- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 GOT 'IM! He has sent his off-stump cartwheeling! Full length ball, and jags back in from just outside off stump, and Denly stretches to defend, but misses it altogeher. Denly goes for a golden duck, and Uthappa has to walk in virtually as an opener 0/114.2 how unlucky is that? length on the pads, easy pickings he may have thought, timed it nicely as well but aerially and straight to short fine-leg, who was surprised by the pace at which it came at it him but held on comfortably in the end 115/48.4 short, and he looks to hook this away, but gloves it up in the air, and Pant takes this diving away to his left. What a take from the keeper, and a good ball from Rabada to start it all! 63/212.4 Morris nails the yorker to silence the crowd! Rana gave himself room but Morris found the blockhole at pace to knock the stumps over 93/318.2 full toss outside off, Russell slashes and slashes hard but it goes flat and hard straight down third-man's throat. Hard to imagine that such a dismissal could be planned but the Capitals will be too relieved to think about such things 161/615.1 full on the pads and clipped away straight to deep squareleg! It's another lucky break for the Capitals but they won't be complaining. He timed that so well that it comfortably carried to the man 122/519.2 length on middle, slower ball Brathwaite swings but the change in pace means he has to fetch it from well in front of his body, gets no power behind it and it's a simple catch down to deep midwicket 171/7Extras5 (lb 1, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL178/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.9)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Joe Denly, 0.1 ov), 2-63 (Robin Uthappa, 8.4 ov), 3-93 (Nitish Rana, 12.4 ov), 4-115 (Shubman Gill, 14.2 ov), 5-122 (Dinesh Karthik, 15.1 ov), 6-161 (Andre Russell, 18.2 ov), 7-171 (Carlos Brathwaite, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.6 what a catch! Length ball angles in towards Shaw, and he gets the outside edge as Shaw looks to drive this from the crease, and it takes a big edge and flies away towards where first slip would have been. Karthik flies away to his right, and gets it within his mitts. Stupendous work, that should lift Kolkata Knight Riders after an expensive over from Prasidh Krishna! 32/15.4 short, and he flicks this away, and straight to Karthik. Iyer walks! It was down the leg side, and he literally would have taken a bit more bat to run it down to fine leg, possibly for four, but got a fine tickle on to it. Karthik takes his second catch with a good, swift movement to his left 57/217.1 full on middle, Pant goes for another one-handed slog over long-on, doesn't get enough of it and is well taken right at the boundary. Played his role to near perfection, though 162/3Extras3 (lb 1, w 2)TOTAL180/3 (18.5 Overs, RR: 9.55)Fall of wickets: 1-32 (Prithvi Shaw, 2.6 ov), 2-57 (Shreyas Iyer, 5.4 ov), 3-162 (Rishabh Pant, 17.1 ov)
