The two DC batters doing well not to take any chances against LSG's premier spinner Rathi.
They are happy to pick three runs from the spinner's third over.
DC have slowed down after the Powerplay, having not hit a boundary for the last 30 balls.
Markram, who struck a wicket in his first over, is back into the attack. Porel steps out to chip the first ball over the covers for two runs before he plays the reverse sweep as the ball seems to have gone off the top edge for a four fine on the off-side.
Porel collects a single through the off-side and Rahul clips the fourth ball off his pads in the gap at square leg for two runs followed by a single.
Porel takes one off the last ball as 11 come from the over to take DC to 80/1 in 10 overs at the halfway mark.
