- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.3 Prithvi pulls, but misses, and he's struck on the thigh. It looks high, the umpire's call is not out, but they ask for a review. He's not the tallest, though, and the ball wasn't climbing too much. But it's three reds, and the decision is over-turned! Excellent review there 21/15.2 Dhoni juggles, but holds it at the second attempt! Dhawan tried to manufacture a glide to third man, but the ball just bounced a little more than he expected. The bounce also took Dhoni by surprise, but he manages to cling on to a juggling effort 37/28.5 swept straight into his lap! Munro wants to slog sweep this into the stands, but he can't get the distance in the shot, and Bravo barely has to move at deep square leg. Capitals are losing their way ... 57/311.3 big swing across the line, and a big miscue. Looked like the googly out of the hand, quite a bit of flight on it, and Iyer went for the front-foot hoick over square leg. It was the googly, but it didn't turn as much as expected, just bounced a little extra, and the top-edge swirls high in the air before Raina settles under it at backward point 75/418.4 got him. Sticks to that line outside off, bowling the cutter into the pitch and making Pant fetch it against the angle. Goes for the big one this time, and can't get it far enough to the left of long-on 125/812.5 short, angling across the left-hander, getting up to about shoulder height, and Axar leans back for the ramp. Unfortunately for him, third man is back on the boundary, and all he does is hit it straight down his throat 80/515.5 gone. Length ball wide of off stump and Rutherford aims over the covers again, not full enough for it and it grips and turns. Slices off the outside half of the bat into short third man's hands 102/617.5 boom. Perfect leg-stump yorker, at full pace - 139kph, which is super quick for Bravo - and Paul is sure as hell surprised. Big backlift, clears his front leg, prepared to hit over the leg side, and suddenly the ball is hurtling towards his toe at unexpected pace. Before can bring his bat down the ball is past him and his stumps are disturbed 119/719.3 similar line and length, but this time it's slower and slightly shorter. Boult swings too early, a little across it, and misses, and loses his leg stump 137/9Extras8 (lb 5, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL147/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.35)Fall of wickets: 1-21 (Prithvi Shaw, 2.3 ov), 2-37 (Shikhar Dhawan, 5.2 ov), 3-57 (Colin Munro, 8.5 ov), 4-75 (Shreyas Iyer, 11.3 ov), 5-80 (Axar Patel, 12.5 ov), 6-102 (Sherfane Rutherford, 15.5 ov), 7-119 (Keemo Paul, 17.5 ov), 8-125 (Rishabh Pant, 18.4 ov), 9-137 (Trent Boult, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.2 short on leg stump, and there's the breakthrough. Was a little cramped for room while looking to pull this, and he can't quite get the power on it to clear the boundary. Keemo Paul catches it diving to his right at deep square leg 81/112.2 down the track comes Watson, and this time he's found the fielder. Mishra straightened his line, bowled it at middle and leg to cramp Watson slightly, and his lofted inside-out drive doesn't carry as far as he wanted 109/215.6 bowled him. There's already been one thick inside-edge in this over, and now he drags one onto his stumps. This was perhaps a touch too close to cut, and he goes at it with an angled bat and chops it on 127/318.4 short outside off, and Dhoni's pulled it straight to the man on the boundary! Keemo Paul hardly had to move there, at deep square leg. CSK will have to wait just a little longer 146/4Extras11 (lb 5, w 6)TOTAL151/4 (19 Overs, RR: 7.94)Fall of wickets: 1-81 (Faf du Plessis, 10.2 ov), 2-109 (Shane Watson, 12.2 ov), 3-127 (Suresh Raina, 15.6 ov), 4-146 (MS Dhoni, 18.4 ov)
