12.1Rashid Khan to Anshul Kamboj. out, OUT! SLICED UP AND TAKEN! Rashid ends Kamboj's fun. A conventional leg break outside off, on the shorter side. Anshul Kamboj does not move his feet at all and throws his bat at it to whack it over covers, but ends up slicing it in the air.

10.4Rashid Khan to Anshul Kamboj. no run, Flat on a good length, spins in. Kamboj presses forward and inside edges it onto his pad. 

The Shivam Dube show is over now. Anshul Kamboj is the new batter in.

10.3Rashid Khan to Shivam Dube. out, OUT! MISTIMED AND CAUGHT! Rashid unleashes his craft this time around and fishes out Dube. He bowls it wide outside off, and pulls back the length a bit as well. Shivam Dube is neither on the back foot, nor on the front foot. Tries to work it away staying midway and ends up chipping it in the air over cover. Shubman Gill shows his acrobatics as he backtracks a bit and dives to his left and takes an absolute stunner. A breezy 47 from Dube. CSK are 116/6, needing 114 runs.

10.2Rashid Khan to Shivam Dube. SIX, SIX! High and handsome! A slot ball from Rashid, on leg. Dube clears the front leg, gets down on a knee and slog sweeps it massively over deep mid-wicket for a huge six. This brings up the 50-run partnership between Dube and Brevis.

10.1Rashid Khan to Dewald Brevis. 1 run, On middle and leg, on a length. Brevis punches it down to the right of Rashid for a single.

Halfway through the chase. The Titans have the upper hand, but CSK are not going down without a fight here. There is not much difference in terms of runs between the two sides. CSK are 109/5, and GT were 111/0. Just that CSK have lost too many wickets en route. The Super Kings need 121 from 60 balls. Spin introduced with Rashid Khan.

9.6Jason Holder to Dewald Brevis. 1 run, In the blockhole, on middle, Dewald Brevis jams it down the pitch. Jason Holder gets down on his follow-through, but the ball parries off his right hand behind. They cross. 18 runs off the over!

9.4Jason Holder to Shivam Dube. SIX, SIX! Into the stands! Back of a length and on middle, sits up nicely for the tall man. Shivam Dube pounces on it in a flash and whacks it over the deep mid-wicket fence for another biggie.

9.3Jason Holder to Shivam Dube. no run, Excellent yorker, on middle, Shivam Dube cannot do anything about that and digs it out to short cover.

100 runs for CSK 9.2Jason Holder to Shivam Dube. FOUR, FOUR! 100 UP FOR CSK! Short of a length and outside off, Shivam Dube gets his hands high up to get over the bounce and cuts it over backward point for a boundary. 10 runs off the first two balls, and Dube will look to convert this into a big one.

30 runs for Shivam Dube 9.1Jason Holder to Shivam Dube. SIX, SIX! Shivam Dube is playing a blinder here! Fuller delivery, on middle, in the slot. Dube clears his front leg away, uses his long levers to tonk it over the long on fence for a biggie.

STRATEGIC BREAK! CSK are progressing at 10s an over, but they have lost too many wickets in the process to keep that intent flowing. Also, this is their last recognised batting pair and they still require 139 runs from 66 balls. Though Shivam Dube has been proactive, they will have to keep their foot down as the asking rate is 12.64 right now. GT, meanwhile, will look to wrap this up quickly and boost the net run rate to make their case stronger for a top-two finish. Jason Holder (1-0-9-0) to continue after the break.

8.6Arshad Khan to Shivam Dube. 1 run, Pitched up and angling into the leg side, Shivam Dube works it through mid-wicket for one. A longish over from Arshad and he goes for 19 runs from it.

8.3Arshad Khan to Shivam Dube. wide, 1 run, WIDE! A bouncer but too high for the batter, Shivam Dube ducks under it. Wided.

Mohammed Siraj runs to the bowler and has a quick word with Arshad, putting his hand on his shoulder. Good to resume.

8.2Arshad Khan to Shivam Dube. FOUR, FOUR! Up and over! Overcorrection from Arshad Khan as he bowls this full, around off. Shivam Dube stays put in his crease, extends his arms and thumps it over mid off for a boundary.

