Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders, 25th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Vaibhav Arora to Shivam Dube, FOUR, ends the innings well. There is a man very straight behind the ump - remember MSD against Pollard all those years back. And a long-off. But this is a half-volley and Shivam Dube has smashed it hard and wide of long-off to his left. CSK end on 103

Vaibhav Arora to Shivam Dube, FOUR, dug in short outside off, Shivam Dube pulls and the thick top-edge goes away to the fine-leg fence

Harshit Rana to Shivam Dube, FOUR, finally something to cheer for CSK. A boundary after 63 balls. Shivam Dube gets under this slower-ball off-cutter outside off, smashes it well wide of long-on

Vaibhav Arora to Anshul Kamboj, wide, KKR lose a review. It's short down leg, not far too down leg though, Anshul Kamboj looks to pull, misses, the third ump checks for UltraEdge and there's no bat or glove, the original call of wide stays

Vaibhav Arora to Noor Ahmad, out Caught by Varun Chakaravarthy!! Nothing going right for CSK. A back of a length delivery on off, Noor Ahmad is not in any position to pull, does, the top-edge flies and it's a very good catch by Varun running to his left at short fine-leg, stretches out his hands to his left and hangs on as he dives. Varun is not considered a great fielder but he has certainly worked on that aspect recently. Noor Ahmad c Varun Chakaravarthy b Vaibhav Arora 1(8)

Narine to Dhoni, out Lbw!! There were murmurs on UltraEdge when ball was next to bat. But there seemed to be a gap between bat and ball as well. The third ump takes multiple looks at this and then feels there's no bat. Also Dhoni immediately showed his bat to umpire Chris Gaffaney who took his time to raise the finger. Dhoni reviews but he has to go. Plays all around a fullish off-break on off, he shuffles across, plonks his front foot forward and across on off-stump, he misses the flick, the pads are pinged and it's not turning down leg. Hitting flush on leg-stump and that's three reds. Shell-shocked fans at Chepauk. It's a funereal atmposphere out there. CSK in real danger of not playing the 20 overs. Timeout taken. Dhoni lbw b Narine 1(4)

Varun Chakaravarthy to Hooda, out Caught by Vaibhav Arora!! This is terrible for CSK. But hang on - they are cheering as guess who is walking into bat - MSD! They maybe 72/7, but that's not stopping the Chepauk crowd. We have seen this movie so many times before. A simple regulation good length delivery on middle, Hooda goes on the back foot and flicks, does not keep it down, Arora at mid-wicket almost misjudged it, but dives forward and hangs on at the last moment. The impact sub goes for a duck. Hooda c Vaibhav Arora b Varun Chakaravarthy 0(4)

Narine to Jadeja, out Caught by de Kock!! Nothing shot and CSK slump to deeper trouble. It's turning away from a back of a length outside off, Jadeja pokes at it with a slip in place, sharp catch from de Kock and he immediately throws it up. Clear edge and Jadeja has to go. Wickets tumbling here. Jadeja c de Kock b Narine 0(2)

Harshit Rana to Ashwin, out Caught by Vaibhav Arora!! The move of sending Ashwin up the order does not work. Credit to KKR for bringing back a pacer and Rana has his second. He goes short and into the wicket, Ashwin drags the pull from outside off and hence does not get the connection to clear long-on, Arora settles under it and takes it calmly. CSK five down and in deep trouble.. Ashwin c Vaibhav Arora b Harshit Rana 1(7)

Narine to Tripathi, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Tripathi's struggles come to an end. Wickets in successive overs and CSK have two new batters in the middle. Tripathi never looked to get a hang of the surface. He plays all around this off-break, makes room and attempts to drive against the turn, gets beaten on the inside edge and the ball takes out the off-stump. All three spinners have a wicket each now.. Tripathi b Narine 16(22) [4s-1]

Varun Chakaravarthy to Shankar, out Caught by Moeen Ali!! Shankar's luck runs out. Moeen does not make a mistake. Varun wins the battle against his TN team-mate. He has bowled short of length this over and keeps it in that area, Shankar tries to manufacture a shot and perishes in the process. He sits down and does not quite get the sweep off the middle, straight to deep backward square and Moeen gobbles it up. Shankar c Moeen Ali b Varun Chakaravarthy 29(21) [4s-2 6s-1]

Harshit Rana to Tripathi, FOUR, neatly done! 140.4ks short of length delivery, Tripathi waits for the ball to arrive and late cuts it fine, beating third man comfortably. He just used the pace and got his first boundary

Harshit Rana to Shankar, 2 runs, Iyer has dropped a sitter. Shankar living a charmed life. In fact Iyer does not even get a hand. He points to the lights. A well-disguised slower ball and Shankar does not pick it, he chips it tamely towards mid-wicket and Iyer comes in, loses the ball and does not get anything. That should have been taken and Rana is not impressed

Moeen Ali to Shankar, SIX, just beats Ramandeep. Shankar has to win this match-up against Moeen. In fact both batters need to take on the offie. The slog sweep comes out and Shankar gets enough connection to evade a leaping Ramandeep near deep mid-wicket

Varun Chakaravarthy to Shankar, FOUR, back to back fours. Shankar knows Varun pretty well as they both play for TN. This was a flighted delivery on the stumps, Shankar offers the full face of the bat and lofts it down the ground. There was a long-on in place but he had struck that pretty straight

Varun Chakaravarthy to Shankar, FOUR, "much needed boundary after 17 deliveries," informs Deep Dasgupta on air. Fraction short and Shankar pounces, he waits and pulls it backward of square leg

Harshit Rana to Shankar, 2 runs, dropped! Narine has put down a sitter. Early let off for Shankar. Once again a batter tries to work it into the leg-side and gets a leading edge. The ball balloons towards mid-off and Narine tries to take it over his head, but makes complete mess. He came in and then took a few steps back before spilling the catch

Harshit Rana to Ravindra, out Caught by Rahane!! Both openers gone! CSK in trouble. Rana strikes with his first ball. The pressure was on Rachin, he was on 4 off 8 and needed to get going. Back of a length delivery angled across, Rachin tries to heave it across the line and gets a thick leading edge, the ball goes straight up and Rahane settles near extra cover, he was calm and composed as he completed the catch. Ravindra c Rahane b Harshit Rana 4(9)

Moeen Ali to Conway, out Lbw!! Just clipping leg-stump. Conway grimaces on seeing that on the giant screen before starting the walk back. CSK don't lose the review though. This looked like a 50-50 decision and the umpire went with the bowler. Moeen drifts this across from round the wicket, Conway bends low and misses the reverse sweep, he was struck in-line with the stumps and that was the reason umpire Parashar Joshi thought it was hitting. CSK have lost an early wicket and Moeen is justifying his selection. Conway lbw b Moeen Ali 12(11) [4s-2]

Vaibhav Arora to Conway, FOUR, full pitcher around off, right in the slot and Conway slams it through the line, straight back over Rachin and does not bother to run. Arora knows he erred in length there..

Vaibhav Arora to Ravindra, 1 run, direct hit and Rachin was in trouble. Arora goes round the wicket and follows a backing away Rachin, dug out to cover-point and Moeen has a shy at the striker's end, misses and Rachin gets in. They cross over for the overthrow

Vaibhav Arora to Conway, FOUR, Conway is off and running. First time in the over Arora offers width and he pays the price. Conway leans nicely into the drive and creams it square of the wicket. No chance for deep point
