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. Delhi take a wide review for that delivery, but just a formality.

Rashid Khan to Abishek Porel, wide, A loud shout for caught behind, umpire Adrian Holdstock shakes his head and calls it as a wide, but Buttler is interested and they're reviewing. The ball is close teb bat, but there's nothing on UltraEdge. A flat line and they've lost a review. Not sure what sound they did hear, but both the keeper and the bowler went up straightaway. Was a dragdown by Rashid and Porel was shaping for the pull
