END OF OVER:

9.17pm 187 for 4. I'd say it's a formidable total on this pitch, but if dew comes into it, it's within the reach of a deep CSK line-up, especially given that PBKS's bowling attack isn't full of proven performers. It's been a fascinating match so far, and hopefully the second innings will be just as fascinating. Peter Della Penna will take over commentary for the chase.

Bhanuka Rajapaksa: "It's a kind of a slow wicket. We were planning on 150, we were fortunate to get [187]. It's holding a bit, but if you bat for a while you can identify the pace of it. Amazing knock from Shikhar to get us up to 180-plus. [Why he was sent in at No. 3] There were two left-arm spinners and my team-mate Maheesh Theekshana."

Bravo to Bairstow, 1 run, OUT, slower length ball outside off, no pace to work with, flat-batted one bounce to long-on, and they run the second run just in case there's a fumble. The throw is at the keeper's end, there's no fumble from Dhoni, and Bairstow is run out by yards

JM Bairstow run out 6 (5m 3b 1x4 0x6) SR: 200.00

Bravo to Bairstow, FOUR, poor ball, high full-toss on off stump, and Bairstow opens up at the hips and whips it away over backward square leg. Not quite over waist high if he were standing upright, but close

Bravo to S Dhawan, 1 run, yorker outside off, on pace, jabbed towards extra-cover
19.3

Bravo to S Dhawan, SIX, shot. Shuffles across, and gets far enough across for Bravo's wide slower length ball to be within his arc. Clubs it over the short leg-side boundary, and clears it, to the left of deep midwicket

Stays over the wicket to Dhawan.

Bravo to Bairstow, 1 run, slower yorker on off stump, and he makes room and opens his bat face to squeeze a single towards backward point

Jonny Bairstow is in with five balls remaining.

Bravo to Livingstone, OUT, down the track, doesn't quite get to the pitch of this slower offcutter, and swings his body 360 degrees while looking to smash this over midwicket, out of the ground, and into the next postcode, but he doesn't middle it. Instead he gets a top edge and it flies high in the air and settles in the hands of the fielder at short third

LS Livingstone c Mukesh Choudhary b Bravo 19 (12m 7b 1x4 2x6) SR: 271.42

Twenty-one off that 19th over. Can Kings get to 190?

Pretorius to S Dhawan, FOUR, shot. Steps across, gets a shortish ball angling into the stumps, and helps it neatly over short fine leg

Round the wicket to Dhawan.

Pretorius to Livingstone, 1 run, wide yorker, looks to drag it from there and it over long-on, ends up bottom-edging to the left of the keeper

Did PBKS shoot themselves on a foot by having a left-left pair at the crease for so long with these asymmetric boundaries? We might ask that question if they lose this today.
