S Nadeem to V Kohli, OUT! Terrible mix-up in the middle and that signals the end for Quinton de Kock. Kohli dabs it towards point and calls for the run. De Kock responds, but then there's a hesitation. Both batsmen stop and go, but Kohli gets to the other end. Seeing this, de Kock crosses to the other side and sacrifices his wicket. Delhi rejoice, they have another one in the bag.
S Nadeem to V Kohli, EDGED AND FOUR! That's gone right through. How lucky is Virat Kohli? The frustration on Maxwell's face says it all. Spinning away from around off, Kohli fishes for it and edges it. Right through the keeper and first slip for a boundary.

G Maxwell to M Vohra, OUT! Vohra is gone! Delhi have their first wicket. Superb effort from Jason Roy out in the deep. Tossed up on off, Vohra goes low to sweep but gets a top edge over square leg. It flies in the deep where Roy moves inside to his right. Dives low and takes it in his hands. The visitors celebrate, but the umpire just checks for the clean catch. Replays confirm it is and the opener walks back now. Not a fruitful debut for Manan.
Delhi could have an early breakthrough. Could be just what they need. Looks out to the naked eye...

T Boult to M Vohra, Huge cry from Trent Boult for an lbw. Huge cry. But the umpire remains unmoved. Full delivery swinging in on leg, catches Manan Vohra on the pads as he looks to flick it away. Big appeal goes up, but nothing from the umpire. Delhi rightly don't take the review, it was going down leg.
T Boult to de Kock, Pushes this just wide of mid on and rushes to the other end to complete a single.
T Boult to de Kock, Kicking off the deck a bit, on a length on middle, beats the edge and catches de Kock on the thigh pad.

We are back for the run chase. It will surely be an interesting one with the batting line-up Bangalore possess. The wicket is slightly unpredictable, but eases out later. So, early wickets will be key for Delhi. Quinton de Kock and Manan Vohra stride out to the middle, Trent Boult has the new ball in his hand. A slip in place for him. Let's rock and roll...
Bangalore bowled well for the most part, but the last 5 overs were where they let it slip again. Conceded 71 runs in that period for the loss of just 2 wickets. Some poor captaincy from Virat Kohli again? His best bowler of the evening did not finish his full quota of overs. Doesn't excuse the performance of his others men, but in this format, one over can make all the difference. The second half is going to be an exciting one for sure now. You don't want to miss it. Stay tuned...
Delhi were in trouble, but a sensational knock from Rishabh Pant has really given the away side a fighting chance here. The tourists lost both their openers early, but a fifty-stand between Iyer and Pant shored things up. Then the former and Maxwell departed in quick succession, and Delhi were 105/4, but the Pant show followed after that. Not sure what came over him, but the southpaw let it loose and took the attack to the Bangalore bowlers. His 85 saw Delhi crossing the 170-mark and be in a position to put up a fight at the very least.
C Anderson to R Tewatia, Dot ball to end the over. But 11 runs have come off it. The visitors will take it. Wide yorker outside off, Tewatia can't make any connection on it. DELHI END ON 174/5!
C Anderson to R Tewatia, FOUR! Pant is no more, but the runs keep coming. Rahul Tewatia taking a leaf out of Pant's book. Full outside off, he moves across, gets really low and then scoops it over Umesh Yadav at short fine leg for a boundary.
Chris Morris will have to bat next.
