Harshal Patel to Ambati Rayudu
NO BALL! A length ball, outside off. This one nips in a bit. Ambati Rayudu stays back and cuts it through point for a single. It's a no ball for overstepping. Free Hit to follow.

W
Harshal Patel to Moeen Ali
OUT! CAUGHT! Harshal Patel strikes. Ali did not pick up the slower one and he pays the price for it. Full and on the pads. Ali thought the ball would be quicker and he wanted to use the pace on it, but he completely misjudges the delivery. Ali closes the face of the bat early and it flies off the leading edge to mid-wicket. Virat Kohli settles under it and takes an easy catch. 39 needed off 36 balls.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Ambati Rayudu
Floated, full and on off. Rayudu prods and pushes it through covers. They take one.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Suresh Raina
Loopy ball, around off. Raina defends it to covers off the front foot.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Suresh Raina
CATCH IT...Safe! Floated, full and outside off, Raina skips down the track and lifts it towards covers. The ball lands short of the man in the deep. They take a single this time.
14.4

Yuzvendra Chahal to Ambati Rayudu
Full and on off. Rayudu works it towards long on for a single.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Suresh Raina
FOUR! Raina is a really good player of spin bowling. Googly and outside off, Raina leans into the shot and rockets it over covers. The ball races away to the boundary.
14.6
0
Yuzvendra Chahal to Suresh Raina
Full and on off. Raina skips down the track looking to heave over the leg side. The ball takes the inside edge and goes onto his pads. Chahal ends his spell with a wicket, as he gave away 26 runs.

Harshal Patel to Ambati Rayudu
FOUR! That is poor from Yuzvendra Chahal. Slower, off-cutter from Patel. Rayudu just guides it to short third man but the ball goes through Chahal's fingers and into the fence. He was late into his dive, almost dived over the ball.
15.2

Harshal Patel to Ambati Rayudu
FOUR! Now Harshal Patel bowls a poor delivery. This is not what Virat Kohli was hoping for after the break. A full toss, around off. Ambati Rayudu slashes it behind backward point for a boundary.
15.3
0
Harshal Patel to Ambati Rayudu
Nicely bowled slower delivery, outside off and deceives Ambati Rayudu completely. He tries to cut but misses.
15.4
W
Harshal Patel to Ambati Rayudu
OUT! CAUGHT! Harshal Patel just has this knack of getting the big wickets and he delivers yet again. Is it too late though? Short in length outside off and Ambati Rayudu pulls it off the toe end of the bat, straight to AB de Villiers at mid-wicket. De Villiers isn't going to drop those and Bangalore will look to take advantage of two new batsmen at the crease. 24 needed off 26 balls.

Harshal Patel to MS Dhoni
It's the cutter again, on off and angling into the body. Dhoni looks to tuck it away but inside-edges it back onto the thigh pad. The ball goes nowhere.
15.6
1
Harshal Patel to MS Dhoni
On the pads and this is flicked away to deep square leg for a run. Dhoni runs the first run hard but has to settle for only a run. 23 runs needed now off 24 balls.

Wanindu Hasaranga to Suresh Raina
Hasaranga bowls this one into the pitch and on leg stump. The ball stops a bit and takes Raina by surprise. He defends it a bit awkwardly back towards the bowler.

Wanindu Hasaranga to Suresh Raina
Once again the ball just stops a bit and induces the false shot from Raina. Raina looks to nudge it on the leg side but closes the face of the bat early. The ball goes off the leading edge towards backward point. He wants a run but is sent back.
16.5

Wanindu Hasaranga to Suresh Raina
FOUR! Dragged down and punished by Suresh Raina. Raina goes deep in his crease and pulls it hard towards wide long on. Devdutt Padikkal should have stopped it but fumbles and it's a free boundary for Chennai.
16.6

Wanindu Hasaranga to Suresh Raina
SIX! BANG! Suresh Raina has hit that one right off the screws. On leg stump and it's the wrong one again. Raina picks it and smokes it well over the square leg fence for a biggie. This should calm the nerves in the Chennai camp as it was getting close.

WIDE! Way down the leg side from around the stumps. Wide called and the scores are now level.

Harshal Patel to Suresh Raina
That's it, Chennai have won the game. Patel hurls across a length ball, on the middle stump line. Suresh Raina makes room for a big heave across the line but fails to middle his shot. It flies behind mid-wicket, Mohammed Siraj runs but it falls away. The batsmen cross. Chennai win by 6 wickets!
