Vignesh: "Deepak Hooda should be given few overs, he bowls good off spin."

Kamindu Mendis: "It was good. There is a bit of dew. I just bowled into the pitch. When I do fielding practice, I do both sides. So that catch happened naturally. I'm comfortable with my right arm, because my dominant arm is the right arm. But both are comfortable for me. We were good in field, and we bowled pretty well. It's a gettable score. There's dew, and hopefully, we can chase these runs."

9.20pm Hooda plays Dhoni's role to bat deep, and hit a few late boundaries. That takes CSK past 150 on what is a slow and gripping pitch. Hooda led the effort as CSK scored 17 runs off their last 11 balls, and who knows if that could be the difference. For SRH, Harshal's slower balls worked well; the ball even seemed to stop before coming on. So if the pitch gets slower, even 155 could be a tough chase. But you'd bet Head, Abhishek and co don't care. Join Abhimanyu for the chase soon.

Unadkat to Hooda, OUT, gone! Fourth catch for Abhishek tonight! This time he's at long-off, and waits patiently for the ball to come at him. Unadkat bowled this slower ball on the fuller side of a length, and around sixth stump. Hooda went lofting at it, but couldn't clear the boundary. I think the ball stopped on the surface there

DJ Hooda c Abhishek Sharma b Unadkat 22 (38m 21b 1x4 1x6) SR: 104.76

There seems to be plenty of dew there

Patel to Hooda, 1 run, great work by Kishan!! He was placed at deep-backward point, and ran to his right to pat the ball back after it came to him on the bounce. It was a low full toss from Harshal around off, as Hooda sliced it aerially. He ran only one, though, since there's only one ball left

Patel to Hooda, (no ball) SIX, pings the first tier behind the wicket... and it's also a high full toss! Harshal bowled a slower ball which ended up arriving above Hooda's waist, and on leg. Hooda had a heave, and sent it flaying over the leg side over a straghtish fine leg

Ashish: "I think Chennai have enough for this pitch."

Patel to Noor Ahmad, OUT, top edge to short third. Harshal went wide of the crease, and bowled a slower ball. It was also dipping, and arrived as a low full toss on off. Noor went swiping at it across the line, and ended up getting a little top edge behind the wicket. That little bit of edge, though, was enough, as Shami moved to his right to complete the catch

Noor Ahmad c Mohammed Shami b Patel 2 (4m 3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 66.66

Noor at No. 10... but his bat doesn't pass the test. So out comes a new one, which works.

Cummins to Kamboj, OUT, tickled behind by Kamboj. He looked to have a swing at this short-of-a-length ball just outside off, and closed the face of the bat. But he got a faint - and an almost inaudible - outside edge to Klaasen, who only moved a step to his right to take the catch comfortably
