OUT! Caught. Rahul Tewatia to Tom Curran. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump down the track driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long on, by Maxwell. What a final over from the leg spinner! Curran this time holes out. He runs down, and mis-hits it down to Maxwell at long on. A stuttering end to a large total from KKR.
Some big runs scored in the IPL over the past few days. Today is no different. Uthappa, Rana, and Russell all clearing the rope on many occassions. It could have been even more if it wasn't for Trent Boult. A very good four overs from him today. Find out if Delhi can chase this down after a short break.
OUT! Caught. Rahul Tewatia to Piyush Chawla. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump down the track Slog, top edge in the air uncontrolled to silly point, by Pant. Another wicket falls. Chawla sprints out the crease, gets nowhere near the pitch, and completely loses his shape. Ballooned straight up off the edge, and the keeper doesn't have to move to swallow up the catch.

OUT! Caught. Rahul Tewatia to Shubman Gill. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, in the air uncontrolled to point, by Morris. Quite a bit of width on offer.

FOUR! Trent Boult to Shubman Gill. Back of a length, down leg side on the back foot pulling, well timed past deep mid wicket for 4 runs. Short arm jab through mid wicket, and the timing is superb! It races off the bat, and splits the deep fielders for four.
OUT! Bowled. Trent Boult to Andre Russell. Yorker, to leg on the front foot flick, missed to. Boult find a way through! A magnificent yorker at the base of leg stump. It cramps Russell for room, and sneaks underneath the bat to send him packing. What a cameo that was.
Trent Boult to Nitish Rana. Half volley, off stump on the front foot flick, leading edge to backward point for 1 run, fielded by Gambhir. Fifty for Rana. Wonderful innings, that has boosted this score up towards 200.
SIX! Mohammed Shami to Andre Russell. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed in the air under control over long off for 6 runs. How has he managed to get that over the rope? Russell bludgeons it over long off. The timing wasn't great, but his power earns him six more.

OUT! Caught & Bowled. Kuldeep Yadav to Trent Boult. Googly half volley, down leg side on the front foot flick, leading edge back to bowler, by Yadav. That finishes things. The googly is flung out, and with Trent Boult looking to clip to leg, it was only going to end in one way. The leading edge is popped back to the bowler, and it is a simple return catch.
A convincing victory. The spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Sunil Narine ripped through the Delhi line up. 200 was always going to be a tough ask when dealing with them. The Daredevils kept up with the rate, but lost wickets far too regularly. KKR up to four points now. Join us tomorrow for more IPL action, when RCB take on Mumbai Indians.

FOUR! Kuldeep Yadav to Mohammed Shami. Chinaman half volley, middle stump on the front foot Slog, top edge in the air uncontrolled past third man for 4 runs. A filthy looking shot from Shami, but he gets fortunate. Edged over first slip's head, and it trickles away for four.

OUT! L.B.W. Verified by umpire after REFERRAL. Sunil Narine to Vijay Shankar. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the back foot working, hit pad to. Two in the over for Narine now. Wonderful bowling yet again. Big spin past the inside edge here, and it pins Shankar right in front. He went right back in the crease, and looked stone dead. Review taken, but all three reds on HawkEye.
Sunil Narine to Mohammed Shami. Carrom ball back of a length, off stump on the back foot working, to leg gully for 1 run, fielded by Karthik.
OUT! Bowled. Sunil Narine to Chris Morris. Off break length ball, outside off stump backing away driving, missed to. First class bowling from Narine. Beautiful flight, gets some dip on the ball, and it loops past the outside edge to crash into off stump. Morris clearly bamboozled. KKR are cruising to victory now.

OUT! Caught. Kuldeep Yadav to Glenn Maxwell. Chinaman short, to leg on the back foot pulling, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket, by Uthappa. Probably the worst ball of the over, but it picks up the crucial wicket! Maxwell's eyes light up, but he snatches at the shot, and hacks it down to deep mid wicket. Uthappa makes no mistake. Tough for Delhi to get home now!
SIX! Kuldeep Yadav to Glenn Maxwell. Chinaman half volley, to leg on the front foot Slog, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. Right out of the screws this time. Kuldeep floats another one up, and Maxwell goes big. Clears the front leg, and heaves it way back into the stands.
SIX! Kuldeep Yadav to Glenn Maxwell. Chinaman half volley, off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled over long on for 6 runs, dropped catch by Mavi. Maxwell gets lucky. Miscues his shot down to long on, and it should be taken on the boundary edge. The young Mavi is down there, but he ends up parrying it over the rope for six. Timed his jump all wrong.

OUT! Caught. Tom Curran to Rahul Tewatia. Half volley, off stump on the front foot driving, to extra cover, by Russell. Poor shot, and a tame end to Tewatia's innings. Leaning back in the drive, he cannot keep it down, and ends up chipping it to Russell at extra cover. The Daredevils losing too many wickets here. All hopes are on Maxwell at this point.
