- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.4 and now he's bowled Vijay! Terrific over from RP, this ball angled across the right-hander and pitched on a good length, Vijay came forward and aimed to heave the ball over midwicket, swinging across the line. The ball nipped back in and sped through the large gap between bat and pad and hit off stump 52/25.2 Faf has been run out, Vijay's done him in. The ball was on a good length and straight, Vijay pushed it towards mid-on and called for the single and ran. Faf responded quickly and set off, and then Vijay stopped and went back. Faf had no hope unless the throw from mid-on missed, it did not. RP Singh was the fielder 47/114.1 RP's pulled off a screamer at point! He moved to his left and lunged quite a long way to intercept Raina's cut with both hands. The ball was of gentle pace and had generous width, Raina reached out for it and didn't cut it as hard as he would have liked. A half-hearted stroke against a seemingly harmless ball 114/317.5 Malinga replies with a fast and straight yorker and uproots leg stump. It tailed back into Bravo after initially swerving away from the right-hander. He just played around it 158/418.3 caught right on the edge of the long-on boundary! It was a length ball, there for hitting. Dhoni stayed in his crease, got under the ball and launched it flat. He just did not get enough elevation, which allowed Rohit to time his jump perfectly and prevent the ball from going for six 162/518.6 bowled him! Morkel made room by moving way outside leg stump, RP Singh followed him with a yorker, the ball crashed into the pads and rebounded on to the stumps after Morkel missed the flick 169/619.5 caught at point! Not a very good ball, length with some width outside off, it was a touch slower though, Jadeja cut it straight to Franklin 173/719.6 and he's overtaken Morkel now! Ashwin tries to slog the final ball over the leg side, he ends up mis-hitting it to Harbhajan at midwicket, sliced it high in the air 173/8Extras9 (lb 4, w 5)TOTAL173/8 (20 Overs, RR: 8.65)Fall of wickets: 1-47 (Faf du Plessis, 5.2 ov), 2-52 (Murali Vijay, 6.4 ov), 3-114 (Suresh Raina, 14.1 ov), 4-158 (Dwayne Bravo, 17.5 ov), 5-162 (MS Dhoni, 18.3 ov), 6-169 (Albie Morkel, 18.6 ov), 7-173 (Ravindra Jadeja, 19.5 ov), 8-173 (Ravichandran Ashwin, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 caught at mid-on, Franklin was under pressure and he's cracked. After seven dots against Hilfenhaus, he swats a good length ball straight to Vijay. A limp shot 8/115.5 Faf has pulled off a stunning catch at cover, and it needed something as special as that to end this partnership. Tendulkar backed away towards leg and hit the ball inside out, smashing it flat over cover. Faf jumped, stuck out his right hand and plucked the ball out of the air. The ball was nearly past him when he caught that, arching his back 134/217.6 this is probably a game-changing over. Rohit backed away towards leg to hit through the off side, Jadeja fired the ball in flat, quick and on a great length. Rohit was beaten and leg stump landed in Dhoni's gloves. The $2 million man earning his wages. 149/516.6 bowled him! Karthik moved a long way across his stumps to flick a full ball behind square. Fine leg was in the circle so Karthik exposed middle and leg stump to try and get a third boundary in the over. He missed and Bravo hit middle and leg 147/317.3 bowled him! Chennai are clawing back into this game. Rayudu got down on one knee and slogged across the line, Jadeja skidded the ball through and hit middle stump 148/418.3 Faf's on fire in the field! He's run out Peterson and it's Chennai's game now. Bravo pitched in the blockhole outside off, well inside the tram line this time, Peterson dug it out towards mid-off and ran. Faf sprinted to the ball from the extra cover region, collected and threw at one stump while on the move. He hit. Peterson was not even in the frame. 151/618.6 well he's out now! Harbhajan Singh got a full toss, a low one outside off, but he could only swat it flat to Saha the substitute on the long-on boundary 158/719.2 middle stump has been flattened and Smith watches helplessly from the non-striker's end. It was an accurate yorker from Hilfenhaus, Malinga cleared his front foot and slogged, he should have been looking to give Smith the strike instead 159/8Extras3 (w 3)TOTAL174/8 (20 Overs, RR: 8.7)Did not bat: MM PatelFall of wickets: 1-8 (James Franklin, 2.2 ov), 2-134 (Sachin Tendulkar, 15.5 ov), 3-147 (Dinesh Karthik, 16.6 ov), 4-148 (Ambati Rayudu, 17.3 ov), 5-149 (Rohit Sharma, 17.6 ov), 6-151 (Robin Peterson, 18.3 ov), 7-158 (Harbhajan Singh, 18.6 ov), 8-159 (Lasith Malinga, 19.2 ov)
