Shardul Thakur to Jitesh Sharma
Terrific work from Powell in the deep! Full and on middle. Sharma hammers it to long on where Powell runs to his left, times his jump perfectly and as his momentum was taking him back, flicks the ball inside the ground and saves a six. Absolutely superb work from Rovman Powell! There is a run out appeal as well but Chahar is in.

Shardul Thakur to Jitesh Sharma
OUT! TAKEN! Excellent stuff from David Warner! A knuckle ball, full and outside off. Sharma tries to clear long off but fails to get much height on it. David Warner runs forward, dives and plucks it out of the ground. Superb work from Warner and as Jitesh Sharma walks back, it should be the game for Delhi.

Shardul Thakur to Kagiso Rabada
OUT! TAKEN! A length ball, outside off. Rabada again swings his bat but it goes off the higher part of the bat and Rovman Powell takes a simple one at long off. This is a big wicket as Kagiso Rabada has the ability to clear the fence but it looks quite difficult from Punjab from hereon.
