A Patel to S Iyer, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Axar strikes and this should make him feel better. He had been taken to the cleaners previously and now gets a timely wicket. Tosses this one up outside off, it turns away after pitching. Iyer goes for a booming drive through the line but the ball takes the outside edge and goes into the gloves off Rahul who takes a sharp catch. Iyer walks back cheaply and just when a partnership was starting to build for Delhi, it has been broken.

Ur Rahman to S Iyer, Shreyas is safe! Umpire's call, Punjab do not lose a review. Mujeeb fires it on middle, this one turns back in. Iyer goes back to keep it out but is late to bring his bat down. The ball hits him a little high on the pads. The players make a huge appeal but the umpire shakes his head. After a chat with his teammates, Ashwin decides to review. They take it upstairs.

Review time! It is all happening out there. There is an appeal for an LBW against Iyer. The umpire shakes his head. But Ashwin wants it to be taken upstairs. Looks high though.

A Patel to G Gambhir, SIX! Maybe it was not the right idea to get the left-arm spinner when Gambhir is batting. 14 from the last three balls he has faced. Axar tosses this one up. Gambhir goes straight this time. The connection is excellent as it has gone all the way over long off.

Ur Rahman to C Munro, OUT! First wicket for Mujeeb Ur Rahman in the Indian T20 League and it is the big one of Colin Munro. Everybody knows how dangerous he can be. Big blow for Delhi. Munro finally loses his patience and goes for the fancy reverse sweep. He, however, picked the wrong ball as it is very full and on the stumps. Munro misses to get hit on the pads and that is that. The players appeal and the umpire straightaway raises his finger. Munro starts walking back as he knows he is a dead duck. The Punjab players are pumped up as they have an early wicket.
