    8.6 skewed up, and taken! Tiwari with his maiden IPL wicket, and he has sent back the set batter! Fullish in the channel and this seems to move away with the angle. Arya looks to go inside-out and to be fair, it is there to be hit. Slices across it a little too much, though, and Parakh accepts the offering with glee at deep point. Arya walks back after an initially tone-setting knock, and DC keep chipping away! 97/2
    6.5 shanked to deep backward square leg, and Prabhsimran's troubles come to an end! Shortish and tucking up the batter on middle and leg. Prabh looks for the pick-up pull but has no room to work with. Miscues it and Nabi, diving forward on the fence, does the rest. DC on the board, finally, and it is just reward for the squeeze they have applied! 78/1

    17.4 an attempted tennis forehand, and it leads to Connolly's downfall! Slower bumper outside off and this takes an eternity to arrive. Connolly plays three strokes in his head before making contact with his fourth and actual attempt, which is something resembling a top-spin forehand in tennis. Does not get enough distance on it and Miller does the rest at deep mid wicket! 180/3
    18.1 slapped straight to extra cover, and Stoinis has to go! Shortish outside off and this seems to just hold in the surface. Stoinis looks to go over the fielder but does not muster the elevation he wants. Tame chip to Tiwari in the end, and Starc, too, has a wicket now! 187/4
    18.2 two wickets in two balls, and Starc, all of a sudden, is on a hat-trick now! Full outside off. Shashank plants his front foot and swings through the line. Slices it, though, and Axar completes the catch at mid off with minimal fuss. PBKS losing their way a little in this over! 187/5

    2.3 goes straight up, and Jansen snares the chance! Hard length on middle and leg, and this stands up a touch. Rahul looks to swivel and help it on its way but the ball skews off the top edge. Prabhsimran runs back, as does Jansen, but Jansen calls loudly enough in the end to overtake Prabhsiram and take the catch diving low to his left. Top grab, and DC in trouble early! 14/2
    1.5 middle stump out of the ground, and the change in angle has worked a charm! Slanted in on a length in the channel, bowled at 143.kph. Jags back in with the angle and Porel, looking to drive on the up, is all at sea. Misses it completely and sees his middle stump in a mess soon after. First over this season for Yash but he has not missed a beat! 10/1
    4.3 cramped for room, and Parakh is outta here! Banged in short and this seems to be a riposte to the batter advancing. Angling into leg stump too, meaning Parakh is tucked up completely. Tries to dab it away but cannot keep it down. Arrows it to short third, where Chahal lunges forward and gobbles it up, despite a slight bobble. DC three down inside five overs! 33/3
    8.2 huge mix-up, and Stubbs has been run-out! Axar distraught, and the Punjab Kings are delighted! Back of a length on middle and off. Axar seems to jam it off the inside edge, with the ball then rolling towards Connolly at backward point. Stubbs hares down, only to be sent back by his skipper, who, by the way, did not move a muscle. Connolly's throw is right on point and Stubbs, despite a dive, is caught well short. PBKS with a timely breakthrough! 74/4
    13.6 clothed off the toe-end, and Stoinis breaks through! Slower ball on a full length on off. Axar's eyes light up but he is too early into his swing. Right off the bottom part of the bat and Dwarshuis, settling under it at long on, makes no mistake. Big, big moment in the game! 138/5
    16.3 oh my - this has gone so far up. Comes down with rain on it, and Prabhsimran lunges forward to snaffle it up! Hard length just outside off. Miller opens up his stance and swipes across the line. Gets a massive leading edge and the ball swirls for an eternity. Prabhsimran calls early, runs forward and then dives to complete the catch in the short extra cover region. Miller is livid with himself, but this is a massive moment in the game! 170/6
    18.5 in the air, in the air, and taken! And this game turns yet again! This is banged half-way down and wide outside off. Ashutosh tries to fight the line this time rather than using it, and pays the price. Tries to fetch it and skies his swat. Dubey, on as a sub, runs to his right from long on and snares it. Ashutosh not happy with himself. His cameo has put DC on the verge of a win, but someone else will have to take them past the finish line! 205/7
