018.818.6: Arshad Khan to Jamie Overton, OUT! TAKEN! End of a fine little cameo from Jamie Overton. Arshad Khan digs it into the surface, just outside off. Overton targets the straighter boundary and, using his bottom hand, tries to hit it like a tennis player's smash. He fails to get the elevation and the ball flies straight to long off, where Shahrukh Khan pouches it safely.
8 Over | Run: 143/7 | Run Rate: 7.53
418.718.5: Arshad Khan to Jamie Overton, FOUR! Nothing is working for Arshad Khan! He goes fuller and on off, pace on this time. Jamie Overton cleverly shuffles across and scoops it well wide of short fine for four more runs.
418.618.4: Arshad Khan to Jamie Overton, FOUR! Poor delivery and rightly punished! Short and wide outside off, slower as well. Jamie Overton knows there is no protecting in the deep. He waits for it, reaches out and slaps it over backward point for another boundary.
618.518.3: Arshad Khan to Jamie Overton, SIX! BOOM! Jamie Overton goes big now. Short of a length and on middle, not short enough to trouble the batter. Overton backs away a bit, climbs onto it and powers it over the bowler's head for a biggie.
418.418.2: Arshad Khan to Jamie Overton, FOUR! Crucial runs! Pitched up and on off, Jamie Overton gets under it and lofts it with a straight bat wide of mid off. Shubman Gill dives to his left and tries to grab it with his outstretched hand, but the ball touches his fingertips and rolls behind to the fence for a boundary.
018.318.2: Arshad Khan to Jamie Overton, WIDE! Tries the slower bouncer, but bowls it a bit too outside off, Jamie Overton fails to reach out for it. Arshad also falls over on his follow-through and looks like he has cramped up here.

017.617.6: Kagiso Rabada to Jamie Overton, Slower, outside off, short of a length. Jamie Overton misses his pull as the ball stays low due to a lack of pace. Rabada finishes with fine figures of 4-0-25-3.
6 Over | Run: 122/6 | Run Rate: 6.78
017.517.5: Kagiso Rabada to Kartik Sharma, OUT! TAKEN! Kagiso Rabada has the last laugh and gets his third of the game. He bangs this into the pitch, outside off, keeping it away from the batter. Kartik Sharma tries to reach out for it and swat it away but fails to get on top of the bounce. It flies off the top edge towards third man, where Jason Holder moves to his right, settles under it and takes a fine catch. CSK are 122/6 now.
017.417.4: Kagiso Rabada to Kartik Sharma, Dot ball! Back of a length and on middle, takes pace off. Kartik Sharma goes through the pull shot early and toe-ends it back to the bowler.
417.317.3: Kagiso Rabada to Kartik Sharma, FOUR! Nicely executed by Sharma! This will hurt Rabada even more. On a good length, on off. Kartik Sharma shuffles across the stumps and ramps it over the short fine leg region for four runs.
417.217.2: Kagiso Rabada to Kartik Sharma, FOUR! What happened there? The fielding has not been up to the mark from GT. This is a slower bouncer, on middle. Kartik Sharma connects his heave but fails to time it well. The ball loops toward the deep square leg region. Rashid Khan and Manav Suthar converge toward the skier, one from the deep mid-wicket and one from deep backward square leg. Both fielders get close to the ball, but due to a lack of communication, no one attempts the catch. The ball drops safely and bounces over the fence for four runs.
117.117.1: Kagiso Rabada to Ruturaj Gaikwad, On a length, angling down the leg side. Ruturaj Gaikwad makes room and swings it to long on for a single.
116.616.6: Mohammed Siraj to Ruturaj Gaikwad, In the air... just short of the fielder! Another slower bouncer, outside off. Ruturaj Gaikwad connects the ramp.

216.116.1: Mohammed Siraj to Ruturaj Gaikwad, FIFTY FOR RUTURAJ GAIKWAD! Not the most fluent of knocks from the CSK skipper, but he is fighting for his team. Fuller delivery, on middle, Gaikwad drills it wide of long on and comes back for the second run. First half-century of the season for him and this should give him confidence going ahead.
215.615.6: Arshad Khan to Kartik Sharma, Bangs this into the pitch, around leg, Kartik Sharma hooks it wide of deep fine leg for a brace.

