OUT! RUN OUT! Uh, oh! A complete lack of communication and Tristan Stubbs has thrown his wicket away but that's great composure from Cameron Green. Bowled back of a length again and around the body, Axar Patel looks to block off the front foot but gets an inside edge onto the body and the ball falls back on the deck. Axar is busy looking for the ball meanwhile his partner is at the batter's end. Stubbs tries to scurry back but Green picks up the ball and scores a direct hit at the bowler's end and that could just be game over for Delhi. Also, Rasikh Dar is the new batter in.

Strategic break! Wow, those first 7 overs of the chase were action-packed and at the break, Bengaluru are certainly ahead in this game. They have managed to pick up four big wickets and have left Delhi reeling here. However, Shai Hope and stand-in skipper Axar Patel have started to counter-attack and if they can lay down a decent platform, there's still Tristan Stubbs to come and he can definitely turn the game on its head. Let's see how the middle phase pans out.

There was a slight halt at the end of the previous over. Dinesh Karthik has gone off the field for an unknown reason and Anuj Rawat has come on as a substitute wicket-keeper for now. Hopefully, it is not a fitness issue for DK.

Tristan Stubbs is the new man in.

Strategic break. Bengaluru have a firm grip in this run chase now. They just continued to grow in this innings and made sure they never really allow Delhi batters to settle in. Apart from Axar Patel, no other batter has been really able to express themselves out there in the middle. Also, Kuldeep Yadav walks in to bat now.

Mukesh Kumar is the new man in.

Ishant Sharma is the last man in for Delhi.

Right then, we now head into the final week of the group stage of the 2024 Indian T20 League and still, there's just one team that has qualified for the playoffs and that is Kolkata. With three spots still up for grabs and multiple teams in the mix, the final week is expected to be one of the most intriguing ones ever in the history of the competition. The new week kickstarts with a game between Kolkata, the only qualified team and Gujarat up in Ahmedabad. That game will be played on Monday, 13 May and will begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT) but you can join us a lot sooner for the build-up. Till then, take care and goodbye!

Swapnil Singh to Jake Fraser-McGurk
SIX! Did we expect any other way for Jake Fraser-McGurk to hit his first ball? Absolutely, not! Swapnil Singh switches to around the stumps for the right-hander and goes full and outside off. Jake just goes after it and hammers it over long off for a biggie.

Swapnil Singh to David Warner
OUT! CAUGHT! Swapnil Singh has done it again upfront for Bengaluru and that is a massive wicket. Singh bowls it full and quick and gets it to drift from leg stump to outside off, David Warner gets under the ball and looks to slog it towards deep mid-wicket but gets it a lot straighter. Will Jacks settles himself at wide long on and takes a good catch around his face. Warner departs early on his return and Delhi lose a wicket in the first over.

Swapnil Singh to Jake Fraser-McGurk
Beautifully bowled! Flights this one up, giving it a lot more air and bowls it outside off stump. This one grips and turns away sharply, Jake Fraser-McGurk looks to sit down and swat it across the line but is beaten by a mile. End of an entertaining first over of the chase.
