Did that carry? A lovely bit of bowling from Shivang Kumar. It is the wrong'un, floated up around off. Sarfaraz Khan skips down the pitch and goes after it but doesn't get to the pitch of the ball. Khan ends up skewing it towards short third, where Praful Hinge runs forward and the ball just falls short of him.

Flatter delivery on off, Short looks to cut close to the body but drags it back to the bowler.

Another wrong'un from Kumar, not all that full. Short looks to drive but gets an outside edge down to short third.

Shorter this time, on off, eased off the back foot and through covers for one.

Oh, that's sloppy fielding from the bowler. Tossed up, full on off, driven straight to extra cover for one. The throw at the bowler's end is fumbled by the bowler and the batters do well to sneak in an extra run.

FOUR! The extra run conceded on the last ball and now it's adding insult to injury. Dragged down, well short on leg, Sarfaraz Khan gets inside the line and whips it flat over short fine leg for a boundary.

Full ball, aimed in at the toes, hoicked away to deep mid-wicket for one. Short looks for the second but Sarfaraz sends him back.

Pitched up full again and outside off, Khan comes down the pitch, goes too hard at it and loses his shape. Ends up heaving it across towards wide deep mid-wicket for one.

Sakib keeps the length full and bowls it at the pads, Matthew Short flicks it to the left of deep backward square leg and picks up a couple of handy runs.

Off-cutter, dug in short, over off and middle. Sarfaraz Khan arches back to play the upper-cut but the ball spins back to cramp Khan for room and he fails to connect.

OUT! CAUGHT! Eshan Malinga strikes on his return to the attack. Malinga goes full and straight, at the stumps. Sarfaraz clears the front leg and uses his bottom hand in a bid to go big on the leg side. The bat turns in his hand and the top hand comes off the bat handle. Neither does he get any elevation, nor does he pick the gap. Hits it flat and straight down the throat of deep square leg, where Nitish Kumar Reddy makes no mistake. The 46-run stand has been broken. CSK are 112/4, chasing 195.

Malinga bangs it in short, just outside off. Brevis gets into a bit of tangle and takes his eyes off the ball as he leaves.

Eshan sticks to the short ball but this time, it is the pace off option. Dewald gets on his toes and sways away. End of a successful over from Malinga. A wicket and just the single off it. CSK need 83 runs in 54 balls.

OUT! CAUGHT! Just before the start of the over, Simon Doull wondered whether Ishan Kishan brought back Shivang Kumar to lure these two right-handers into the big shot. And on cue, Dewald Brevis has fallen to the bait. Loopy ball, full and around off. Brevis puts his head down and swings to launch it back over the bowler's head. It is the googly and Brevis ends up cutting across the line of the ball. It is skied to long off, where Liam Livingstone stays side on and takes the catch to his right, well in front of the ropes.
