Mustafizur Rahman to Sam Curran
WIDE! Takes pace off and it is fuller as well, near the tramline on off, Sam Curran reaches out to go back over the bowler's head. He misses and the umpire deems that the ball was beyond the tramline. Chennai challenge the wide call and the replays confirm that the ball was outside the wide guideline. It will stay as wide.

WIDE! Another one that goes over the batter. Mustafizur Rahman takes pace off and digs it in short, outside off, Sam Curran lets it go for a wide. Chennai cannot challenge the call even if they wish to, as they have no reviews remaining.

NO BALL! That has slipped out of Richard Gleeson's hands! Loses the grip of the ball and ends up serving a beamer, outside off, Sam Curran is caught by surprise as the ball zips past him before he can lay any bat on it. Free Hit coming up.

FOUR! Shivam Dube gets beaten all ends up by the spin and concedes a boundary. Fuller and at the stumps, Sam Curran heaves across the line and it comes off the inside half of the bat. The ball spins away from Dube at deep mid-wicket on the second bounce and trickles into the fence. Just a hit now away Punjab.

Given LBW but Sam Curran successfully overturns it! Pitched up from over the wicket by Richard Gleeson, on middle and leg, Sam Curran goes deep in his crease to swing across the line. Gets pinged low on the front pad and the ball rolls on the off side. Up goes the finger but Curran takes the review. There is nothing on UltraEdge. However, the ball has pitched outside leg on Ball Tracking.

Richard Gleeson to Shashank Singh
THAT'S IT! Punjab get home and become the second team to win five successive games against Chennai! Richard Gleeson bowls it on a back of a length, over middle, Shashank Singh turns this one towards deep square leg. The batters think about coming back for the second. The throw from the deep is a wayward one, well wide of MS Dhoni, allowing the batters to take the second run.
