- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.2 taken at deep midwicket! There's the breakthrough. Went for a slog-sweep, against the longer boundary, takes the top edge and it's very well judged by Curran 56/113.3 length ball on the stumps, clears his front leg and looks to go over long-on, doesn't middle it as it's a carrom ball, Miller takes a neat catch at long-on with fingers pointing upwards 100/213.4 and timber. Length ball around off and middle from around the wicket, Raina looks to sweep it towards midwicket, misses it altogether and Ashwin has two in two 100/3Extras5 (w 5)TOTAL160/3 (20 Overs, RR: 8)Fall of wickets: 1-56 (Shane Watson, 7.2 ov), 2-100 (Faf du Plessis, 13.3 ov), 3-100 (Suresh Raina, 13.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR17.3 another slower one from Kuggeleijn, length outside off, Rahul goes for the pull but no timing at all on this, Jadeja comes in from deep midwicket to accept a simple catch 117/31.4 caught behind! Full outside off, Gayle goes for a booming drive away from his body, the umpire's finger goes up. Gayle just stands there for a little while, unsure whether to review or not, has a brief chat with Rahul and then walks (slowly) off. Ultra Edge confirms a nick 7/11.6 taken at long-on! That's poor batting...charged down the pitch, was nowhere near the ball, he slices across the ball and it only finds Faf du Plessis stationed near the fence 7/219.4 fuller on the stumps, Sarfaraz looks to go big, but gets only the height, du Plessis backpedals at long-on and takes it with fingers pointing upwards 137/518.6 the leg stump takes a walk! Was fuller and in the slot, Miller looks to send it out of Chennai but misses completely, and the leg stick is out of its groove 135/4Extras4 (nb 2, w 2)TOTAL138/5 (20 Overs, RR: 6.9)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Chris Gayle, 1.4 ov), 2-7 (Mayank Agarwal, 1.6 ov), 3-117 (KL Rahul, 17.3 ov), 4-135 (David Miller, 18.6 ov), 5-137 (Sarfaraz Khan, 19.4 ov)
