- BATSMENRB4s6sSR13.4 taken at point! A short, straight delivery, the ball turns away. Rahane looks to work that away over midwicket, but didn't account for that turn. Gets a thick leading edge which lobs to Morris at point. 112/41.2 Short is run-out again! That's ridiculous running. A complete breakdown in communication from Short and Rahane. AGAIN. Short is run-out for the second time in successive matches. He taps a length delivery to deep midwicket. Rahane completes one easily and comes back for two. Why? Because there are large dimensions in this ground. Short isn't sure, he hesitates and comes back but a direct hit and Short is at least five metres short. 11/14.1 edged and taken! 142.2 kph, it's a sensational delivery. A good length delivery, pitches outside off, the ball moved away just enough, not enough to beat the bat but to take the outside edge as Stokes is squared up. Gets a thick outside edge, flies away to Pant's left, and takes a really good catch. 28/210.6 bowled! A flat delivery, drifting back in, Samson stays low and looks to heave that sweep over midwicket. He gets a thick inside edge into his back leg, the ball then ricochets back and hits off stump. He was waiting for the right delivery which he could attack, but didn't quite execute with this one. 90/317.4 and out of a yorker! That's Buttler bread and erm...butter. But he misses this. Buttler walked right across, looking to scoop the ball over fine leg, but it's a slower ball on leg. And very very full. Despite his excellent hands, he can't quite improvise fast enough to that delivery. Misses and the ball hits leg stump. 150/5Extras3 (lb 1, w 2)TOTAL153/5 (17.5 Overs, RR: 8.57)Fall of wickets: 1-11 (D'Arcy Short, 1.2 ov), 2-28 (Ben Stokes, 4.1 ov), 3-90 (Sanju Samson, 10.6 ov), 4-112 (Ajinkya Rahane, 13.4 ov), 5-150 (Jos Buttler, 17.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.4 the slower one, 113 kph, the ball pitches and swerves away. Maxwell backs away and swings himself off his feet almost. Some floaty, swervy bowling, maybe the knuckle ball? A thick outside edge is easily taken by Buttler. This has been a terrific over from Laughlin. 34/20.1 a diamond duck for Munro! A flat start from Gowtham on the pad, the ball ricochets towards square leg. Munro comes charging down, looking for the leg bye but Maxwell sends him back. Munro turns around and heads back, but the throw is on the bounce to the bowler, and Gowtham takes the bails off, with Munro well short. 0/14.6 that's very, very high and taken by Gowtham! A slower delivery is right in the slot, he would not want it anywhere else? It's on the pads too. Pant swings too early again and hits the ball in the air, backward square leg runs in and takes the catch, a very good, smart, hold-your-composure catch. 46/35.4 takes the catch! A slower ball on leg, Shankar bunts the ball away again to long-on. Stokes runs in and takes a simple catch to seal Delhi's fate. A match-changing 10 balls from Laughlin. 50/4Extras3 (lb 2, w 1)TOTAL60/4 (6 Overs, RR: 10)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Colin Munro, 0.1 ov), 2-34 (Glenn Maxwell, 3.4 ov), 3-46 (Rishabh Pant, 4.6 ov), 4-50 (Vijay Shankar, 5.4 ov)
