He made some room for the length delivery, wanted to smash it down the ground and mistimed iit for a high catch as Southee came under it comfortably 93/216.3 Yuvi gets a top edge and Karun Nair takes a spectacular running catch at deep backward square leg to get the big wicket! He pulled the short ball, got a top edge and it went pretty high.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.1 it's a googly, it's a wicket! Jinxy charged down, the length ball turned in sharply from outside off as he looked to slog and missed it completely. Ball clips the leg stump 130/54.6 straight to Yuvi at deep midwicket, he didn't have to move an inch! Pressure building with only two from the over so far, Samson plays a cross-bat slog to the length delivery and finds Yuvraj 37/17.2 oh he's got a wicket off the second ball, it was a googly! Pitched it up just outside off, Smith came down again and looks like he didn't pick that one, lofted it down the ground and found long on 50/29.6 the googly does it again, he's stumped! Already 10 runs from the over, Nair charged again for the widish delivery and missed it completely as it came in. Easy work for Jadhav 74/310.4 it's that one again - the googly! Pitched on length outside off and turning in sharply, Binny hardly moves his feet and was trapped right in front of middle and leg, that was plumb 78/418.1 Hooda's holed out, Tahir gets him with a long hop! It was short and flat, Hooda smashed it to the leg side and found Mathews at long on. The big wicket has come for Delhi 166/618.5 one more for the googly, one more for Tahir. He's running all the way to Antarctica while celebrating! Faulkner didn't pick that one as it pitched on length, came in and struck the leg stump as Faulkner swept 173/7Extras6 (lb 1, w 5)TOTAL186/7 (20 Overs, RR: 9.3)Fall of wickets: 1-37 (Sanju Samson, 4.6 ov), 2-50 (Steven Smith, 7.2 ov), 3-74 (Karun Nair, 9.6 ov), 4-78 (Stuart Binny, 10.4 ov), 5-130 (Ajinkya Rahane, 15.1 ov), 6-166 (Deepak Hooda, 18.1 ov), 7-173 (James Faulkner, 18.5 ov)
