Mukumthan to N Jagadeesan, SIX, ah! Just had enough wood on it. Oh wait! Was that a drop? Will go down as one. Length ball on the stumps, Jagadeesan clears his front leg and decides to go over long-on. Made decent contact, but he would have had his heart in his mouth when Yo Mahesh was settling near the rope. The long-on fielder had his hands stretched above his head to gather it. In the end, allows it to burst through his palms

R Alexander to Venkataraman, out Bowled!! Gone! This is smart bowling. The previous one was looped up outside off and Alexander follows it up with an arm ball that just goes straight with the angle from round the wicket. Venkataraman is hanging back to play the cut shot and misses it completely. Hears the death rattle and has to walk back to the pavilion. Venkataraman b R Alexander 7(6) [4s-1]

R Alexander to Subramania Siva, out Bowled!! Knocked him over. Alexander gets the big fish. The quicker delivery that skids through. Siva is a bit late to bring his bat down in an attempt to whip it through the on-side and hence pays the price. The ball sneaks through the gap between bat and pad. Crashes into the stumps. Subramania Siva b R Alexander 1(3)

Yo Mahesh to Raju, out Caught by Antony Dhas!! What a catch! We saw quite a few good catches in the previous game, but this has to be today's best. A much-needed wicket for Chepauk. Raju moves leg-side and Yo Mahesh delivers a slower delivery. Raju is early into his shot - the hack across the line. Ends up toe-ending it over mid-on. Dhas, at mid-on, runs back and takes a fine catch over his head. Raju c Antony Dhas b Yo Mahesh 15(10) [4s-2 6s-1]

D Kumaran to Raju, SIX, that made a cracking sound when he hit the ball. Kumaran bowls a bouncer and the left-handed batsman goes after it. Gets into a good position and plays the pull shot. Takes on the man at deep square leg and succeeds in doing so. Goes over his head and that's the first six of the evening. Perhaps, the fielder got a hand on it, but couldn't hold onto it
