Delhi 77-2 (10 ovs) vs Punjab | Scorecard

Ashwin, who opened the bowling, comes back into the attack. Gambhir picks a single from the first ball before Vijay Shankar turns the next ball to deep square leg and has to rush back for the second.

Two singles before Shankar is beaten all ends up by the leg-spinner from Ashwin, who is lucky not to have dragged his feet outside the crease.

He drives the last ball which is straight and skids on to mid-on where Ashwin is unable to stop the single.

Gambhir keen to attack Axar but the spinner does well to adjust his length and the left-hander can only turn it on the leg side for one.

Two balls later, he looks to sweep but gets the top edge which goes short fine leg for a four.

Axar has got the wicket of Iyer, but conceded far too many runs, giving away 35 from his three overs, exactly half the runs Delhi have scored in the first nine overs.

Interesting change from Punjab as part-time medium pacer Marcus Stoinis comes into the attack.

Vijay turns the first ball on the leg side for one before Gambhir pulls a slower bouncer to deep midwicket for a single.

Vijay content to play his role, of giving as much strike as possible to Gambhir as he flicks Stoinis to the man in the deep on the leg side.

At the halfway stage, Delhi are 77 for two in 10 overs with Gambhir on 45 from 31 balls and Shankar on 13 from 12 balls.
