Pat Cummins to Karun Nair, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! What a delivery to begin with from the SRH skipper! The crowd erupts at Uppal as DC lose their first wicket in the very first delivery! A proper Test match length from Cummins, hard length, outside off, slightly nipping away from the batter, with a good bit of bounce on it. Karun Nair rises with the bounce to punch into the off side, but plays it a bit lose with no proper footwork, and plays it away from the body. A thick and healthy outside edge is found and Ishan Kishan does the rest behind the wickets. Karun Nair's lean run continues as he departs for a golden duck.

We are all set for this game to begin! It is a sea of orange as usual inside the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium as the two umpires make their way out to the middle. They are followed by the SRH players who stride out and take their places on the field. It will be the duo of Faf du Plessis and Karun Nair to open the innings for DC. SRH skipper, Pat Cummins will take the new ball himself and he is raring to go. Let's play...
