Kagiso Rabada to Glenn Maxwell, OUT! CAUGHT! Maxwell throws it away! A stunning running catch from Pant. Is there any twist in this game? A good length ball outside off, Maxwell looks to launch it out of the ground over the leg side. However, he fails to time it and it goes high in the air towards backward square leg. Pant who has returned in this game after nusring his hamstring injury covers a lot of ground and takes a fine tumbling catch. Surely a needless stroke from the Aussie.

Daniel Sams to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! Pressure released, if there ever was any! Full and wide outside off, Maxwell drills it to the left of the mid off fielder. No chance for him to stop that. Fine way to end the over. 28 needed in 6 overs.

Kagiso Rabada to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! Important boundary! A length ball around middle, Maxwell moves a touch to the off side and flicks it powerfully. The fielder at fine leg tries to catch with a dive to his right but it is beyond his reach. 35 needed in 7 overs.

Kagiso Rabada to Nicholas Pooran, OUT! CAUGHT! Classic seamer's wicket here. A superb bowling change from Iyer. The game is now coming back in Delhi's favour. Shortish ball just outside off, Pooran watches and seeing the short length, looks to sway away from the line. He does everything right except to pull back his hands in time. The ball takes the glove and goes to Rishabh Pant, the keeper, who takes it with ease. They appeal for a caught behind and it is given. A very soft dismissal to say the least.

Kagiso Rabada to Nicholas Pooran, EDGED AND FOUR! Does not matter at this stage for Punjab though. Pooran gets to his 50, his second in the League. He needs to continue though, there is a long way to go for Punjab in the chase still. Outside off on a good length, Pooran slashes hard at it. It comes off a thick outside edge and goes to the left of Pant. Rishabh Pant dives in that direction but it goes past him to the third man fence.

Axar Patel to Nicholas Pooran, SIX! That is a big one. Floated around off, Pooran picks it up and sends it soaring miles over deep square leg. A huge one it was.

Tushar Deshpande to Nicholas Pooran, FOUR! Back-to-back boundaries. Short ball, Pooran pulls it towards deep mid-wicket. It does not race away, Prithvi Shaw at deep square leg comes running to his right, dives and gets under the ball but fails to cut it off. A boundary results.

Tushar Deshpande to Nicholas Pooran, EDGY FOUR! Good length ball around off, Pooran looked to play that on the off side but gets an inside edge. It goes past the leg pole and to the right of Pant. The keeper dives in that direction but fails to take it. It was a tough chance. The ball goes through to the fine leg boundary.

Ravichandran Ashwin to Nicholas Pooran, OUT! RUN OUT! Agarwal is hopping too. Moment of madness from Punjab here. 2nd wicket in the over. Agarwal is livid with Pooran. Tossed up and around off, Pooran pushes it to the right of the bowler. He takes off for the run. However, Agarwal is ball-watching and hesitates for a moment. Pooran keeps running. Agarwal eventually gives up and responds and goes for the run but it is too late as Ashwin quickly gets to the ball and fires the throw towards the keeper. Pant takes the bails off in a flash and Agarwal is short. His bat got stuck in the crease and he fell during his attempt to make it to the crease. He is wobbling as he goes to the pavilion. After that expensive over, Delhi needed something to cover things up and well, they have got a couple of wickets in very quick time.

Ravichandran Ashwin to Chris Gayle, OUT! TIMBER! Wow! Universe Boss is out of here! Ashwin had a wood over Gayle in the past and that continues here. The carnage has been cut short by Ashwin. Top class stuff from Ashwin. A loopy ball around middle, dipping in. Gayle sits down and looks to slog sweep but he misses. The ball thumps the middle stump.

Tushar Deshpande to Chris Gayle, SIX! SLAMMED! 24 from the over! Universe Boss telling everyone what they have been missing! Tushar continues banging it short, this time he takes the pace off. Gayle goes back and thumps it over long on for a biggie!

Tushar Deshpande to Chris Gayle, FOUR! Another one that rolls the fence. Another short ball outside off, Gayle looks to launch it over the off side again but this time he ends up slicing it over cover-point. Two fielders give it a chase but the ball wins the race.

Axar Patel to KL Rahul, OUT! CAUGHT! Strikes on the next ball. Not sure if that stroke was needed though. Axar has been brilliant this season with the ball and he once again proves his mettle here. He spots that Rahul is giving him the charge, he slows the ball down. His previous ball was nearly 100 kph but not this one. Rahul eventually fails to get to the pitch and ends up mistiming it straight to the mid on fielder. Sams there takes it easily. A rare failure for Rahul in this season of the tournament.

Axar Patel to KL Rahul, FOUR! Brilliant shot! Fullish and outside off, Rahul stays back and slams it through backward point and it races away to the fence.

Daniel Sams to KL Rahul, SIX! BOOM! And Rahul makes him pay for the mistake. A full ball, slower one. Rahul launches it over the bowler's head for a biggie. It went high, way high but long as well.
