Boult in the 19th and strikes! What a great running catch by Krunal. Ashwin departs.  Kagiso Rabada, left handed bat, comes to the crease. He gets off the mark with a straight six! 11 off the over. DC-107/8 after 19 overs

4.59pm
DC go 8 down

Boult gets his third. Ashwin looks to loft it down the ground, doesn’t connect it off the middle, it flies off the toe end of the bat in the air, Krunal runs to his left from long on, Pollard too was charging towards the ball but then Krunal pouches it safely and goes tumbling. Good call and communication between the two fielders.

4.57pm

4.54pm

4.50pm

4.26pm

Stoinis’ struggles continue. He goes for 2. It’s that man Bumrah who gets his first wicket. Hits that hard length again. It tails away after landing. Stoinis, with his feet rooted to the ground, feels for it and gets an outside edge to the keeper who at first fumbles but then grabs it safely.

 

4.20pm

Shreyas Iyers stumped by Quinton de Kock. A flighted delivery and Iyer wanted to play it across the line. Misses it and de Kock is quick enough to do the rest. Replay shows Iyer’s back leg was in the air. Third umpire signals out, Iyers walks back.

DC-15/2 after 3 overs

3.40pm

A decent start from Krunal. Prithvi looked a bit shaky. He went for a slog sweep but got a top edge which fell well short of the deep square leg fielder. Shreyas then lofted one over mid off for a four. Krunal bowled a wide down the leg side but apart from that he was tight in that over. 6 runs off it. DC-7/1 after 2 overs

3.34pm
Big wicket for MI

Dhawan walks back on 0. Slightly wide and Dhawan tries to open the face of his bat. Unfortunate for the batsman as his shot falls right in front of Suryakumar Yadav, who takes a good low catch. FOW-1/1

Boult strikes early on.

Dhawan departs for a duck.
