9.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Mitchell Santner has the last laugh and he picks up a huge wicket thanks to some stellar work on the fence from fellow Kiwi Daryl Mitchell. Santner gives this one a bit more flight and drifts it full onto the legs, Virat Kohli looks to flick it aerially but tries to go straighter this time and ends up closing the bat face early. The ball gets chipped down to long on where Daryl Mitchell takes the catch and has the presence of mind to lob the ball up as he back tracks and goes over the ropes before coming back in and touching it safely. 78/1

13 OUT! RUN OUT! So, so unfortunate for Faf du Plessis and Bengaluru! Mitchell Santner bowls this quick again, full and on middle, Rajat Patidar drills it really hard down the pitch, and Santner goes ground and tries to stop it with his right hand, but the ball takes the slightest of deflection of his finger and crashes onto the stumps at the bowler's end with Faf trying to get back to his crease. After a few replays, the third umpire deems that Faf's bat was still in the air when the stumps were broken. UltraEdge shows a spike when the ball passes the finger and the home captain has to walk back now. The Bengaluru hut is a bit disappointed with that decision but the evidence shows that it is the right one. 113/2

17.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Daryl Mitchell with another perfectly judged catch in the deep and Shardul Thakur gets a vital wicket. Thakur takes pace off this one and serves a dipping full toss on the stumps, Rajat Patidar makes a bit of room to get under it and whack it away but the ball goes off the toe end of the bat. It is lofted high and towards the long on fence where Mitchell takes it around his head and yet again lobs it up so that he can go out of bonds and come back in to pouch it safely. A solid cameo from Patidar though. 184/3

18.5 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Tushar Deshpande pushes the ball wide of the off stump yet again but bowls it on a heavy length this time. Dinesh Karthik goes chasing after it and ends up getting a fine outside edge that carries through to the keeper and MS Dhoni makes no mistake behind the stumps. DK will feel he has done his job but Deshpande finally gets a wicket. 201/4

19.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Shardul Thakur does get rid of Glenn Maxwell with one ball remaining in the innings. Thakur brings out the slower one and bowls it into the pitch and at the batter. Maxwell is taken aback and just goes after it but the ball goes off the top edge and id lobbed high around square leg. MS Dhoni calls for it from behind the stumps and take sit safely. 218/5

0.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Would you believe it? The Chennai skipper, their backbone, departs first ball in a crunch game and Ruturaj Gaikwad is very disappointed with himself. Glenn Maxwell with the golden arm though. Maxwell starts from over the stumps and drops it short over middle, turning it in, Gaikwad just looks to rock back and help it on its way but tamely lobs it in front of short fine where Yash Dayal leans forward to take the catch. What a start to the chase! 0/1

13 OUT! RUN OUT! Catastrophe! That is the last thing Chennai wanted after Shivam Dube got a life and now they lose the set-batter instead. Glenn Maxwell bowls it a bit fuller and angles it into the legs, Rachin Ravindra flicks it away just behind square leg and the batters look for two. Mahipal Lomror in the deep gets to it and fires in a throw at the keeper's end and Dinesh Karthik whips off the bails as Ravindra is nowhere to be seen. Ravindra seemed to have called no on the second run but Dube had his head straight and just didn't stop. 115/4

2.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Instant impact from Yash Dayal and what a revelation he has been for Bengaluru in these later stages. Dayal drags the length back and bangs it in a bit around leg stump. Daryl Mitchell tries to hang back and back away to go over mid-wicket but gets into an awkward position and ends up scooping it wide of mid off. Virat Kohli gets across and takes it easily and boy, he is really pumped at the moment. 19/2

9.1 OUT! TAKEN! Lockie Ferguson strikes straightaway! A massive wicket for Bengaluru as this partnership was starting to hurt them. The Kiwi starts with a slower one, full and on off, Ajinkya Rahane looks to go over mid off but mistimes his shot due to the lack of pace, the ball goes high in the air, Faf du Plessis at covers settles under it, and pouches it safely. Rahane goes back after a decent knock but Chennai lose their third now! 85/3

13.4 OUT! CAUGHT! The plan to bowl quick and short to Shivam Dube has worked and Bengaluru pick up a couple of quick wickets to get into the driver's seat. Cameron Green comes from around the stumps and bangs it in short and at the batter. Dube looks to hang back and pull but gets hurried on and ends up hitting it straight down the throat of Lockie Ferguson at long on. 119/5

15 OUT! CAUGHT! A bolt out of the blue! Faf du Plessis with probably the catch of the season and the crowd has gone berserk inside the Chinnaswamy. Mohammed Siraj runs in and serves a low full toss outside the off stump, Mitchell Santner doesn't quite get under it and ends up hitting it just over mid off. The ball seems to be going over but Faf leaps up and sticks out a right hand before touching it out of thin air. The hangtime was unreal and no one can quite believe it. 129/6

19.2 OUT! TAKEN! Oh..another twist in the tale! MS Dhoni has to walk back and Yash Dayal gets a huge wicket now. He brings out the slower one again, full and on leg. MS Dhoni tries to go for the big slog but gets a bit of a top edge towards deep square leg, Swapnil Singh settles under it and takes the catch under immense pressure. MS Dhoni will be disappointed as that was there to be put away but he has played a good cameo here. 190/7
