    0.2 middle stump out of the ground, and Bhuvneshwar has cleaned up the debutant with a corker! Very full and this starts on middle stump before swerving back in devilishly. Parakh has no clue about it (and he is not the first to meet this fate either), and he cannot jam his bat down in time. Bat hits the ground, ball sneaks past the blade and middle stump is left in a mess. RCB on the board very early! 0/1
    1.1 goes straight up, and Rahul is outta here too! Banged in short just outside off and this climbs through at 141.4kph. Rahul looks for the pull but the ball is onto him much, much quicker than he expects. Plinks off the splice and Jitesh calls early to complete the catch. RCB over the moon; DC, still trying to figure out what has hit them! 2/2
    3.5 an absolute snorter, and Rana has to trudge off for an early shower too! Back of a length on off and this nips back in, while also rearing up. Rana does not know where to go and he hangs up his bat like a periscope. Takes his eyes off the ball too, and it pops up off the glove. Padikkal moves to his left, takes the catch, and piles further misery on the Capitals! 8/6
    1.2 nicked and gone! Hazlewood has two in two, and DC have lost three across eight balls! This is a proper tempter. Full, wide and inviting the drive. Rizvi, though, does not show the necessary conviction. A bit of a loose waft and the ball grazes the outside edge on its way through to the keeper. Hazlewood on a hat-trick, and DC in all sorts! 2/3
    2.1 another edge, and another wicket! Bhuvneshwar has the ball on a string, and DC are in freefall! Length ball outside off and this leaves the batter very, very late. Stubbs goes feeling for it without any footwork and the ball kisses the outside edge. Padikkal gobbles it up at wide slip, and DC are four down inside three overs! 7/4
    2.4 no need for DRS this time, and DC are being ripped to absolute shreds here! Back of a length in the channel just outside off. Angles in and then snakes away. Axar is all at sea and he prods at it in hope. The ball skims the bottom edge and Jitesh lunges forward to send the DC skipper on his way. DC are five down for seven runs and no - this is not a drill! 7/5
    16.3 zing bails go flying, and DC have been rolled over for 75! Hazlewood has four, and he fittingly lands the final blow. Searing yorker on middle and leg. Porel looks to jam it out into the off side but is too late on it. Ball sneaks past his blade and crashes into the furniture. Third lowest-score in the IPL for the Delhi-based franchise, and RCB have run rampant across an hour and a half in the capital! 75/10
    8.6 a massive shank, and Miller has to go too! DC seven down! Pace-on now and this is a touch shorter just outside off. Miller has a massive mow across the line and gets it all wrong. The ball pops up off the toe-end and Jitesh does the rest. Miller throws the bat away in disgust, and this partnership has been broken. RCB with another body blow before the time-out! 43/7
    12.3 pinned on the back leg, and the finger goes up! Jamieson is not inclined to review initially but then opts for it reluctantly! Back of a length on middle, and this straightens after pitching. Jamieson plays for the angle and plays all around it. Seemed pretty straight but was it bouncing over? Nothing on UltraEdge. Ball Tracking comes up and...it shows the ball to be clipping the top of middle. Umpire's Call, and Jamieson has to go! 62/8
    15.3 hot knife through butter, and DC are nine down now! Leg-spinner on a back of a length outside off. Kuldeep does not pick it off the hand and tries to play it off the pitch. The ball, though, has lots of fizz on it and bursts through his attempted flick. Stumps rattled, and Suyash is finally on the board! 71/9
