8.3 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Fired in on middle stump and Pant just doesn't stop. Right after the stumping scare, he thumps this one down the ground for a boundary.
Strategic Time-Out! Delhi need 66 more in 67 balls and this game should be theirs if they bat smartly from this point forward, as they have already lost 3 wickets. Shikhar Dhawan is still out in the middle and he will want to stay out there until the end. Chennai will be looking to keep taking regular wickets and push Delhi on the back foot. Ripal Patel is the new batter in.
8.3 overs (1 Run) WIDE! Rishabh Pant survives for now. Jadeja sees Pant stepping out again and fires it in outside leg stump. Dhoni collects the ball and whips off the bails in a flash. Pant is quick to get his bat back in the crease and the replay confirms the same. Just the wide in the end.

8.1 overs (1 Run) On middle and worked towards cover-point for a run.
Is Rishabh Pant a goner? That was quick work behind the stumps from MS Dhoni to whip the bails off. The bat has been grounded before the bails come off and so, Pant is safe.

Change in bowling. Spin from both ends as Moeen Ali is handed the ball.
6.3 overs (0 Run) This one is fired in around leg stump. Pant doesn't move his feet and looks to tuck it away. He misses and the ball flicks the pads. A huge appeal but turned down.

At the end of the Powerplay, Delhi are 51/2!
Change. Ravindra Jadeja is into the attack!
5.5 overs (0 Run) 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.
DRS time! Is that caught behind? MS Dhoni certainly thinks so as he takes the review. No spike on UltraEdge as the ball passes the bat. Will be not out and Chennai lose their review.
5.4 overs (1 Run) Good-length ball, on off again and Dhawan guides it to third man for a run.
Who will walk out now? It is Rishabh Pant!
