Shardul Thakur: "It was quite hot. The whole idea was to bowl at the right spot and extract something with cutters out of this pitch. These afternoon games are tricky. Nobody can tell what's the right total. Too early to say anything right now [about whether CSK will be happy with this target]."

3.52 pm All said and done, this is a good total on this pitch. Chennai kept at it with wickets, but a delightful little cameo from Dinesh Karthik has definitely helped the KKR cause. Faf du Plessis had an eventful day on the field. A close call for a catch, a stunner, and nearly injuring himself in a similar manner to what happened to him the last time he was here. But should be ok.

Hazlewood to Rana, FOUR, full, smacked down the ground. Thakur and du Plessis go for the ball, converging from long-off and long-on, respectively. Thakur has tried to skip it back, but just misses, and du Plessis overruns it a touch!

Here's the last ball then
