- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR14.3 holes out to deep square leg! Slower delivery dug into the track outside off stump. Gaikwad tries to muscle it over deep square leg but just does not have enough pace to work with. He is slightly early into the stroke too and slices it. Rossouw settles under it on the fence and completes the catch. Sakariya is delighted but take nothing away from this knock - this has been simply stunning! 141/118.2 Conway bites the dust too! Slower delivery on a length on off stump. This one just holds in the surface a touch and Conway does not get the timing he is after. Slices it and Aman runs to his right at long on and completes the catch comfortably! Another excellent Conway knock, though - it has set the foundation for another massive first-innings score! 195/317.6 caught at long on! Slot ball on middle and leg stump, and Dube could have hit that anywhere. But on this occasion, he swings a little too early and gets it right off the bottom of the blade. The ball spoons up towards long on, where Lalit does the rest! Dube has done his job, though! 195/2Extras10 (lb 1, nb 2, w 7)TOTAL223/3 (20 Overs, RR: 11.15)Fall of wickets: 1-141 (Ruturaj Gaikwad, 14.3 ov), 2-195 (Shivam Dube, 17.6 ov), 3-195 (Devon Conway, 18.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 put a cape on Rayudu at mid off! Full delivery just outside off stump that seems to hold in the surface. Shaw tries to drive on the up but cannot keep his stroke down. The ball arrows towards mid off, where Rayudu flies to his right and takes a superb catch! DC have been stung early! 5/118.3 holes out to long on! Excellent by Gaikwad and exceptional by Pathirana! Off-pace delivery on a full length just outside off stump. Warner, like Aman, does not pick it at all. Swings way too early and chips it towards long on. Gaikwad runs in from the fence, dives forward and hands Pathirana his second scalp of the evening! 144/74.4 Salt falls! Cutter on a length just outside off stump and Salt's struggles come to an end. He tries to force it over the off side but because of the lack of pace, he can only slice it straight to extra cover! Chahar has a smile on his face but more importantly, he has another powerplay wicket for CSK! 26/24.5 Rossouw departs first ball! One brings two for Chahar! Back of a length delivery outside off stump that sticks in the surface and just does not come on. Rossouw has a waft at it but is way too early into it, getting a thick inside edge that cannons into the stumps! 26/310.5 Dhull perishes! Fired into the track on a length outside off stump. Dhull tries to tonk it into next week but loses his shape completely. The ball also grips in the surface a touch and spins away enough to take the outside edge and nestle in Deshpande's palms at backward point! 75/413.3 Chahar gets Axar! Slower bumper outside off stump and this one just does not arrive. Axar has a swipe at it and tries to muscle it over long on but the lack of pace means that he picks out Gaikwad to perfection! DC slip further! 109/516.1 soft dismissal! Slower delivery on a full length outside off stump. Aman has not picked the variation at all and is too early into his stroke. Dangles his bat eventually and spoons it up towards extra cover, where Moeen does the rest! 131/619.3 Theekshana has his first! Full delivery that seems to swerve away from the batter late. Lalit tries to go inside out but gets it horribly wrong. Slices it and Moeen runs back from extra cover to gobble up the chance! 146/819.4 and Kuldeep bites the dust! Full delivery on middle and leg stump that nips back sharply. Kuldeep has no clue about it and plays down the wrong line. The ball thuds into the front pad and the umpire raises his finger! Kuldeep has reviewed this but he is already walking back to the pavilion! No bat involved, and as expected, the ball would have smashed into the stumps! Theekshana is now on a hat-trick! 146/9Extras11 (lb 3, w 8)TOTAL146/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.3)Did not bat: KK AhmedFall of wickets: 1-5 (Prithvi Shaw, 1.3 ov), 2-26 (Phil Salt, 4.4 ov), 3-26 (Rilee Rossouw, 4.5 ov), 4-75 (Yash Dhull, 10.5 ov), 5-109 (Axar Patel, 13.3 ov), 6-131 (Aman Khan, 16.1 ov), 7-144 (David Warner, 18.3 ov), 8-146 (Lalit Yadav, 19.3 ov), 9-146 (Kuldeep Yadav, 19.4 ov)
