Jofra Archer will bowl from the other end.

D Kulkarni to S Iyer, Full again on off, Iyer defends it off his front foot.

Shreyas Iyer, the skipper, is the new man in.

D Kulkarni to C Munro, OUT! Gone for all money is Colin Munro. Dhawal Kulkarni strikes in his very first over. Serves this a bit full on the fourth stump line, it nips in a bit after pitching. Munro tries to drive this to the off side but gets stuck in the crease without any foot movement. He manages an inside edge on it and the ball goes towards Buttler who dives to his right and takes a good low catch.

D Kulkarni to P Shaw, Bowls this on the leg side, Shaw flicks it to deep square leg to get off the mark.

D Kulkarni to P Shaw, Pitches this up further around off, Shaw gets low and drives it handsomely but straight to the man at cover-point.

D Kulkarni to P Shaw, Right on the money! Comes from over the wicket and lands it on a good length right in line of the stumps. Shaw gets behind the ball and pushes it to mid off.

We are ready to get the game underway. The players along with the umpires have made their way out in the center. Delhi openers Prithvi Shaw and Colin Munro look up to the night sky and walk out in the middle. Rajasthan are done with their team hurdle and give the new ball to Dhawal Kulkarni. We hope the rain stays away for the course of the night. For now, let's get to the cricket.

Update 2115 local - Yessssssss!!!! So the game will begin at 2130 local time. It will be an 18-overs-a-side game, so just 2 overs lost. This is great to see.

Update 2042 local - Good news prevails finally. The word is in that the inspection will be at 2110 local time. Fingers crossed for more positive news.

Update 2034 local - The rain has lessened out, the super soppers are doing its thing. And the moment all this was going on, there was a BIG FLASH OF LIGHTNING. So, some good and some bad news simultaneously. Let's hope the good takes over.

Update 2007 local - Don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but it is coming down heavier than before now. Remember, last time these two teams faced off, it was a rain-hit affair as well. Only 6 overs were played. Needless to say, we might be in for a long wait.

Oh, dear... we have some sorry news for you! Something that even we do not like to hear but... The covers have come on and covered the 22 yards. It is not raining heavily but there is a slight drizzle. We hope it is just passing showers and play begins soon. My mate here is a Liverpool fan and wants to go home early to watch them get knocked out.

Shreyas Iyer, the Delhi skipper, states that it will be easier to bat in the first innings and reckons that dew won't be coming in during the latter stages of the game. He says that they have learned a lot from the last game and are positive for today. Ends saying that Shahbaz Nadeem comes in for Rahul Tewatia.