Shivam Dube clears his front leg and has a heave across the line but misses it completely. The ball goes through and hits the top of off, flattening the stump. Arshad gives Dube a send-off, and Siraj will be a relieved man.
015.215.2: Arshad Khan to Shivam Dube, Hard length and on middle and leg, Shivam Dube misses his flick and gets hit on the pads.
015.115.1: Arshad Khan to Shivam Dube, DROPPED AGAIN! Shivam Dube gets lucky for the third time in this game. Short of a length and around off, Dube looks to flat-bat it over mid off but gets hurried on the shot. It spoons towards mid off, where Mohammed Siraj initially thinks the ball is coming to him, but in the end has to put in a dive forward and spills it out. Hands on head for Arshad.
414.714.6: Rashid Khan to Ruturaj Gaikwad, FOUR! A massive over for CSK, just what they needed here! Flatter, full and on middle, Ruturaj Gaikwad gets down across and swipes it away nicely through square leg for a boundary. 21 runs off Rashid's first over.

114.614.5: Rashid Khan to Shivam Dube, Oh dear, Jos Buttler gives away an unnecessary run!

Buttler collects it but has a wild throw at the bowler's end, allowing a single as an overthrow.
614.514.4: Rashid Khan to Shivam Dube, SIX! BANG! That's a clean hit. Tossed up, full and around middle, Shivam Dube stands tall and hits it through the line, launching it over the bowler's head for a biggie.
414.414.3: Rashid Khan to Shivam Dube, DROPPED AND FOUR! A good effort though! Flighted, full and around leg, turns away as this is a googly. Shivam Dube clears his front leg to slog it away but does not get the timing right. It flies wide of deep mid-wicket, where Sai Sudharsan runs to his left and dives to grab it with both hands but fails to hold on to it and the ball bounces over the ropes for a boundary.
014.314.3: Rashid Khan to Shivam Dube, FIVE WIDES! Bonus runs for CSK! Pushed through quicker, full but down the leg side, turns further down leg. Shivam Dube leaves it alone.

According to Simon Doull on air, Gaikwad has just become the fourth batter for CSK to hit 100 sixes in the IPL.

012.112.1: Arshad Khan to Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ouch, that surely hurt Gaikwad! Back of a length, on leg. Ruturaj Gaikwad skips down the track to slog it away, but misses the length completely. The ball hits the biceps of his right hand and Gaikwad is looking in pain. 
411.711.6: Jason Holder to Shivam Dube, FOUR! A second boundary for Dube, much-needed for CSK as the 50 comes up in the 12th over. Holder goes for the bumper and aims it right at the batter. Dube does well to swivel onto the back leg and manages to pull it wide of short fine leg for a boundary.

010.110.1: Arshad Khan to Shivam Dube, DROPPED? Surely that was a woody sound, wasn't it? No, says the umpire, as it is given as leg byes. Good-length delivery, lands it on middle and gets the ball to jag back in sharply, does Arshad. Dube is nearly cut in half as the ball brushes the thigh pad and goes behind. Jos Buttler spills it moving to his right and the batters get a leg bye. Oh, wow. Later on, UltraEdge shows that there was a big spike. That is indeed a huge chance missed for GT.

Brevis goes on one knee and has a big slog across the line, almost a no-look slog but ends up getting it off the top edge.

04.44.4: Mohammed Siraj to Sarfaraz Khan, OUT! CAUGHT! CSK's Impact Sub goes without making any impact. It's Mohammed Siraj's turn now to bowl a well-directed bumper, and he too gets some help from the deck. Sarfaraz Khan, looking to put pressure on the bowler, decides to take it on and goes for the pull shot. However, just like the previous dismissals, the extra bounce does the trick. It kisses the outer half of the bat and flies high in the air behind the stumps, where Jos Buttler calls for it, moves to his left, and takes a dolly. Golden duck for Sarfaraz and CSK are 26/3 now.

03.63.6: Kagiso Rabada to Urvil Patel, OUT! TAKEN! Kagiso Rabada with the double strike and CSK are in early trouble now. He once again bangs this into the pitch, on middle, takes off a bit. Urvil Patel looks to give charge and pull it away but is rushed as the ball gets big on him. It takes the top edge and loops straight up in the air over the bowler's head, as Jason Holder from mid on runs to his left and takes a good catch.
6 Over | Run: 25/2 | Run Rate: 6.25
43.53.5: Kagiso Rabada to Urvil Patel, FOUR! Some aggressive intent now! Full-length delivery, pitching it on the stumps and angling it in.

Kagiso Rabada bends his back and hits the deck hard at 148.2 kph, a bit outside off, and once again gets extra bounce off the deck.

612.612.6: Akeal Hosein to Sai Sudharsan, SIX! Pumped over the fence. Another drag down from Hosein, around off. Sai Sudharsan rocks onto the back foot, leans to the off side and clobbers it flat and to the right of the deep mid-wicket fielder for a biggie. 16 off the over, GT now need 41 off 42 balls.

