9:22pm The on-air experts think KKR should have got about 220-225. It was a strange kind of innings from KKR. They started in fifth gear. Somehow lost their way in the middle against spin. And then could only score 36 in the last four. Given how they had started, safe to say KKR are quite short. The surface looks good for more and should behave better under lights. A reminder - DC have won just one out of three matches in Delhi this season. That one win was also via a Super Over. Do they have it in them to chase 205? Find out shortly with Ekanth

Angkrish Raghuvanshi: "Just about par. Very good wicket to bat. We have to bowl well. Our bowlers are good, so we will pull it off. Not much grip on the surface. Hopefully our spinners can extract something. Two of our spinners are world class. That will hopefully give Anukul the confidence. Never batted at No. 4 in my life, just figuring it out. Having fun and trying to win games for my time. [Those sixes] They were instinctive, didn't plan for them."

Starc to Harshit Rana, OUT, It is a hat-trick but for KKR! Hold on, Starc reckons there's an outside edge and DC review. It is full and just outside off, Rana swings hard at it but seems to have missed it. Russell wants to take the bye and sprints to the other end. Porel meanwhile takes aim, shoots and hits the stumps at his end, Russell has to keep running back to the dugout

Starc to Roy, OUT, THE FLYING CHAMEERA HAS PULLED OFF A SCREAMERRRRRRR! The catch of IPL 2025? Perhaps! Full and on the pad, Roy flicks it nonchalantly over square leg. Looks to be destined to go for a maximum but deep backward square leg charges to his left and flings himself towards the ball and hangs on

Starc to Powell, OUT, Pinned in front, given out lbw! Starc strikes but now Powell wants to review. He was almost starting to walk off. Full and straight on middle and leg from around the stumps, he was deep in th ecrease and misses the tuck, clearly beaten for pace. Three reds and Powell has to continue his trudge back

Starc to Russell, 1 leg bye, Angles it down leg from around the stumps, 144.5kph, he misses. Porel has to leap to his left but he cannot prevent the bye. Starc thinks it brushed Russell's pad and has a chat with du Plessis. DC review again, and the ball indeed flicked his pad
