Axar to Shubman Gill, no run

Axar to Shubman Gill, no run, so nearly through Shubman Gill there.

Axar to Sai Sudharsan, 1 run, to long-on

Axar to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, just one delivery from round the wicket and back over the wicket, again down leg, length and Sai Sudharsan pulls, beats the diving short fine-leg to his left

Axar to Sai Sudharsan, no run, pitches outside the leg-stump, Sai Sudharsan glances to short fine-leg and Shubman Gill shouts no, no

Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill are at the crease. Sai Sudharsan is on strike. Axar will open the attack

Welcome back. As expected Sai Sudharsan is the impact sub for GT.

Kevin Pietersen - It's tough sitting and watching the boys, especially in the pressure situation we got into ourselves, we started well, got into a wobble, but the break must've done good for us. KL wanted to bat at the top of the order and he's so good to watch when in full flow. When you can see players of that quality, watch them practice and then watch them put on a show during the match is do good to see, it's just half the job done though, the top-3 have done a superb job (for Gujarat Titans), but we've Mustafizur who joined us this morning, and Nattu as well back from injury. We spoke about getting a solid start, we were poor in that over the last few overs and we then solidified during the middle overs before exploding towards the end, 200 I think is a good target.

21:19 Local Time, 15:49 GMT, 21:19 IST: So a target of 200 and Delhi would be fairly pleased with their effort.

Siraj to Rahul, no run, full, fast and wide outside off. Rahul was backing away and let it passing thinking it was too wide. Ends well inside the lines and that will be a dot ball. Delhi end with 199 runs.

Siraj to Stubbs, 1 run, to mid-wicket

Siraj to Stubbs, SIX, totally Protean power on that one!! A short delivery well outside off, Stubbs fetches it from there and swivel pulls it into the stands beyond deep square leg. This has been a great cameo from Stubbs as well

Siraj to Rahul, 1 run, full and angling onto the pads, clipped towards deep backward square leg. There is a fielder there so just a single

Siraj to Rahul, FOUR, low full toss on on off,

Siraj to Rahul, FOUR, to third man

Gujarat take a review for LBW. This could be an embarassing review, it is nowhwere near the pads, came off the bat!!
