3.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Varun Chakaravarthy draws first blood and that is why he has been brought so early into the attack! He bowls a leg-spin delivery flighted full and on an off-stump line. Ruturaj Gaikwad looks to get down on one knee and heave this into the leg side but gets an outside edge that lobs up towards the short third man fielder. Vaibhav Arora has the easiest of catches to take and he makes no mistake grabbing hold of the ball. Varun Chakaravarthy is emotionless and does not react as he just walks towards the huddle made by his team. Kolkata desperately needed this breakthrough as Chennai are capable of putting on a solid opening stand. 31/1

9.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Shardul Thakur gets rid of the set batter as soon as he comes into the attack. Nitish Rana's changes are doing the job for him. Excellent captaincy. Chennai lose their third wicket and the Chepauk has gone silent. It is a short ball, around middle. Conway swivels and pulls it to deep mid-wicket. Although he does not middle it and Rinku Singh makes no mistake in the deep. 66/3

8 OUT! CAUGHT! Simple catch for Jason Roy at long off. Ajinkya Rahane tries to break the shackles, but holes out instead. It is quicker and full, on off. Rahane dances down the track, gets to the pitch of the ball and lofts it high in the air towards long off. He does not get his timing right, and it does not travel the distance that he would've wanted. Varun Chakaravarthy is doing the trick for Kolkata early on here. 61/2

10.1 OUT! TIMBER! Sunil Narine gets a wicket finally and he also seems to be completely unemotional about it! This is tossed up full and just outside off, spinning into the stumps. Ambati Rayudu gets a stride forward and looks to sweep across the line but misses and his stumps are shuttered. Chennai lose their fourth wicket and the Ambati Rayudu's short stay at the wicket comes to an end. The hosts need a good partnership here so that their big hitters can go hard towards the end. 68/4

11 OUT! BOWLED! Moeen Ali has been castled and Sunil Narine ends the over in the same way that he started it! He gets this one to skid through on a shortish length and from just outside off. Moeen Ali looks to go on the back foot and defend this but gets beaten on the inside edge and his stumps are disturbed. Chennai have lost half their side now and are in a spot of bother. Kolkata will be absolutely thrilled with their bowling effort so far. 72/5

19.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Ravindra Jadeja could not apply the finishing touches here. Well through the inning for all the 5 wickets so far. The crowd went silent every single time, but now once Varun Chakaravarthy took the catch they are going beserk here, as they know MS Dhoni will be the next man in. Vaibhav Arora follows the batter down leg with a slower bumper. Jadeja goes for the ramp shot but ends up chipping it to short third man. Varun Chakaravarthy makes no mistake there. 140/6

4.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Deepak Chahar is on fire here. He picks up his third wicket in his third over. Kolkata are 33/3 at the moment - on the third delivery of this over as well. It is a full-length ball, wide outside off. Roy tries to drive it through the line, but only manages to get a thick outside edge on it. Maheesh Theekshana takes a dolly at short third man. 33/3

1 OUT! CAUGHT! Rahmanullah Gurbaz tries to break the shackles. He thinks that he has read the pitch well, although he ends up giving away his wicket. Deepak Chahar provides the host with the early wicket that they were after. This is very full, wide outside off. Rahmanullah Gurbaz reaches out and slashes hard at it. The ball catches the outside edge and flies high towards deep point. Tushar Deshpande runs to his right in the deep, and takes a sharp running catch near the ropes. 4/1

2.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Deepak Chahar has the last laugh here. Venkatesh Iyer was looking to be in good touch, but unfortunately he nicks it this time. It is a length ball, angling across, outside off. Venkatesh Iyer hangs back and tries to hit it through the line. Iyer goes through his shot but only manages to get a thick outside edge. Ravindra Jadeja is placed at the deep slip position, and he takes a really good low catch to break the second-wicket stand. Chennai have put the right foot forward so far. 21/2

17.1 OUT! RUN OUT! Chennai needed an outstanding piece of fielding to break this partnership! Matheesha Pathirana bowls this on a good length and outside the off stump. Rinku Singh pushes this towards cover and takes off for a quick single. Moeen Ali attacks the ball quickly and picks up the ball before taking aim at the non-striker's end. He gets a direct hit and replays confirm that Rinku Singh is well short of the crease. he has played a remarkable knock but has not been able to finish the game for Kolkata who lose their third wicket. 132/4
