Unadkat to Hooda, out Caught by Abhishek Sharma!! Fourth catch for Abhishek. A half-volley outside off, Hooda lofts but does not get the power to clear long-off. Straight to the man. CSK are bowled out for 154. Hooda c Abhishek Sharma b Unadkat 22(21) [4s-1 6s-1]

Unadkat to Hooda, FOUR, good start by Hooda. Full outside off, he shuffles across well outside off and then scoops it to the fine-leg fence, knew where the field was

Harshal Patel to Hooda, no ball, SIX, the slower-ball has slipped out and is a full-toss over the waist, down leg, Hooda loses his bottom-hand but this has sailed well over fine-leg. Crucial runs these

Harshal Patel to Noor Ahmad, out Caught by Shami!! Wickets keep falling. A slower-ball which is a low full-toss on middle, Noor Ahmad swipes to leg, the thick top-edge loops to short third man and Shami backtracks to take a simple catch. Noor Ahmad c Shami b Harshal Patel 2(3)

Cummins to Anshul Kamboj, out Caught by Klaasen!! Wild slog and gone. Anshul Kamboj shadow-practices the shot after edging it behind. No use that. Length delivery outside off, Kamboj tries to access the leg-side but it's an agricultural hoick, thick outside-edge and easy for Klaasen. No impact with bat from Kamboj. Anshul Kamboj c Klaasen b Cummins 2(4)

Harshal Patel to Dhoni, out Caught by Abhishek Sharma!! No finishing from the finisher tonight. Harshal Patel finishes off Dhoni. He has a good record against Dhoni and it only improves after this dismissal. Width outside off, short of length and Dhoni cuts straight to the fielder at backward point. Abhishek makes no mistake. Dhoni was trying to place it instead of hitting it harder. Couldn't keep it down too. He has a wry smile as he shakes his head on the way back. Meanwhile SRH's owner - Kavya Maran is out of her seat and unable to control her wide smile as she claps and cheers. Dhoni c Abhishek Sharma b Harshal Patel 6(10) [4s-1]

Zeeshan Ansari to Dhoni, FOUR, in the gap as Dhoni gives the charge again, this is a googly, swung away to the deep square-leg fence, which is vacant

Unadkat to Shivam Dube, out Caught by Abhishek Sharma!! Shivam Dube goes for the big hit and perishes. Was fullish on off, he gets forward to loft and does not get the middle of the bat, more height than elevation and he holes out to long-on. Unadkat roars in delight with his veins almost popping out of his neck. He is pumped as he does a double fist-pump too. Important wicket as Dube had the ability to finish well.

Harshal Patel to Brevis, out Caught by Kamindu Mendis!! Needed something special to stop this man and Kamindu has pulled off one of the catches of the season at long-off. This is a half-volley outside off, Brevis absolutely belts the loft flat and it is curving away all the time, Kamindu though is ambidextrous as you saw when he was bowling, he goes with both hands - more like a football goalie trying to get it wide of the post. Here he shows great hands and on the full-stretch dive he manages to hang on. And when he landed ensures he has the technique not to let the elbows hit the ground hard which would have allowed the ball to go down. Gets up and just celebrates with a wide smile. Cummins is thrilled as are his SRH mates, the SRH skipper first to lift and hug Kamindu. Meanwhile Brevis is stunned and gets a pat on the back from the CSK colleagues on the way back. Brevis c Kamindu Mendis b Harshal Patel 42(25) [4s-1 6s-4]

Harshal Patel to Brevis, SIX, that is an extraordinary shot. Was a slower-ball off-cutter dug in short outside off, Brevis generates so much power on the cut, was on his tiptoes and forehands it, it flies over sweeper cover and all the way. How did he generate so much power from there? Such powerful forearms and that is some shot from the very talented Brevis

Kamindu Mendis to Brevis, SIX, third six of the over. It's tossed up full outside off, Brevis gets forward and to the pitch of the ball, lofts powerfully and it flies into the crowd at long-off, suddenly CSK have momentum

Kamindu Mendis to Brevis, SIX, slower but short on middle, Brevis goes on the back foot and pulls well, had so much time to handle that, flies over deep mid-wicket
11.1
6
Kamindu Mendis to Brevis, SIX, that's Brevis at his best. The no-look or the head-down no-look loft, makes room outside the leg-stump, it's tossed up full on leg-stump, he belts the loft way back over long-on, was too full and in the slot

Shami to Shivam Dube, FOUR, now to the right of extra-cover and four more. A slower-ball off-cutter but full and wide outside off, crashed hard off the front foot and it beats the diving extra-cover fielder

Shami to Shivam Dube, FOUR, Shami misses the yorker, is a low full-toss on off, Shivam Dube gets forward and drives wide of the diving mid-off to his right, there was not much gap between extra-cover and mid-off and he threaded it nicely. Shami tried to angle that in from round the wicket but failed to land the ball

