- BATSMENRB4s6sSR11.4 now he will be happy. He has his man. Caught at deep midwicket. Short of a length, slow off the surface, and Philippe gets no timing on this pull at all 76/42.5 top of middle. On pace, swinging slightly, back in, but mostly wicket to wicket. Padikkal plays for the one swinging away from him and looks to loft him back over his head. This is cleverly bowled to make it swing back in. Beats him neck and crop 13/14.4 Sharma gets Kohli for the seventh time in the IPL. Again he follows inswinger after inswinger with an outswinger. On a length, outside off, slow off the surface, and Kohli fails to keep his drive down. Caught at short extra cover. Nobody has got Kohli out more often in the IPL. Sharma has gone past Nehra's six 28/210.6 oh this looks like a bullet as it leaves his bat but de Villiers has found deep point with precision. Relief for Nadeem as de Villiers looked like he was going to reprise his KKR heroics after Nadeem dropped him earlier. This is on a length, just outside off, and de Villiers leans back to time the pants off it. Just can't place this wide of the man 71/317.1 and he has taken that threat out. Slower ball, on a length, sundar early into it, hits it in the air back towards Natarajan, and he is lucky that it hits the wrist and deflects into his lap. These two have faced off against each other many a time in TNPL 106/518.2 full toss, Morris goes for the six over long-on, the bottom hand comes off, he gets no timing, and Warner takes the easy catch at long-on 113/618.4 slower ball again, on a length, Udana looks to go over cover, but toe-ends a skier for extra cover to take running back 114/7Extras11 (b 1, lb 2, w 8)TOTAL120/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Devdutt Padikkal, 2.5 ov), 2-28 (Virat Kohli, 4.4 ov), 3-71 (AB de Villiers, 10.6 ov), 4-76 (Josh Philippe, 11.4 ov), 5-106 (Washington Sundar, 17.1 ov), 6-113 (Chris Morris, 18.2 ov), 7-114 (Isuru Udana, 18.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.2 Warner looks to dominate him after the first-ball six, but chooses the wrong length now. Sundar is a little fuller than the last ball, Warner is looking to clear midwicket but ends up going straight to mid-on 10/110.6 beaten in the flight. It takes a lot to do that with a wet ball. Chahal manages to do that. Saha skips down the wicket to try to go over extra cover again, but the ball drops on him to fall short of where he is expecting it to. And then it rips past his bat to give de Villiers a regulation stumping 82/36.4 Chahal shows he is good enough even with the wet ball. Pandey has been impatient all over, looking to take him down early. He looks to clear long-on as this is flighted invitingly again, and it dips and turns to take a massive edge for Morris to run in from long-on and catch 60/212.1 and what a bowling change it has proved to be. Williamson has chipped one straight to short extra cover. Slower offcutter, on a length, and he ends up pushing at this well in front of his body. Easy catch to Kohli at extra cover. A soft dismissal. if you are not looking for a boundary, shots with hard hands are a soft dismissal on this pitch 87/413.5 wide length ball, Sharma looks to draw level in one shot, but gets too much under it and holes out to long-off 114/5Extras6 (w 6)TOTAL121/5 (14.1 Overs, RR: 8.54)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (David Warner, 1.2 ov), 2-60 (Manish Pandey, 6.4 ov), 3-82 (Wriddhiman Saha, 10.6 ov), 4-87 (Kane Williamson, 12.1 ov), 5-114 (Abhishek Sharma, 13.5 ov)
