    10.4 Dube does the trick! Inspired bowling change, and Salt perishes! This is banged into the track outside off. Seems like the slower variant and it comes off very sluggishly. Salt has a wild swipe at it and shanks it a mile up. Noor runs in from deep square and snaffles up the chance. Timely breakthrough for CSK! 93/2
    4.3 bashed in short, and Kohli bites the dust! Dube with a bit of redemption! A little outside off. Kohli advances and tries to fetch it from outside the line. Gets a little under it and miscues it badly. Dube, stationed at long on, runs in and does the rest, despite the close proximity of Noor, who had run towards Dube from mid wicket. Kamboj with the breakthrough, and there is stunned silence at the Chinnaswamy! 37/1

    14.1 leg stump out of the ground, and Overton provides a bit of respite to CSK! Yorker speared in on leg stump. Padikkal walks across and tries to be too funky. Looks for the scoop but gets across far too much to access the ball. Misses it and sees his leg stump flat on the ground soon after. Overton is pumped, but Padikkal has done his job too through these middle overs! 151/3

    2.5 six and out - yet again! They cannot play him! Back of a length outside off. Samson has a loose waft at it away from his body and nicks it through to Padikkal at slip. Duffy thrilled to bits; Samson and those in yellow, not quite. CSK have lost three, and we have not even finished three overs yet! 30/3
    0.5 six and out! Duffy has the final word, and the CSK skipper's poor start to the tournament continues! Back of a length outside off. Shapes away late and Gaikwad goes nibbling at it. Gets a healthy nick and Padikkal gobbles it up to his right at slip. CSK's opening woes showing no signs of abating! 9/1
    1.2 Mhatre falls too, and this CSK chase is in danger of flagging before it has even begun properly! Back of a length just outside off. Mhatre has a hack at it and gets it all wrong. Spoons it to Patidar at mid off, and Bhuvneshwar becomes the first pacer to get to 200 IPL wickets! 10/2
    6.1 stumped by a country mile! Darted in on a length on middle and leg. Sarfaraz hares down and has a wild mow at it. Nowhere near the pitch of the ball, and the ball comes in with the angle. Past Sarfaraz's flailing blade and Jitesh whips off the bails, with Sarfaraz stranded. Sarfaraz departs for 50 off 25, but it was fun while it lasted! 77/4
    6.5 goes straight up, and Kartik falls too! Given a touch of air on a fullish length on off, and Kartik cannot resist the temptation to have a pop at it. Swings at it in an ungainly manner and only gets height on it. Abhinandan settles under it at short third, and half of CSK's side is now back in the shed! 84/5
    9.5 has that carried?! If it has, this is a world-class grab! Back of a length just outside off. Dube opens up his stance and swings for the hills. Gets an inside edge and Jitesh shows insane reflexes to lunge down low to his right and make it stick with his right mitt. Outstanding from Jitesh, and CSK are six down now! 108/6
    15.1 plonked to the skipper at extra cover, and CSK lose another! Hard length outside off. Stops a little in the surface and bounces a tad extra. Hits near the sticker as Veer looks to force it through the off side and Patidar tumbles low to his left to hold on to a sharp chance! 165/7
    16.1 shanked a mile up, and taken! Back of a length outside off. Kicks up a little and Overton, trying to swat it down the ground, cannot get on top of the bounce. Tame chip in the end and Bethell, on as a sub, does the rest in the long off region. CSK eight down! 178/8

    17.6 holes out to long on, and RCB almost there now! Bashed in short outside off, asking Noor to fetch it. He takes up the challenge but does not quite succeed. Off the bottom part of the blade and Kohli, running to his right from long on, snaffles up the chance over his right shoulder! 190/9
    19.4 taken at deep mid wicket, and RCB make it four wins in a row against CSK for the first time ever! And they have done it at an absolute canter! Slower ball into the track outside off. Henry has a swipe at it and drags it towards deep mid wicket, where Salt accepts the offering with glee! 207/10
