- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR14.4 sweep, and a big top-edge to backward square! Roy's grind is done... he didn't have much chance for fluency with wickets tumbling around him, but that's the wrong moment to fall. Had to take it on, but Kuldeep's extra bounce does him in 93/71.6 spooned to square leg! A bit of a nothing shot from Litton, who swung through the short ball, but was never in control with the ball outside his eyeline. A simple top-edge looped to Yadav with no power whatsoever, and Delhi have their incision 15/13.3 edged to slip! It's Test match cricket at the Feroz Shah Kotla! Hits the pitch hard, climbing into a hard-handed drive, a fat edge, and a sharp take at a solitary wide slip from Marsh. Iyer makes a duck, and now KKR are under pressure 25/25.2 climbs through the line and holes out to mid-on! No connection whatsoever on his launch down the ground, high on the bat and spooned to Mukesh, running back at the edge of the circle. Another wicket lost in the powerplay, and the pressure is now well and truly on 32/38.2 reverses the hands, makes a horlicks of the attempted ramp, loses his middle stump! Mandeep's innings ends in ignominy and KKR are sinking in a rush 50/410.2 flipped off the toes, and straight to deep square leg! Axar's accuracy demands he try something a little funky to keep things moving, but once again, that overspin prevents Rinku from maintaining control of the stroke. It flew fast but straight to a well-placed fielder, and now KKR are properly in the soup without a ladle 64/511.2 picks out deep midwicket! Narine comes crashing down too, as Sharma drags his length back, tempts the pull, but again finds enough flick through his wrist to confound those attacking intentions. Warner is inside the rope to pocket the chance, and well, it's time for Russell the Muscle now... KKR have no other options! 70/614.5 Roy is pinned lbw first-ball! It's been reviewed, but this looked mighty adjacent. And if so, this might be the biggest self-own in Impact Sub history... sure enough, it's clipping the top of the bails and off he goes! 93/815.4 flapped back to the bowler! Short and sharp, into the body, Yadav steps back in a self-preservatory pull, it comes off the stickers and loops into space. Nortje thunders through in his followthrough, and clings on well 96/919.6 swatted off the good length as Mukesh lets slip the slower ball. They set off for the second, as well they might, but Varun gets sent back. 127/10Extras12 (lb 1, w 11)TOTAL127 all out (20 Overs, RR: 6.35)Did not bat: K KhejroliyaFall of wickets: 1-15 (Litton Das, 1.6 ov), 2-25 (Venkatesh Iyer, 3.3 ov), 3-32 (Nitish Rana, 5.2 ov), 4-50 (Mandeep Singh, 8.2 ov), 5-64 (Rinku Singh, 10.2 ov), 6-70 (Sunil Narine, 11.2 ov), 7-93 (Jason Roy, 14.4 ov), 8-93 (Anukul Roy, 14.5 ov), 9-96 (Umesh Yadav, 15.4 ov), 10-127 (Varun Chakravarthy, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.1 confident appeal for leg before, and given! Warner looked plumb, and he walks back immediately, even as he reviews. The ball hit his front boot as he got down to reverse sweep, as it was flicked full, and was dipping while being angled towards the leg side. It hit him right on the base of the boot, and replays show the ball would have hit leg stump 93/44.3 chops on! The angle from around the wicket coming into play. He flicked one from back of the hand, and on a good length around off. The ball angled away a bit, and didn't bounce as per Shaw's liking. The ball has gripped here this evening, and Shaw's attempted cut ended in a bottom edge on to off stump 38/17.2 taken at long-off! Good catch by sub fielder Wiese, who almost lost balance on the boundary after overrunning to his right. The length was perhaps barely a bit too full on off for Marsh to try and belt that down the ground. In the end he did hit hard and flat, only for among the taller of the fielders to gobble it above his head 62/28.1 gifted back to the bowler! A simple catch to his left for Anukul, as Salt chipped back a full delivery going on with the arm on off, and on a full length. Looked like the ball held on to the pitch for once there, with the slowness coming into play 67/315.5 lofted to long-on! Is there some late twist yet? The ball was tossed up, and full, going on with the angle from around the wicket. It ended around middle and off, and he ended up chipping to right into the fielder's lap 110/516.2 gone, great delivery! The ball straightened after pitching on a length on off stump. Rana flicked that ball from the front of the hand, with Aman pushing forward at it from middle stump. Perhaps he thought it would turn in, which it didn't. Still some hope for KKR? 111/6Extras7 (lb 2, nb 2, w 3)TOTAL128/6 (19.2 Overs, RR: 6.62)Fall of wickets: 1-38 (Prithvi Shaw, 4.3 ov), 2-62 (Mitchell Marsh, 7.2 ov), 3-67 (Phil Salt, 8.1 ov), 4-93 (David Warner, 13.1 ov), 5-110 (Manish Pandey, 15.5 ov), 6-111 (Aman Khan, 16.2 ov)
