Varun Chakravarthy has dismissed David Warner as LBW at the latter's individual score of 57 off 41 balls. Warner missed the reverse-sweep and the ball hit him right in front of the stumps. He also took a review, which eventually got wasted.
Delhi Capitals need 41 more to win off the remaining 48 balls. They need to score slightly over 5 runs per over. Their first win of the season seems only a matter of time.

Andre Russell is still there at one end for KKR. Can he take them to a fighting total? Here comes Kuldeep Yadav for the 19th over. Interesting battle this is going to be!
Anrich Nortje claimed the wicket of Umesh Yadav on the fourth ball of his third over. It was the second wicket for the right-arm pacer. Andre Russell remains KKR's only hope now for a respectable total.
Here is the first one from the bat of Andre Russell. It was a short ball from Mitchell Marsh and Russell pulled it wide of long-on for a six. It was a good over for KKR as Jason Roy also hit a four on it later.
