The Punjab Kings players get into a huddle. Now, the umpires walk out again, followed by the Delhi Capitals openers - KL Rahul and Faf du Plessis. That's a good sign for the Capitals. Remember, Faf went off the field in the dying stages of the first innings, due to a finger injury. This suggests that the injury is not that serious. Arshdeep Singh will start off proceedings with the new ball. Punjab Kings announce their impact substitution, with Praveen Dubey replacing Prabhsimran Singh. Josh Inglis will be the man with the gloves. Arshdeep to Rahul then. Here we go!
