Punjab require 109 more and are well on track at the moment.

A Mishra to L Rahul, FOUR! Fifty for Rahul! He gets there in just 14 balls. What an innings this has already been. Charges down the track and smacks this along the turf to beat the man at mid on.

We are back for the chase. The umpires are out in the middle and the Delhi players have taken the field. KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal will open the innings for Punjab. Trent Boult will bowl with the new ball for the visitors. A slip in place.

Overall, Delhi will be happy with their all-round effort. It's now over to their batters to finish the job. First six overs will be the key. Delhi too have quality in their bowling attack and it's not going to be as straightforward as it looks. Second innings will begin in just a bit.

The hosts were good with the ball, especially the debutant Mujeeb Ur Rahman. Skipper Ashwin rotated his bowlers very well. He didn't allow the Delhi batsmen to settle down. Punjab got a couple of wickets in the Powerplay and his spinners bowled the right lines to restrict the Delhi total. They picked up wickets at the right time whenever partnerships started to develop.

166 is what Delhi finish with! Just about par? Well, they will be pleased after the start they got. They lost Munro early. Then skipper, Gambhir, tried to build partnerships with his teammates. Iyer tried to help his captain but then the visitors lost a couple of wickets and started to lose the plot. Gambhir, however, held one end and got to his fifty and Pant played a nice cameo to set the platform for the big hitters. Morris then ensured that Delhi end it decently.

M Sharma to D Christian, OUT! TIMBER! Excellent delivery to finish by Mohit Sharma. Full and in the blockhole. Not a lot Christian could have done with that, he tries to muscle it through the off side but misses to see the ball hit the off pole. So a wicket off the last ball but 11 from the over. DELHI FINISH ON 166 FOR 7!

M Sharma to C Morris, Four! No, wait, the umpire by mistake signals it a boundary but it is three runs. Sharma goes full this time on middle. Morris flicks it through the leg side. Once again it is in the gap between deep square leg and deep mid-wicket. Tye runs to his right from the latter position, slides and pushes it with his legs. Stoinis who comes running in from deep square leg does the mopping up job. The umpire goes upstairs to check and it is fine. But the umpire signals a boundary and then corrects himself. Three runs added to the total.

M Sharma to C Morris, FOUR! Just bounced inside! Much-needed one for Delhi! Mohit bangs it halfway down once again. It is also slow and it sits up to be hit. Morris waits for it, selects his spot and then pulls it in the gap between long on and deep mid-wicket for a boundary.

M Sharma to C Morris, So no boundaries from the first three balls. Punjab will be happy with that. A very full ball on middle, Morris jams it out towards mid-wicket. They run one and then take on Tye for the second and make it.
