  • Tom Curran4-0-40-1

9.15 pm Super Kings should be pleased with this score. Wankhede is never a ground where you want to defend a total, but at least they have a decent one on the board. That looked a remote possibility as they crawled to 33 for 2 in the Powerplay

"Good feeling to come back and score runs for CSK," says Raina. "We had a good start. we had a good partnership and I was just trying to be positive out there. God has been really kind. Been preparing really well. Training is a lot about your mindset and it's about how you execute it. Sam Curran and Jadeja finished it well. It's going to be very very hard to chase down. You need to keep hanging there at the start. They had Mishy and other bowlers who are really good, so you need to rotate the strike. Moeen took off really well and he helped me out there too. We have good swing bowlers in Shardul and Deepak and Sam. So we should be able to do it. Special thanks to all the fans"

Yogesh Thawrani: "I hope that Curran brothers are not going to fight after the match is over like we Indian brothers do after such overs. You know what I mean... just kidding."

Bharath: "Every team took over 100 minutes to finish their innings till now. RCB and MI took 110 minutes each. Now DC took 103 minutes."

Tulasi: "Wrote-off the CSK team even before the series began, but with 5 all-rounders and batting line-up till 9th wicket they are as good as they ever were"

Sunil Gopalagar: "Both SA and CSK have ended up with 188 today. Pakistan are slightly struggling ATM but hoping that both games go down to the wire."

Woakes to Curran, OUT, knocks him over! Woakes has delivered under pressure. CSK finish with 188. And that has a lot to do with the Curran on Curran action not so long ago. Sam tries to reprise those big hitting heroics against a slightly more experienced death bowler in Woakes and the full and straight ball has a little too much heat

SM Curran b Woakes 34 (25m 15b 4x4 2x6) SR: 226.66

Charges in for the last bowl, and doesn't release it. Ooooh. Curran's got under his compartiot's skin

Woakes to Curran, FOUR, how is he doing this?! Sammy C is 33 off 13 now, and well, this is a little bit of a gift. Length ball on leg stump and it sits up for the batsman to whip it to the square leg boundary

Curran to Curran, FOUR, 360 degree genius!. The last ball was short. So he knows this one will be full. He's waiting for it. It comes down outside off. And he lashes it over cover. Everyone there is up inside the circle. And it's an easy boundary. Sammy C in full, dangerous, glorious flow

Curran to Curran, SIX, What a shot! What a freakin shot! This is a bouncer. This is rearing up over his chest. It's only crime is being outside off as Sam clears his front leg away and pounds it over midwicket
18.3

Curran to Curran, SIX, he's got effortless power, this kid. He looks tiny out on the cricket ground. A slight little thing. But as soon as the ball is in his arc - this one a full toss on leg stump - he summons the strength of Goliath! Whack over long-on

Curran to Jadeja, 1 run, wide yorker outside off, which he inside edges. Tom races across to grab the ball, which is where short leg might have been, and immediately turns around to try and run his kid brother out. In the end, he only ends up giving an overthrow

Curran to Jadeja, FOUR, there's the boundary CSK needed to alter the momentum! Jadeja charges out. Curran pulls his length back. Jadeja doesn't care. He loads up a pull shot and places it to the right of deep midwicket

Srividya R: "Avesh Khan's spell has been nothing short of outstanding. Bowled heavy balls in tough lengths. Hope he too is in the long Q for reserve players for Team India "

Avesh Khan to Jadeja, 1 run, backs away and cuts a short ball outside off to the sweeper. Avesh Khan finishes a potentially coming of age spell. 2 for 23 off his four overs. Much more disciplined than previous seasons, and didn't seem all that carried away by his own pace, like he used to be

Avesh Khan to Curran, 1 run, full toss outside off, whacks it to long-off

There were concerns that the Capitals might miss Rabada and Nortje, especially in the death. But Curran and Khan have done a spectacular imitation of them

Curran to Curran, FOUR, he's got one back! Tom's bowled a magical over. But he ends it with one down leg side and his little brother calmly dispatches him to the fine leg boundary. Sweet timing. Sweet sweet timing.
