SIX! Jaydev Unadkat to MS Dhoni. Off cutter length ball, to leg backing away Slog, well timed in the air under control over long on for 6 runs.
Make that back to back sixes to finish the over. Meaty swing of the bat from Dhoni and the ball goes way back over long on. Chennai have mustered 175-5 from their 20 overs which is a lot more than they would have expected on this tough batting track.
Rajasthan has let it slip slightly after a good power play in which they kept the runs down but Dhoni was a different class. It's going to need somebody from the Royals to play a quality knock to chase this down.

SIX! Jaydev Unadkat to MS Dhoni. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control over long off for 6 runs. Flat-batted for six. It looked as though it was a mis-hit but the ball kept on travelling into the crowd.
SIX! Jaydev Unadkat to MS Dhoni. Off cutter short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed in the air under control over deep square leg for 6 runs. Too easy for Dhoni. He is waiting for the slower one and latches onto it so quickly.

FOUR! Dhawal Kulkarni to Dwayne Bravo. Off cutter back of a length, outside off stump backing away driving, outside edge in the air uncontrolled past third man for 4 runs.

Dwayne Bravo to Jofra Archer. Length ball, outside off stump backing away Slog, mis-timed to extra cover for 1 run, fielded by Raina.
A brilliant final over from Bravo. Rajasthan were looking likely to get the remaining runs but Bravo took two wickets, including the big one of Stokes, and only conceded two runs. It comes back to the start for Rajasthan when they were 14-3 and the middle-order had to build an innings against a quality attack. Stokes along with Tripathi and Smith added some handy runs but it wasn't enough.
Tough start for Rajasthan who have started the season with three consecutive losses and they need to turn things around quickly. The defending champs though are now three wins from three and they look dangerous.
OUT! Caught. Dwayne Bravo to Shreyas Gopal. Length ball, outside off stump backing away Slog, outside edge in the air uncontrolled to third man, by Tahir. That will be the game. Gopal needs to swing the bat but he is not hitting them as clean as is required. Big loopy edge which travels all the way down to third man. Tahir is pumping up the crowd the only way he knows.

OUT! Caught. Dwayne Bravo to Ben Stokes. Yorker, outside off stump driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to extra cover, by Raina. The game turns on its head once again. Perfect yorker in the blockhole and Stokes can't dig it out to get it past cover. Raina again at cover takes a smart catch.
Shardul Thakur to Ben Stokes. Off cutter back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, to deep mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Jadeja. Rajasthan require 12 from the final over. This is anyone's game.

OUT! Caught. Shardul Thakur to Krishnappa Gowtham. Length ball, outside off stump moves in front Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to extra cover, by Raina.
