Angkrish Raghuvanshi: "When I went in to bat, I just watched the ball - that's it! With the amount of practice, I just backed myself. [Watching Narine is] box-office stuff, it is so much fun. Did you the SRH match? It was clearly not enough. Job is not done yet. We didn't see much of spin, but our spinners are great. So let's see where this goes."

Mohit: "A decent 50-over score :P" --- That's exactly what T20 has become...

Tanuj: "Thanks DC bowlers. SRH fan here!!!"

9.30pm Until the beginning of the last over, KKR were entirely on track to edge past SRH's record 277. Ishant conceded just eight, and killed all of KKR fans' hopes. But even putting 272 remains just about as big as climbing the Mount Everest. Narine (85 off 39 balls), Raghuvanshi (54 from 27), Russell (41 off 19) and Rinku (25 in eight) all had fun before the party was spoiled in the final over. DC will dream of getting close to this, so expect fireworks from the word go. Sreshth will be with you for this massive run chase.

Sharma to VR Iyer, 1 run, a full toss which is low and angling across to end just outside off. Swung off the inside half of the bat to midwicket

Sharma to VR Iyer, FOUR, belted over the bowler's head! He sits deep in the crease, and goes lofting at this length ball angling across and finishing around sixth stump

Sharma to Starc, 1 run, a yorker-length ball on the stumps, and driven to long-off's left

Starc in. He can hit a few!

Sharma to Ramandeep Singh, OUT, nabbed at extra cover! DC are striking late to check KKR. A slower ball this time from Ishant, who went short and pretty wide of off. Ramandeep went swatting far away from his body at what was a tenth-stump ball, but ended up getting the toe end of the bat to Shaw's left for a simple catch

Ramandeep Singh c Shaw b Sharma 2 (2m 2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 100.00

Sharma to Ramandeep Singh, 2 runs, scooped towards midwicket, and again I couldn't get how it went there. I thought there were two noises, the other off the helmet. Yup, the physio does come out. It was a full toss by Ishant wide of off, with Ramandeep getting across to scoop behind

Sharma to Russell, OUT, wow, superb ball! An inswinging yorker at 144kph floors Russell - literally! It lands on the base of middle and leg, as Russell looks to jam his bat down with a horizontal bat, but is late. It is too quick for him, and he ends up on his stomach on the pitch

AD Russell b Sharma 41 (43m 19b 4x4 3x6) SR: 215.78

Ishant to Russell. KKR 14 away from the record.

Nortje to Singh, OUT, ahh, taken at mid-on! But what a typical Rinku innings: an impact cameo at the death to demoralise the opposition. Nortje went for a dipping yorker around fifth stump, as Rinku almost squatted to try and chip that back. But he couldn't it away this time, as Warner took it over his head

RK Singh c Warner b Nortje 26 (12m 8b 1x4 3x6) SR: 325.00

Nortje to Singh, FOUR, bam! Between extra cover and deep point! Short of a length - at a change of pace - just outside off, but Rinku is ready and waiting before swatting in the gap

Nortje to Singh, SIX, blown away! That lands 59 rows back over long-off! He reaches out for this fullish ball, which is wide of off, and sends it flaying mercilessly with a horizontal bat

Ashu: "RK - Ruthless Singh!"
