| 1.4 : 1.4: Avesh Khan to Faf du Plessis, OUT! LBW! Great start for Delhi! And Avesh Khan has provided the first wicket! Good length ball, lands outside off and nips back in. Faf du Plessis looks to push it through the off side but is hit on the pads. The umpire raises his finger as this looked plumb. Faf du Plessis, after a bit of thinking, decides not to review it. What a ball from Avesh Khan and he sends Faf du Plessis for a duck. The Ball Tracker comes on and it shows that it would have been umpi |

Gaikwad looks to push it through the off side but the movement is enough to take the outside edge toward first slip. Shikhar Dhawan dives to his right to take a good low catch. Delhi are off to a very good start. Chennai in need of a partnership. |
| 2.6 : 2.6: Chris Woakes to Suresh Raina, FOUR! Just short of covers! Short and wide outside off. Raina goes for it but doesn't middle it. It drops in front of the man at covers and then runs to the fence. Boundary of the last ball but still an excellent over for Delhi. |

| 8.3 : 8.3: Ravichandran Ashwin to Moeen Ali, OUT! TAKEN! Great catch by Shikhar Dhawan and a solid-looking Moeen Ali is back in the hut! A poor shot by Moeen Ali really, this is a flatter ball and he pre-mediates the reverse sweep. Ends up getting the top edge and the ball would have landed safe behind short third man.

| 8.6 : 8.6: Ravichandran Ashwin to Suresh Raina, SIX! There is no stopping that one though! Ashwin drops his length a touch shorter this time, Raina hangs back and then smokes it over the fence at wide long on. A very eventful over, 18 runs and a wicket from it. |

Jadeja bumps into Avesh Khan and has to send Raina back but it is too late as Woakes throws the ball to Rishabh Pant and he does the rest. A very unfortunate end to a very good innings. |
| 15.3 : 15.3: Avesh Khan to MS Dhoni, OUT! TIMBER! Dhoni goes for a duck! Delhi are coming back strongly here! They send back the big fish! Good length ball around off, Dhoni looks to slog it away but gets an inside edge onto the stumps. Not what Chennai wanted at this stage but Delhi won't mind. |

| 19.6 : 19.6: Chris Woakes to Sam Curran, OUT! BOWLED! Yes, he can! Woakes gets Sam Curran at the last ball! Full ball, on off. Sam Curran rightly goes for the slog but misses. The ball doesn't miss though, and it spoils the furniture. Good comeback by Woakes after getting dispatched to the boundary of the first ball. CHENNAI END ON 188 FOR 7. |
