Full commentary

That is all for tonight. Good bye

JP Duminy: "I was not calm on the inside that is for sure. Keep communicating with my partner. You got to target certain bowlers that you fancy yourself to take on. As anyone would know, Narine is not the one you want to take on. Wasn't a plan [to take on Morne]. I was lucky, he is a quality bowler and am sure next time we play he will try to get my head off."

Karthik: "When it is 170, you are always behind the asking rate. Being captain you want to show the boys it can be done. One on the board. Let us take it slow. Good start. Boys are pumped up. We have a solid coach who does not get too excited by these things. JP is key to our batting line-up."

Gambhir: "Once you get 165 on any kind of wicket you feel you are in with a chance with the kind of attack we have. JP played an unbelievable innings. Apparently there was some dew, gets difficult for the spinners when there is some dew."

Came down to that one expensive Morne over, when Delhi were threatening to let it slip away after DK's rather needless dismissal. JP Duminy was the man for the night
