Matthew Forde to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, poor ball! He's bowling round the wicket and on top of it with no fine leg he's sprayed this on the pads. Abhishek accepts the gift and glances it through long leg for four more

Akeal Hosein to Sanju Samson, FOUR, turn but too much width and too full as well. Sanju actually didn't bother moving his feet to the ball, trusted his hands, reached out and drilled it past cover for his first boundary

Roston Chase to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, him backing away and slashing through the off-side is well documented so bowlers and teams need to have a sweeper. Hit me short ball with some width, Abhishek cuts and

Roston Chase to Abhishek Sharma, out Caught by Shimron Hetmyer!! In the airrr, man at long-off runs in, dives and completes the catch. Third ump confirms that ball went directly into the hands of Hety there so that's the end of the night for Abhishek. Chase went over the wicket for this ball and used the pitch with this shortish delivery, Abhishek like always backed away to smash it over cover. But the ball gripped the surface and turned extra. Abhishek wasn't ready for the extra turn so his bottom hand came off the handle as he was through the shot early. Hety had a lot of ground to cover and he made it look simple.

Akeal Hosein to Sanju Samson, out Caught&Bowled!! That's a soft dismissal and Akeal has won this battle between the CSK boys. For the first time in the over Sanju tried to get inside the line to access the leg-side. Was backing away from the stumps the previous two balls.

Roston Chase to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, too short this time and Ishan had a lot of time to rock back and pulls wide of mid-on for a much needed hit to the fence

Roston Chase to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, the loose ball and the captain pounces! Short and outside off stump, Shreyas rocks back, cuts and keeps it all along the ground to left of Shamar Joseph at cover-point

Shamar Joseph to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, gee! Is this the shot of the game? It's not a six but a brilliant back foot lofted drive that looked effortless. Short of a length delivery outside off stump, Shreyas let the ball come, played with a high elbow and even held the pose for the cameras. Just bounced inside the rope

5.3

Shamar Joseph to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, pace off the ball was working well and got two wickets but West Indies have needlessly got pace on and the runs are flowing again

5.4

Shamar Joseph to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, now Springer has fumbled at short third man to concede a boundary. Short of a length delivery outside off stump, Shreyas dabs to fielder, should have been a dot but it's four

Romario Shepherd to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, full on the pads, so easy for Ishan Kishan who gets forward and flicks to the deep backward square-leg fence. Was the cross-seamer and Romario Shepherd didn't get the direction right