8.1Arshad Khan to Shivam Dube. SIX, SIX! SMACKED! Short of a length and well outside off, Shivam Dube accepts the width on offer and slaps it over the deep point fence for a biggie.

7.6Jason Holder to Shivam Dube. 1 run, PUT DOWN! A heroic effort, but it just does not stick! Fuller delivery and on off, Shivam Dube thumps it aerially towards mid off. Shubman Gill leaps high and tries to grab it with his outstretched right hand but the ball just hits his fingertips and pops behind him. A single taken.

7.1Jason Holder to Shivam Dube. 2 runs, Pitched up and around off, Shivam Dube lofts it over extra covers for a couple of runs.

All going GT's way now. They were spotless with the bat, and have been really sharp in the field as well. Shivam Dube walks in at number 7.

5 wickets down for CSK. Out batsman is Kartik Sharma 6.6Arshad Khan to Kartik Sharma. out, OUT! KARTIK SHARMA IS RUN OUT! Overpitched delivery, on off, Sharma drills it towards mid off. His weight is on the back foot, so he is a bit late to set off for the run. Shubman Gill picks up the ball, takes him and hits the bullseye at the bowler's end with Kartik putting in a desperate dive to save himself. Gill already signals Out, but the third umpire is called in. The replay shows that when Kartik puts the dive in, his bat pops up in the air and stays there when the ball hits the stumps. He is disappointed but has to walk back now. CSK lose half their side.

Direct hit at the bowling end by Gill. The GT skipper thinks Kartik is short. The third umpire is called in and the replays confirm it. Kartik's bat pops up as he attempts to slide it in with a dive and he has to go.

6.5Arshad Khan to Kartik Sharma. FOUR, FOUR! Put away! Fuller delivery, shaping into the pads this time, Kartik Sharma brings his wrists into play and whips it over mid-wicket for a boundary.

6.1Arshad Khan to Dewald Brevis. 1 run, Low full toss, on off, Dewald Brevis drills it to mid off for a single.

That's the end of the Powerplay. CSK did manage to smash 58 runs, but they have lost far too many wickets than they would have liked. CSK still need 172 runs from 84 balls. And now then, Arshad Khan is brought into the attack. He replaces Mohammed Siraj.

5.6Kagiso Rabada to Kartik Sharma. FOUR, FOUR! Gets it away! Hits the deck hard and on off, Kartik Sharma rides the bounce well, opens the bat face and just stomps it onto the ground. He finds the gap between short third and backward point for a boundary. CSK are 58/4 at the end of the Powerplay!

5.1Kagiso Rabada to Matthew Short. out, OUT! CAUGHT! Kagiso Rabada gets among the wickets now. He hits the deck hard, on middle, gets it to angle in just a bit. Matthew Short uses his feet and tries to smack it down the ground, but gets it from the inside half of the bat.  He does not get the elevation as the ball lobs up towards mid on, where Prasidh Krishna takes a simple catch. CSK are 51/4, chasing 230 runs.

50 runs for CSK 4.6Mohammed Siraj to Kartik Sharma. 2 runs, Full and outside off, shaping away a shade bit. Kartik Sharma gets on the front foot and perhaps tries to play it a lot straighter down the ground, but the ball moves away and he ends up slicing it over cover. But luckily for him, the ball lands safely in the deep for two runs. 50 UP FOR CSK!

4.5Mohammed Siraj to Kartik Sharma. no run, Oh, nearly dragged on! Nip-backer on a length, just outside off. Kartik presses back and tries to punch it away, but gets an inside edge and the ball bounces over the stumps to the keeper.

3.6Kagiso Rabada to Matthew Short. FOUR, FOUR! Top shot! Rabada goes fuller and on middle and leg with the ball reversing a bit. Matthew Short plants the front foot across, brings his bat in front of the pad and flicks it nicely through mid-wicket for a boundary.

