4.4 OUT! CAUGHT! The man-in-form, Ruturaj Gaikwad has been sent back here! An easy catch for Ashwin and the centurion from the last game goes back for just 13. He looked to take Nortje on, but falls in the process. Slightly short this time, around off, Ruturaj Gaikwad looks to pull this one over mid-wicket, but only mistimes this one high in the air towards mid-wicket. Ravichandran Ashwin moves across to his right and gulps this down. Both the Chennai openers have taken the long walk back and Delhi will look to continue this. 39/2

| Faf du Plessis | 10 | 8 | 2 | 0 | 125 |
|
2.4 OUT! TAKEN! Axar Patel strikes in his very first over and Faf du Plessis has been sent packing. The Protea found the only fielder in the deep and this is a good bowling change by Pant. Patel hurls across a shortish ball, around off, quicker too, Faf du Plessis rocks back and pumps this one towards the deep mid-wicket region. No distance on this and Shreyas Iyer in the deep, runs to his right, gets low and pouches this. 28/1

8.3 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! The spinners are doing the trick for Delhi. Ashwin bowls a carrom ball, on middle. Robin Uthappa does not read it and gets down on one knee to slog it on the leg side.

Another one bites the dust for Chennai and are in a spot of bother now. 62/4

2.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Deepak Chahar draws first blood. Length ball, on off. Prithvi Shaw this time looks to clear the in-field but fails to do so. He miscues it in the air towards mid off. Faf du Plessis is stationed over there and he does not make any mistake. Prithvi Shaw was looking so good but has to take the long walk back to the pavilion. 24/1

| Shikhar Dhawan | 39 | 35 | 3 | 2 | 111.42 |

15 OUT! CAUGHT! What a big moment into the game as Shikhar Dhawan loses his wicket, and it is Shardul Thakur, the man with the golden arm who strikes once again. This time he gets rid of the big fish as Dhawan was well set in the middle. Coming to the ball, he delivers a length ball, outside off. Shikhar Dhawan comes forward and laces his cover drive. Moeen Ali jumps and takes an overhead catch. The ball seems to have just stuck in his hands. No DRS is needed for this and Shikhar Dhawan has to walk back to the pavilion. 99/6

| Shreyas Iyer | 2 | 7 | 0 | 0 | 28.57 |

5.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Josh Hazlewood gets the breakthrough. Hazlewood hits the length hard and Shreyas Iyer is caught in two minds. His body moves one way and his bat the other. In the end, Iyer gets squared up as he looks to pull across the line. The ball goes off the outside edge and pops up to short cover. Ruturaj Gaikwad takes the simplest of catches and Delhi lose their second wicket. 51/2

| Rishabh Pant C Wk | 15 | 12 | 1 | 1 | 125 |

8.5 OUT! CAUGHT! The birthday boy has to depart and after surviving an early scare in the over, Pant has holed out. Ravindra Jadeja fires this one in fuller and quicker, on middle stump. Pant decides to take on the slog sweep but the ball skids on. The ball goes off the top edge and skies towards backward point. Moeen Ali waits for it to come down and takes a solid catch. Pant will be disappointed about the way he got out. 71/3

12.5 OUT! CAUGHT! The debutant holes out! Flater ball, on middle, at 99.7 kph. Ripal Patel decides to take on and heaves it towards long on. Gets the height but not the distance.

19.3 OUT! CAUGHT! The game turns on it's head yet again! With just two needed off 4 balls, Axar Patel looks to play the expansive drive and end proceedings in style. One might question, was that really required? Full and wide, creamed straight to short cover. Moeen Ali takes a brilliant catch under pressure and Patel has to walk back. 2 needed off 3 balls now. 135/7
