- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.4 leading-edged to Hardik at point. Fuller side of a good length on middle, no real movement in the air or off the seam. Gaikwad aims leg side, but closes the bat-face a touch early and spoons a catch to the infielder 4/111.5 Golden arm: Pollard. Fine leg is inside the circle, so Faf goes for the ramp, but picks out Bumrah. Faf shuffles across off even before Pollard delivers this offcutter. The lack of pace does Faf in. He miscues it in the air. Bumrah lunges forward, snatches at the ball, and just about hangs onto it 116/310.5 Bumrah comes back and takes out Moeen! Dug in short, slanting into Moeen from around the wicket, cramping Moeen. The batter aims to lean back and ramp it over de Kock. It's quick and close to his body, so he can only guide it into the gloves of the keeper 112/211.6 Pollard wheels away in celebration. Catch him if you can. 107ks cutter outside off. Raina aims to manufacture some pace of his own, but does not middle this. Heaved to Krunal at deep midwicket. Raina holes out for 2 in his 200th IPL match 116/4Extras10 (lb 2, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL218/4 (20 Overs, RR: 10.9)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Ruturaj Gaikwad, 0.4 ov), 2-112 (Moeen Ali, 10.5 ov), 3-116 (Faf du Plessis, 11.5 ov), 4-116 (Suresh Raina, 11.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.4 Spooned back to Moeen. Make that three wickets in three overs for CSK. Nicely bowled, dipping into a fuller length on middle, de Kock closes the bat-face early and chips a leading-edge back to Moeen 81/37.4 Thakur strikes in his first over to have Rohit holing out to Gaikwad at sweeper cover. Slightly back of a length and around off stump, Rohit aims to pump it over extra-cover. Instead, he slices it squarer to Gaikwad 71/18.4 Two in two overs for CSK. Jadeja has Surya nicking off this time. Pushed through on a length, 99ks and spins away just enough outside off. Surya chucks his hands at the ball and nicks it behind to Dhoni who snags a low catch 77/216.3 Curran: makes things happen. Into the blockhole from wide of the crease, plunges at Krunal and pings the boot bang in front. Great execution under pressure from Curran 170/418.4 Faf slides to his right from wide long-off and holds onto this catch. Is this game still on? Curran errs with his length once again. He offers up a slot ball outside off, Hardik aims for a lofted drive, but only slices it in the air 202/518.6 Lapped straight to Thakur running to his left from deep square leg. Low full-toss on middle, fine leg is inside the circle, so Neesham looks to scoop it over that infielder. Instead, he hits it squarer to Thakur 203/6Extras8 (w 8)TOTAL219/6 (20 Overs, RR: 10.95)Fall of wickets: 1-71 (Rohit Sharma, 7.4 ov), 2-77 (Suryakumar Yadav, 8.4 ov), 3-81 (Quinton de Kock, 9.4 ov), 4-170 (Krunal Pandya, 16.3 ov), 5-202 (Hardik Pandya, 18.4 ov), 6-203 (James Neesham, 18.6 ov)
