Marcus Stoinis to Madhav Tiwari, SIX, Tiwari did it with the ball and now he's doing it with the bat. This is a length delivery, angled into the arc and Tiwari goes full-throttle with the heave. Not off the middle but enough to clear a leaping Shedge on the rope

Marcus Stoinis to Ashutosh Sharma, 1 run, 126.6ks on a length and around off, Ashutosh stabs it into the off-side and calls for a quick single. Stoinis gets around and has a shy at the bowler's end, hit Ashutosh in the process

Marcus Stoinis to Ashutosh Sharma, SIX, ufff! That's an incredible shot. 130.2s angled in from back of a length, Ashutosh stands inisde the line and laps it over long leg. Just a whip of the wrists and the ball flies over the rope

Marcus Stoinis to Ashutosh Sharma, FOUR, Ashutosh will be the key from hereon. This is another back of a length delivery, not much room on as well but Ashutosh has short-arm jabbed it to wide long-on. He middled it so well that the ball almost went the distance, just bounced inside

Madhav Tiwari, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Ben Dwarshuis to David Miller, out Caught by Prabhsimran Singh!! Six, six and out! This is a massive moment in the game. Miller should have been the one taking Delhi Capitals over the line. But he departs attempting a third six and leaving them needing 41 runs. Back of a length delivery, Miller swings across the line and gets a big top-edge. The ball was up for a long time. So long that Prabhsimran came all the way from behind the stumps and towards short cover to take the catch. It was right next to Dwarshuis but he left it for the man with the gloves. Excellent catch under pressure and that might be a game-clincher. David Miller c Prabhsimran Singh b Ben Dwarshuis 51(28) [4s-3 6s-4]

Ben Dwarshuis to David Miller, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Ben Dwarshuis to David Miller, SIX, another flat six off Miller's bat. All three of his sixes have been flat tonight. Slower short of length delivery, sits up nicely for Miller and he delays his bat swing. He meets the ball on the bounce and slaps it over wide long-off

Ben Dwarshuis [3.0-0-34-0] is back into the attack

Timeout! Well, well.. This is going down to the wire. Axar's knock and his partnership with Miller has ensured the Delhi Capitals are right in the game. Equation - 53 from 24. Iyer having an animated chat with Arshdeep. Not sure what that was about. What are Punjab Kings' options? Arshdeep and Jansen have bowled out. Dwarshuis and Yash have an over each. Who will bowl the other two overs? Ponting having a word with Stoinis. Will it be Stoinis or are they going to risk giving it to Chahal? Dwarshuis to bowl out now..

Marco Jansen to Ashutosh Sharma, FOUR, good effort from Chahal but he can't prevent the boundary. Full and outside off, Ashutosh opens the bat face and slices the loft wide of third man. Chahal moves to his right and dives awkwardly, but the ball beats him to the rope. He has hurt his left shoulder in the process..

Marco Jansen to David Miller, 1 run, 136ks full and at the stumps, Miller whips it to long-on

Marco Jansen to David Miller, SIX, ufff! Another flat six from Miller. Not the first for him today. Short of length delivery, Miller swivels around and hammers the pull behind square. There was a fielder but he could only watch it sail over him..

Marco Jansen to David Miller, no run, 118.6ks off-pace delivery, fraction short and Miller is deceived for lack of pace, gets an under-edge on the cut and the ball rolls back to Prabhsimran

Marcus Stoinis to Axar Patel, out Caught by Ben Dwarshuis!! Stoinis does the job for his team. He breaks the partnership and sends back a well-set Axar. A fine knock from the Delhi Capitals captain. But he would be disappointed that he couldn't take them over the line. This was full and in slot, Axar clears his front leg and swings hard, does not time it and the ball skies towards long-on. Dwarshuis settles under and makes no mistake. Just when they were getting the impetus into the innings, Punjab Kings have struck. Game back in the balance!
