A front foot no ball from Mustafizur and Shaw somehow glances it fine for a FOUR off the free hit delivery. Shaw hits Fizz for TWO MORE FOURS as 20 runs come from it. Delhi posts 62, their highest this season in the PowerPlay.

No change in the attack as Deepak Chahar to bowl his third. Chahar to Warner, SIX! Another slog sweep timed it perfectly from Warner as he hit a 65m six behind square. FOUR! Low full toss outside off and Warner gets the most off it, he drives it through cover. FOUR! This is turning out to be a good over for Delhi as Warner cuts the half-tracker slower ball over points for the third boundary. 18 from this over. 

Tushar Deshpande continues. FOUR! Back of a length, quick but width on offer for Shaw who latches into the ball and just drives it with sheer power over deep point for a boundary. A single in the next delivery before Warner plays three dots. Five from this over. 

Deepak Chahar continues. SIX! Full and onto the middle, and Warner times it perfectly and slog sweeps it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum. Nice little recovery from Chahar, gives just two off the last four deliveries. 

Tushar Deshpande comes into the attack. Good start for him as he gives just three off it. 

Deepak Chahar to start with the new ball. Prithvi Shaw is on strike. Okay, so there was a delay of two minutes. Chahar gets a little swing and Shaw starts with a length ball in the middle. First runs for Shaw this season, this drives the ball towards point for a double. FOUR! Warner plays out a couple of dots before he leans forward and clears the infield with a cover drive.
