S Lamichhane to M Singh, DROPPED BY RABADA? Lamichhane delivers it short and around leg, Mandeep goes deep inside the crease and pulls it behind square leg. Rabada in the deep initially looks to go back but then dives forward to attempt for the catch. It appears that he has spilled it. Yes, the replays confirm that. So, a life for Mandeep Singh. A single taken.

S Lamichhane to R Ashwin, FOUR! That's not the length to bowl on his surface. It's on the shorter side and skidding off the surface too, Ashwin hangs on the back foot and smacks it over mid-wicket for a boundary.

A Mishra to M Singh, A better throw from the deep would have made things interesting. A long hop on middle, Singh pulls it down to deep mid-wicket where Rabada makes a tumbling stop. He fires his throw to the keeper but it's quite wide and Mandeep completes the second run safely.

A Mishra to M Singh, Shortish and on middle, Mandeep goes back and punches it through mid-wicket for a run.

21:09 (IST) Apr 20

STRATEGIC BREAK. Interesting. Has that 2-wicket over turned the tide? Punjab were cruising towards 200 but now, even 170 looks difficult from here on. Because of the lack of batsmen. Skipper Ravichandran Ashwin has walked out to the middle. Meanwhile, Amit Mishra is back on. 2-0-27-0 so far.

S Lamichhane to Sam Curran, OUT! Two wickets in the over and Delhi have made a fantastic comeback now. Lamichhane is converting his miserable evening into a superb one. A googly outside off, holding up a bit onto the batsman, Curran is very early into his shot and pushes it back aerially to the bowler. Sandeep makes no mistake and now Punjab are in real trouble.

S Lamichhane to C Gayle, OUT! That is a terrific display of team effort! Lamichhane was gone on the previous ball but Gayle is gone on this one. Sensational from Ingram. The newly become father has done something really special. Short and outside off, Gayle looks to play the pull. This is not cleanly connected though. The ball goes towards deep mid-wicket where Colin Ingram steadies himself under the catch. However, there is more to come. The South African, who recently was on paternity leave, has got himself in the headlines pretty soon on return. He realizes that he is losing balance, so he flicks the ball powerfully behind. Then, he trips over the ropes. Initially, it seems like there is no one to catch it but Axar Patel is standing there, at wide long on, to gleefully accept the gift! Gayle is already walking when the decision is sent upstairs and when OUT flashes on the giant screen, the big man is behind the sightscreen. End of a wonderful knock. Will Delhi bounce back now?

21:02 (IST) Apr 20

Is that a legal catch? Gayle is walking, rather trudging. The umpires still want to check though. The soft signal is OUT.
