2.3 to J Fraser-McGurk, a golf swing, but taken! Jaiswal, at extra cover, moves a few steps to his left, and takes it in front of his stomach. JFM hardly got any timing there, as Archer bowled on a short of a length on middle and off. His front leg was out of the way, and he seemed to have been by the pace and bounce as much as his own lack of technique, with his head facing down the ground.. 34/1 12.4 to KL Rahul, Holes out to deep midwicket! It's a back of length delivery, not short enough to pull maybe, but Rahul has to pull the trigger. Tries to hammer it on the leg side but gets no elevation on it. It goes flat to Hetmyer, who grabs it just inches above the ground! Royals continue to impose themselves on this ground and Archer gets Rahul for the first time in the IPL!. That was a legcutter from Archer. 97/3

16.6 to AR Patel, Holes out this time! Invaluable cameo comes to an end. It's another full toss and he looks to go down the ground but he hits it too flat and Jurel grabs it running in from long-on. Axar punches his helmet, while it's still on, as he walks out, but he's really injected some much needed momentum into this innings. 146/5
Wanindu Hasaranga	4	0	38	1	9.50	7	3	2	0	0
13.5 to Abishek Porel, Porel falls the next ball he faces after getting that life! It's one that's going on with the angle and Porel looks to go down the ground. Ends up hitting it off the toe end and Parag takes a few steps in from long-off and pouches it!. 105/4 See all photos

17.4 to N Rana, Starc nails the yorker and up goes the finger! That tailed back into Rana. 144kph toe-crusher! Rana isn't bothering with the review. He had a whip across the line but misses. Classic Starc!. 161/3 See all photos

8.1 to R Parag, Bowled him! It is Axar's first wicket of the season, and it is a fine delivery too. He angled it in from around the wicket, and bowled pretty slow and on a length on middle and off. The ball straightened after pitching, as Parag looked to push forward from off. But the ball went through to strike the stumps after beating his outside edge. 76/1
Kuldeep Yadav	4	0	33	1	8.25	7	2	2	0	0
13.2 to YBK Jaiswal, That man Kuldeep Yadav delivers again! Floated full on leg, Jaiswal gives charge and can't get the requisite power behind that. Simple catch at long-on and Delhi Capitals are right back in it! Kuldeep brings out a celebration on his tiptoes, can't quite say what he was going for there, but he's got a big wicket for his team. And with the pressure building over the last three overs, you could see one of the batters looking to go big!. 112/2 See all photos
