A massive target to chase for Knight Riders, and Sudarshanan will be back for the reply.

Bilal : "And that's 3 fifties from Pat Cummins in 2 games and might get a chance to score one more"

Sunil: "Although unlikely, it would be interesting to see Narine open today and have a stab at giving KKR's chase a headstart.."

Shaw: "I am fine [after a blow on the head]. Keeping it simple from my side. Just trying to strike. The powerplay was really important for us... It is a good total as well. I love watching Warner bat... Our execution was well. We did pretty well to get 215."

5.25pm Surprising that Sarfaraz wasn't sent by Capitals despite them losing five wickets. Or maybe there was a trick to it; who knows? But Thakur and Axar crack 49 off 20 balls in their stand, and take Capitals to 215 after fifties from Shaw and Warner, and a little burst from Pant.

Cummins to Thakur, SIX, it is six! Just clears the rope at deep midwicket. Another slower ball from Cummins which is on a full length on off. Thakur knew he had to swing no matter the line and length, and the ball seemed just full enough for him to have a heave. That landed beyond the rope in between long-on chasing to his right and deep square leg to his left

Last ball of the innings. Six maybe?

Cummins to Patel, 1 run, pulled away to deep square leg. He makes room early, and Cummins follows by bowling a slower ball on a shrotish length on leg

Cummins to Thakur, FOUR, over mid-off now! That brings up the 200. A slower ball, and full and wide of off. Thakur spots mid-off was inside the circle, and swats that flat and hard. The man there jumped to his right, but didn't get a hand

Yadav to Patel, FOUR, 23 off the over! Who cares if there is no Sarfaraz? This time Umesh goes full and wide of off, and Axar lifts that off the length to play that like a half volley. The ball flies off his bat, and goes with a couple of bounces into the extra cover fence.

19 off the over, with one ball to go. The ball is sanitised before Umesh bowls.

Yadav to Patel, SIX, six for me too, says Axar! Lofts that with high elbows, and waits for the slower ball to come to him. It is there in the arc, and full on middle and off. Axar dumps that over the bowler's head for the third six of the over

Mehul: "What's with Shardul and India's speedsters. First Bumrah, now Yadav"

Yadav to Thakur, no run, good comeback. Sends that yorker a touch wide of off, and Thakur lets that pass

Aashrit: "It would be criminal if DC don't reach 200 from here. No excuses"

18.1

Yadav to Thakur, SIX, what a sound off the bat! That goes 29 rows over deep square leg. A reminder of Thakur's heroics at The Oval last year. On a short of a length on middle and leg, and he waited before pulling that forcefully into the stands. That went 95 meters

200 anyone? We still have 12 balls left.

Cummins to Patel, FOUR, wow, that somehow ended up finding the gap between fine leg and deep square leg! Change of pace on a short of a length on off, and he pulls well with the bounce and the movement away

Cummins to Patel, no run, slower ball, and chipped back towards the non-striker. Cummins chases to his left, and there is a bit of yes-no between the batters, before Axar is sent back by Thakur

Around the wicket to Axar

Cummins to Thakur, 1 run, flayed away on the bounce to deep point. Full and outside off, and bowled with a scrambled seam. Thakur has a heave, but mistimes it

Cummins back. Over the stumps.

Nabil Bhati: "Still no Sarfaraz Khan?" --- Just saw him setting up his blade in the dugout. That's all I can say.

Yadav to Warner, OUT, nabbed at deep midwicket! Warner's party ends. On a scrambled seam on a back of a length on middle and off, as Warner makes room early. He goes for the swish to the on side, but finds Rahane lurking on the boundary, who is content to only give a thumbs-up after taking the catch. Capitals losing their way in the death overs
