END OF OVER:

3:58pm Jimmy Neesham is opening the bowling. To Gaikwad with a fly slip.

Vinod: "Some uncanny MOM's in last few games like Sandeep Sharma, Ishan Kishan. I hope Hooda joins the list today *wink*"

Bala: "Although this total is more than what one had expected few overs ago, this is a sign of pitch has eased. Expect CSK to chase it easily and dash the Punjab hopes."

3:44pm Hooda has struck at more than 200 on a day no one in his vicinity on the scorecard has managed run-a-ball through a difficult middle-overs phase. Gauged the conditions perfectly, exploited the long side of the field with his running, and picked his spots with clarity for the sixes. It's a knock that has seriously rescued a floundering innings. But 153 is a total CSK won't be too intimidated by. They've bowled superbly barring the slog overs, and done a splendid job after leaking in the powerplay. Can they seal a trademark CSK win in their last match of the season? KXIP will bring their all to make sure this isn't their last match of the season. This could be a gripping chase. See you shortly.

Ngidi to Hooda, 1 run, thick inside edge to midwicket. Sets up outside off again, it's a full toss again, but he miscues the slog
19.5
6
Ngidi to Hooda, SIX, swung away over square leg. A bit predictable here from CSK and Ngidi. He's already camping well outside off for that line. Ngidi misses on his full slower ball. It hits up at knee height for him and he sends it far back
19.4
1b
Ngidi to Jordan, 1 bye, beaten on the slog. Full dipping slower ball outside off, looks to go leg side and that's past him. They run through. Dhoni misses the stumps with his throw. Ngidi picks it up and flicks onto the stumps at the other end, but third umpire confirms Jordan was in
19.3
1
Ngidi to Hooda, 1 run, full slower ball outside off, driven to sweeper's right and can't pinch the second
19.2
4
Ngidi to Hooda, FOUR, carved to long-off's left. Full and just outside off. Shuffled a long way and waited for it outside off and then opened the face to pick his spot with the drive

Only the sixth time in 50 IPL innings that Hooda has batted more than 20 balls. That's because of his batting positions, for the most part. His first fifty since the one in his second IPL game, all the way back in 2015

Ngidi to Jordan, 1 run, length and wide outside off, lofted out towards sweeper cover

Thakur to Jordan, no run, slower short ball just outside off, inside on the pull, onto boot and it rolls back to the bowler
18.4
2
Thakur to Jordan, 2 runs, length on leg stump, nudged to midwicket's right off the back foot
18.3
1
Thakur to Hooda, 1 run, slower short ball at middle stump, has to adjust and get this pull to short fine's left. Can't beat him, but that is a very impressive fifty for Hooda in a must-win game. Been proactive and found ways to keep his scoring rate high as the others have struggled on this surface
18.2
4
Thakur to Hooda, FOUR, steps out and carves it over extra cover. Full slower ball outside off, quickly to the pitch of it with his feet down leg side to create room. Funds his spot to perfection
18.1
2
Thakur to Hooda, 2 runs, slower ball at a length on leg stump, nudges it into vacant midwicket and shouts immediately for the two that they've managed comfortably

Ngidi to Hooda, 1 wide, slower ball, short of a length and wide outside off. Left alone
17.5

Ngidi to Hooda, 2 runs, length ball outside off, shuffles and opens the face to run this to deep point's right
17.4
6
Ngidi to Hooda, SIX, drilled over extra cover this time! In the slot and wide outside off. He shuffles to get in line of that and once again a beautiful extension of the arms to transfer his weight through this lofted drive. Picturesque from Hooda

Purv Negandhi: "Excellent spell from Ngidi so far..reminiscent to the one against the same opponent in 2018 in Pune, during which he took 4/10 in his 4 overs"

Ngidi to Hooda, no run, a review for catch behind fueled entirely by the bowler's enthusiasm. It's a yorker past the tramline. Hooda looks to chop at that. He's definitely hit the ground as he attempts it. The bat face is open and there is a shadow on the bat as the ball goes past it, says the umpire. Sharp observation, that. And then he uses the angle from behind the keeper to confirm that there is gap between bat and all
17.2
6
Ngidi to Hooda, SIX, sliced over the point boundary. Full and wide outside off. Reaches out and deliberately opens the face to get it well fine of the sweeper fielder
17.1

Ngidi to Neesham, OUT, a diving catch to the right by Gaikwad! At deep midwicket. This pitch could be Ngidi's BFF, the way he's understood it today. Around the wicket, dug into the pitch short of a good length outside off. Neesham shapes for his favoured swipe over midwicket, but the slow pace on that makes him get a lot more elevation than he's like. Then, Gaikwad tracks it brilliantly with a sprint to his right and lunges with perfect timing to take that and then hold on

JDS Neesham c Gaikwad b Ngidi 2 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 66.66

END OF OVER:
17 | 6 Runs 1 Wkt | PBKS: 113/5 | RR: 6.64

  • Deepak Hooda28 (18b)
  • James Neesham2 (2b)
  • Ravindra Jadeja3-0-17-1
  • Imran Tahir4-0-24-1

This has been some expert batting on a slow surface from Hooda, by far the best batsman for them today after the powerplay. Can he finish big? Ngidi will be in the way for the 18th over, and possibly the 20th too.

Jadeja to Hooda, 2 runs, length at middle stump, shuffles and nudges it into midwicket with soft hands

Jadeja to Neesham, 1 run, short of a length slider with a low arm action. Outside off. Gets back and clips to deep square
