Tough fight ahead for CSK
With this, Punjab stands with 8 points while Chennai is in for a tough fight with 4 points on the table. Ravindra Jadeja and MS Dhoni's team will have to dig deep to keep their glowing IPL play-off qualification record intact.
Rayudu moves to 46! Just clears backward point. Short and wide again, goes to uppercut this a touch and just clears Rishi Dhawan at backward point leaping in vain
Rayudu has managed to pierce that gap! Short and wide, cuts this in the air just wide of backward point, sloppy diving effort can't corral the ball and goes to the rope.
Rishi Dhawan gets a huge wicket on his return! Dube doesn't really get his feet moving though throughout his stay and pokes at this with a big gap between bat and pad, gets an inside edge that cannons into leg stump
Much-needed boundary for Santner and CSK. Leg-byes though. He goes to flick and is late, big carom off the thigh guard goes well wide of the keeper to the rope for four extras.
Sandeep gets Uthappa! Length ball swings the other way in to the body. He tries to heave this over midwicket but is off balance and it climbs on him a touch to produce a top edge.
Gaikwad is up and running! Short on sixth stump. Not too much width but enough for Gaikwad to time a minimalistic punch off the back foot behind point to the rope.
The slower one does the trick for Bravo! Livingstone doesn't middle it. Instead he gets a top edge and it flies high in the air and settles in the hands of the fielder at short third
Liam Livingstone c Mukesh Choudhary b Bravo 19 (7)
Bravo on the money! Slower one and Rajapaksa goes hard at it, looking possibly to clear long-off. Doesn't get hold of it, slices it high in the air, and extra-cover settles nicely under it
Dhawan shuffles across and loops this towards fine-leg. Attempted yorker on the stumps, ends up as a full-toss, and he scoops it smartly over short fine leg
50 for Dhawan! Slower ball close to the off-side tramline, and he shuffles across and gets close enough to the line to play a controlled sweep to bisect square leg and short fine leg
Poor from Bravo! Stump-high full-toss outside off, offers room for Rajapaksa to free his arms and slash at the ball. Beats short third-man for a boundary.
Santner drops it at deep midwicket. Flat length ball fired across to off stump, and Rajapaksa gets down on his back knee, premeditating the slog sweep. Six runs
Theekshana strikes in the powerplay! Agarwal picked it, but he didn't get the room he desired to be able to play that front-foot cut. Ends up hitting it straight to backward point.
PBKS have been cautious so far. But this is an excellent shot from Mayank. Back of a length and wide outside off, and Agarwal cuts it away to the right of backward point
