    0.6 What a catch that is! Rahul Tripathi has brought the CSK fans to life in this crowd with a sensational catch. Markram tried to whip a straight ball that was angling across him towards the leg side and got a leading edge that went miles in the air over point. Tripathi tracked back at top speed and judged it to perfection, lunging to grab it as it fell over his head. Is that the inspiration CSK need tonight? 6/1
    9.3 bowled him! How many times have you seen this from Jadeja before? Skids the ball in off a good length into the right-hander from around the wicket. Wasn't short enough to pull; Marsh missed it and heard it crash into his stumps 73/3
    3.6 huge appeal for lbw turned down, Kamboj is imploring the umpire with no luck. Dhoni eventually takes the review. Kamboj bowled a much fuller ball angling into Pooran who tried to swing across the line and missed. That looks good and DRS returns three reds! That's hitting leg stump with the angle into the left-hander from around the wicket and Pooran has got to go 23/2
    19.2 that's gone miles in the air and it settles into Dhoni's safe hands, CSK making a strong finish in Lucknow. Pant took his hand off the bat as he flailed at a fuller and slightly slower ball, and could only manage a top edge that went straight up. Gone for 63 off 49 balls 158/6
    13.4 this time there's no question he's out! Stumped by the proverbial mile. Came down the pitch too early, far too early. Too easy for Jadeja to shorten his length and fire it quick and wide past the reach of the right-hander. Dhoni had so much time he could have stumped him multiple times. Oh my what now?? Badoni is waiting on the boundary edge as they wait to see if Dhoni has collected the ball in front of the stumps, in which case it would be another no-ball! Surely he can't get this lucky! He doesn't, Dhoni's gloves are fine and Jadeja is just relieved. 105/4
    19.1 full and down leg side, they try and steal a bye but Dhoni's not having it. He moves to his left and collects the ball and lobs it over the sprinting Samad to hit the stumps direct, that's lovely from MSD 158/5

    4.5 whoops, that's the end of a promising innings from Rasheed. Slower ball, short of a length and outside off. That's the first shot Rasheed has tried to hit with real power and he ended up top-edging the pull straight up. Pooran caught it safely at midwicket 52/1
    7.6 oh that looks plumb and he's been given lbw! Rachin has reviewed this but doesn't look confident. He tired to slog sweep a ball angling into him from around the wicket and missed. Wicket to wicket line. Hit on the back thigh in line with the stumps. No bottom edge or glove. Three reds, Rachin's got to go. Markram strikes in his first over! 74/2
    8.5 caught and bowled! LSG are fighting back! Tripathi hits it straight back to Bishnoi, simple catch. He was no where near the pitch of this ball, had to reach for it and ended up chipping it in the air 76/3
    12.2 straight to long on! Jadeja has struggled for momentum and now tries to smash a slightly tossed up ball over the straight boundary, doesn't get the elevation or distance and Markram judges it well on the boundary 96/4

    14.6 Rathi brings out the Hasaranga celebration as Avesh completes the catch at short third! He didn't look comfortable under that catch but managed to hold on! Shankar tried to go big down the ground with the asking rate now above ten, and he ended up slicing it in the air off the edge. 111/5
