- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.5 did that carry?! Very full and swinging into the pads. Rahane falls across and tries to dig it out. Flicks it towards mid wicket, who dives forward and snaffles it up. Rahane is not going anywhere, though. He thinks it is a bump ball, and there is some uncertainty over whether the catch was clean too. The ball clearly carried and Rabada did brilliantly to get his hands under it. Rahane has to go, and CSK have been rocked early! 12/17.1 wicket first ball! A feather through to the keeper, and the Punjab Kings have the breakthrough they were after! Short and wide outside off, and Gaikwad will be gutted he has gotten out this way. He looks for the cut but the ball skids on just enough to outfox him. Smart catch by Jitesh behind the stumps, and that is a big moment in the game! 69/28.5 huge appeal, and given! CSK lose another! Back of a length just outside off and this one does not bounce much. Mitchell is beaten by the lack of bounce and gets pinned on the knee roll of the front pad. The height might not be an issue but was it heading down leg with the angle? We go upstairs to find out. No bat involved, and Ball Tracking has the ball clipping the outside of leg stump. Very, very tight but it is Umpire's Call, and Mitchell has to go! 75/47.2 two in two for Chahar! Back to back golden ducks for Shivam Dube, and CSK are now in disarray! Googly on a back of a length just outside off. Dube, while being caught on the crease, wafts at it and gets an outside edge that Jitesh pouches sharply. Chahar is off on his celebratory run, and these are two body blows in succession for CSK! 69/312.4 goes straight up, and Moeen perishes! Slower bumper outside off. Moeen tries to swipe it into next week but does not come to grips with the variation. The ball gets big on him and it skews off the top edge. Spoons up to Bairstow at short fine leg, who makes no mistake. CSK slide further! 101/519.4 miscued, and taken by Curran running in! Banged into the track outside off. Jadeja has to fetch it and does not manage to do so. Slices it straight up, and Curran tracks it all the way from long on. Completes the catch just a little outside the ring, and CSK lose their ninth! 164/915.6 holes out to long on! Dangles the carrot outside off and Santner bites. Tries to smash this over long on but has to reach out, meaning that he clinks it off the toe-end. Does not get the requisite power to clear Bairstow, and he takes a simple catch on the fence! 122/618.4 knocks him over! Another slower yorker, and this is on the stumps. Finishes on middle and off, and Shardul, trying to muscle it down the ground, is early into the stroke. Breezes past the bat and smashes into the stumps. And the crowd now finds its voice because MS Dhoni is walking out to the middle! 150/718.5 and Harshal cleans up Dhoni first ball! A superb slower yorker that drops on Dhoni late and does him all ends up. He does not pick the variation and like Shardul, is early into the stroke. The ball sneaks under the toe-end, and then thunders into the stumps. The CSK fans at the venue cannot quite believe what has happened, and their day goes from bad to worse! 150/8Extras6 (lb 1, w 5)TOTAL167/9 (20 Overs, RR: 8.35)Did not bat: Simarjeet SinghFall of wickets: 1-12 (Ajinkya Rahane, 1.5 ov), 2-69 (Ruturaj Gaikwad, 7.1 ov), 3-69 (Shivam Dube, 7.2 ov), 4-75 (Daryl Mitchell, 8.5 ov), 5-101 (Moeen Ali, 12.4 ov), 6-122 (Mitchell Santner, 15.6 ov), 7-150 (Shardul Thakur, 18.4 ov), 8-150 (MS Dhoni, 18.5 ov), 9-164 (Ravindra Jadeja, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.6 Prabhsimran perishes too! Jadeja slows this up, and bowls it full enough on the stumps to entice the lofted stroke. Prabhsimran needs no second invitation but the lack of pace means he cannot get the distance he is after. Arrows it straight to Rizvi at long off, and PBKS are four down! 68/41.3 cleans him up, and Deshpande is absolutely pumped! Back of a length delivery that pitches just outside off and decks back sharply. Bairstow does not account for that much movement and pokes at it tentatively. Goes past the bat, richochets off the pads and crashes into off stump. Just the start CSK would have wanted! 9/11.6 hot knife through butter! Back of a length delivery that pitches on leg and nips away. Keeps a smidgen low and Rossouw, like he has done all innings, is trapped on the crease. Wafts at it and watches in disbelief as the ball whizzes past and pummels off stump! 9/27.6 Santner gets Shashank! Throws up the bait outside off and Shashank takes it. Tries to make it back-to-back boundaries but this is slower than the previous ball. Shashank has to reach out and cloths it in the process. Chips it to Simarjeet at long on, who does the rest! 62/312.1 taken this time! PBKS continue losing their way! Short and wide outside off. Curran, feeling the pinch of the run-rate and wanting to take on the left-arm spinner, swings at it. Laces it but does not get the requisite elevation. Straightforward catch to Santner at long off, and he was never going to drop that! 77/69.4 First ball duck for Jitesh! Simarjeet into the act straightaway!Short and wide outside off. There to be hit and Jitesh goes after it. Throws his hands at it but cannot quite get on top of the bounce. Flies off the outside edge and Dhoni gobbles it up! Simarjeet is delighted, and PBKS in a bit of strife now! 69/512.3 a massive yahoo across the line, and Ashutosh bites the dust! What is happening here in the Himalayan mountains?! Slowed up just a shade, and bowled on a length outside off. Ashutosh tries to smash it into the mountains and loses all shape. Skews off the outside edge and short third man does the rest. Dhoni applauds Jadeja's effort, and the whole of the CSK fan base will be applauding Jadeja's spell so far! 78/714.4 Harshal falls to Simarjeet! Simarjeet sticks to the hard length, and Harshal continues to swing. The ball, though, gets big on Harshal and he cannot control the pull. Goes straight up and Rizvi does well to track it from mid wicket. Completes the catch in the square leg region, and that is the eighth nail hammered into the PBKS coffin! 90/817.3 timbbeerrrrr! Speared in full on off stump. Chahar walks a mile across his stumps and gets too ambitious. Looks for the paddle but he is so far across that he cannot access the ball altogether. Fresh-air shot, and he hears the death rattle soon after! 117/9Extras9 (lb 5, w 4)TOTAL139/9 (20 Overs, RR: 6.95)Did not bat: Arshdeep SinghFall of wickets: 1-9 (Jonny Bairstow, 1.3 ov), 2-9 (Rilee Rossouw, 1.6 ov), 3-62 (Shashank Singh, 7.6 ov), 4-68 (Prabhsimran Singh, 8.6 ov), 5-69 (Jitesh Sharma, 9.4 ov), 6-77 (Sam Curran, 12.1 ov), 7-78 (Ashutosh Sharma, 12.3 ov), 8-90 (Harshal Patel, 14.4 ov), 9-117 (Rahul Chahar, 17.3 ov)
