END OF OVER:
20 | 9 Runs 1 Wkt | CSK: 230/5 | RR: 11.50

  • Ravindra Jadeja21 (18b)
  • Prasidh Krishna4-0-22-2
  • Mohammed Siraj4-0-47-0

Chinna: "CSK is 10 runs short! Jadeja's knock is gonna be the difference at the end!!!" --- What a world it is of T20s, where even 230 is considered less

Dewald Brevis: "If you hit the deck, there's something in it. There's a bit of turn if you bowl it in the wicket. It's a beautiful place to bat. It's a great score. We just need to stick to our basics: take it ball by ball, and over by over. I want to be in the field, so I don't think I need a shower!"

5.15pm One of CSK's best batting performances of the season. Look at that scorecard, and it looks so T20-like: a few cameos, a hurried half-century at the top, and a motoring fifty lower down. Perhaps this is what they've been lacking all along - a fearless approach with the bat. They've smashed their way to 230 on a batting-friendly pitch, although the fans may be regretting about that fifth wicket having fallen at least one ball too late. But join Vishal for the chase to see who ends the league stages on a high.

Prasidh Krishna to Brevis, OUT, taken by Buttler, as he ends halfway towards where the deep-third fielder was present. Prasidh bowls another short ball, but this climbs up nicely just outside off. Brevis went pulling, but got a top edge flying back over the wicket

Prasidh Krishna to Brevis, no run, ohh, well bowled by Prasidh. He spots Brevis getting across and shaping to a scoop, and bowls short. Goes wide-ish of off, and the ball goes over Brevis' bat
19.3
1
Prasidh Krishna to Jadeja, 1 run, pulled over the man at short fine leg, but not well timed. Short in length on the stumps, and Jadeja has a swivel for a single

Mohammed Siraj to Jadeja, 1 run, very full, and angling across to middle and off. Driven hard to long-on

Mohammed Siraj to Jadeja, 2 runs, yorker length from Siraj on leg, and Jadeja clips this to deep square leg by clearing his front leg. They push for two, and make it

Mohammed Siraj to Brevis, 1 run, fifty for Brevis off 19 balls, as he drills this much fuller ball on middle and off to long-on
18.3

Mohammed Siraj to Brevis, FOUR, some fortune for Brevis, and it hurts GT. Slower ball from Siraj, who bowls short and a little wide of off. Brevis opens his stance up and goes deep to have a hack, but the ball flies off the top edge to go to deep-backward point
18.2

Mohammed Siraj to Brevis, SIX, tonked straight down the ground! This ball arrives fuller, and closer to off, as Brevis gets his front leg out of the way, and pumps it back
18.1

Mohammed Siraj to Brevis, SIX, Shahrukh slips at the long-off boundary... and the ball lands a few rows back. Scrambled seam from Siraj, who goes full and around seventh stump. Brevis doesn't time the loft as well, but he hits forcefully enough

Siraj back

Mustafa Moudi: "Brevis' current T20 runs tally - 1988, is the year when his partner Jadeja was born!!" --- But CSK batting is surely becoming so 2010s now...

17.4

Arshad Khan to Brevis, FOUR, he attempts a reverse scoop... and the ball takes the top edge to go over short fine leg!! That's T20 luck for you. Arshad went full and wide of off, and Brevis shaped early to have a swing, but seemed to have done it a bit too early

Arshad Khan to Jadeja, 1 run, a high-ish full toss on the stumps, and pushed wide of long-on
17.2

Arshad Khan to Jadeja, SIX, finally Jadeja's strike rate goes past a hundred. He prefers pace to spin, and smashes this length ball around off for six to long-off, right where the yellow brigade is present
17.1

Arshad Khan to Brevis, 1 run, this lands where a mid-off would have been, after Brevis sends this up ballooning. Arshad angled it across from over the wicket, and went full and pretty wide of off. Brevis threw his bat at it, and ended up chipping it with his bottom hand coming off the bat

Arshad back into the attack

Coetzee to Brevis, 1 run, yorker length, and swinging into middle. Whipped to deep square leg
16.3

Coetzee to Brevis, FOUR, slower ball, but it doesn't matter. This time he goes behind the stumps, and gets four even as his bottom hand comes off the bat. Short in length, and on middle from Coetzee, who gets the slower ball to finish on leg. But Brevis swipes at it to beat short fine leg
16.2
6
Coetzee to Brevis, SIX, flung away for another six in the V down the ground! He sits deep in the crease, and lofts this fullish ball swinging into middle. Great strike by slightly opening the face of the bat
16.1
1
Coetzee to Jadeja, 1 run, on a length, and angling across to pitch on middle and off. Jadeja punches to mid-off, and they hurriedly complete the single

Coetzee into his third over.

Four overs to go, and Brevis has already looked in the mood. How far can he take CSK?

Gokul Pradeep V: "CSK need to post minimum 220 here. If not GT openers will chase it down easily!!" --- Our forecaster gives them 217 from here
