Abdul Samad to Sameer Rizvi, B0$, B1$ Rizvi finishes it off with a biggie. Samad was brought on to roll his arm over as the game was done. He gifts a rank long hop and Rizvi accepts it happily - rocks back and hammers the pull into the deep mid-wicket stand

This is the highest partnership for DC against LSG for any wicket.

Mohsin Khan to Sameer Rizvi, B0$, this is powerful shot. Mohsin for some reason has gone short in this over. He was so good bowling that back of a length in his first three overs. This was a change of pace as well, so sits up for Rizvi to have a crack, he middles the pull and sends it sailing over the deep square leg fence

B0$ This partnership has not only brought Delhi Capitals back into the contest but has put them in a commanding position. Rizvi and Stubbs have complemented each other nicely. The asking rate is exactly 6 rpo and they should get it quite comfortably. Rishabh Pant needs to bowl out his pacers and try to break this stand.

Aiden Markram to Sameer Rizvi, no run, fuller and drifting across, Rizvi prods forward and eases it to cover

Aiden Markram to Sameer Rizvi, B0$, B1$ This has been a top knock. Came in as an impact sub, team in trouble and he struggled early on. But held his calm and played himself in, now is racing along nicely. He raises his bat and has a big smile on his face. Short and sliding across, Rizvi cuts it behind square on the off-side and there's no stopping that

There's going to be a change of ball. You can do that in the second innings once 10 overs are completed. Will the replacement ball break this stand? Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant has a quick word with Markram.
