Terrific work from Powell in the deep! Full and on middle.

Absolutely superb work from Rovman Powell! There is a run out appeal as well but Chahar is in.

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Dhawan was struggling here to play his shot. Thakur serves short of a length and around middle, it was well directed and Shikhar Dhawan was cramped as he tries to ramp it away. The ball was too close to playing that shot and it takes a faint edge before meeting the mitts of Rishabh Pant. Delhi will be very happy with how the Powerplay has gone. Punjab are 54/3 at the end of the sixth over.

Ohh... Both batters were stranded at one end but Lalit Yadav needed to show more composure there. A fuller delivery on middle. Shikhar Dhawan pushes it left of the bowler. Lalit Yadav runs to left and dives to stop it. In the meanwhile, Shikhar Dhawan is almost down to the other end as he looks for a single. However, Bhanuka Rajapaksa is not interested in the single and the both the batters are near the bowler's end. Lalit Yadav though stops the ball and throws it way off the target and in the end the batters take a single.

NOT OUT! Huge appeal from Delhi players and especially from Pant! The umpire though is not interested and they go for a review! The replays roll in and the UltraEdge shows no bat involved. Ball Tracking shows that it is umpire's call on wicket's hitting. So the original decision stays and Shikhar Dhawan will continue. This is a flatter delivery angling into middle. Shikhar Dhawan looks to clip it but misses. The ball hits his pads and Delhi take review after the umpire is not interested in the LBW appeal. However, Shikhar Dhawan is safe in the end.

OUT! CAUGHT! What a start this is for Punjab! First delivery and the dangerous David Warner is gone! Livingstone floats this one, outside off, it bounces a bit as well. Warner tries to drive it but gets a thick outside edge and Rahul Chahar at point takes the simplest of catches. An electric start to an electric game. Actually, it was Sarfaraz Khan who was all set to take the strike but Warner decided at the last moment that he will take the strike and pays a heavy price here. Punjab are not complaining here though and the smiles on their faces show how big a wicket this is!
