9.12pm With a bit of dew settling in, CSK hold all the aces as we take a small break. For most of the first innings, it was the Ravindra Jadeja show. He took a tough catch first ball of the game, then returned to bowl a miserly spell that included three wickets, and continued contributing on the field later. Theeshana's spell was enterprising even if he didn't get as many rewards, and Tushar Deshpande bowled some smart lines and lengths against KKR's batters who came with some big-hitting reputation. Mustafizur Rahman was simply marvelous, finishing with 2-22.

The only bright spot for KKR was their powerplay performance, where they made 56 for 1 courtesy Narine and Angkrish. It would worry them just how much Shreyas and Rinku (and a few others) struggled on a two-paced surface. They've already named Anukul Roy as the impact sub, so let's see if he has the same type of impact like Jadeja. Be back with the chase soon.

Ravindra Jadeja: (On 100 catches) I don't count my catches [smiles]. Mustafizur has been great with his change-ups. This should be a target we can chase comfortably."

1b
Mustafizur Rahman to Roy, 1 bye, fullish ball outside off. Comes down the ground to whack it through the covers but he makes zero connection. Through to MS and they scurry across for one. Only two runs conceded in the 20th over as KKR finish on 137/9

Pratheek Jain: "CSK ought to change their name to Pythons. They strangle the opposition and squeeze them into a surrender. And take their own sweet time to do it. Never in any hurry whatsoever."

Mustafizur Rahman to Arora, 1 run, good length ball angling away. Pace off, course, as expected. Nudged to the off side for one

Mustafizur Rahman to Starc, OUT, the Fizz adds a second. Starc moves to the off side before Mustafizur delivers the ball. Picks this length ball well as he tries to pull a six, but despite his positive move, all he can do is find deep square leg. Purple cap now for Mustafizur
