| Parthiv Patel Wk | 53 | 41 | 5 | 2 | 129.26 |
|
12.5 OUT! Taken! Caught and bowled by Jadeja! Chennai are completely bossing this game! Floated delivery, spins in a little, Patel looks to flick that one. He gets a soft leading edge back to the bowler and Jadeja takes a simple return catch. Bangalore have lost half their side and are struggling big time. 84/5

| Brendon McCullum | 5 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 166.66 |
|
1.2 OUT! High in the air and taken! Shardul fumbles, but he holds on to it on the second attempt! Slower one from Ngidi does the trick. McCullum charges down the track and had to reach out for that one. He gets a thick top edge to mid on. Shardul settles under it and pouches it safely after popping it out on the first occasion. Early strike for Chennai and they see the back of Brendon. 9/1

| Virat Kohli C | 8 | 11 | 1 | 0 | 72.72 |
|
6.1 OUT! GONE! Jadeja strikes first ball and wears a shocking look on his face as he doesn't know what just happened. False shot from Kohli. It was a quicker one from Jadeja and it skids through after pitching. Kohli stays back and looks to play with the angled bat but is done in for the pace. The ball beats the outer half of the bat and knocks the stumps over. Massive blow to Bangalore! 47/2
|

| AB de Villiers | 1 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 25 |
|
7.3 OUT! Stumped and the Bangalore dugout looks absolutely stunned! ABD is out of here. So, both the star batsmen fail to make an impact. Tossed up, quicker through the air around middle and leg. De Villiers gets down to play the reverse sweep but gets beaten by the slight turn down the leg side. Also, he loses his balance and in the process his back leg drags out of the crease. Dhoni behind the stumps is quick as ever as he wastes no time in dislodging the bails. Bangalore innings in complete doldrums? 56/3
|
|||||
| Mandeep Singh | 7 | 13 | 0 | 0 | 53.84 |
|
11 OUT! Straight to the man in the deep! Bangalore lose another! Jadeja picks up his second. Faster one on middle and leg, Mandeep goes across and sweeps. He gets a top edge to deep square leg where Willey takes a good catch inside the ropes. 73/4
|
|||||
| Colin de Grandhomme | 8 | 8 | 1 | 0 | 100 |
|
14.1 OUT! Another one bites the dust! Short of length ball, angling in from outside off. De Grandhomme goes for the big pull but is done in by the extra bounce. The ball goes off the splice and lobs towards covers where Raina takes a sitter inside the circle. Maiden wicket for Willey in the Indian T20 League and he is delighted. 87/7
|
|||||
| Murugan Ashwin | 1 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 50 |
|
13.1 OUT! Back leg on the line and Ashwin has to depart! Floated off break, straightens a bit, Ashwin was completely foxed by that one, he misses and loses his balance as well. Dhoni quickly breaks the stumps and appeals. It's taken upstairs and the TV umpire is convinced that there is nothing behind the line. 85/6

| Tim Southee | 36 | 26 | 3 | 1 | 138.46 |

| Umesh Yadav | 1 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 20 |
|
15.1 OUT! Umesh is well short! Yadav pushes it to the man at mid off and calls for a quick single. Willey attacks the ball, gathers it cleanly and scores a bull's eye at the bowler's end. They take it upstairs and replays find that the Indian pacer is well short. Things continue to go wrong for Bangalore. 89/8
|

| Mohammed Siraj | 3 | 7 | 0 | 0 | 42.85 |
|
20 OUT! Run out! Low full toss on the stumps, Mohammed Siraj aims to hit that one out of the park but gets it off the toe end of the bat to wide long on. They want the second and go after it. Ambati Rayudu from the deep returns an accurate throw to Dhoni who takes the bails off as Siraj dives to get in. Replays show that he's well short and the third umpire signals it out. CHENNAI RESTRICT BANGALORE TO 127/9! 127/9

|
3 OUT! Bowled 'em! Watson departs and that's what Bangalore needed. An early wicket. Yadav comes steaming in and hurls a fuller delivery at a fiery pace. Watson was backing away to make room for the drive. But the ball dips in, beats the bat and castles his furniture behind. 18/1

| Ambati Rayudu | 32 | 25 | 3 | 2 | 128 |
|
11.1 OUT! Murugan Ashwin strikes on the very first ball. If my memory serves me right, in the game against Kolkata he removed Narine on the very first ball of his spell. Drops it short, serves it wider on off as Rayudu goes hard at it. Gets a thick outside edge to spoon a simple catch to Mohammed Siraj at short third man. 78/3

| Suresh Raina | 25 | 21 | 2 | 1 | 119.04 |
|
8.4 OUT! Clean take, take a bow Southee! Short of a length delivery on middle, Suresh Raina backs away and swings across the line. Doesn't get it off the middle and it goes towards long on. Seemed like it would clear Tim there but... No. The tall Kiwi pacer leaps, takes it over his head near the rope. Now the momentum takes him over the line so he shows good awareness as he lobs the ball up, goes inside the rope and then comes back to catch it again. Never easy to take those but he has made it look really simple. They however, take it upstairs and the TV umpire is happy with Southee's effort. 66 needed from 68 balls. 62/2

| Dhruv Shorey | 8 | 9 | 0 | 1 | 88.88 |
|
12.2 OUT! Another one gone! Are Bangalore coming back? Only time will tell. Short and wide outside off, Shorey looks to go hard at it. He cuts it but fails to keep it down and it's a simple catch to Mandeep Singh at backward point. Wasn't a wicket-taking delivery but Bangalore wouldn't mind it at all. 80/4
