4.6 overs (1 Run) CATCH IT...safe! Pace off the delivery, full and around off, Faf du Plessis dances down the track and is early into his flick shot. It flies towards mid on but falls in front of the fielder. They cross for a run. 8 coming from this over, 114 needed off 90 balls.

4.5 overs (0 Run) Patel delivers it very full and on middle, Faf du Plessis steps back to make room for a big shot but it takes the inner edge and sneaks behind the stumps. A good diving stop by Srikar Bharat to his left.

4.4 overs (0 Run) That is punched off the back foot but straight to the fielder at extra cover.

4.3 overs (1 Run) Slower one again, full and around off, some extra bounce, Ruturaj Gaikwad tries to defend but it takes the shoulder of his bat and rolls in the gap at covers. They cross.

4.2 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Muscled down the ground! Harshal bowls it short and wide outside off, Ruturaj Gaikwad shuffles across the stumps a bit and whacks it past the bowler and mid off for a boundary. A slower one picked nicely.

4.2 overs (1 Run) Short in length and outside off, Ruturaj Gaikwad plays it late but finds short third man. It's a no ball for overstepping.  Free Hit coming...

4.1 overs (1 Run) Patel begins with a slower one, full and on middle, du Plessis flicks it through mid-wicket and collects a single.

Harshal Patel is now brought into the attack. He replaces Mohammed Siraj (2-0-13-0).

3.6 overs (6 Runs) SIX! Dismissed! What a wonderful way to finish the over! Loopy delivery, full and landing on middle, doesn't matter it's a googly or leg spinner, Ruturaj Gaikwad is down the track in a flash, reaches the pitch of the ball immediately and launches it over long on. 10 from the over, Chennai have raced to 35 in 4 overs.

3.5 overs (0 Run) Spinning away from the batsman, on the shorter side, Ruturaj Gaikwad cuts from the back foot but finds the cover fielder.

3.4 overs (1 Run) Another wrong 'un, it's well picked by Faf as he goes back and works it through square leg for a run.

3.3 overs (0 Run) Short and outside off, Faf moves back and punches it to covers. Straight to the fielder this time.

3.2 overs (1 Run) Googly, short and around off, Ruturaj Gaikwad punches it to covers and steals a quick run.

3.1 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Sweetly played! Full and floated, landing around off, Ruturaj Gaikwad sits down on one knee and sweeps it to the deep square leg fence. Wow!

Here comes the first bowling change. Wanindu Hasaranga comes in to replace Navdeep Saini.

2.6 overs (1 Run) Full and angling in on middle, Ruturaj Gaikwad bunts it down in front of mid on and takes a quick run.

2.5 overs (2 Runs) Straighter in line, it's been flicked with good timing to the left of the deep square leg fielder. Two taken.

2.4 overs (1 Run) Aiyyooo...some extra bounce. Slower one, on a length around leg, it grips and jumps onto the batsman. Du Plessis is taken by surprise and somehow gets it away from the splice of the bat. The ball rolls in the gap on the leg side and they cross.

Faf du Plessis is unhappy with the movement around the sightscreen. This is the second time that Mohammed Siraj has been stopped mid-way through his delivery stride due to movement behind him. The umpire sorts it out and the play can go on.

The batsman pulls out.

2.3 overs (0 Run) Two dots in a row now. Mohammed Siraj fires in a length ball on middle and leg, angling in, Faf du Plessis fails to middle his shot properly and it deflects off his pads to covers.  He looks for a run but is sent back.

2.2 overs (0 Run) Back of a length, around off, Faf du Plessis punches it firmly off his back foot to covers but finds the fielder inside the ring.

2.1 overs (1 Run) AERIAL! Just short of the fielder. Siraj darts in cross-seam delivery, on a fuller length around off, Ruturaj Gaikwad tries to flick but shuts the face of his bat a bit early. It goes aerially to short third man but doesn't carry to Navdeep Saini stationed there. The batsmen cross.

1.6 overs (0 Run) Saini gets away with a poor delivery. A full toss on middle, du Plessis hangs back and pushes it to covers. A dot ball to finish a 10-run over.

1.5 overs (2 Runs) Short and around off, du Plessis turns it through square leg and scampers back for the second run.

1.4 overs (1 Run) Saini goes short and delivers it outside off, Ruturaj Gaikwad punches it off his back foot to deep backward point for a single.

1.3 overs (1 Run) Back of a length, on middle and leg, angling down, Faf tries to glance it across the line but it takes his thigh pad and rolls to square leg. A leg bye is pinched.

1.2 overs (6 Runs) SIX! Faf du Plessis brings out the innovation very early in the chase and has nailed it all the way. Nothing wrong with the delivery, just the class of the batsman. Navdeep Saini sticks to the line outside off, it's served on a length, du Plessis shuffles across the stumps and scoops it all the way over fine leg. Fantastic!

1.1 overs (0 Run) Starts his spell with a shortish ball on off, du Plessis remains on the back foot and pushes it to covers.

Navdeep Saini to steam in from the opposite end.

0.6 over (1 Run) In the region outside off, Faf plays late and helps it down to third man for another run. 8 from the first over.

0.5 over (1 Run) On a length and closer to off, Ruturaj Gaikwad guides it down to third man for a single.

0.4 over (4 Runs) FOUR! Poor length and line. Short and wide outside off, Ruturaj Gaikwad attacks it with all his power and slaps it through the line. It drops in front of the point fielder and bounces over him to go to the fence.

0.3 over (1 Run) Uppish but in the gap! Short in length again, outside off, du Plessis slices his attempted square-cut wide of backward point. They cross.

0.2 over (0 Run) Back of a length, outside off, Faf du Plessis stays back and plays it down to the off side. He lets out a big shout of no immediately.

0.1 over (1 Run) Shot, great timing. This shows that Gaikwad has been in excellent form. Fuller in length, outside off, Ruturaj Gaikwad strides forward and drives it to the left of mid off for a single. Chennai are underway.
