    4.1 Leading edge and Rachin now departs. This has gone from bad to worse for CSK. Starts off with a length ball on leg stump. Rachin was looking to leg side, gets a big leading edge that goes straight up and Rahane at extra cover takes a simple catch 16/2

    3.1 Huge appeal for lbw as the umpire's finger is up. Goes a touch flatter on middle and leg. Conway goes reverse, misses and is struck in front. This looks real close on first viewing. There is no bat, on we go. Pitching in line, impact in line and the ball would have gone on to clip the outer half of the leg stump. But, because the on-field umpire had given this out, the decision stands and CSK are one down in the fourth over with not many on the board 16/1
    10.6 Beauty! A perplexed Tripathi has to walk back. Not that he looked the part all night. Tossed up on a length outside off, it rips in after landing. Not sure Tripathi picked that as he looks to make room and slap it through the off side. He is beaten on the inside and sees his off stump pegged back. Massive trouble for CSK now 65/4
    9.4 Straight down the throat of deep backward square leg. And Vijay Shankar's luck finally runs out. Was the quicker legbreak from Varun on middle and leg. He gets across his stumps and looks to go much finer. But, can only hit this as far as Moeen, who takes a comfortable catch 59/3

    12.5 Catching practice for long-on! Thought Ashwin hit that well but he did it too well for KKR's liking. Back of a length aimed in line of the stumps, he goes back to pull it over the on side. Ended up flat-batting it straight to Arora, who did not have to move an inch 70/5
    13.3 Nicked behind? Yes says the umpire and Jadeja is out of here Narine lands it on a length outside off, it spins away. Jadeja goes poking at it and feathers it behind. Whistles ring out at the Chepauk... 71/6
    14.2 Chipped to short midwicket. This is all easy for KKR. Wheels are coming off for CSK at home. Varun slips this in on a length, it skids on a touch. Hooda goes back to whip it across but spoons it towards short midwicket, where Arora dives forward and takes it. Varun did not even bother celebrating 72/7
    15.3 Huge appeal, given out lbw! Dhoni shows the bat to the umpire, and then takes the review. Tossed up on a length on off, not sure if he read it. He comes forward and right across the line and looks to turn it across. Misses it on the inner half. Is there an inside edge like Dhoni felt rightaway? Yes there is! Or not! The TV umpire sees the murmur but rules out the presence of the inside edge. Three reds on the ball-tracker and Dhoni is also out of here. Massive this! There was a tiny spike. And Dhoni walks out without any further word with the on-field umpires, something we routinely see with batters not happy with such calls. It is what it is and CSK in danger of their lowest IPL total 75/8
    17.2 A diving catch from Varun! He covers good ground to his left from short fine leg and dives to hang on to that. KKR's night getting better and better. This is dug in short from Arora, Noor goes for the tail-ender's across-the-line swipe and top edges it 79/9
