9.20pm CSK won't mind that score overall but MI won't mind the recovery in the end. Especially after the lost Kieron Pollard without much impact. Tilak Varma has done well to take them to 155 after Mukesh Choudhary rocked them with three wickets inside the powerplay. CSK dropped four catches and missed a stumping to help MI along, including Varma pretty early in the innings. Will these chances cost them the match? Peter Della Penna will soon tell you all about it.

9.15pm "It was very important to play out overs early because it was gripping and seaming," says Tilak Varma. "We expected it to be dry but it played differently. Our plan was to play the whole 20 overs. I think we have a good score. If we bowl well, we should be able to defend. Our plan was that 145-150 was a good score, but with the dew, we need a few extra."

Bravo to Unadkat, SIX, Unadkat has hit as hard as he can and has got just enough to clear deep midwicket. Short ball from Bravo, a nd Unadkat gives the pull his all. Because he has had to drag this from outside off, the deep midwicket fielder stands a chance Santner leaps high, but can't get to it

Shiva Jayaraman tells me: "According to our records, this is the first time five batters have been given chances through dropped catches or missed stumpings in IPL; also equals the most reprieves in an IPL innings."
