Delhi Capitals draw the first blood in the form of in-form Virat Kohli, who departs after scoring 19 off 13 balls.

End of over 2, 21 without loss, steady start continues. A couple of quiet balls to begin, but Kohli breaks the lull with a crisp boundary. Salt rotates strike nicely, and despite a wide, the bowler pulls things back well. Good recovery after the first over, but the openers remain in control.

End of the first over and it’s a flying start, 13 without loss! A wide to begin, but then both batters get going with crisp strokes.
