- BATSMENRB4s6sSR13.5 Mishra does well to float this up to Watson and entice him. But he's taken this away from him with some drift in the air, and it results in Watson skewing a lofted strike off the outside part of the bat. Into the hands of long-off 130/310.5 du Plessis holes out to long-off. Not his most fluent inning, a run-a-ball 33 when the team's going nearly at 10 an over. Lofts this fuller one but the bat turns in his hands as long-off grabs it reverse-cupped 102/111.1 an ugly swipe across the line sees the back of Raina. Nicely floated up around his off-stump, and Raina is expecting it to turn away. But it simply slides in with the arm and beats the inside edge before clattering into off-stump 103/219.5 has that been dropped? Ok, wait, is that a runout? Yes, it is. Lots of things happened there. Dhoni got a glove as he tried to pull this short ball and Pant drops it after diving to his left. Rayudu, in the meantime, has crossed over to the other end enthusiastically looking for a single only to find that Dhoni hasn't so much as moved a toe. All he can do then is sprint back to his end but then Boult nails a direct hit 209/4Extras7 (b 1, lb 2, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL211/4 (20 Overs, RR: 10.55)Fall of wickets: 1-102 (Faf du Plessis, 10.5 ov), 2-103 (Suresh Raina, 11.1 ov), 3-130 (Shane Watson, 13.5 ov), 4-209 (Ambati Rayudu, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.4 Asif bounces out Shaw. He runs in hard and hits the pitch harder. Dug in short on off stump, 141.9ks, rushes Shaw into a pull. He is late onto it and splices an overhead catch to Jadeja, who runs to his right from mid-off and pouches it safely. CSK's gun fielder. CSK's specialist fielder? Asif soaks in his maiden IPL wicket 10/14.6 The back-of-a-length ball works for Asif and CSK again. That's the right length to bowl here in Pune. Munro shimmies out again, Asif pulls his length back and attacks the body of Munro. He aims to slog it away but only toe-ends it to Karn at deep midwicket 46/26.6 Awful mix-up between the wickets, and Iyer has been dismissed. This was on a length and outside off, hint of turn, Iyer stretches out and pushes it to the right of Watson at short cover. He goes for an non-existent single, he is halfway down the pitch, Pant sends him back. Not enough time to undo his steps. Dhoni delays taking the bails off. Bring on Thanos, please 64/317.4 has he picked out the fielder here? Yes, he has. Short and angled across, Pant tries to slap it and ends up skewing it off the lower part of the bat as Jadeja runs forward from sweeper cover and snaffles it 162/58.5 Jadeja rattles Maxwell's stumps with a 100.3ks dart. Good length and slides in from around the wicket, Maxwell swings down the wrong line and only collects fresh air 74/4Extras8 (lb 2, w 6)TOTAL198/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.9)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Prithvi Shaw, 1.4 ov), 2-46 (Colin Munro, 4.6 ov), 3-64 (Shreyas Iyer, 6.6 ov), 4-74 (Glenn Maxwell, 8.5 ov), 5-162 (Rishabh Pant, 17.4 ov)