111.111.1: Noor Ahmad to Sai Sudharsan, FIFTY FOR SUDHARSAN! He follows up his hundred in the last game with a fine knock but will want to make sure this counts in a winning cause now. This is short and on middle, Sai Sudharsan clips it towards square leg for a single.

It flies towards long on, where Dewald Brevis plucks it out of thin air with his right hand while falling over the ropes. He realises that Ruturaj Gaikwad is trying to back him up and tries to throw the ball with a backhand flick, but while doing so, his trailing leg touches the ground.

06.36.3: Noor Ahmad to Shubman Gill, OUT! STUMPED! Ruturaj Gaikwad knew it straight away, and a bit of lightning work behind the stumps has handed CSK their first wicket. Noor Ahmad bowls this a bit fuller and tosses it up around leg stump. Shubman Gill gets drawn forward as he looks to flick but the ball turns further down the leg side and Gill is beaten. Sanju Samson collects it to his left and dislodges the bails quickly. The third umpire has a look and finds that Gill's back leg is in the air when the bails get lighted. It will be a wide as well, but CSK won't mind it. 101 more needed off 82 balls.

45.35.3: Anshul Kamboj to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR! Oh, nearly chopped on, but the ball rolls to the fence and the 50 is up for GT. Good length from over the wicket, in and around off stump and this one skids through. Sudharsan ends up jabbing at it and gets an inside edge that goes past the stumps and runs away into the fine leg fence.
15.25.2: Anshul Kamboj to Shubman Gill, Oh, deary me! Akeal Hosein seems to have taken a blow to his face here, and there's immediate concern for him. Back of a length, angled across off, Gill charges down the pitch, makes room and slaps the ball flat and wide of deep point. Hosein runs to his right, dives to get to the dipping ball but spills it and then his face gets planted into the turf as the batters pick up a single. Hopefully, Akeal is fine here.
65.15.1: Anshul Kamboj to Shubman Gill, SIX! What a free-flowing shot from Gill. Length ball on the stumps, Shubman Gill lunges a long way forward and smokes it high and handsome over cow corner for a biggie.
44.64.6: Gurjapneet Singh to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR! That should have been stopped. Fullish length, in the channel, Sudharsan gets his front leg out and just opens the bat to play it to the right of short third. The fielder over there dives and deflects the ball behind for four more runs.

04.34.3: Gurjapneet Singh to Shubman Gill, Just back of a length, on miiddle and leg, Gill presses back to defend.
14.24.2: Gurjapneet Singh to Sai Sudharsan, Oh, that could have gone anywhere. Sudharsan premeditates a bit and shuffles past the off stump. This is bowled on a good length and outside off, and Sai looks to lap it away. However, he gets it off the gloves and the ball lobs to the right of the keeper. Sanju Samson goes after the ball which falls well short and then overruns it, allowing a single.
14.14.1: Gurjapneet Singh to Shubman Gill, Lands it on a fullish length, on middle and leg, Gill tucks it behind square leg and picks up a single.
03.63.6: Anshul Kamboj to Sai Sudharsan, Another tidy over from Anshul Kamboj! Just a single from it.

03.13.1: Anshul Kamboj to Shubman Gill, Oh, that was not too far away from stumps! Kamboj delivers it on a good length, pitching it outside off and shaping it in. Shubman Gill skips down the track and looks to lash it through cover, but gets beaten. The ball flies just away from the top of the off pole.
12.62.6: Jamie Overton to Shubman Gill, Fuller now, around the pads of the batter. Shubman Gill clips it gently through square leg and gets an easy single. 17 runs from the first over of Jamie Overton!

01.41.4: Anshul Kamboj to Shubman Gill, Oh, big shout from behind. Definitely two sounds but the bowler doesn't seem very excited. Good length on off, nips back in, Gill looks to tuck it leg side but the bat gets a bit stuck behind the front pad and he gets an inside edge onto the pads.
11.31.3: Anshul Kamboj to Sai Sudharsan, Dug in a bit shorter now and pushed wide of the off stump. Sudharsan reaches for it and cuts it to deep point for a single.
01.21.2: Anshul Kamboj to Sai Sudharsan, Back of a length, doesn't rise much and Sudharsan pulls it straight to mid-wicket.
01.11.1: Anshul Kamboj to Sai Sudharsan, Oh, that's done so much after leaving the batter. Nagging length on middle and off, nips away and Sudharsan ends up just backing out of his shot. The ball keeps moving away from the left-hander on its way to the keeper.