Kamindu Mendis to Jadeja, out Bowled!! Knocks him over with a beauty. Slider from Kamindu Mendis. The ball skids on and keeps low to beat Jadeja all ends up on the back foot. He was looking to work leg-side, but playing on the back foot against a ball that kept low isn't something he would want to watch on the replays. Jadeja b Kamindu Mendis 21(17) [4s-1 6s-1]

Zeeshan Ansari to Jadeja, SIX, oh dear! Define rubbing salt into the wounds? This is it. Dropped earlier off his bowling and now Jadeja takes full toll of the flighted delivery. Picks it from outside off and clubs it over long-on for a 75-metre maximum
7
Zeeshan Ansari to Jadeja, 1 run, Harshal Patel drops a dolly. Chepauk go bonkers on expected lines. A miscued loft from Jadeja and Harshal had all the time in the world to settle under that at long-off. He took it a bit too casually perhaps? Got both hands below his chest, but failed to hang on...

Zeeshan Ansari to Brevis, FOUR, hitting in the V is Dewald Brevis' bread and butter. Drag down outside off, Brevis leant on the back foot and smacked it back over the bowler's head with plenty of bottom hand power
6
Cummins to Brevis, 1 run, yorker length full delivery on off, Brevis gets an inside edge onto his boot that rolls wide of cover for a quick single

Cummins to Ayush Mhatre, out Caught by Ishan Kishan!! Is it the pace? The length? Ayush Mhatre looked really good against short balls, but when it's full he couldn't get his timing right on most occasions. 143ks full in the corridor outside off, Ayush Mhatre tries to drill it straight and ends up chipping it off the toe end to the right of mid-off. Ishan Kishan with a tumbling effort there. Ayush Mhatre perhaps has a weakness? Lack of feet movement? Ayush Mhatre c Ishan Kishan b Cummins 30(19) [4s-6]

Harshal Patel to Jadeja, FOUR, skiddy length delivery in the channel outside off, Jadeja looks to punch on the up and gets a thick outside edge that flies past the fielder at short third to his right

Harshal Patel to Sam Curran, out Caught by Aniket Verma!! All three balls so far, Harshal Patel has gone wide of the crease. He opts for the slower short ball outside off, challenging Sam Curran to go big on the leg-side. Curran plays the pull, but loses shape and timing while at it. Skews off the thick inside half and picks out Aniket at deep mid-wicket. Sam Curran c Aniket Verma b Harshal Patel 9(10) [4s-1]

Unadkat to Ayush Mhatre, FOUR, pace on or pace off, he is going to play only one way. 131ks full toss angled in towards off, Ayush Mhatre stays leg-side of the delivery and slices the drive past the diving left hand of cover
3.3
4
Unadkat to Ayush Mhatre, FOUR, the kind of intent this boy is showing, looks like he will have a long rope next season for CSK. Unadkat bowled the slower into-the-pitch short ball from round the wicket and Ayush Mhatre made use of the width to slap it back over the bowler's head

Shami to Sam Curran, FOUR, Shami has been relatively short this over. Sam Curran had enough time on the back foot to meet this wide delivery and he has smashed the pull in the gap between mid-on and mid-wicket
2.3

Shami to Ayush Mhatre, FOUR, Ayush Mhatre is dealing in boundaries. He was prepared for a short ball and had his front leg cleared even before the ball had arrived. There was enough width as well and swatted away nonchalantly over mid-wicket
2
4
Cummins to Ayush Mhatre, FOUR, just enough bat. Just over the fielder. The percentages in T20 cricket. The length was a shade fuller and Ayush Mhatre just lifted the drive effortlessly, beating the leaping fielder at mid-off to his right

Cummins to Ayush Mhatre, FOUR, no respect for Pat Cummins. 140ks fuller and wider, Ayush Mhatre is all hands as he clobbers this in the gap between backward point and cover

Shami to Ayush Mhatre, FOUR, off the mark with a boundary is Ayush Mhatre. A bit too much width on this 133ks back of a length delivery, a quick jump onto the back foot and slapped away past the diving fielder at cover to his left

Shami to Shaik Rasheed, out Caught by Abhishek Sharma!! Gone first ball. Classic Mohammed Shami. The SRH fans would be screaming their lungs out asking "Where was this Shami all season"? Lovely seam presentation. Shades of S Sreesanth in that. Seam-up delivery that curls in and swings away in the outside off corridor, Shaik Rasheed falls into the trap with a hard-hands-punch and the healthy outside edge carries to the right of lone slip. Even the great Sunny Gavaskar was amazed by the seam presentation on that delivery. Shaik Rasheed c Abhishek Sharma b Shami 0(1)
