9:21pm So, the Capitals huff and puff their way past 150, largely thanks to Kuldeep's unbeaten 34 at the end. And given they were 111-8 at one stage, having seen almost all of their batters fail to come to the party, they will be pleased with how many they have to play with.

That said, this score, at this juncture, does not seem enough. That was down to KKR sticking to their plans and bowling accurately. The ball was stopping and gripping just a little, and KKR's spinners made the most of it. Chakravarthy was arguably the standout, bagging three wickets, while Narine was his usual dependable self. Rana and Arora also chipped in with a couple of wickets apiece. Starc was probably the anomaly but his early wicket of Fraser-McGurk set in motion what was to follow.

There is no question who the happier side will be at the break. Crazier things, though, have happened in this sport, and DC, especially with Kuldeep in their bowling attack, will feel they can still make a fist out of this. Join us in a bit for the run-chase!

Vaibhav Arora: (On doing well against DC) Nothing like that, I have played two matches against them, and it has gone well for me. (On the ball that dismissed Shai Hope) I was trying to bowl the out-swing, that is a different type of delivery that I bowl. It landed on the perfect length. I like bowling with the new ball, and I can get the ball to swing both ways. That is my strength. (On the score) Last few matches were very high-scoring. The pitch is a little slow and the new ball swung. We have restricted them to a good score and I feel this should be a chaseable score.

Som: "KKR gave off, at least 10-15 more than they should have. Lets see if it comes back to bite them. "

Mukund: "Is this the hard-fought thriller we were all waiting for? Bored of all those six hitting frenzy."

Russell to Kuldeep Yadav, FOUR, Kuldeep finishes with a boundary! Slower delivery dug into the track on middle and leg. Kuldeep continues swinging like a rusty gate and gets a top edge that evades the keeper and bobbles into the fence!
