5.25pm Gujarat Titans have done really well with the ball, and now are a decent innings short of a top-two finish. Will they get there? S Sudarshanan will tell you all about it.

5.22pm Great bowling by GT in the end but you always have to question CSK's method of pretty much always going slow in the first four and then leaving themselves no choice but to keep going hard. It calls for a lot of precision after the time they spend assessing the conditions. No doubt that they do this better than any other side, but must they do it?

"The wicket was a bit sticky," says Jagadeesan. "It was difficult to play our strokes, but I think we are 15-20 short. But if we can get our plans right, it is game on on this pitch. If they keep changing the pace, it is difficult for the batters. Not to forget there is something in it for the spinners too."
