Mohit Sharma to Miller, SIX, consecutive sixes to end. Too many slower-balls from Mohit Sharma, may have been the back of the hand slower-ball, dug in around off, Miller waits and pulls high and over mid-wicket, just below the second-tier at deep mid-wicket. Good end to the innings

Mohit Sharma to Miller, SIX, too predictable and this has landed in the second-tier at deep mid-wicket. The line was on the stumps, was a slower-ball off-cutter dug in again, Miller sends this miles over mid-wicket, Miller still not happy as he shakes his head

It's the tossed up googly outside off, full, Thakur gets forward to drive and finds cover, Axar with a powerful throw next to the stumps to Abishek Porel who does the rest.

Kuldeep Yadav to Ayush Badoni, out Caught by Stubbs!! Straight to long-on.

Mitchell Starc to Pooran, out Bowled!! Massive wicket this. That's what Mitchell Starc can do. Stumps are everywhere. Full and some reverse-swing for Starc, bends back in late and Pooran wants a piece of this, slogs but misses and two stumps are splayed. What a sight for the fast bowler. Pooran at the death could have been carnage. Potentially 25-30 runs saved with that wicket. Pooran b Mitchell Starc 75(30) [4s-6 6s-7]

Mitchell Starc to Pooran, FOUR, audacious. It's a fairly high full-toss outside off but under the waist, Pooran initially looked for the scoop, then reverse-scooped it over Abishek Porel who leapt to take it but the pace on that makes it fly over his left glove. They check for a no-ball but it is fine. Pooran's waist height is 0.95m while this ball was measured at 0.89m

Kuldeep Yadav to Pant, out Caught by du Plessis!! The chat did not work. Pant has holed out to long-off. It's tossed up well outside off, makes Pant reach for it, it turns as well after pitching, Pant tries to loft and it's off the bottom of the bat, easy catch for long-off and Faf reverse-cups with ease. Superb over so far and some relief for Delhi. Pant c du Plessis b Kuldeep Yadav 0(6)
