3.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! A strangle down the leg side and Josh Hazlewood gets a bit lucky here! Hazlewood bangs it in a bit and just down the leg side. Abishek Porel looks to swivel and pull but is early on it. The ball doesn't rise up quite high and ends up taking a bit of under glove down to the right of the keeper. Jitesh Sharma takes a good catch diving low to his right and Porel has to depart after a quick start. DC 33/1! 33/1

9.5 OUT! IN THE AND AIR, AND GONE! CAUGHT! Krunal Pandya ends Faf's scratchy stay in the middle and DC are now 72/3. Nicely tossed up by Krunal, on the fuller length, right in front of the stumps, Faf du Plessis clears his front leg and tries to hit it downtown, but mistimes it badly, off the inner half of the bat. Goes through the shot and plays it aerially, but finds Virat Kohli at long on, who doesn't have to move a muscle. He takes a straightforward regulation catch in the deep. Faf du Plessis departs for a struggling 22 (26). RCB on a roll here. 72/3

4.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Yash Dayal gets a wicket now and Delhi Capitals are two down inside the first 5 overs! Dayal hits the hard length here, bowling it on off and tries to angle it away. No foot movement from Karun Nair as he hangs back and looks to just thrash it across the line. Nair ends up slicing it high and in front of mid-wicket where Bhuvneshwar Kumar settles under it and takes the catch. The pitch seems a bit two-paced at the moment. 44/2

16.2 OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! KL Rahul perishes now in an attempt to change the gears! Worries are looming large in the DC camp now. Bhuvneshwar Kumar hurls it on a fuller length, keeping it on the off stump. It lands and nips away a touch. KL Rahul gets his front foot out of the way and shapes up to sail the ball over long off, but neither does he get the timing right, nor the distance. Airs it flat towards long off. The ball dips in front of the long off fielder as Jacob Bethell dives forward and scoops it right above the grass. KL Rahul departs for a fighting 41 and DC are 118/5. 118/5

13.4 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Josh Hazlewood gets another wicket on his return and RCB get a timely wicket here. Immaculate length again from Josh, bowling it around the top of the stumps and on leg with a cross seam. Axar Patel hangs back and looks to swing across the line but it isn't short at all and the ball skids through quickly to hit the top of off and middle. Just when it seemed Axar and Rahul had started to get going, Josh has slammed the brakes and DC are now 102/4. 102/4

19.5 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! CAUGHT! Bhuvneshwar Kumar showing his class again, as he snags the third wicket! At a gentle pace, outside off, too full, Tristan Stubbs tries to loft it over cover, but ends up slicing it high in the air, towards the backward point region. The ball swirls up very high in the night sky. Josh Hazlewood locks his eyes on the ball and settles under it to take a fine catch. Stubbs departs for a quick cameo of 34 off 18. 162/8

16.5 OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! The Impact Player for DC goes without much of an impact! Bhuvneshwar Kumar masterfully changes the pace and bowls a slower one, keeping the line of attack on the stumps. It lands and holds a touch on the surface and arrives late to the batter. Ashutosh Sharma however, is months early into his leg side heave, and the ball beats the inside edge to disturb the timber. A double whammy from Bhuvi as Delhi Capitals have now slipped down to 120/6. 120/6

19.2 OUT! RUN OUT! A yorker delivery from Bhuvi, at the stumps, Tristan Stubbs lifts it over the bowler's head and runs the first one hard. The call is for the second and Vipraj rushes to the bowler's end. Virat Kohli from long off, sprints forward, first fumbles on the pick up, but recovers quickly and throws it flat to the bowler. Bhuvneshwar Kumar collects the ball on the bounce and dislodges the bails in a flash. Vipraj Nigam is found short of his crease as he tries to drag his bat in. 158/7

2.2 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! CAUGHT! Axar Patel provides an early wicket for DC! He bowls it on the leg stump line and just a yard behind the fuller length. It lands and holds up a bit on the deck. Jacob Bethell rocks back and shapes up to pull it over deep square leg, but he plays the shot a bit too early, and the ball stays a bit low as well. Mistimes it in the air, and the ball dips ahead of the deep square leg fielder. Karun Nair runs forward, dives and scoops the ball before the grass. Jacob Bethell departs for 12 (6). 20/1

17.5 OUT! CAUGHT! A bit too late, but a big wicket nonetheless for Dushmantha Chameera and Delhi Capitals! Can this be the opening they needed to make a miraculous comeback? They have done it in the past and will surely be on the hunt for a few more wickets. Chameers takes pace off and bowls it full and outside off, Virat Kohli looks to power it over the off side and is slightly deceived by the lack of pace as well. Hits it decently well off the lower half of the bat and to deep cover. Mitchell Starc stands just inches ahead of the ropes and takes a brilliant catch to his left. 145/4

2.4 OUT! DRAGGED ON! The DC skipper leading from the front with a double whammy! Axar, this time bowls it flat and quick through the air, it is that arm ball, on a length, just outside off, Devdutt Padikkal is hurried into the cut shot and goes through to power it away to the off side. But ends up inside edging it back on the stumps. Devdutt Padikkal departs on a two-ball duck, and RCB are rocked early - 20/2. 20/2

4 OUT! RUN OUT! The RCB skipper departs now and they are in deep trouble. Speared on a fuller length, curling on the leg stump line, Virat Kohli flicks it towards the mid-wicket fielder. Karun Nair stops it sharply, but Rajat Patidar sniffs a single as he sees Kohli taking initial steps ahead, and is almost halfway through. But soon realizes as the fielder releases the throw. Patidar turns back and tries to drag the bat inside the crease, but Nair moves to his left, picks the ball, and releases a flat throw and scores a direct hit at the bowler's end. The ball ricochets off the stumps and races away to the leg side, and with no proper backup in the leg side, it rolls into the fence. However, the side-on replay shows that Rajat Patidar is short of his crease. Rajat Patidar departs on a run-a-ball 6, and RCB have slipped down to 26/3. 26/3
