16.6: T Natarajan to Shashank Singh, FOUR! 16 off the 17th over and PBKS are in touching distance now. Wide yorker, around off, Shashank Singh looks to slog this around the leg side but gets an outside edge that takes the ball over Mukesh Kumar at short third for a boundary.

16.2: T Natarajan to Shreyas Iyer, Wide yorker, around leg, Shreyas comes inside the line and looks to work this towards the fine leg region but misses out. The umpire doesn't call it a wide and Iyer asks for a review on that. The replay shows that Iyer has stepped a long way back and across as he looks to play his stroke before missing out. The TV umpire rules that had Iyer been in a normal stance, the ball would have struck his pads. Review lost.

19.5: Arshdeep Singh to KL Rahul, FOUR! 150 FOR KL RAHUL! Only the third player, after Chris Gayle and Brendon McCullum, to reach this feat. And becomes the only Indian in this list to achieve this milestone. Whatever he has touched has turned into gold. And this is the best way to make the most out of getting a couple of lifelines as well. A statement knock from him. Short into the pitch with pace taken off completely, over off. KL Rahul climbs the imaginary ladder and ramps it over the keeper's head for a boundary. Under the scorching Delhi heat, he has produced one of the finest IPL knocks that will be talked for a long, long time.

19.4: Arshdeep Singh to David Miller, Nails the yorker in, on middle, David takes it on the full before it dips below his bat and shovels it down to long on for a single.

1
19.3: Arshdeep Singh to KL Rahul, Bangs it slow and short, outside off. KL Rahul stands tall and controls the pull shot along the ground for a single at deep mid-wicket. 258/2 reads the scorecard - This is now DC's highest-ever total in IPL history.

18.3: Xavier Bartlett to Nitish Rana, OUT! TAKEN SHARPLY! Shreyas with a brilliant catch to halt this 220-run partnership for the second wicket. Xavier changes the angle and comes from around the wicket. Fires in a full toss around leg, but Rana backs away looking for room and tries to lift it over mid off. He does not get enough power behind the shot though and hits it flatly. Shreyas, stationed at mid off, moves to his right, leaps a bit and takes a fine catch with both hands. The Capitals are 248/2 in 18.3 overs.

4
18.2: Xavier Bartlett to Nitish Rana, FOUR! The ball is just finding the fence! Back-of-the-hand slower ball, pitched on a length, outside leg again. Rana has to wait for an eternity for the ball to arrive before he helps it over the keeper's head for a boundary to deep fine leg.

6
18.1: Xavier Bartlett to Nitish Rana, SIX! LAUNCHED! Bartlett sees Nitish shuffling outside leg so he bashes the short ball outside leg, trying to cramp the left hander. But Rana gets the ball at a comfortable height, around the chest and nails the pull shot over deep square leg for a cracking six.
