1.1 OUT! Confusion and Samson is gone! Run out! Oh dear... what a bonus for Delhi. A communication breakdown between Samson and Rahane. On a length, around off, Rahane works it to the leg side and initially sets off for a single. Samson responds but then Rahane stops as he sees Rabada charge to the ball to his right. However, Samson does not see Rahane stopping initially. He continues to charge and then looks up and by that time, he is halfway down. He has to apply the brakes, then do a U-turn. Rabada picks the ball up, takes aim and then bang. Right at the stumps at the non-striker's end. Samson tries to dive in but is too late. He is gone by a mile. He is certainly not happy and lets that know to Rahane. 5/1

| Steve Smith C | 50 | 32 | 8 | 0 | 156.25 |
|
13.1 OUT! Smith holes out! 'You could have hit two more runs, sir!' yells my colleague selfy from here. Because those two runs would have meant 2000 Indian T20 League runs for him. Coming to the ball, it was fired up flat outside off, Smith came down the track and looked to go over the top. Unfortunately for him though, the ball hit the toe end of the bat. Still, it looked to clear the man stationed there. Thankfully for Delhi, it was a tall man. Chris Morris judged the catch to perfection, took it, then held his balance near the ropes. End of a 130-run stand. Can Rajasthan still get to 200? 135/2

| Ben Stokes | 8 | 8 | 1 | 0 | 100 |
|
15.5 OUT! Caught! Stokes has holed out to a full toss. And he cannot believe it. It is a bit of a high full toss and hence perhaps Ben mistimed it. The ball barely carried towards long on where Shreyas Iyer took it comfortably, almost 15 yards inside the boundary line. 157/3

| Ashton Turner | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
|
16.4 OUT! Caught! 5TH CONSECUTIVE DUCK FOR TURNER IN THE T20 FORMAT! Full and outside off, Turner comes forward and chips it away, but straight to Sherfane Rutherford at short extra cover! He cannot buy a run, this Aussie. 163/4

| Stuart Binny | 19 | 13 | 2 | 0 | 146.15 |
|
19.3 OUT! BOWLED! That is perfect from Rabada. A corker of a yorker. Fired in on middle, Binny is too late in getting his bat down and khadoosh! The ball goes under and uproots the stumps. That was delivered with a scrambled seam. 187/5

| Riyan Parag | 4 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 133.33 |
|
20 OUT! BOWLED! A wicket of a yorker earlier and now a wicket off a full toss. Rabada just continues to take wickets. Not the best of balls but it is too quick for Parag who was trying to back away and smash it over cover. But he was done in by the 151.7 kph full toss, lost it completely and the leg stump was sent for a walk. RAJASTHAN FINISH ON 191/6! 191/6

|
16.4 OUT! Caught! Shaw holes out. One might feel it was unnecessary but with Pant going on so well at the other end, it must have been difficult for Shaw to hold himself back. This was tossed up outside off and Prithvi could not resist from playing the slog sweep. But all he managed was a top edge with the ball spinning away. Simple catch for Riyan Parag at wide long on. A calculated knock from Shaw. 31 more needed from 20 balls. 161/3

| Shikhar Dhawan | 54 | 27 | 8 | 2 | 200 |
|
7.3 OUT! STUMPED! Gopal is the man who provides Rajasthan the breakthrough. How many times have we seen him delivering for his captain this season? Clever stuff from him. He sees Dhawan come down the track so he fires it at 92.5 KPH and wide outside off. Dhawan fails to put bat on ball as he is a touch late in the shot. Samson behind, collects the ball and whips the bails off. Gopal waves Shikhar off. An excellent innings though from Dhawan, he has got Delhi off to a very good start. Rajasthan though now have a chance to get things under a bit of control. 72/1

| Shreyas Iyer C | 4 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 80 |
|
8.5 OUT! Straight to the man! Two wickets in quick succession for the hosts and they are back on top now. The in-form Delhi skipper is walking back without making much of an impact. A nothing delivery to be honest this. It is short and on off, Iyer once again looks to pull but does not get the desired connection. He hits it flat and straight down the throat of Ben Stokes at the mid-wicket boundary. He takes a dolly. Suddenly the crowd here has come alive. 77/2

18 OUT! This time Rutherford holes out! He throws it away. Not sure though if this was needed by him. A good delivery by Kulkarni. It was the slower one and outside off, also, the length was shorter. Rutherford looks to flat-bat it over long off. That is never easy on such deliveries as all the power needs to be generated by the batsman. He fails to do so and Parag there, makes no mistake. 13 runs from the over but a wicket as well. Rajasthan still hanging in there. 175/4
