R Ashwin to P Shaw, OUT! Gone first ball! Ashwin has removed last match's hero for a zero here! After a lot of confusion though! A flatter arm ball outside off, actually more like a seam up delivery going straight on after landing outside off. Shaw pushes at it lazily and gets a very thin nick on it. Rahul behind the wickets takes the catch, whips the bails off as well and appeals to both umpires. Ashwin is already celebrating as he knew that was a catch! The umpire is waiting and so is the batsman. Lo and behold, the finger then comes up! Prithvi goes and asks his partner for what he was given out so late. He then turns and walks back as he knows he has nicked that one. The Snickometer confirms the same and hence it was a good decision not to take a review. An early strike for Punjab and a much-needed one.

The players are back out in the middle. It will be spin to start off proceedings. Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan are the openers for Delhi. Prithvi to face. Here we go...

167 to win then. If dew sets in, then this is game over for Punjab. Else, on a sluggish deck, this could be a competitive total. Stay tuned...
