- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.5 got him! Faf has a go at this because he has a hint of width, but he ends up slicing it straight to short third man. Boult roar, Mumbai strike early. 1/11.3 he has toe-ended this attempted slap straight to cover point! Milne goes short of length, Moeen has width to work with but has no timing. Tiwary takes a good catch diving low to his right. Super Kings rocked early 2/21.6 Rayudu is on the floor! This one was banged in short, he thought it'll comfortably pass over but it nipped back in, kept low and smacked his elbow. Rayudu is in serious pain. The left elbow has swollen and the physio is out with his magic spray. 3/22.6 got him! Raina was never comfortable! This was full and swinging away, Raina backed away anticipating the short ball, threw his bat at that only for it to break into two pieces, the slice lobbed straight to point. Raina wouldn't want to look at this innings, ever. A good chunk of wood came off as Raina swung at that. 7/35.6 he's hit this beautifully but has picked out the lone man at deep square! It came to Boult faster than he expected but he manages to hang on. Dhoni walks off in disbelief! This was short, Dhoni swiveled nice and early and picked the bones out of this pull. 24/416.4 around the stumps. Full ball outside off. Jadeja clears the front leg and tries to hit a big shot over Bumrah's head but he's sliced it since Bumrah had taken the pace off. Pollard at long off gets under it, and pockets a catch with ease. An important 26 from Jadeja given the innings' situation when he walked in 105/519.2 holes out. But Bravo has played an excellent cameo. Bumrah goes for the length ball that angles in from wide of the crease. Bravo can't make room, looks to loft it over cover, but slices it to the fielder inside the circle 144/6Extras11 (lb 3, w 8)TOTAL156/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.8)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Faf du Plessis, 0.5 ov), 2-2 (Moeen Ali, 1.3 ov), 2-3* (Ambati Rayudu, retired not out ), 3-7 (Suresh Raina, 2.6 ov), 4-24 (MS Dhoni, 5.6 ov), 5-105 (Ravindra Jadeja, 16.4 ov), 6-144 (Dwayne Bravo, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 big appeal for lbw, massive appeal infact. Not given by Illingworth but MSD reviews immediately. Looks very close, I think he's in trouble. This is bowled full on middle and off, the ball bends back in a touch to beat the inside edge as well as he tries to work it through the leg side. Ball tracking comes back to show this would've crashed into the stumps. Chahar knew it straightaway, he didn't even bother turning back until he passed de Kock. 18/14.6 bowled him with a slower ball! Anmol looks to mow this leg side but is deceived by the knuckleball, early into the stroke and the off-stump goes for a toss. Chahar roars, Chennai Super Kings fan roar. 35/25.4 no timing and he's gone! Shardul gets into the thick of things, it's that man Faf with a top catch. Looks to loft him down the ground on the up but the ball stops on him and goes off the bottom part of the bat, Faf running back and across from mid-off takes a superb catch. 37/39.2 he's picked out cover where Raina makes no mistake! Bravo once again goes full and just outside Kishan's reach, this is a slower one, mind you, so he has to force the pace. Kishan tries to go over the infield but fails to do so and Chennai have a massive wicket. 58/413.1 trapped first ball! And Hazlewood gets Pollard with a full ball that skids in while staying low. Full on off, zipping in, hits him low on the back leg with the bat too slow to get down. Pollard reviews, which is of course his right, but this looks plumb. Ball-tracking confirms that's crashing into middle stump. Big wicket, Hazlewood makes a strong return in his second spell. 87/514.4 length ball on middle, and clipped to midwicket. Krunal wants one right away, but there was no run there. Bravo picks up and throws it to Dhoni while Krunal looks to turn and get back. Too slow to do that, Dhoni is standing right on top of the stumps, and the bails have been whipped off in a flash. They've gone upstairs for confirmation but Pandya isn't waiting. He's on his way out! 94/619.2 boundary rider at deep midwicket takes a simple one. Fullish, outside off and angling in. Milne swings the bat and it's got a decent connection. But Gowtham is a tall man on the boundary line, and pockets that comfortably 134/719.4 slower ball, full outside off stump. Chahar goes deep before bringing out the slog sweep. Struck well, but straight to the safe Raina at short midwicket! 135/8Extras4 (w 4)TOTAL136/8 (20 Overs, RR: 6.8)Did not bat: TA BoultFall of wickets: 1-18 (Quinton de Kock, 2.2 ov), 2-35 (Anmolpreet Singh, 4.6 ov), 3-37 (Suryakumar Yadav, 5.4 ov), 4-58 (Ishan Kishan, 9.2 ov), 5-87 (Kieron Pollard, 13.1 ov), 6-94 (Krunal Pandya, 14.4 ov), 7-134 (Adam Milne, 19.2 ov), 8-135 (Rahul Chahar, 19.4 ov)
