- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 that is catching practice for mid-on. Just a nothing little push to a length-ball inswinger, unable to keep it down even though he is not looking to hit a boundary off it. Easy catch for mid-on 0/10.5 Kishan is on his knees. The off stump has gone for a walk. Swinging yorker. Okay not quite a yorker. A half-volley more like, but it ha swung late, and Kishan has played the wrong line. He is off his feet as he gets into a tangle, and the ball takes out the off stump. Both openers gone in the first over. Projected score 158 now 2/22.6 and Choudhary makes sure Jadeja's drop doesn't cost them much. He sees Brevis walking at him, Choudhary bowls the slower offcutter, in his half, Brevis looks for a sort of upper-cut, but the extra bounce does him in. Edged to Dhoni 23/37.3 Santner has a wicket finally after the drop in his first over. And he has the big one. Surya has been given no room by the spinners, and they have had a strong leg-side field. So the boundary options for Surya are to go over the leg-side field. He did that against Theekshana, but gets a flat top edge on the same sweep against Santner. Taken at deep square leg 47/413.3 down the wicket this time, and again a move a touch too early. Bravo digs in a bouncer, Shokeen goes ahead with a big shot, skies one to mid-off where Uthappa takes it calmly 85/516.2 and Pollard has found that very straight long-on. This is short of a length, Pollard goes back to pull him down the ground, looking to go dead straight, but he this has come off the toe end and goes shoulder high to that very fielder. CSK overjoyed 111/617.2 dipping yorker. Slower ball dies on him dramatically and hits him on the pad as he is shuffling across for a big hit. Given out lbw. Reviewed too. The only question is if he has got himself outside the line. The replays show the ball dipping, falling inches short of the toe, turning in to impact the pad on off. It returns an umpire's call on impact, but is hitting flush. The original decision stays 120/7Extras5 (lb 2, w 3)TOTAL155/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.75)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Rohit Sharma, 0.2 ov), 2-2 (Ishan Kishan, 0.5 ov), 3-23 (Dewald Brevis, 2.6 ov), 4-47 (Suryakumar Yadav, 7.3 ov), 5-85 (Hrithik Shokeen, 13.3 ov), 6-111 (Kieron Pollard, 16.2 ov), 7-120 (Daniel Sams, 17.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 picks out backward point with a half-tracker first ball! Short and wide angled across seventh stump at 139 kph, there to crack with a blistering cut but doesn't keep it down and doesn't try to elevate it either. Middles it straight to Tilak at chest height behind square, where Tilak takes a bunny hop to get his hands in line and cushion the take. 0/18.6 back of a length angled across fifth stump, Uthappa shuffles across trying to play a short arm jab paddle pull cheekily behind square but doesn't get it wide enough of Brevis at deep backward square leg and picks him out at chest height 10 yards in from the rope for a simple catch. 66/32.3 bounced out! Similar ball that Sams bowled to end the first over that Santner spanked over wide mid-on, but this time bowled tighter on a fourth or fifth stump line to cramp Santner slightly for room. Goes to pull this and top edges this to mid-on where Unadkat waits several seconds for the ball to come down before grasping onto it with elbows tucked into his torso and palms facing in. 16/214.5 goodness what a ball to get out to! Meatball of a full toss on the knees is skewed to Pollard at long-off! Junk sent down by Sams, but it's clearly his day when he can get a fourth with this kind of ball. Could have easily been deposited over midwicket but Rayudu awkwardly tried to punch this straight back over mid-on and instead it came off the outer half of the bat floating toward Pollard, who charged forward 20 yards off the rope and dove forward to pouch it with his bucket hands. 102/512.5 perfect delivery, sensational catch! Sams bangs this back of a length in the fifth stump channel at full pace angling it in toward off, flat-footed poke by Dube clips the edge and flies high toward Kishan's left at chest height. He does a salmon leap sideways to snaffle it. 88/415.4 slower ball lands full and this time within the wide guidelines at 113 kph forcing Jadeja to play at this but he's through the shot too early, shovels this high toward long-off, basic catch taken by Tilak running in and falling forward on his knees to claim it at waist height. 106/619.1 Pretorius shuffles way across his stumps and misses flicking across the line to a yorker. Looks stone dead live but umpire Oxenford gives it not out and they scamper a leg bye. Rohit calls for DRS immediately. Live, it looked like the ball pitched in line with leg stump. That was the only doubt. If it was, he's a gonner. Ball-tracking indeed shows the ball pitched in line. Oxenford has to overturn his decision to out! Pretorius was so far across his stumps, you could see leg stump showing live, so it was surprising that it was given not out on field. 139/7Extras8 (lb 1, w 7)TOTAL156/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.8)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Ruturaj Gaikwad, 0.1 ov), 2-16 (Mitchell Santner, 2.3 ov), 3-66 (Robin Uthappa, 8.6 ov), 4-88 (Shivam Dube, 12.5 ov), 5-102 (Ambati Rayudu, 14.5 ov), 6-106 (Ravindra Jadeja, 15.4 ov), 7-139 (Dwaine Pretorius, 19.1 ov)
