9.25pm GT batted first despite winning the toss, which suggests they wanted to experiment batting in challenging conditions and put on a par-plus total. However, it hasn't worked out for them with their batters struggling against the bounce available to the quicks and some grip for the spinners. Now it is up to their vaunted bowling attack. Peter Della Penna will be with you shortly to tell you all about the chase.

9.20pm PBKS will be the happier side going into the break. "Could have played better but okay," Sai Sudharsan says. "Maybe too many dot balls. The ball was gripping for the spinners, and Arshdeep bowled good yorkers. I would say 160-165 is what we expected there. But our bowlers have been excellent this season. Hopefully we get a good start."

Arshdeep Singh to Sai Sudharsan, 1 run, Jitesh Sharma freezes. Anyway it is still a good result for PBKS. Sudharsan tries the ramp, but is beaten by the slower ball. Sudharsan is not going anywhere but Joseph runs for a bye. They are both at the same end even as Jitesh runs up to the wicket. He then decides not to throw the ball to Arshdeep who is standing close to the striker's end and not at the bowler's end. They get the bye. It is called a run by the way so might have been a small tickle

Right, what is that extra ball going to cost PBKS?

Arshdeep Singh to Sai Sudharsan, (no ball) FOUR, when the bowler is not giving you anything to hit down the ground, you have to manufacture something. That's exactly what Sudharsan does by walking across the wicket and ramping this over the keeper's head. Also a no-ball because they had just three fielders inside the circle
