Mitchell Starc	3	0	43	1	14.33	6	5	2	2	0
2.5 to J Fraser-McGurk, has that been taken cleanly?! Looks like it, and Starc has broken this game open further! In the slot, angling into middle and off. JFM clears his front leg and has a swish at it. Miscues it a little and arrows it flat towards deep square leg. Venkatesh seems to misjudge it initially but then stoops down low on the fence to pick up the catch, inches off the turf. Both DC openers now back in the shed!. 30/2
Vaibhav Arora	4	0	29	2	7.25	15	4	1	2	1
1.3 to PP Shaw, KKR go up in appeal, and they opt for the review! And Shaw is walking off as soon as KKR have done so. Early drama at the Eden Gardens! Full ball, swerving into the pads. On most days, Shaw would have clipped this away into the on side. But this time, he only manages a tickle that Salt gobbles up smartly to his left. Arora has another powerplay wicket against the Capitals!. 17/1 3.3 to SD Hope, cleans him up with an absolute peach! Back of a length delivery that pitches on off and seems destined to come in. Until it doesn't. Nips away against the angle after hitting the seam and Hope is opened up like a deck chair. Tries to fence it away but sees the ball thud into the top of off stump. DC under early strife!. 37/3 See all photos
Harshit Rana	4	0	28	2	7.00	11	3	1	1	0
6.4 to Abishek Porel, stumps all over the place! Goes fuller, and slants this into middle and leg. Porel, feeling the pinch of his strike rate, walks across his stumps and looks for the scoop. Makes a complete hash of it, though, and the ball ends up making a complete mess of his stumps. Leg stump and middle stump have been uprooted, and DC are four down. Rana gives Porel a bit of a send-off too!. 68/4 18.2 to Rasikh Salam, soft dismissal! Excellently-disguised slower ball. Pitches on a full length on off and Rasikh has no clue this is the change-up. Too early into the stroke and reaches out way in front. Pops it straight to Shreyas at mid off, and Rana breaks a 29-run partnership!. 140/9 See all photos
Sunil Narine	4	0	24	1	6.00	9	1	1	0	0
13.3 to AR Patel, the stumps have been lit up, and Axar has to go! Shortish just outside off again. Axar stays back, trying to force it through the off side. The ball seems to nip back in just a shade and that induces an inside edge that clips the middle and off bail. Axar, for a moment, was preparing to run, only to find out that his stumps had been disturbed. DC sink further!. 101/7 See all photos
Varun Chakravarthy	4	0	16	3	4.00	13	1	0	0	0
10.1 to RR Pant, induces the false stroke again, and taken this time! Floated up full just outside off. Pant's eyes light up looking at the extra flight and he tries to smash it into next week. Loses his shape completely and slices it high up. Shreyas settles under it at extra cover, and makes no mistake. KKR keep chipping away; DC keep sliding!. 93/5 12.1 to T Stubbs, edged and gone! Chakravarthy has another! Hung up on a length outside off. Seems to swerve away late and that draws the mistake. Stubbs wafts at it away from his body without any footwork and feathers it through to Salt, who snares a sharp chance!. 99/6 14.3 to K Kushagra, was there an inside edge?! The finger goes up, and Kushagra is happy to walk back! Plenty of revs on this one, and this is a googly that pitches just outside off. Spins back in and Kushagra does not seem to pick it. Jams it off the inside edge into the flap of his front pad. Lobs up and Salt tracks it all the way to complete the catch!. 111/8 See all photos

9.2 to RK Singh, miscued, and taken at third man! Hard length on off. Rinku tries to hack it over cow corner but gets it awfully wrong. Skews it off the top edge and the ball swirls towards third man. Kuldeep gets under it and does the rest. KKR lose their third!. 100/3

6.1 to SP Narine, wicket first ball for Axar! Length ball angled across the batter just outside off. Narine tries to fetch it but does not get the power he is after. Hits it straight to the fielder at deep mid wicket, and Fraser-McGurk does the rest. The first ball of spin this innings yields the first wicket, but is it too late already?. 79/1 8.1 to PD Salt, knocks him over! Axar Patel strikes again! Darted in on a length just outside off. Keeps coming back in with the angle and skids on too. Salt, looking to cut it away, is beaten for pace and his off stump gets flattened soon after. A fantastic tone-setting innings comes to an end!. 96/2 See all photos
