Anshul Kamboj to Rahane, FOUR, brilliant! This was pitched up by the bowler outside off, Rahane walks down the track and smashes it over covers
5.1
Anshul Kamboj to Rahane, SIX, superb shot! Back of a length around off, Rahane walks across in the crease, goes down on his knee and scoops it over fine leg for half-a-dozen. Right into the CSK dugout

Noor Ahmad to Narine, out Stumped!! Tossed up delivery around middle and leg, Narine shimmies down the wicket and looks to whip this away, but gets beaten and struck on the pads. The ball rolls towards Dhoni following that and he manages to whip the bails off before Narine can get back in. Comfortably out of the crease and Narine's cameo comes to an end..

Noor Ahmad to Angkrish Raghuvanshi, out Caught by Dhoni!! Edged and taken! A googly outside off, Angkrish Raghuvanshi has a poke at it and gets an outside edge that has been taken by Dhoni. The two spinners working in tandem. Ashwin building pressure with dot balls from one end and Noor taking wickets from the other end.. Good team-work by the CSK bowlers.

15.2
Pathirana to Russell, SIX, swatted over midwicket! Back of a length, slower one on middle, sits up for Russell who opens the front hip and whacks it across the line. Goes for a flat six!

Noor Ahmad to Russell, SIX, nailed! Another googly, turns away off a good length but Russell absolutely wallops it over midwicket with the slog-sweep.

16.3
Noor Ahmad to Russell, FOUR, oh dear! Conway is deceived by the spin on the ball and ends up overrunning it. This is pretty full around off, Russell carves it to deep extra cover, should've only been a single but ends up weaving past the helpless Conway

Vaibhav Arora to Brevis, FOUR, to backward square leg
10.1
Vaibhav Arora to Brevis, SIX, Brevis is in good nick. But should Raghuvanshi at long-off have taken it? He misjudges it and he has not even got a fingertip on it. A full delivery outside off, was the leg-cutter, Brevis gets forward and lofts flat, was coming from the lights, Raghuvanshi puts his hands up but it's too late

Vaibhav Arora to Brevis, SIX, this is a big over. Another juicy low full-toss outside off, Brevis slams it straight down the ground, stand and deliver stuff. The CSK crowd are up and roaring
10.3
Vaibhav Arora to Brevis, FOUR, Brevis on the charge. Nearly took Vaibhav Arora's head off. A low full-toss outside off, slapped with brute force and just over the head of the ducking bowler

Vaibhav Arora to Brevis, SIX, and he keeps going. What an over this is for CSK. Seriously poor bowling though

.10.6
Vaibhav Arora to Brevis, FOUR, 30 off the over. 50 for Brevis. A harmless length delivery outside off, the leg-cutter and Brevis cuts wide of extra-cover, too wide for long-off to have any chance. Shivam Dube is impressed - as are the CSK crowd

Harshit Rana to Shivam Dube, SIX, telling strike this. Shivam Dube releases the pressure. Another predictable slower-ball off-cutter from Harshit Rana, looked like Dube was waiting for it, was full on off, he gets forward and lofts massively over long-on

Vaibhav Arora to Shivam Dube, out Caught by Rinku Singh!! Good catch by RInku and KKR breathe. This is a half-volley outside off, in the slot again, Shivam Dube though miscues the loft, the bat turns and Rinku is well in from the long-off fence, takes it well and the game turns again. Some respite for Vaibhav Arora who has been very expensive.
