OUT! BOWLED'EM! Zeeshan Ansari is turning out to be the only bright spot for SRH! He bowls this a bit flatter and quicker, full and around leg, turns away a bit. KL Rahul goes down across to sweep it away, but maybe he goes a bit too far across. He plays all over the ball as it goes around his legs, deflects off the pads to rattle the stumps.

Zeeshan Ansari to Faf du Plessis
OUT! CAUGHT! Wiaan Mulder grabs an excellent catch while running forward! End of a good inning from Faf du Plessis and Zeeshan Ansari picks up his maiden IPL wicket! Ansari gives a flight to the ball and pitches it up, around middle and leg, Faf du Plessis takes a step forward and looks to take it on. He looks to flick it over the mid-wicket fielder but gets a leading edge. The ball skews up high and goes towards wide long on. Wiaan Mulder keeps his eyes on the ball and runs in to his right from long on. He makes a slide forward and takes it with both hands. End of a fine 50 (27) from Faf du Plessis and Delhi Capitals are 81/1.

OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Zeeshan Ansari has the last laugh. He tosses up a googly around off and Fraser-McGurk looks to defend it with a straight bat. But he goes too hard at the ball and ends up chipping a simple return catch to the bowler! So despite going for 15 runs in the over, Ansari has two wickets in the over! Jake Fraser-McGurk departs for 38 (32) and Delhi Capitals slip from 81/0 to 96/2. They need another 68 from 60 balls.

Harshal Patel to Jake Fraser-McGurk
Good effort again. Short, outside off, Jake slaps it through point but Nitish Kumar Reddy does really well to charge across to his left and put in another full-length dive to stop the boundary. Two runs taken. Seems like Reddy is eveready and everywhere and the others just need to rub the energy off him on themselves.

After 5 overs, DC are 48/0. At the same stage, SRH were 50/4. Even though Hyderabad had more runs, that self-destructive Powerplay did them in. Harshal Patel has been given the ball, way earlier than he or Cummins would have liked.

Pat Cummins swings himself around to the other end. 1-0-13-0 from the previous end.

STRATEGIC TIMEOUT. All too one-sided? Sadly, that is how it seems like. With 98 needed from 13 overs and all 10 wickets intact, DC look to be in cruise mode, despite their batting form in question. Whatever happened in their batting, SRH need to focus on the present. Their bowlers have not begun well and their fielders are not supporting them either. However, there is still something in this pitch which could be tricky for new customers. So if Hyderabad can get a few wickets quickly, you never know, the tables might still turn. Here's a look at the newbie - Zeeshan Ansari. Bowls wrist spin.
