Piyush Chawla to Robin Uthappa
OUT! CAUGHT! Another one falls and Chennai making a fine comeback here! Chawla returns and bowls a fuller one outside off, Uthappa drills it towards long off. Faf du Plessis is there. Moves a bit to his left and takes a good tumbling catch.

Piyush Chawla to Rahul Tewatia
Another run! Just 5 from Chawla's over. And the wicket of Uthappa too. Flatter and around off, Tewatia looks to play it towards covers but the ball takes outside edge and goes wide of Dhoni's gloves towards third man. A run taken. Chawla's horror day ends. 1/55 in his 4 overs.

Lungi Ngidi to Steven Smith
FOUR! Nicely done! Creative from the skipper! Uses the pace of the bowler and scoops it over short fine leg and gets a boundary. Falls over in the process but who cares. Smith has got a boundary.

W
Sam Curran to Rahul Tewatia
OUT! LBW! The review will not save Tewatia! That looked plumb but Smith and Tewatia gambled with the review towards the end. Curran with the knack of taking wickets strikes. He bowls a fuller one around off and middle, Tewatia tries to flick it but misses to get hit on the pads. They all go up in appeal. The finger goes up. Tewatia goes to his skipper who asks him to refer it upstairs. Replays roll in and show that the onfield call is correct one. So Tewatia has to go.

Sam Curran to Riyan Parag
OUT! CAUGHT! Chennai are pulling it back brilliantly. Curran it is again. This young lad keeps on getting better and better. He bowls a slower one outside off, Parag looks to run it down to third man but ends up getting a faint nick behind to the keeper. Dhoni there dives forward and gobbles it up. Barely an appeal there from anyone on the field as Parag walk back.

Sam Curran to Steven Smith
OUT! CAUGHT! Smith holes out near the ropes. A fine innings from him though. He is disappointed with himself but a top knock from the skipper. Good length ball on middle, Smith flicks it superbly. Times it so well but it goes straight down the throat of Kedar Jadhav at deep square leg.

Sam Curran to Tom Curran
FOUR! EDGY RUN! Tom won't mind though. A perfect yorker around off. Tom looks to keep it out but gets a thick outside edge and the ball races away to the fence.

Sam Curran to Tom Curran
NOT OUT! Brilliant throw from Jadeja but equally well done by Archer. A fuller ball around off, it is stroked towards long on. They want two. Jadeja there gets to the ball and fires the throw and hits it at the non-striker's end. They appeal and the third umpire has been called for again. Replays roll in and it shows that Archer did well to drag his bat in.
