    4.4 Picks out long-off to perfection! Nigam has his first IPL wicket on his fourth ball, DC congregate to celebrate. Tossed up around off, he entices the big shot from Markram. It was the googly, Markram went for the loft over long-off but miscued it off the inner half straight to Starc 46/1
    11.4 Picks out long-on. Back of length outside off, it's a slower ball too, and Marsh looks to pull this down the ground. It comes off the toe end and Tristan Stubbs makes no mistake. Finally a breakthrough for Delhi Capitals. A stunning knock against his old team comes to an end 133/2

    14.5 Knocks him over! Did that reverse a touch? It's a 140kph full ball around off that beats Pooran's swing and flattens off stump! Pooran walks back for a 30-ball 75, shaking his head 169/4
    13.4 Pant falls for a six-ball duck on LSG debut! The pressure was building, of course, and Pant goes for the big shot. But it's spinning away so it comes off the toe end and Faf du Plessis doesn't drop those at long-off 161/3

    16.2 Can Badoni take Kuldeep on and clear the ropes? No he can't! Comes down the track as Kuldeep floats this up outside off. Comes off the bottom half of the bat and it only goes to Stubbs at long-on, who holds on with ease 177/5
    16.4 Full outside off, driven to cover. They risk a single and Shardul is turned back by Miller. The throw is quick and Porel is also quick to crash his gloves into the stumps after collecting. Shardul well short! And LSG are crumbling in a heap! 177/6
    18.4 Aaaand Starc has his second! Cramps him for room with a well-directed bouncer, at 141kph to hurry him too. Shahbaz looks to pull but only manages the top edge and Tripurana at backward square leg backtracks and holds on comfortably 194/7
    18.6 Castled! Bishnoi looks to make room and play it on the off side but Starc nails the yorker and middle and off stump are uprooted! Who says Starc only shows up in the knockouts? 194/8

    0.3 Highhh up in the night sky, well-judged take by Badoni! Lord Thakur on the board early, Fraser-McGurk walks back. Length ball outside off, moving away a touch. Despite the presence of long-off, JFM looks to go downtown and gets it high in the air for a long time. No mistake from the fielder in the deep. After going unsold at the auction, Thakur strikes in the opening over after being drafted in as replacement 2/1
    6.4 Bishnoi has his arms aloft, and that only means one thing - DC have lost another. This is in the slot on middle and leg, du Plessis slogs it in the air and does not get the distance. Goes high in the air and Miller has all the time in the world to settle under it and take it 65/5
    0.5 Thakur on a roll, Lord for a reason! Second strike in the opening over and Delhi face a Capital test early in the chase. Angles it away on a length, shapes in just a touch. Porel looks to go over extra cover but miscues it to the right of mid-off, where Pooran runs to and takes a good catch away from his body 2/2
    1.4 Nicked behind and Rizvi is out of here! Superb catch from Pant that. He was moving to his left, stretched both his hands towards the off side - in an attempt to effect the stumping - but managed to take it well. Rizvi went for the drive but only feathered an edge behind. Siddharth, too, strikes in his opening over 7/3
    5.3 Rathi has his way and picks up his maiden IPL wicket! Axar moves across to the off side to hit it over the in-field on the leg side. It is the googly again, so the ball has slightly more distance to cover. Axar does not hit it off the middle and finds Pooran at square leg 50/4

    12.3 What a comeback! On a length on leg, it spins back in as Stubbs misses his flick. Goes off his pad onto the stumps and Siddharth sprints away in celebration. The ball change does the trick for Lucknow! 113/6

    16.1 And Digvesh gets the breakthrough! It's a carrom ball on a length on leg, Nigam was looking to flick it leg side and it gets a top edge. Short fine moves to his right to take it comfortably and an excellent, excellent knock on debut comes to an end. Well played, Vipraj Nigam 168/7
    17.1 High in the air, and Pant settles under it! It's a googly, full outside off and spinning away from Starc who goes for a big swing. Only skies it and Pant claims it immediately as he runs to his left and pouches it 171/8
    18.3 Kuldeep is run out! They take a gamble, and it doesn't pay off. Kuldeep misses this full ball angled across, but they take off to try and steal a run, mostly with the intent of getting Ashutosh on strike. Pant throws, misses the stumps but it goes to Prince Yadav, who is quick to gather, turn and throw down the stumps at the non-striker's end. They managed to cross over so Ashutosh will have strike 192/9