3 wickets for Mohammed Siraj. Mohammed Siraj is on a roll. 3 wickets down for CSK. Out batsman is Urvil Patel 2.4Mohammed Siraj to Urvil Patel. out, OUT! HIGH IN THE AIR AND CAUGHT! Siraj has his third wicket and GT are right on top. That hung up there for an eternity. Length ball, straighter on off and middle. Urvil stays rooted and looks to swipe across the line. Swings hard and gets a top edge. The ball balloons high into the night sky behind square on the leg side. Prasidh Krishna at deep backward square gets underneath it and takes a superb catch under by planting his left knee into the ground to balance himself up. Chennai are in deep trouble now with 3 down on just 29. They need 201 more from 104 balls.

2.3Mohammed Siraj to Urvil Patel. no run, GT lose a review! Sharp bouncer by Siraj, on the leg stump line, climbing on the batter at shoulder height. Urvil gets a bit inside the line to play the pull shot but misses and the ball flies back to Buttler. A slight appeal for caught behind, but not given. And it is actually Washington Sundar from point who is very convinced. But not such confidence from Buttler or the bowler either. However, Gill takes the review eventually. UltraEdge shows that flat line. Urvil stays.

Is that out? Jos Buttler and the fielders near him suggest they have heard something, and Shubman Gill sends it upstairs. However, there is a flat line on the UltraEdge with ball nowhere near the bat.

CSK skipper's fun is cut short now. Urvil Patel comes out to the middle.

2.2Mohammed Siraj to Ruturaj Gaikwad. out, OUT! BOWLED'EM! Siraj strikes back strongly and unleashes his signature celebration. Siraj bashes the ball on a length, and gets it to nip back in on off. Ruturaj Gaikwad lines up for hitting it across and over the leg side, but the ball lands and stays a tad low on the bounce. Beats his inside edge and crashes into the stumps behind. A mini cameo from Gaikwad comes to an end. CSK ar 29/2, needing 201 runs.

2.1Mohammed Siraj to Ruturaj Gaikwad. SIX, SIX! DEEP INTO THE CROWD! Offers a half-volley, on middle, does Siraj. Ruturaj Gaikwad gets the front foot across and plays the pick-up shot. Keeps his head still and dumps it behind deep square leg for a huge six.

1.6Kagiso Rabada to Matthew Short. no run, Straightens from a good length, outside off. Short punches off the back foot to cover-point. 13 runs from the first Rabada over. CSK need 207 runs from 108 balls.

1.5Kagiso Rabada to Matthew Short. SIX, SIX! That's a fine, fine shot by the Aussie! An in-angler from Rabada, full on the pads. Matthew Short picks it up nicely and whips it comfortably over deep square leg for an 85-meter long six into the crowd.

1.4Kagiso Rabada to Matthew Short. no run, Skiddy delivery, on a length at 149.3 kph. Short is hurried on the pull shot and toe ends it to mid on.

0.5Mohammed Siraj to Ruturaj Gaikwad. SIX, SIX! Not exactly where he intended, but he will take it. Siraj fires it full and outside off. Gaikwad shuffles a long way across to scoop it over the leg side, but gets a thick outisde edge and it flies over deep third for a six.

0.4Mohammed Siraj to Ruturaj Gaikwad. FOUR, FOUR! Gloriously played! Serves it full and around off, does Siraj. Not much movement this time around and Gaikwad leans on it, pumping it over mid off for a boundary to get CSK and himself underway in the chase.

0.3Mohammed Siraj to Ruturaj Gaikwad. no run, Angles in and around middle and leg, Gaikwad flicks the full ball to mid-wicket.

0.2Mohammed Siraj to Ruturaj Gaikwad. no run, Pitched full and on middle, shaping away gently. Ruturaj drives it straight to mid off.

You can't ask for a better start than that one. Ruturaj Gaikwad walks out to bat at number 3.

0.1Mohammed Siraj to Sanju Samson. out, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Perfect start for Siraj and GT. Outswinging delivery, full in length, outside off. Sanju Samson's feet go nowhere and he tries to thrash it away through the off side, but only gets a thin outside edge to the keeper. Jos Buttler gathers it safely without much fuss. A forgetful evening for Samson as he is gone on a golden duck. CSK in trouble from the first ball as they are 0/1, chasing 230.
