Shorter in length outside off, Yuvraj once again tries to cut but the ball takes the faintest of edges and goes into the mitts of Dhoni.

D Bravo to K Nair, OUT! Jadeja takes this one and Nair Holes out! He just had to go for it and perishes in the attempt to clear the ropes. It is the slower ball again on middle, Nair tries to clear the deep mid-wicket fence but does not get the desired distance. Jadeja there settles under it and takes it. So this is an excellent last over till now, 1,0,1,WK.

S Thakur to R Ashwin, OUT! The short ball does the trick. A bumper on middle, Ashwin goes back early and goes for the pull. He still could not get on top of the bounce as the gets a top edge. It goes high up in the air towards the leg side. Dhoni calls for it and completes the catch. So Ashwin walks back after hitting a maximum. Can they stop Punjab from crossing 200?

M Sharma to S Watson, OUT! Soft, soft dismissal there! Watson will be kicking himself for playing that shot. The slower ball on leg stump, 106.1 kph, Watson tries to nudge it on the leg side but he gets a top edge which balloons towards short fine leg. Sran there positions himself under it and takes a very easy catch. An early wicket for Punjab and they are ecstatic. The power-house Watson walks back early. Two boundaries and a wicket in this over.

A Tye to M Vijay, OUT! In the air... taken! Tye strikes off his first ball and the bowling change has worked wonders. It is the slower ball which does the trick. Vijay comes down the track and tries to go over covers. He is way early into the shot and only manages to sky it towards mid off. Sran there settles under it and takes it easily. Not easy when it goes so high up in the air. So Vijay's short stay out there ends and Chennai are in a spot of bother here. 159 more needed.

B Sran to A Rayudu, OUT! Direct hit and surprise, surprise it is Ashwin who scores the bull's eye. Look at him, he is pumped up, running around in celebration. Rayudu departs courtesy a run out. The last thing Chennai wanted. He comes down the track and pushes it towards covers. Rayudu wants a run but is sent back by Dhoni. He is half-way down the track and now turns to get back. Ashwin collects the ball and hits the stumps at the striker's end and Rayudu is well short. End of the 57-run stand and the well-set Rayudu falls one short of a 50. 85 more needed, Chennai remain on the back foot.

R Ashwin to Sam Billings, OUT! Excellent use of the review by Ashwin, he was adamant that was pad and he has got it spot on. Billings walks across and goes for the sweep shot to a very full delivery on midde. It seemed to have taken the bat as it races away to the fine leg fence and the umpire feels the same as he signals a boundary. Ashwin though goes to his keeper and has a chat and then reviews. Time for the replays and it shows no bat involved and three reds. The on-field call has to be overturned and Billings has been given his marching orders. A huge wicket, the hero of Chennai's last game is walking back and the woes deepen further for the visitors.

A Tye to R Jadeja, OUT! Jadeja holes out! He had to go for it. Tye bowls a full ball on off, Ravindra tries to go big but only manages to hit it up in the air towards extra cover. The skipper, Ashwin there settles under it and takes it. The cameo from Jadeja comes to an end, 35 from 10 needed.
