OUT! What is happening here at the Arun Jaitley Stadium? Bhuvneshwar Kumar is producing a dream spell. A good length delivery outside off, perfect seam position, shaping away late. Axar Patel pushes forward to defend but only gets a thin bottom edge. Jitesh Sharma takes a sharp catch and bursts into celebration after missing a review just moments earlier. Delhi Capitals are in complete disarray now.

DC: 7/5 in (2.4) overs

OUT! Another one down. Bhuvneshwar Kumar angles in a lovely outswinger just outside off. Tristan Stubbs pokes at it away from the body and gets a thick edge straight to Devdutt Padikkal at first slip. Delhi Capitals are completely under pressure after a shocking top-order collapse inside the powerplay.

DC: 7/4 in (2.1) overs

OUT! Another one goes down. Josh Hazlewood is on a hat-trick now. He keeps it on a good length around off, shaping away just enough. Sameer Rizvi looks to drive away from the body but only manages a thin edge. Jitesh Sharma takes it cleanly behind the stumps.

DC: 2/3 in (1.2) overs

OUT! Delhi Capitals in early trouble. Josh Hazlewood gets a wicket with his very first delivery. It is back of a length outside off and KL Rahul looks to pull but is rushed. The ball takes a top edge and goes straight up, Jitesh Sharma settles under it and takes a simple catch.

DC: 2/2 in (1.1) overs

OUT! A dream start for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Bhuvneshwar Kumar nails a perfect inswinging yorker on middle and Sahil Parakh is completely beaten. The ball crashes into the stumps as he departs for a duck on debut.

DC: 0/1 in (0.2) overs
