9.18pm Excellent finish from CSK but GT still have runs on the board. CSK will be quietly optimistic as they have dragged GT back. This could easily have been 260. Three-four ordinary overs in the middle but a great finish. Vishal Dikshit will be with you for the chase. This one promises to be a tight one.

"It was a great innings," Sai Sudharsan says. "This is how we wanted to play all the time. The wicket is great to bat so we can never say how much is enough here. Mixing it up and going wider is a great option. It was sticking in the surface a little bit at the start but it kept getting better. To be honest it was great to watch Shubman bat. It was a great experience."

Simarjeet Singh to Miller, 1 run, OUT, just one boundary in the last three overs. This is a slot ball but he has hit it straight to deep midwicket. SRK sacrifices himself trying to run that extra run

M Shahrukh Khan run out 2 (12m 3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 66.66

Simarjeet Singh to Miller, 1 wide, big wide now. Called too

Simarjeet Singh to Miller, 2 runs, Ali drops a skier. Simar stays wide of his reach again, and draws a massive edge on a length ball. Moeen runs in from long-on but makes a mess of it. Also two runs

Simarjeet Singh to Miller, no run, finally nails the wide yorker. This is wide of the blue line but Miller has shuffled across. He still reviews it, but this will not be given, I am sure. Miller has moved across before the release of the ball so Simar is fine

Simarjeet Singh to Miller, 1 wide, too wide. Called too. Miller seems interested in a no-ball. Did it land inside the cut strip? I think it did. But Miller has reviewed it. The ball went past the wicket while still being inside the cut strip. So not a no-ball

Simarjeet Singh to Miller, FOUR, misses the yorker, ends up with a wide full toss. Miller doesn't connect, but the outside edge goes fine of short third

Simarjeet Singh to Shahrukh Khan, 1 run, short and wide, SRK cue-ends it towards midwicket for one

Now Simarjeet has to finish off well. He hasn't shown the ability to bowl to his fields like Deshpande and Thakur

END OF OVER:

  • David Miller7 (6b)
  • M Shahrukh Khan1 (2b)
  • Shardul Thakur4-0-25-0
  • Tushar Deshpande4-0-33-2

If I remember correctly, Thakur hasn't conceded a single boundary in his last three overs. GT have tapered off in the end. It could prove crucial

Thakur to Miller, 2 runs, quick short ball, pulled down between deep square and deep midwicket. Another superb Thakur over

Thakur to Miller, 2 runs, surprises him with a straight yorker after many wide balls. They do get a couple to long-on, though

M Shahrukh Khan is the new batter but Miller is on strike. Thakur to bowl

Deshpande to Shubman Gill, OUT, what an over from Deshpande. No boundary plus two wickets. Looks like Gill has lost power. Slower short ball and all he manages is a catch to deep midwicket

David Miller is the new bat

Deshpande to Sai Sudharsan, OUT, the wide lines have kept them quiet, and now brings them the first wicket. Slower ball, far away from his reach, Sudharsan nearly sweeps himself off his feet trying to hit this, but can only go as far as extra cover. Joint-highest opening partnership in IPL

Simarjeet Singh to Sai Sudharsan, SIX, tantalisingly close to getting out for 97 again. Gets inside the line of a length ball and almost sweeps it. Long leg is interested but it narrowly clears it. Two hundreds by two openers

Simarjeet Singh to Shubman Gill, FOUR, the 100th IPL hundred. Simar bowls a juicy full toss, and he has guided it through square leg for four. A slightly angry celebration. He usually just takes a bow. Definitely an angry celebration. I lip-read what he said but can't put it here
