    1.6 nicked and gone this time! Samson falls for 7 on his home debut! Length ball on middle and off, and this swerves away at the last moment. Samson backs away, looking to go inside-out but the ball is not full enough to drive. Gets a healthy nick and Prabhsimran does the rest behind the stumps. Chepauk is shocked, and CSK lose a wicket early in the piece yet again! 14/1
    11.1 Gaikwad perishes trying to attack! On a length and sliding down leg. Gaikwad brings out the sweep but cannot quite free his arms as much as he would have wanted. Hits it well but straight to Wadhera at deep backward square leg. Gaikwad throws his head back in disappointment, and it is that man Chahal with the breakthrough again! 110/2
    12.3 goneski! Straight to short third, and Mhatre departs! Very full and very wide again. Mhatre jams down on it, while opening his bat face. Gets under this one, though, and the ball flies through to Chahal. Mhatre is livid with himself; Vyshak, absolutely delighted. PBKS with two wickets in quick succession! 123/3

    13.4 big lbw appeal, and Jansen wants the review. And he gets the review too! Speared in full on middle stump. Kartik gets down low and swipes across the line. Gets rapped in front and this could spell trouble for him. Was it doing too much, though, especially with the angle from around the wicket? Flat line on UltraEdge. Ball Tracking comes up and...it shows the ball to be thundering into the inside of leg stump. Kartik has to go, and PBKS keep chipping away! 130/4
    16.4 and the change in plan works! Hard length just outside off. Sarfaraz, aware of the field change, tries to muscle it down the ground. Cannot get the purchase he wants, though, and only musters the height he desires. Wadhera back-pedals from mid on and snares the chance. An enterprising cameo, but CSK will now need someone else to take them to 200! 168/5

    4.2 off stump flat on the ground! Henry roars, and Chepauk roars in unison! Hard length on middle and leg, and this seems to nip away a shade. Arya hares down and swipes at it without a care in the world. Misses the ball completely and sees his off stump in a mess. An 11-ball 39 for Arya, but CSK finally have the wicket they were craving! 61/1
    8.5 oh dear - that is a terrible mix-up and CSK have a wicket out of nothing! Back of a length on off. Prabhsimran dinks it into the mid wicket region. Prabhsimran wants two and sets off, even with Noor chasing after it. In the end, Noor fumbles and that allows Sarfaraz to walk onto the ball and hurl a throw at the bowler's end. Prabhsimran, in the meantime, has run half-way down the track, only to be sent back. Nowhere in the frame, and PBKS have lost both their openers! 95/2
    11.5 holes out to long off, and the crowd comes alive again! Full toss just outside off. Connolly tries to smash it down the ground but the bat face opens upon contact. A bit of a slice in the end and Connolly could not have picked out Henry better. CSK still in this! 127/3
    16.6 straight to the sweeper, and Kamboj has another! Is it too little, too late, though? Full and wide outside off. Shreyas reaches out and gets a good chunk of it too. Not a good enough chunk to clear the fence, however, and Chahar accepts the offering with glee at sweeper cover! 186/4
    17.1 oh, hello! Oh, hello! This game may not be done just yet! Hung up full and wide. Wadhera skips down and throws his hands at it. Cannot control his waft, though, and he slices it straight to Noor at extra cover. Chepauk erupts, and CSK may just have a sniff here! 186/5
