OHH.For once Dhoni will not finish the match. Hit Ishant straight to Keemo Paul at square leg. Out for 9.
Rayudu turns Keemo Paul for a 4 through deep square leg. And the target now down to single digit. 9 runs at the moment.
Dhoni is new man in. And crowd comes alive.
Raina chops one back to stumps off Axar Patel. 127/3 and it is strategic time out.
Ambati Rayudu is new man.
Watson wanted to celebrate the 50 with 6 off Amit Mishra. But he could not get the distance, easy catch by Boult. Out for even 50. 109/2.
6 by Watson off Keemo Paul and Chennai cross 100 in 11.5 overs
Watson is slowly coming to life. A 6 and 4 off Keemo Paul.
Faf goes after 50. He pulled a half-tracker from Boult straight to Keemo Paul at deep, the shot did not come off the middle of the bat.
81/0 after 10 overs. 67 to win.
50 for Faf. Lovely innings. Watson joins the party with 6 off Axar Patel.
Pretty poor frim Watson. He had a 4 previous ball and then went for a big heave. Edged but even poorer by Prithvi, who never really ran for it. Munro had to run some 100 meter for it, never really expected to catch it.
Couple of 4s and Chennai are past 50 in 8th over.
Keemo Paul into attack...
42 for no loss after Power Play. A good beginning thanks to Faf
4,4,4 by Faf off Ishant
Couple of 4s by Faf off Ishant. Using the pace of the bowler.
A 6 by Faf...audacious shot on a slow wicket against spin. Needed too
Again, a slow start in PP by Chennai. They have not lost a wicket alright!
Faf-bulous by Du Plessis..short ball and pulled away regally
An eventful over comes to an end as CSK get just 1 from it. CSK - 1/0 after 1.
What was happening??? Utter Confusion between the openers into the middle and either of them could have been run out. But the fielding side just made a mess out of it.
Shane Watson and Faf du Plessis are into the middle to open CSK innings. Trent Boult to start with the new ball.
End of innings: 147/9. Ishant hammered Jadeja for a 4 and 6 in the last two balls. How vital that could be?
Wicket 9: Boult b Jadeja. 137/9. Boult had hit a 6 off Jadeja the previous ball. He has the record of most number of 6s by a No 11 batsmen in Test cricket
Flying Faf. What an effort. Mishra's hit off Chahar was destined to sail over line for 6. But sprinted and saved 4 off them. superb
Big wicket. Pant wanted to clear Chahar over long-on but Bravo take a fine running catch.
Another wicket goes down. Bravo beat Keemo Paul with an 139 kmph yorker. 119/7
Harbhajan will be chuffed.
