9.6 overs (1 Run) Good stop from Hetmyer! Full toss around off, Gill drives it to the right of short extra cover. Hetmyer there dives and saves runs for his side. He parries it away which allows the batters to get at least one.
9.5 overs (2 Runs) Length ball outside off, Gill taps it through point. Ishant Sharma runs to his right from third man and stops it with a syumble. Two taken.
9.4 overs (1 Run) On the pads, Morgan looks to flick but misses. It clips his pad and goes to the leg side for a leg bye.
Who is in next? Skipper Eoin Morgan joins Gill in the middle.
9.3 overs (0 Run) OUT! CAUGHT! Stoinis strikes in his first over and Tripathi's struggle comes to an end. Full and wide outside off, Tripathi looks to slam it over cover-point. He does not get in position to play that shot though. He throws his hands at it and just slices it to the man in the deep. Lalit Yadav is a very good fielder and he was never going to drop those. He accepts a simple catch.
9.2 overs (4 Runs) EDGED AND FOUR! Full and wide outside off, Tripathi swings but gets an outside edge which takes the ball over short third man. No one in the deep there so easy for Tripathi. Much needed boundary for Rahul.
9.1 overs (0 Run) Play and a miss! Tripathi's struggle continues. We saw Dube earlier in the day and Warner struggle and that cost their sides the game. He looks to put pressure on Stoinis straightaway. He comes down the track but misses.
Bowling change! Here's Marcus Stoinis with the ball.
Time-out! This has been a fine start from Kolkata so far. Rana fell cheaply but Gill has continued. He is looking in a good rhythm and would look to up the ante now. Tripathi too is looking in touch. Delhi though have not bowled too badly. They have not given away easy runs. They would look to break this stand as soon as they can. Let's see how things go from here!
8.6 overs (1 Run) Just 7 off the over and Lalit's impressive start to the game continues. The last ball is fuller on leg, Tripathi cannot get a boundary. He takes a single at long on to keep the strike. 15 off 14 for Tripathi. Needs to change gears here.

7.5 overs (0 Run) Flatter on middle, Gill comes down the track and blocks it to the right of the bowler.

5.5 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Gill bags another boundary. That wasn't too far from the mid on fielder there. Rabada threw himself to take the catch but failed to get hand to it. Gill makes roo and Ishant followed him. Gill chips this one. The mid on fielder runs ot his right and throws himself that side to catch but misses. And the ball races away to the fence.
5.4 overs (1 Run) Length ball aroud middle, flicked to the leg side for one.
5.3 overs (1 Run) NOT OUT! Gill is home! Full and around off, he pushes it to mid off and calls for a single. The fielder from mid off scores a direct hit at the non-striker's end. The third umpire has been called for. Replays show Gill is safe.
Direct hit but Gill seems to be in. Let's see what the replays have to say.
