That brings an end to tonight's presentation. That was interesting from David Warner and Rilee Rossouw on the pitches at Kotla. Pretty scathing that they could never trust the home pitches, and lost all home advantage. On a true pitch, the best of their batting came through, and the value of their bowlers shone through. Kuldeep and Nortje were sensational. On a slow pitch, you negate the quality of Kuldeep because many other spinners can do well there. All this analysis will go into the final analysis. PBKS are also almost out bar a mathematical miracle. We take your leave now. The action never stops. See you tomorrow.

11.40pm Rilee Rossouw is the Player of the match. He says, and this is not verbatim: It was long overdue. I am chuffed it did come, and with the win. It is a good wicket, which suits our game. It is just natural the batting on this wicket. Credit to Livi, he played an unbelievable knock.

11.38pm David Warner says: It was a bad performance in the field but we will take the win. We lost the toss but batter with fluidity. The wicket helped after the inconsistent pitches at home. You want consistency from your home venue. We haven't been able to work out what am good total there is.

11.25pm Dhawan spot on with the analysis of his bowlers. They didn't pitch it up when it was seaming around. Khaleel and Ishant did. That was the big difference between the two sides. And then Nortje sealing it with the 16th and the 19th. Just heavy lengths with that extra bounce in the pitch.

11.20pm Shikhar Dhawan says, and this is not vebratim: It was frustrating, but I don't think we bowled well in the first six overs. We should have taken some wickets the way the ball was moving around. You always hope. After that no-ball, we hoped because Livi was playing a great knock. Even my decision to bowl a spinner last over backfired. And before that the fast bowlers didn't pitch the ball up in the powerplay. That was the plan but we didn't execute. It is hurting us. Every powerplay we are giving 50-60 runs and not taking wickets. We knew the first two-three overs it would swing, and we knew we could take our time. The first over also went maiden, which doesn't often happen, but it did happen.

11.16pm A consolation win for DC as the other batters leave Liam Livingstone stranded. He had absolutely no support in conditions that this chase was very possible. PBKS now need some kind of wild miracle to make it through. A weird tactical change today: Taide in for Raza ro accommodate Rabada

Sharma to Livingstone, no run, thick outside edge to a length ball. Wide of deep cover. Could have taken two but doesn't run

Surely it is game over now

Sharma to Livingstone, no run, he has missed out. Just overhits this one. A plum full toss outside off, and he has slogged this to deep midwicket instead of long-off. Misses it by a mile

Free hit coming up. PBKS are still alive. They need three sixes. Or two sixes and a four. What have you done Ishant?

Sharma to Livingstone, (no ball) SIX, high full toss, drilled over wide long-off for a six, and there is a lifeline coming PBKS's way as this has been deemed higher than the waist. DC are not even reviewing it. That is strange. Oh they have reviewed it. The cameras have missed the signal from Warner. It is just above the waist, and the no-ball call stays

The only contest here is if Livingstone gets a hundred

Sharma to Livingstone, SIX, low full toss, he goes deep in the crease and lofts him over long-on for a six

All over now although PBKS are mathematically still in this
