Moeen Ali speaks to the broadcasters: "We know one guy (one of the spinners) will have a good day, so that can give us two or three wickets. The wicket was slower... it hasn't changed a lot. It wasn't spinning big. No dew at all. I'm not sure [where I'd be batting]; I'll get my pads on."

Sajid Tanoli: "Before the match, I heard it's a batting paradise but it isn't. I heard rain in the air, but it isn't" --- That's how it works...

9.07pm Another low-scoring game after the thriller between DC and KKR yesterday. SRH never really got going today, except for a brief spell of spark between Brook and Abhishek, who was pushed to open. But the pitch was slow, and it was gripping and turning for the spinners. The variations and the slower balls from the pacers will be challenging too, even as Jadeja finished with 3 for 22. Join Shashank for the chase, as CSK seek to keep that home record going.

Pathirana to Jansen, OUT, run-out off the last ball! But it has gone to the third umpire, who confirms it is out. Dhoni takes his right glove off, and hits the stumps at his end to find Sundar short. Length ball heading down to end outside leg, as Jansen swung across the line and missed. Naturally, they took for a potential bye

Washington Sundar run out 9 (14m 6b 1x4 0x6) SR: 150.00

Four or six off the last ball? Six will get them 140. Mid-off back, deep third in.

Pathirana to Jansen, no run, short delivery now just outside off. Good bounce and carry, as someone even as tall as Jansen can't pull that

Philip Arnold: "Difficult pitch or poor batting?" --- Challenging pitch, where the ball is gripping and turning. Not easy for a new batter

Deshpande to Jansen, no run, slower ball, just what should work on this pitch. On a length on middle, and angling down to end outside leg, as Jansen - standing by making room - swings and misses

Can these two get SRH to 140?

Saravanan: "CSK can't relax, Sundar thrives on Chennai pitches"

Pathirana to Klaasen, OUT, another good catch by Gaikwad! Again he dives forward - but this time at extra cover - like he had done to dismiss Brook earlier in the day. Klaasen got a length delivery slightly wide of off from Pathirana, as he saw the width and flashed hard at the ball. The ball ended up being aerial, with Gaikwad timing his dive perfectly
