Is that a run out? Kolkata Knight Riders are very confident. Oh dear, a mixup, DC did not need at the moment. KL Rahul falls short of his crease by a few inches and DC lose another one.

Anukul Roy to Faf du Plessis, OUT! RUN OUT! Oh, dear! A total miscommunication in the running and KL Rahul pays the price for it.

A slight mix-up between the batters to cross over, and Sunil Narine scores a direct hit at the batting end. KL Rahul has to drag his bat full stretch to get home. He looks confident that he has made his ground, but the side-on replays show otherwise. Just a game of margins it is and KL Rahul is found centimeters out of the crease. A big, big blow for DC this!

Is that LBW? Vaibhav Arora pleads in front of the umpire with the appeal, but it is not entertained. KKR go up for a review. But hang on, Karun Nair, by the looks of it, has already started to make his way back to the dugout. He stops midway and awaits the Ball Tracking verdict as there's no bat involved. And he is found trapped in front. Plumb LBW. OUT!

Vaibhav Arora to Karun Nair, OUT! LBW! Exceptional use of a review, and Vaibhav Arora strikes gold from the other end! He nails the yorker, on middle and leg this time. Karun Nair leans across and looks to flick but misses and gets beaten on the inside edge to be wrapped on the front pad. There is a huge appeal but the umpire turns it down. KKR decide to send it upstairs. The UltrEdge shows no spike and the Ball Tracking shows all three reds. The onfield call is asked to be overturned to OUT. KKR retain the review and Delhi Capitals lose their second for 43 runs. 

Vaibhav Arora to Karun Nair, FOUR! Wow, that's a fine shot and rightly placed! Vaibhav Arora misses the yorker and serves a low full toss, on middle and leg, Karun Nair takes out his front leg and wrists it through mid-wicket for a boundary.
