While waiting for Rajasthan Royals to start their chase, tell us who you think should open for them. Buttler, Uthappa, Stokes all in the mix. Vote on our Live Blog here.

7:42pm That's the lowest score batting first this IPL. Only six boundaries for CSK in their last 15 overs, and that is the story. They couldn't get any manner of acceleration into this innings. There was grip and turn for the spinners, but there wasn't much in the form of attacking intent through the middle overs from Dhoni and Jadeja. They put on 51 between them but that took 46 balls, and the flourish never came even after they took it deep. A tidy bowling performance from almost all Royals bowlers today, particularly the spinners who only went for 32 between them in eight overs. Back for the chase shortly.

1
Stokes to Jadeja, 1 run, low full toss at middle stump, looks to slog that and gets it onto the pads off the inside edge
19.5
1b
Stokes to Jadhav, 1 bye, beaten and then a fumble by the keeper. Slower ball at a length outside off, gets low and stuck halfway into a sweep as this climbs past him and dips on the keeper
19.4
1
Stokes to Jadeja, 1 run, doesn't give them even the thought of a second this time, Jofra. Full slower ball outside off, slugged along the floor to long-on's right and ad he's quickly onto it before unleashing a rocket throw on the full to the keeper. Jadhav had slipped and the second was off anyway
19.3
1
Stokes to Jadhav, 1 run, yorker length at leg stump, flicked out to deep square
19.2
2
Stokes to Jadhav, 2 runs, dropped at long-off by Archer. Some indifferent fielding from him there the last few overs, run-out aside. Slower ball at a length outside off, looks to launch this straight on the rise and Archer is under it with a reverse-cup. Almost too soft with the attempt, the balls just bursts through

Stokes to Jadeja, 1 run, short and wide outside off, steps out and drives straight to extra cover

Stokes to bowl the last over, over the wicket

1
Archer to Jadeja, 1 run, short and up at the throat. Feet off the ground again as he rides the bounce and drops this into the square leg region
18.5

Archer to Jadeja, FOUR, nudged to fine leg. A short ball headed for his under-arm and he leaps off the floor and fends this fine with the angle
18.4

Archer to Jadeja, FOUR, lifted past mid-off. A length ball in at middle stump, clears the front leg, offers the full face and lofts it between bowler and mid-off
18.3

Archer to Jadhav, 1 run, good length and into the stumps, backs away and chops into the off side
18.2

Archer to Jadhav, no run, beaten by legcutter. Lovely ball. Lands it on a length outside off and goes past the outside edge as he has a swish at this

James : "Dhoni only jogged the first run, Jadeja was looking for 2."

Kartik Tyagi to Jadhav, no run, lifts past his face and he can't even get a shot away at this. Short ball outside off, walks down the pitch and lets it go
17.4
W
Kartik Tyagi to Dhoni, 1 run, OUT, run-out appeal at the striker's end. Another fumble at long-off from Jofra as CSK looks to punch a second. His throw to the striker's end is a good one though. Only slightly to Samson's right who grabs the ball and whips the bails off. Dhoni's grounded the bat but it's on the line as the bails come off, nothing behind it. It was a full delivery outside off, driven firmly in Archer's direction and they looked to run on the misfield. Dhoni hadn't run the first one hard, merely trotted across. He was caught off guard as Jadeja pushed him for the second

MS Dhoni run out 28 (28b 2x4 0x6) SR: 100

Kartik Tyagi to Dhoni, FOUR, Archer misfields a straightforward take at long-off. Low full toss outside off, driven firmly to Archer's left and he fumbles and lets this between his legs after making the ground
17.2
1lb
Kartik Tyagi to Jadeja, 1 leg bye, appeal for lbw is turned down and they don't review. Length ball on leg stump, beaten on the attempted whip into the leg side and struck on the back thigh. That pitched outside leg

Stays over the wicket
