8.2 OUT! CAUGHT! That will be the end of Curran's innings and it is Gopal who has struck! It is Buttler who has caught this one and even though he is not behind the wickets for this game, he is scalping some catches out there. Not the best shot by Curran and he has to depart because of this! Floated around off, Curran dances down the track and looks to go big but his shot does not have the juice required for it to cross the ropes and he holes out to Buttler at long off who takes an easy catch. 53/3

| Faf du Plessis | 10 | 9 | 1 | 0 | 111.11 |
|
3 OUT! Caught! Wonderful catch from Jos Buttler! He has taken an extremely good catch without the gloves on. Usually he has the gloves but Samson is handed the keeping responsiblity. Archer has a wicket to show for his wonderful start. Back of a length delivery around off, Faf du Plessis looks to flat-bat it towards point but he hits it to the left of short cover. Buttler there dives to his left like a football goal keeper and takes a stunner. 13/1

| Shane Watson | 8 | 3 | 2 | 0 | 266.66 |
|
4 OUT! CAUGHT! Watson departs! Tyagi has another big name to his wickets column in this tournament. Watson will be kicking himself for getting out in this way to this delivery. It is full and on the pads, there to be hit. Watson flicks but he does so uppishly and straight to Rahul Tewatia at short mid-wicket. He makes no mistake. Jubilation for Tyagi and Rajasthan. Chennai are in troubled waters now. 26/2

| Ambati Rayudu | 13 | 19 | 2 | 0 | 68.42 |
|
10 OUT! CAUGHT! This was so simple for Rajasthan! Rayudu was looking good but he will have to walk back now. This is a soft dismissal for Chennai. They would have wanted Rayudu to stay out there but he gifts his wicket away. Flatter on middle, Rayudu looks to sweep this one but it comes off his top edge and balloons towards the short fine leg region. Sanju Samson calls for it and takes a very simple catch in the end. 56/4

| MS Dhoni C Wk | 28 | 28 | 2 | 0 | 100 |

17.4 OUT! RUN OUT! Archer makes amends of his mistake and also very well done by Samson. Not Dhoni's evening. He struggled throughout and could not change gears. Again good bowling by Tyagi, full and away from Dhoni. He hits it to the left of Archer at long off. He fumbles again but this time makes up for it quickly. Dhoni decides to take the arms of Archer. Bad call. He sends his throw a bit wide at the keeper's end. Samson though does extremely well to collect the ball, stretch and disturbs the stumps. Replay rolls in and the T.V. umpires find Dhoni short of his crease. 107/5

3 OUT! TIMBER! What a comeback delivery and outcome this is for Chahar! Chennai needed a breakthrough right at the start and they have got just that. The very dangerous Englishman Stokes is walking balk to the hut. You could hear a squeal from Stokes as he seemed very disappointed with this outcome. Chahar dishes a back of a length ball around off, Stokes looks to work this one to the off side, it comes off the inside edge and goes onto disturb the stumps behind him. 26/1

| Robin Uthappa | 4 | 9 | 0 | 0 | 44.44 |
|
3.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Chennai striking back with wickets here. A very audacious shot from Uthappa. It was not needed at all at this stage. That is the thing with such strokes, when they come off, you look cool but when they don't, you look very bad. Good length ball around off, Uthappa looks to scoop it over the keeper by shuffling inside the stumps. The ball bounces a bit more than he anticipated as Hazlewood is a tall man. It hits the top part of the bat and lobs it behind to the keeper. One of the easiest catches, MS Dhoni would have taken in his life. 28/2

| Sanju Samson Wk | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
|
4.3 OUT! CAUGHT! WHAT A CATCH! MS Dhoni, you beauty! Brilliant from the young MS Dhoni! On the pads and shaping away. Samson looks to flick but tickles it to the left of Dhoni. He dives and takes a stunning one-handed catch. This game has turned on its head. Looks like it was ages ago, when Stokes was smashing it. Duck for Sanju and his tournament that started so well is turning out to be a disastrous one. 98 needed in 93 balls. 28/3
