CSK CLINCH LAST BALL THRILLER!

We had more twists in the final over bowled by Narine after he had Jadeja LBW with one run to get. And Deepak Chahar finally swept the final ball to take CSK over the line by the skin of their teeth. A fitting finish to a game competed by two evenly matched teams.

Jadeja privides the twist!

He's smashed Prasidh Krishna for 6, 6 and 4. That totally changes the equation once again. What a match we're having here!

Varun C gets the big one...again!

That's the third time he's bowled Dhoni, with a flighted googly now. Dhoni plays down the wrong line and swiftly turns back as the stumps are shattered. KKR in pole position now.

And now Raina...

He's run out with Dhoni calling for a quick second. Raina puts in the dive but the throw from long off is spot on, and Raina is caught way short.

Moeen Ali departs!

Lockie Ferguson has bowled three ordinary overs but gets the big wicket in his final over. Moeen Ali tries to slap a back of length delivery down the ground but holes out to long on. CSK need 34 off 20 now.

Russell injured!

KKR may have more problems with Andre Russell in great pain on the sidelines. He already went off the field once but has come back and been in pain after a sprint and save on the boundary.

WICKET: Narine chips in

Rayudu runs down the track in search of a big hit and is out bowled. A close finish looms with CSK having no option but to keep going hard.

WICKET: Faf falls to Prasidh

The back of the length is paying off again even as CSK line up for them. KKR overcompensated with the length allowing Faf and Moeen to predict their boundary hits. But it finally gets the better of Faf who cuts one hard and straight to deep point. CSK need 66 off 48 now. Twist?

WICKET: Russell gets Ruturaj

KKR's pacers have been guilty of not trying to dig it in short as has been the wont of other successful pacers in this season. When they finally get it right, Ruturaj perishes to Russell, getting a leading edge to point. End of a 74-run opening stand.

52/0 in the powerplay

Ruturaj and Faf are putting on yet another good show. KKR in desperate need of some magic to pull things back.
