up slicing it a little and Virat Kohli runs to his left from long-off and takes a good catch. Massive moment in the game 87/4
    2.2 Salt slides on the practice pitch to take it at deep third! Heck of an effort. Was a few metres inside the ropes, got to the left early, took it low, rose and pumped his fists while looking at the crowd. Was a back of length ball outside off, Nair looked to take on Bhuvi again. The cut went off the upper-half of the bat. 16/2
    2.5 Stunning one-hander from Jitesh! RCB are turning the stadium into the colosseum. The ecstatic crowd and the fielders hound in. Was an outswinger on a length that Rizvi tried to punch through cover. Thick edge was going wide, close to where first slip would've been. But Jitesh got low, took it with his right hand. The upper-body fell in a heap, it looked like he had no time but he still got hold of it. Special 18/3

    15.5 Axar shuffles across and looks to scoop it. Ends up paddling it over short fine leg, and to his right. Gets away there. But, Axar is also down with cramps again 134/4
