arjwiz (Delhi Diamond Cutters) vs @kushari (Punjab Warriors) official Ranji match begins!
Harsha: And a test match comes back to Mumbai after a long time. Sehwag calls heads. And arjwiz finally loses a toss. Punjab elect to bat first. I have the one and only Ravi Shastri with me. And Goeffrey next to him.
Shastri: Paaji Sidhu coming to bat!
----------
Oh a rolling ball out, first ball. This is very unfortunate and not fun at all. Hopefully this doesn't continue, otherwise they may restart the game.
----------
Sidhu at the crease with arjwiz's nemesis, Y Singh.

Ajmal comes on and gets Shakib bowled first ball off a viscous off-spinner.
----------
Boycott: He just played the wrong line. There was nothing loopy about that one.
----------
Pietersen comes up and is bowled first ball! Ajmal with a flighted, full-pitched delivery from around the wicket. What a great match so far!
----------
Angelo Matthews hits that down the ground for a single.
----------
And a slow ball gets the big wicket of Sidhu, bowled! But wait, the ball just continues as if nothing happened. This makes up for the rolling ball out, perhaps.
----------
Chawla comes on to bowl a top spinner, and gets Matthews LBW! Great comeback for Chawla, who was dropped by DDC for their previous game.
----------
Wait a minute, PW have chosen to appeal. That looked out, but let's have a look shall we?
Pitched in line. Hit in line. Hitting middle and leg well below the bails. Plumb.
Sanju Samson, who has a great batting average in this tournament so far, comes to the crease.
----------
33/5 in 7
----------
6 singles down the ground to Ajmal.
Samson coming down the ground to Chawla, expecting a slow ball, but it's a quicker one that gets him bowled!
----------
W Saha caught behind first ball! Chawla on a hattrick. The spinners are working their magic, here!
----------
Well PW have appealed this. DDC are surprised, but they use the time for a quick beer break.
----------
Steyn sees out the hattrick ball.
----------
Ajmal with a quicker full ball and gets the big wicket of Sidhu, out LBW!
----------
..for 21(28). PW now 41/8
----------
Steyn bowled off a top spinner!
----------
And we come back from the save break, and we see the first boundary off the match, just wide off long on, with a valiant dive.
----------
Chawla takes revenge, bowled! But he continues, another bowled not given out!
----------
But that one doesn't go wrong. Bowled! 9 down.
----------
That's three bowled not given out for DDC. One rolling ball and one unfortunate run out given out for PW.
----------
Balaji hits a boundary off his first ball!
----------
Oh, dropped by the keeper. Ajmal misses out on revenge for that boundary.
----------
Quicker one from Chawla. Balaji is LBW! PW all out!
----------
DDC batting first. Oh what a blunder! Sehwag run out first ball, diving before he needed to. Unfortunate run out. Where was the concentration?

----------
Shakib opening the bowling at the other end.
