    0.4 Softie! Taken at midwicket! Rohit flicked the 139ks length ball just in front of the body. Wasn't an aggressive shot. Line was middle-stumpish, so the shot was on. There was no swing either, the bat face didn't really close. So, Rohit might have wanted to hit that straight. Ended up lobbing it to Dube. 0/1
    2.2 Nails the cut one ball, chops on next. High-fives everywhere for Khaleel, Rickelton played attractive shots but his innings is just a cameo. This was similar to the last ball, maybe a touch fuller and wider. Rickelton went for another cut, under-edged it to off stump on the bounce. 21/2
    4.4 Jacks holes out to extra cover, big smile on Ashwin's face as he high-fives Dhoni. Was a carrom ball that seemed to swing in, finished around top of middle. Jacks tried a powerplay shot, just lift it over the infield while in the crease. Playing on the up didn't work out. Off the bottom of the bat, Dube hobbles back a couple of steps and takes a simple catch. 36/3
    10.3 age 43 but reflexes of a 23-year old! Dhoni has whipped the bails off in a jiffy like he's been doing that for 30 years. He probably has. Noor turns this one away from SKY, he ventures out of the crease to drive down the ground and doesn't get close at all, and Dhoni takes the bails off in a flash. Easy decision for the third umpire 87/4
    12.6 trapped right in front and given straightaway! Another one bites the dust and this is a big wicket. That is plumb unless Tilak has edged it, and he has reviewed it. UltraEdge on the screen now, flat line as ball passes the bat, and ball-tracking is taking time. Here it is, turning in from outside off, impact in line, going on to hit middle and that's three reds! 96/6
    12.4 the pressure mounts and Minz departs. He goes downtown for the wrong'un, doesn't get much distance on that and Jadeja will take those 10 times out of 10 at long-off 95/5
    16.1 bowled around his legs and Naman Dhir can barely believe it! Fourth wicket for Noor Ahmad and what a way to get that fourth. Pitches it just outside leg, Dhir goes for the sweep, misses the sweep, and it's the wrong'un that goes on to rattle leg stump. Dhir looks back at the stumps and then towards the bowler. Did that really happen? 118/7
    17.6 135.2kmh, this ain't a slower one as Santner misses this one on the stumps, appeal for lbw and CSK are interested in this. Is it high? Because it was a short of length ball. They review the not out decision. No bat there, and there you go - ball-tracking says that's hitting top of middle! Excellent review 128/8

    18.6 skied down the ground and the captain settles under it, pouches it easily. Khaleel ends his quota with his third strike, makes it 3 for 29. Boult backed away for a big hit but he didn't get much on that slower ball that was short, sent it quite high down the ground which Gaikwad settled under easily 141/9

    1.4 Bouncer. Gloved to the keeper. Chahar is animated with his celebration. Just 130ks but that looked quicker, angling in at the batter's left shoulder, he swivelled and tried to help it fine. Looked like he was done for pace. Surprise change of length hand MI their first. 11/1
    7.5 Maiden wicket? Yep, taken close to the straight boundary. Big hug from SKY to Vignesh. Ball was in the slot, fullis around off, there for the step-hit. Ruturaj went for the lofted straight drive, looked to have gotten it off the bottom of the bat. 78/2
    9.4 Vignesh has two caught down at the straight boundary. This was brave. Bowled at just 80ks despite Dube looking for boundary hits previously. Was a fullish ball at the stumps, Dube took a forward stride and launched a straight drive, gets caught close to the ropes. Another big hug from the skipper 95/3
    11.4 that's the third wicket for Vignesh Puthur! Is he taking down CSK single-handedly? That was a tricky catch, taken nicely in the end after it looked like Chahar misjudged it in the deep. Hooda got under the ball nicely with a big sweep, but he played it high from bottom up and Chahar was a few yards inside the boundary, putting in a dive in the end to get both hands to it 107/4
    14.1 swings and misses, loses his off stump! Straight on off stump, no tricks off the hand or the pitch, and Curran swings wildly and misses it completely. A scratchy little innings comes to an end 116/5
    18.4 a horrible mix up and CSK lose one more! this was flicked to midwicket and Jadeja went for it, Ravindra said no but Jadeja came a long way down and seeing that Ravindra ventured out too, almost crossing each other. The bails are taken off at the keeper's end, both batters almost face to face halfway down the pitch but it's confirmed they didn't cross and Jadeja is gone 152/6
