6.2 miscued and taken! Axar puts Gaikwad out of his misery! A painstaking innings comes to an end. Back of a length on middle and leg. Skids through and Gaikwad, shaping for the pull, is rushed into it. Cloths it high up and deep mid wicket does the rest. Chepauk goes silent but from an immediate CSK POV, this might not be the worst outcome, given how much Gaikwad was struggling to up the tempo! 62/1

17.3 very full on middle and off. Samson cannot get under this either and clinks it out to long off. Mhatre is being retired out, btw Dube coming in at four. 175/2

5.2 second time is the charm for Kamboj, and Chepauk comes to life! Khaleel breathes a sigh of relief, as do thousands clad in yellow at the stadium. Full on middle and off, and this shapes back in a shade. Holds in the surface too and Nissanka, checking his drive, pops it straight to Brevis. CSK getting their teeth stuck in now! 61/2

4.6 change of angle works immediately! Bashed into the track, and this slants into off. Rahul wants to swipe it over mid wicket but the lack of room means he cannot free his arms fully. A little rushed too and he splices it tamely to Overton at mid wicket. First wicket for Khaleel this season, and some respite for CSK! 61/1

7.6 goes a mile up again, and Brevis was not going to drop it. Not in a million years! This hit-the-deck ploy working wonders for the hosts. Just outside off. Rizvi looks to swivel and dump it over deep square leg. Miscues it right off the toe-end, though, and Brevis accepts the offering with glee, while stationed a few yards inside the fence. CSK in control now! 76/4

6.1 is that a bird, is that a plane?! No, it is Sarfaraz flying through the air! And a first-ball wicket for the left-arm seamer. Banged in short outside off. Axar cannot keep his cut down but he absolutely laces it towards backward point. Sarfaraz throws himself to his right and plucks it out of thin air. Runs around like he has just won a medal in the 100m event at the Olympics, and a moment of magic hands CSK their third scalp! 66/3

12.2 hot knife through butter, and Overton is at it again! Hard length on leg, and this seems to deck back in just a smidgen. Miller has no clue about it. Beaten for pace (this was bowled at more than 145kph) and beaten by the movement too. Cut in half, and the leg-stump bail goes for a toss. Miller bewildered as he walks off, but this crowd is now having a ball at Chepauk! 121/5

18.3 plonked to mid off, and Overton is having a night to remember under the Chepauk lights! Hard length on middle and off, bowled at around 144 clicks. Stubbs looks to muscle it over mid off but the ball comes onto him much quicker than he expects. Off the higher part of the blade and Noor, running back from mid off, snares it. Overton is pumped, and over the moon. The crowd are too, and this could be the game right here! 183/8

14.5 sliced straight to sweeper cover, and Noor is on the board in his fourth game of the season! Throws it up outside off and dares Ashutosh to go inside-out. Ashutosh takes up the invite but falls well short. Cuts across it too much and Kamboj, running in off the deep point fence, does the rest! 149/6

15.4 Nabi swings for the hills, and he only finds Akeal at extra cover, who pulls off a stunning grab! Akeal did misjudge it at the start and had to redeem himself, much like Hetmyer yesterday. Length ball outside off. Nabi wanted to smash it into next week but miscued it terribly. Akeal ran in too much initially but then had the awareeness to leap and take it over his head. DC seven down now! 154/7

19.1 popped to extra cover, and CSK are almost there now! Pushed in full on middle stump. Kuldeep steps out and gives himself room to go inside out. Shanks it completely, though, and Brevis, moving to his right at extra cover, sends Kuldeep on his way! 185/9

19.6 taken at short third, and that is a fitting end to this contest! CSK are on the board at the fourth time of asking and they have won at Chepauk for the first time in seven attempts! Pushed across the batter outside off. Ngidi wafts at it and the ball flies off the outside edge. Gobbled up neatly by Gurjapneet, and cue the celebrations now. More relief than anything, given the history of this franchise, and this has comfortably been their best performance this season! 189/10
