Kedar Jadhav begins well after resumption smashing a four right of third man. It is no ball as well and Jadhav smashes it for a six. 

It is a bad third over from Ishant, that costs his team 17 runs including two wides.

However, Perera strikes in the next over, having Irfan (23) caught by Vihari at deep midwicket. Two balls later, he has Morne Morkel (0) caught by Ashish Reddy at third man.

21:14  
Scorecard:

Amit Mishra also helps himself with a wicket, having Manprit Juneja (15) caught by Cameron White at point.

20:03

The big news is Virender Sehwag is back, as reported in rediff.com, and he will open the batting with David Warner. 

It is Dale Steyn for the Hyderabad team. He strikes fourth ball, having Warner (0) caught by Rajan at mid-on. 

Delhi lose a wicket without a runs on board.

"I's looking forward to bat as well," he says.
