- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.6 Gaikwad falls for 53 off 49. We will know in a bit if this is the correct representation of this pitch. The crowd is not debating that. they are chanting Dhoni Dhoni. And then a bit of a boo as they see Shivam Dube walk out. Gaikwad skips down the wicket, Rashid drags the length back, and he ends up dragging this to deep midwicket. No timing either. Signs that it is a slow pitch 113/32.1 this is just too good. Test-match stuff. Round the wicket, angling in, making him play the angle, and then leaving him just a touch to take the edge. Conway tried to walk down at him but it didn't help him 8/18.4 smart bowling. Slow in the air, outside off, making him drag it to his favourite slog into the leg side even though it is the bigger boundary. Caught at deep midwicket 65/216.3 sharp bouncer. Joseph has been really quick this IPL. And Dube looks to pull out of this late, and gets a top edge into the shoulder and then through to Saha. The crowd, though, is delirious with joy. And they are all CSK fans, mind you 114/419.3 and Dhoni is out for 7 off 10. Shami digs this in, Dhoni looks to pull over midwicket, but perhaps the ball has come slower than he expects and he can't clear midwicket 130/5Extras7 (lb 2, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL133/5 (20 Overs, RR: 6.65)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Devon Conway, 2.1 ov), 2-65 (Moeen Ali, 8.4 ov), 3-113 (Ruturaj Gaikwad, 15.6 ov), 4-114 (Shivam Dube, 16.3 ov), 5-130 (MS Dhoni, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.1 No. 99 at the back, Malinga's bowling action, slinger Pathirana strikes first ball in the IPL! Gill clearly is done in by the pace and is late in bringing his bat down for the flick. It was speared full on middle. Gill asked for the review. Pad first, confirms the Snicko, Hawk-Eye returns three reds. First-ball strike for Pathirana, remember the name! What a mode of dismissal to kickstart your IPL career. 59/111.2 Wade loses two things on a single ball - his wicket as well as his bat! Yet again looks to attack Moeen but fails to pick the flight early. Almost yorks himself as he holes out to long-on. Loses his bat, that flew to almost hit Dhoni. 90/213.1 Another wicket off the first ball of his over, Pathirana is on a roll! It was the offcutter that did Pandya in. It was full, Pandya was early into the flick and ended up getting a leading edge. Dube at mid-off kept his eyes on the ball and took it after taking a couple of steps back. Is there life in the game? 100/3Extras10 (b 4, lb 2, w 4)TOTAL137/3 (19.1 Overs, RR: 7.14)Fall of wickets: 1-59 (Shubman Gill, 7.1 ov), 2-90 (Matthew Wade, 11.2 ov), 3-100 (Hardik Pandya, 13.1 ov)
