    1.6 bowled him!! The off stump is flattened. Burger fires one at 140kph, and Samson is beaten after looking to heave across the line. On a length on middle, and the ball seams away after pitching. Samson went swinging without any foot movement, and missed. His first innings in yellow, against the side he made a name with, is cut short early 14/1
    2.6 gone!! Archer wins the battle against an off-colour Gaikwad. Again the CSK captain looked to make room and attack, but this time failed to get bat on ball. Archer kept the ball fullish and straight, and Gaikwad, looking to open the face of the bat and perhaps slice it, missed. The stumps lit up. There was the swag on Archer's face after launching that ball at 143kph 19/2
    3.1 loud appeal for caught behind - and with extreme confidence from Burger and Jurel - but it's turned down. RR review, though. It was a bouncer from Burger that left Mhatre nearly cramped. The ball landed on leg, and took off to pass close to Mhatre's head. He looked to pull that late, but was beaten by the pace and the bounce. Ohh, there's a spike on UltraEdge as the ball zips past the glove. It brushes his bottom thumb, and Mhatre has to go. A first-ball duck for Mhatre, and CSK have lost three wickets already. In fact, Burger is on a hat-trick 19/3
    5.3 chipped to midwicket!! Jaiswal, who took the catch, almost gestures that he couldn't spot the ball. The ball stopped on the pitch before coming on to Short, who ended up pushing at it aerially off a fullish length on the stumps. Or maybe Sandeep with a lack of pace. Either way, Short falls as CSK lose their fourth within the powerplay 38/4

    7.2 Jurel and Jadeja are delighted while appealing, and Sarfaraz is given lbw. But he reviews. Sarfaraz went sweeping, but missed, as the ball went beneath his bat. The first replay hints that it could be too high as he's hit on his back, but we'll see. No bat involved is the confirmation from the third umpire. Ohh, in fact, the ball pitches on middle, and straightens enough for Ball Tracking to project it to hit the top of middle. Jadeja strikes in his first over 51/5
    10.3 That should be out, finger goes up. Kartik chats... and takes the review. 134ks full ball on middle and leg. Kartik's forward stride was small and he tried to drive it through mid-on. Bat well in front of body, beat the inside-edge and hit the outer-half of the front pad. On the shin. Ball-tracking shows it's hitting leg stump and Brijesh has his first IPL wicket. 74/7
    7.6 number six!! Jadeja's experience trumps Dube's aggression. The RR spinner goes full and wider of off, tempting Dube to launch him down the ground again. Dube takes the bait, but ends up finding long-off. It was a bit of a cat and mouse between the two right from the first ball, and Jadeja won't mind taking the wicket after being hit for six first ball 57/6

    12.5 Thick edge, keeper takes it. Noor shows all his stumps, hoping to get one maybe around middle or off. It goes just outside off and he looks to slash it through cover. He's a bit too far away again and hands a regulation catch 82/8
    15.3 Lobbed back to the bowler. Bishnoi takes a low catch, falls back, gets up and raises his arms. Slowed down again, it's full and on off. Henry lunged forward and was too early into the drive. Didn't check his shot and has to walk back 94/9
    19.4 Has a hoick, doesn't time it. Rolls to deep midwicket, Hetmyer throws it casually to the keeper. Overton ambled the first, as he finished the run he realised he can nick a second. But the throw, on the bounce, came to the keeper at a good height. Off went the bails and he ran through towards the pavillion 127/10
