18.3: Anrich Nortje to Hardik Pandya, OUT! TAKEN! Good use of the short ball from Anrich Nortje to Hardik Pandya. Little bit of anti-climax here. HP moves to the off side but is a touch surprised by that. He pulls but manages to get it only as far as Rahane at short mid-wicket. Jinks takes a good, safe catch. But no great worries for Mumbai.

16.2: Anrich Nortje to Rohit Sharma, OUT! TAKEN! That is a brilliant catch. The substitute fielder has plucked a brilliant catch. A slower bouncer, Rohit Sharma looks to pull but he does not seem to have got a control of that. It is uppish and seems to be landing in front of the fielder at deep mid-wicket. But the substitute fielder runs the yards, puts in a dive of a lifetime and takes a fantabulous catch.

19.6: Nathan Coulter-Nile to Shreyas Iyer, OUT! RUN OUT! Mumbai get a wicket on the last ball as well. Kagiso is run out when he was running back to the bowler's end, for the second. Fullish ball around off, Iyer looks to flick but gets a leading edge. It falls safely in front of the man at long off. It is the last ball and hence they try to go for the second, after taking a single. Surya was the man at long off, releases the throw to Coulter-Nile. The bowler collects and whips the bails off at his end, Rabada is miles short. DELHI FINISH ON 156/7.

To the naked eye, he seems to have missed it. It hits his pads and goes to the leg side. Bumrah appeals but the umpire does not concur. He straightaway indicates to his skipper to take a review. And a review is in. In comes Ultra Edge, no spike. What does Ball Tracker have to say? Umpire's call - Not out.

17.2: Trent Boult to Shimron Hetmyer, OUT! CAUGHT! Lovely slower ball from Boult. It may look simple for many of us at home but it was a difficult ball to execute. It was short and outside off, Hetmyer is done in by the lack of pace there. He fails to read it and adjust well. He looked to steer that to third man but ends up hitting it uppishly to Coulter-Nile at short third man. The Aussie squats and takes it with ease.

17.1: Trent Boult to Shreyas Iyer, Short ball, pulled away aerially towards deep mid-wicket. It is just short of Krunal Pandya there, just the single. Iyer would count himself to be lucky there.
