Hurls it on a length, outside off, Miller reaches for it and cuts it to deep cover for one.

Mitchell Starc to Nicholas Pooran
FOUR! Wow! Improvisation at its very best! Starc misses his grip and fires a full toss outside off. Nicholas Pooran premediates the ball and shuffles across but is surprised by the ball. He adjusts well and reverse ramps it past the keeper to his left and finds the fence at deep third. He challenges the on-field call of a fair delivery. The replays show that Pooran had crouched low and the ball was under his waist height and LSG lose a review.

Mitchell Starc to Nicholas Pooran
Short and over off, Nicholas Pooran pulls it to the right of deep square leg. Mukesh Kumar moves across quickly but the ball bounces in front of him and spins the other way. Mukesh Kumar who overran, does well to stick his left hand back and stop the ball. In the process, he seems to have hurt his ankle.

Mitchell Starc to David Miller
Fuller and on off, David Miller punches it to deep cover for one.

W
Mitchell Starc to Nicholas Pooran
OUT! TIMBER! Mitchell Starc has given Delhi Capitals a big wicket! Steams in from over the wicket and goes fuller and on middle and off, angling it into the batter, Nicholas Pooran looks to hoick it across the line but plays all over it. The ball zips under his bat and shatters the stumps. Nicholas Pooran departs for a well-made 75 (30) and Lucknow Super Giants are now 169/4.

Mitchell Starc to Ayush Badoni
Looks for the yorker and ends up serving a low full toss, on off, Ayush Badoni drives it to long on and picks up a single to get off the mark straightaway.

Axar Patel to Ayush Badoni
Quicker one, sliding it in from outside off, Ayush Badoni hops back and across the off stump, easing it behind point for a single.

Axar Patel to David Miller
Floated up a bit, a bit full and around off, David Miller leans on and works it through mid-wicket for another single.

Axar Patel to Ayush Badoni
Oh, that's too close for comfort! Badoni steps down the pitch and Axar just pulls the length back a touch. Badoni pushes it in front of covers and sets off for the single. Vipraj Nigam throws the ball to the keeper and the bails are whipped off but Miller dives in to safety.

Kuldeep Yadav to David Miller
Lovely delivery but it's pitching outside leg! Kuldeep loops it up and rifts it onto leg and gets the ball to dip. This one turns and spins across the left-hander. David Miller looks to flick but plays all over it and the ball goes off the pads down to short third for a leg bye. There is also a huge shout for LBW which is turned down but Kuldeep is confident and it is sent upstairs. Nothing on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking shows that the ball just pitched outside leg.

W
Kuldeep Yadav to Ayush Badoni
OUT! CAUGHT! A rush of blood from Ayush Badoni and Kuldeep Yadav does get his second wicket. Tossed up again, on a slightly dragged length and around off. Badoni skips down the pitch and swats it lat down to long on ad straight to Tristan Stubbs who takes a comfortable catch. With this being Kuldeep's last over, maybe, Badoni could have just seen him out.

Kuldeep Yadav to Shardul Thakur
Flighted ball, on a length and turning back in from outside off, Shardul Thakur strides across to sweep but fails to get it away.

Kuldeep Yadav to Shardul Thakur
OUT! RUN OUT! Another one bites the dust and LSG going down in a hurry here. Kuldeep Yadav tosses the ball up, full and around off, Shardul Thakur leans on and drives it firmly to covers and starts off for the single. David Miller sends him back but it is too late. Axar Patel throws the ball to the keeper and Abishek Porel whips off the bails in a flash. Replays show that even the dive couldn't save Thakur. LSG now 177 for 6! Also, Shahbaz Ahmed walks out to bat now.

Mohit Sharma to David Miller
NO BALL AND FOUR! Freebies for David Miller and LSG as Mohit Sharma bowls a high full toss outside off. Miller slashes it away over the short third fielder and the ball runs away into the fence. Free Hit loading...

Mohit Sharma to David Miller
A bit slower and into the pitch, in the swinging arc on off, Miller bangs it away on the bounce to deep mid-wicket for only a single and seems disappointed with himself.

Mitchell Starc to Shahbaz Ahmed
OUT! CAUGHT! Top comeback delivery from Mitchell Starc and he picks up his second wicket of the game. Starc brings out the bumper, bowling it at 141.6 clicks and directing it excellently right around the helmet of the batter. Shahbaz Ahmed looks to take it on but is just rushed off the deck and ends up miscuing it up over short 45 on the leg side. Tripurana Vijay there back-pedals a bit and takes a fine catch.

Mitchell Starc to Ravi Bishnoi
Another aggressive delivery from Starc! Around the wicket to the right-hander, banged in short and right at Ravi Bishnoi who ducks under it.

Mitchell Starc to Ravi Bishnoi
OUT! TIMBER! Mitchell Starc doing what he does so well and mopping up the lower order here. Brings out a searing yorker now from around the wicket, honing in at the stumps. Ravi Bishnoi backs away to jam it out but the pace is just too much and the ball shatters into the stumps, knocking a couple of them out of the ground as well. Strac finishes with 3 wickets to his name!

Mohit Sharma to David Miller
WIDE! Another slower ball, this time a bit shorter and wide of the off stump, MIller can't reach it and a wide is called.

Mohit Sharma to David Miller
Banged into the wicket again and over middle, David Miller just makes a bit of room and swats it straight back over the bowler's head without much timing and he picks up a couple of runs.

Mohit Sharma to David Miller
Top bowling this from Mohit! Banged in halfway down the track and darted across the off stump with pace of the ball, Miller reaches out and can only toe-end the ball into the off side.

Mohit Sharma to David Miller
David Miller can hardly lay a bat on the ball right now. Slower one, bowled on a hard length and in the channel, Miller swings across the line but is undone by the complete lack of pace.
19.5

Mohit Sharma to David Miller
SIX! Finally, David Miller gets one away and he gets plenty on it as well. Another slower one, banged in slightly short and around off, MIller stays still this time and swings it over deep mid-wicket for a 92-meter six. 200 up for LSG as well!
19.6

Mohit Sharma to David Miller
SIX! Miller goes bang-bang to end proceedings! Mohit Sharma goes for the slower ball again and lands it a bit short again as well. David Miller is just waiting for it and swings from the hips and swings it all the way over cow corner for another biggie. Lucknow Super Giants finish with 209/8 on the board!
