    10.5 are we even surprised anymore with this guy? Faf du Plessis with yet another perfectly timed jump at the boundary to help his team out. Good length ball at middle stump, steps out and looks to drag this over long-on. Faf waits, jumps, lands and then is on the verge of losing his balance. So, once again, he lobs it up inside play and comes back for it. Calm as ever 69/3
    0.4 bowled him comprehensively! Bairstow completely outsmarted. Full inswinger starting from just outside off, upright seam brings it back in viciously and the batsman is not prepared for it. The bat swing is outside off, for the initial line, and he can't even get it close to the ball which thuds the front pad before splitting the stumps 1/1
    7.1 drives it straight to mid-off! Good length and a lot of room outside off. Sets up to drill this on the rise. Was probably looking to go wider, towards the extra cover direction. But it's come off the inside half and a simple catch for Curran 47/2
    10.6 they've got Kane next ball! This is a gift. This is a sight - an angry Williamson. No way to tell why from here, but what we can argue pretty confidently is that there wasn't a run to Rayudu's right here at midwicket. Did Garg call for it and then change his mind? Can't think of another reason for this anger. It was a good length ball flicked to mdiwicket's right. Williamson was halfway down, and went back. The throw was wide but there was so much time that Dhoni could flick it onto the stumps and still catch Williamson a few yards short 69/4

    17.6 caught behind. Well, it's one out of three for CSK in the over. It ends Sharma's innings - the one that injected pace into the middle overs for them. It's a slower short ball, he looks for the pull, gets an edge behind and Chahar is beaming ironically as he finally gets one 146/5

    5.6 the bails are off at the striker's end, Faf appears to be short.Oh boy this is going to be controversial, I can already tell. Bairstow is sprinting towards the stumps as midwicket's throw comes in on the bounce. He uses his momentum to push it on the half volley towards the stumps. The ball hits the stumps, BUT, so does Bairstow. Seemingly at the same time. But that is the side angle. From front on, the umpire is convinced it's the ball that hits the stumps when Faf is short. So that is out. It was a full ball flicked to midwicket's right, his throw was halfway between looking for the direct hit and lobbing it to the keeper - just ended up a feeble lob. But it has worked and it is the man who had just gotten going. He was struggling to make that run, possibly a result of the knock he took last over 36/3
    2.3 chops it on! Not a moment this innings when Watson was in control. This is the widest of the deliveries Bhuvneshwar's bowled to him. But it is still an incoming ball. He's in a half squat trying to cut it. Inside edge and that's all tonight from Watson 4/1
    5.1 knocks the top of off! Rayudu playing down the wrong line. Need to watch this closely, because he's very far away from this. Surprisingly far away. Slow-mos show it was just a good length ball, nice upright seam, aimed to go across him. No movement on that, but for some reason Rayudu is down leg, bringing the bat down angled towards midwicket and playing outside leg stump 26/2
    8.2 he's got a wicket at extra cover! Sharp catch from Warner. Good length ball, lobbed up slowly and wide outside off. Not a lot of turn, but there's dip and overspin and Jadhav is not on top of this attempted drive. It's to Warner's left at face height and he shows good reactions 42/4

    17.4 picks Samad out at deep backward square! Oh he watched that so closely into his hands. Short ball at middle stump, on the front foot to pull. Samad doesn't have to move a lot. Makes a strong base, brings out the reverse cup and holds on. Camera cuts to Muralitharan in the dugout mouthing "good catch" as he looks sheepishly at the people around him 114/5
