WICKET: Rishabh Pant tried to finish early and gets out! Kuldeep gets first wicket of this season!

Shaw is just 19 runs away from registering his first IPL hundred!

The rebuilding phase has just begun and one will have to say that a lot depends on how Pant and Shreyas Iyer play here! After 14 overs, it's 132/2.

50-run partnership between Shreyas Iyer and Prithvi Shaw!

Onto it and.. way she goes! That's Delhi Capitals' skipper for you! SIX!

Kuldeep Yadav is back into the attack. Interestingly, he hasn't been able to pick wicket this season! Will he break the jinx today? 

50 up for Delhi Capitals!

The powerplay has been evenly matched. Shikhar departed early, but even then the team came back strongly. After 6 overs, it's 45/1.

Kolkata Knight Riders 185/8 in 20 overs (Andre Russell 62, Harshal Patel 2/40)

WICKET: Run out on the last ball. Even then, KKR finish on a high. A good score to defend.

50-run partnership between Andre Russell and Dinesh Karthik. 

100 up for Kolkata Knight Riders! 

That's a moment in the game! Russell on the ground! Will he be able to play further?

Finally, 50 up for Kolkata Knight Riders.

WICKET: Second wicket for Harshal Patel. Wickets tumbling for KKR here. 

WICKET: This is Rishabh Pant's wicket. Is there anything, he can't do? Flies to his left and plucks this one with his left glove. Another failure for Lynn!

WICKET: Robbie was looking good but will have to depart. Tried to flick the ball onto the on side but couldn't. Struck right in front!

Harshal Patel comes into the attack now. For KKR to do well, Lynn and Robbie need to stick to the wicket and play decently here. After 5.3 overs, it's 31/1.

WICKET: Struck right in front and Nikhil departs! He was never there, to be honest! 

Both sides lost their review in less than 4 overs!

7 off 15 balls for Nikhil! Feeling the pressure? 

Excellent over by Sandeep Lamichhane, just one off the over! After 2 overs, it's 13/0.
