Delhi 145-5 (17 ovs) vs Kolkata | SCORECARD


Billings also cutting loose as he goes down low and sweeps Holder behind square on the leg side for a six. The England right-hander slaps the next ball wristly, in the same style as Steven Smith, through midwicket but gets just one.

Nair lofts the last two balls of the over, straight down the ground, but fails to get much power and gets twos from successive deliveries.

Nair in full flow now as he crashes a full delivery from Yadav over long-off for a six. That superb shot also raises the 100-run stand for the fourth wicket, from just 67 balls with runs coming freely for the hosts in the last few overs.

But Yadav gets revenge with the wicket of Nair, who is trapped leg before wicket after a splendid innings of 68 from 50 balls. That is the third LBW dismissal of the innings and all have been ruled by umpire Marais Erasmus.

That was the slower ball and deceived Nair completely, but was the ball heading down the leg side. A close call that!

New batsman Chris Morris, who played a blinder in the last match, walks out to the middle. But he lasts just two balls as he is bowled by Yadav for a duck.

Carlos Brathwaite gets one on the pads first up which he flicks fine for a four to get off the mark in some style. He steers the next ball on the either side, fine on the off-side to make it successive fours from the first two balls faced.
