- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.5 caught in the deep this time! That's the second superb catch for Mphaka this evening. It was a full delivery, in the slot, and Mhatre wanted to hit it for six down the ground. He made contact with the bottom of his bat though and didn't time it well. Mphaka came running in off the boundary and dived forward to take a low catch 68/31.4 pops a simple catch to mid-off! Conway came rushing down the pitch and was in an awkward position to play the short of a length ball at his body, he tried to chip it on the up and managed to only get it as far as Parag inside the circle 12/11.6 two in the over for Yudhvir! And superbly caught on the edge up the circle by Mphaka pedalling backwards at mid-on. Hard length on a wicket to wicket line, Patel tried to slog down the ground, the bat turned in his hand as he made contact, Mphaka moved back quickly to take that above his head 12/26.3 lofted straight to the fielder at deep midwicket, Ashwin's cameo is over. He stepped out of his crease and swung across the line, picking out Hetmyer at deep midwicket 70/47.4 another one bites the dust. A tame ball, a tame shot, a tame dismissal. Full ball on the pads, the bat turns in Jadeja's hands as he flicks, and he hits it straight to midwicket 78/513.4 bowled him! Brevis' bright and entertaining innings ends with a rather ungainly hoick across the line to a full ball and an inside edge on to the stumps ... the crowd erupts because it's Dhoni time. 137/619.1 low full toss, Dube smashes it, flat and hard but not high enough, Jaiswal is on the long-on boundary and he catches it reverse-cup as he tumbles backwards, RR have pulled CSK back big time 180/719.5 sharp catch at short fine leg! Deshpande is stunned at what he's done. Dhoni got down on one knee to paddle sweep a full toss and he hit it really hard, but flat and straight at Deshpande, who reached up and caught it over his head, tumbling backwards with the momentum of the ball 185/8Extras16 (lb 3, nb 1, w 12)TOTAL187/8 (20 Overs, RR: 9.35)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Devon Conway, 1.4 ov), 2-12 (Urvil Patel, 1.6 ov), 3-68 (Ayush Mhatre, 5.5 ov), 4-70 (Ravichandran Ashwin, 6.3 ov), 5-78 (Ravindra Jadeja, 7.4 ov), 6-137 (Dewald Brevis, 13.4 ov), 7-180 (Shivam Dube, 19.1 ov), 8-185 (MS Dhoni, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.4 hits off stump and Kamboj is pumped! Hard length angling across the left-hander from over the wicket, Jasiwal swipes across the line and gets a thin inside edge that drags the ball back on to off stump 37/113.6 oh dear, RR what are you doing ... Suryavanshi aims for the road outside the ground on the leg side, but his huge heave results in a top edge that goes high in the air towards point, where Jadeja settles under the catch 138/313.2 Samson's holed out to Brevis on the long on boundary! Another carrom ball from Ashwin, Samson went back and aimed down the ground, it skidded on to him a bit quicker and he mis-hit it this time, Brevis caught it right on the boundary 135/215.4 another twist in the chase as Noor bowls a ripper! He slants the ball across the right-hander from over the wicket and then spins it back in after pitching outside off stump, Parag pushes out at it and gets an inside edge back on to his stumps 158/4Extras8 (nb 1, w 7)TOTAL188/4 (17.1 Overs, RR: 10.95)Fall of wickets: 1-37 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 3.4 ov), 2-135 (Sanju Samson, 13.2 ov), 3-138 (Vaibhav Suryavanshi, 13.6 ov), 4-158 (Riyan Parag, 15.4 ov)

Chopra on Suryavanshi: 'There is some amount of maturity already'
Sanjay Bangar is hoping Vaibhav Suryavanshi can handle "all the hype and the hoopla that will surround him" after his smashing debut in the IPL
CSK's transition 'will develop on its own' even if Dhoni leaves, says Bangar
Aakash Chopra calls CSK's batting order "a stopgap arrangement", while Stephen Fleming says they have been "just patching innings up, rather than constructing good innings"
Mhatre, Brevis shine but RR restrict CSK to 187
Madhwal and Yudhvir took three each wickets each as RR found reverse swing in the back half
