- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.3 Mukesh gets the in-form Rickelton! Mukesh again goes for a length ball around off that just jags away slightly. Like the last ball, Rickelton has a wild swing looking to go downtown, but the ball hits the outside half of the bat and chips up to the Capitals skipper at mid-off 18/19.3 slapped to cover and Nitish Rana hangs on to a hard chance! Axar's good record against Rohit Sharma continues. This is on a length and spinning away. Rohit hit it really well, and really hard, but Rana times his jump well and makes a difficult chance look simple. MI lose their third 71/32.5 Chipped back to the bowler, Mukesh grabs it even as he slips. And he has two in the over! Mukesh tells Ngidi he can bowl a neat slower ball as well. 114kph, full around off. Tilak was early into the shot as the ball stops on him. Pings the bat and bounces back towards Mukesh, who grabs it despite a bit of a wobble. 18/215.3 Umpire takes his time and gives it out. Given out lbw, SKY reviews. He was square-on. Back foot in the crease, front just on it. So, height may not be an issue even though he's hit on the right thigh. Was a back-of-length ball that landed just outside off, SKY went for the pull. Got beaten by the pace and lack of bounce. Impact - off stump, once that came up, SKY walked as he knew it'd be hitting the wickets. 122ks but it didn't look like a slower one on first view. 122/511.5 Very close to the ropes, but Mukesh takes it! He was running to the right from deep square leg, took a high catch, held on as he decelerated and hugged Kuldeep running in from the other side. Vipraj pitched up the topspinner and Rutherford went for the slog sweep. Got a decent chunk too 85/418.4 Bouncer is pulled straight to deep midwicket. It's been bouncers or yorkers this over, this was a slow one that was straight. Dhir waited on it and pulled from shoulder-height. Didn't lose his shape, just didn't connect well enough 146/6Extras5 (lb 1, w 4)TOTAL162/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.1)Fall of wickets: 1-18 (Ryan Rickelton, 2.3 ov), 2-18 (Tilak Varma, 2.5 ov), 3-71 (Rohit Sharma, 9.3 ov), 4-85 (Sherfane Rutherford, 11.5 ov), 5-122 (Suryakumar Yadav, 15.3 ov), 6-146 (Naman Dhir, 18.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.4 Oh, has he got something on it? KL has been strangled down the leg side! Chahar fires this full and going down leg. Rahul tries to glance it fine and gets a thin inside edge on it. Rickelton pounces on it, diving to his left. Horror dismissal for him! 2/19.5 Oh, he's skied that and Markande runs a long way to grab it! This is a huge moment in the game. This is dragged down a little and Nissanka looks to swivel and pull but ends up with a top edge that balloons up behind him. Markande runs across from short fine leg and grabs it. Big, big blow for DC 73/31.4 Is there anything Bumrah can't do? He nails a direct hit now and Rana has to go! Rana taps this full ball in front on the leg side and is a bit slow to start off on the run. He doesn't really go full speed and is caught short at the non-striker's end as Bumrah is quick to collect, turn and hit the target 7/216.2 Rizvi show ends and he falls looking for a six. Gets a handshake from Miller and a couple of MI players too. Was a 133ks slot ball canting into middle and leg. Rizvi bent his back leg just a bit too much and drove hard. Got it a too low, he knew he'd mistimed it right away. Long-off takes it. Been a hell of a knock though 151/4Extras5 (lb 1, w 4)TOTAL164/4 (18.1 Overs, RR: 9.02)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (KL Rahul, 0.4 ov), 2-7 (Nitish Rana, 1.4 ov), 3-73 (Pathum Nissanka, 9.5 ov), 4-151 (Sameer Rizvi, 16.2 ov)
