- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 what a comeback! It was a length ball, bowled wide outside off. Agarwal went for the drive but couldn't keep it down. A simple catch for Uthappa at cover 4/19.6 fuller outside off, Dhawan looks to go over extra cover but mistimes it and it goes straight up. Jadeja runs sideways to his right at extra cover and pouches it 109/31.2 that's some athleticism and presence of mind from Dhoni. Was a length ball on the stumps, Rajapaksa pushed it on the leg side and set off. Dhawan took a couple of steps down but he waiting for it be clear of Jordan, who ran across - in front of Dhawan - fielded that ball and had a shy at the stumps. Rajapaksa turned around but was never going to beat the throw. The ball missed the stumps, but Dhoni was charging in. He collected with both hands and threw it underarm at the stumps while diving forward to find the batter short 14/210.4 Rayudu clings on at short third man and flashes a wry smile. Relief for Rayudu and CSK. 100ks dart, shorter and outside off, Livingstone aims for a cut and ends up slicing a thick outside edge to short third man. CSK are well and truly back in this contest 115/414.5 Pretorius bests Jitesh with the slower delivery. Caught at short third man. Pitched up and outside off, Jitesh aims to reverse-scoop it over Uthappa at short third man, but does not have enough pace to work with or elevation. Simple catch for Uthappa. Pretorius continues to impress in yellow 146/515.4 Shahrukh holes out to deep square leg, Jordan celebrates. Jordan misses the yorker, comes out as a low full-toss on leg stump. Shahrukh picks it up and swings it to Pretorius. First wicket for Jordan at CSK 151/617.1 Smith is caught by DJ Bravo at long-on. Jordan marginally misses the yorker, but it's still pretty full on middle and leg. Smith can't get underneath the length and hauls it away to the outfielder 161/718.6 Pretorius finishes his shift with a wicket. He rolls out another slower ball outside off. The length is much fuller, chipped to Bravo at long-off 176/8Extras14 (lb 1, w 13)TOTAL180/8 (20 Overs, RR: 9)Did not bat: Arshdeep SinghFall of wickets: 1-4 (Mayank Agarawal, 0.2 ov), 2-14 (Bhanuka Rajapaksa, 1.2 ov), 3-109 (Shikhar Dhawan, 9.6 ov), 4-115 (Liam Livingstone, 10.4 ov), 5-146 (Jitesh Sharma, 14.5 ov), 6-151 (M Shahrukh Khan, 15.4 ov), 7-161 (Odean Smith, 17.1 ov), 8-176 (Rahul Chahar, 18.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 Uthappa falls as well! A length ball around off, Uthappa walked towards it and across, and looked to flick it on the leg side. All he got was a top edge that went straight up. Agarwal from mid-off ran to his right and caught it comfortably 14/21.6 a touch fuller in the channel, Gaikwad's feet are nowhere close to the ball as he pushes at it and gets an outside edge. An easy catch for Dhawan at first slip who celebrates it with a thigh-five. 10/14.4 Chopped on. 128.5kph, a length ball wide outside off, Moeen looks to drive it through covers but ends up playing on the up and away from the body. His feet didn't move at all. Gets an inside edge onto the stumps 22/37.3 a superb catch by Jitesh. Banged in short, Rayudu was looking to ramp it but the ball keeps coming in and hits him on the gloves. It lobs to the right of the keeper who throws himself in the air and takes it airborne 36/55.3 chopped on! . Arshdeep the bowler this time, Jadeja the batter. It was a length ball outside off that nipped back. Jadeja looked to punch it but got an inside edge that deflected on to the thigh pad before ricocheting onto the stumps 23/414.5 Livingstone strikes with the ball, Kumble applauds from the dugout. Skewed to short third man. Livingstone bowls into the pitch and takes it away from Dube. The left-hander top-edges a pull to Arshdeep 98/617.1 Jitesh thinks he has Dhoni. Wide called, but Jitesh immediately signals for a review. He convinces Agarwal. Short and sliding down the leg side, Dhoni aims a pull. Ultra Edge detects a spike. Jitesh gets it right. The on-field not-out call has been reversed. Dhoni falls for 23 off 28 balls 121/914.6 Livingstone has pulled off a terrific one-handed catch. He throws himself to his left from his followthrough and snags Bravo. Fuller legbreak from Livingstone, Bravo checks his push and chips a return catch. That it is a catch is down to Livingstone's brilliance. After firing with the bat, he does the job with the ball: 2-0-11-2 98/715.5 slog-swept straight to Arshdeep at deep midwicket. Pretorius backs away, then jumps back in line with the stumps. He swings but hits it straight to the outfielder 107/817.6 Fittingly, it is Livingstone who takes it at long-on and closes out the game for Kings. Dragged down on middle, CJ rocks back and hauls a pull to Livingstone 126/10Extras4 (nb 2, w 2)TOTAL126 all out (18 Overs, RR: 7)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Ruturaj Gaikwad, 1.6 ov), 2-14 (Robin Uthappa, 2.2 ov), 3-22 (Moeen Ali, 4.4 ov), 4-23 (Ravindra Jadeja, 5.3 ov), 5-36 (Ambati Rayudu, 7.3 ov), 6-98 (Shivam Dube, 14.5 ov), 7-98 (Dwayne Bravo, 14.6 ov), 8-107 (Dwaine Pretorius, 15.5 ov), 9-121 (MS Dhoni, 17.1 ov), 10-126 (Chris Jordan, 17.6 ov)
