    2.2 smart bowling. Jaiswal sees this is shortish again, and thinks he has another boundary for the taking, but this is slightly wider and bounces a touch extra. Takes the top endge for an easy catch towards Dhoni, but Chahar is so committed to it that Dhoni lets him take it 11/1
    18.2 S Curran has another wicket. Smith has looked out of gas for a wee while now. He looks to whip a length ball to leg but gets no power behind the shot. Caught at deep midwicket. CSK back into this if there is dew later tonight 178/7
    11.4 and they finally get rid of Samson. Ngidi keeps hiding the ball from Samson. No pace on, and wide outside off. Samson still thinks of hitting this over cover for six, but he doesn't get the timing. Off the toe end it goes for a catch to deep cover. What a lovely innings from Samson 132/2
    11.6 slower ball again, worked into a hole on the leg side, and has Miller lost his bat while diving to make it to the non-striker's end? Oh he has lost his bat while diving but has Jadhav broken the wicket with his hand before colelcting the ball? Miller is definitely short of the ground, and the third umpire doesn't seem to be considering the possibility of Jadhav having messed up this run-out. He rules it out. Miller gone without facing a ball on RR debut. Good thinking by the fielder in the deep to go to the far end because Miller was surprised by the call for two. And Jadhav's collection was clean as. The earlier replays created an illusion it might not have been 134/3
    14.1 Uthappa tries to hit him for another six, chips down the track, but gets too close to the ball and hence can't get the elevation he needs. This is timed well, but straight and low to du Plessis at long-off. Disappointing effort from Uthappa 149/4
    16.2 that is out. Tewatia has been swiping across the line too often here. Given out lbw but he has reviewed it. He has missed a plum full toss, and is hit on the toe. The only question is, if it is angling down. it isn't. He has burnt the review 167/5
    16.6 another wicket for Curran as Parag looks to run this down to the other side of short third man. This is short of a length, he has run his fingers on it. Parag opens the face and gets only an edge that is falling in front of Dhoni. The ball nearly pops out of his hands but he does well to hold on 173/6

    7.3 a sleepy little knock from Vijay comes to an end. He has hit in the air for a second time without the conviction of hitting a six. He looks to pull this slightly short ball, but goes only as far as deep square leg 58/2
    6.4 timber. Tewatia gets the wicket to ease off some pressure. Watson knows they can't have three singles in a row. He goes back to pull another slider, and this is perhaps not short enough. It squeezes under the bat, hits the pad, and cannons into the leg stump 56/1
    18.5 du Plessis woke the sleeping giant up. Archer bowls the quick bouncer this time, and it is too quick for him. Top edge onto his body, and lobs up for a simple catch for Samson. One thing du Plessis has done through this innings: announce that he can hit clean when he wants to 179/6
    8.5 and Tewatia has done for Curran. Too many risks he is taking, and has jumped of the crease again. Tewatia slows it down further, and goes wider to beat him. Easy stumping for Samson. Curran goes for a six-ball 17, a very Curran score 77/3
    8.6 and Tewatia is on a hat-trick. Another stumping for Samson. Gaikwad skips out first ball, Tewatia bowls wide outside off to beat him easily. Tewatia is elated. Celebrates with fingers in his ear. Not sure if he had been given some lip when he was batting 77/4
    13.4 when it is your evening, it is your night. Now Samson takes an amazing one-handed catch to send Jadhav back. Slower short ball, offcutter, Jadhav throws his bat at it, gets a top edge, and Samson leaps to his right to pluck a one-hander 114/5
