- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR18.2 Slot ball ends Sudharsan's knock. He looked to slap a full, wide 132ks ball down the ground. Got on one knee and almost seemed to try and go inside out. Bat turned outwards and it went right under long-off's throat. Batter smacks hit bat on the way back, good innings though 207/212.2 Out? Midwicket runs back, great catch from Dube. Took it head-high and fell back into the ground, landed his left elbow first to ensure ball didn't get close to ground. Gill shakes his head and walks back. 140ks fullish ball from around the wicket, Gill looking to use the angle by flicking it with whippy wrists. Got low and swished with good hand speed, got it low off the bat 125/118.3 Big cheers for a direct hit at the non-striker's. Tewatia slid the bat but didn't hurry... and the first replay shows he's inches behind as the bails lit up. Was a yorker on off that was driven along the ground. Gaikwad picked the ball up to his right after running across and threw it on the bounce 207/319.6 Given caught behind. Seam-up from around the wicket. Slot ball with a sharp angle away. Sundar looked to slap it over extra, got a feather to the keeper 229/4Extras17 (lb 3, nb 1, w 13)TOTAL229/4 (20 Overs, RR: 11.45)Fall of wickets: 1-125 (Shubman Gill, 12.2 ov), 2-207 (Sai Sudharsan, 18.2 ov), 3-207 (Rahul Tewatia, 18.3 ov), 4-229 (Washington Sundar, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 Samson is gone first ball! Siraj strikes with the outswinger! It's full and wide and swinging away. Samson goes chasing after it without any foot movement. Gets a thin edge and that's gobbled up by Buttler! 0/15.1 Another one bites the dust! Rabada removes the dangerous-looking Matt Short! This is a 149kph length ball outside off that just seams in a touch. Short is looking to swing it down the ground and gets it off the inside edge. Second catch of the day for Prasidh, and he won't get too many simpler chances than that 51/42.2 Siraj knocks Gaikwad over! Gaikwad was looking for another one of those pickup shots. Siraj pulls back his length slightly and it jags in from outside off. Gaikwad tried to play the same shot as the last ball but misses the ball completely and the ball crashes into top of off. Away goes Siraj for his Siuuuu-lebration. Gaikwad's intent today would have been a breath of fresh air for CSK fans, but the knock is over too early, from their perspective 29/22.4 This goes high in the air and Siraj does have his third wicket of the day! 143kph length ball seams in from outside off and Urvil goes for that pick-up flick. Doesn't get it off the middle and ends up skying it to deep square leg and Prasidh Krishna ends Urvil's homecoming on a sour note 29/36.6 Direct hit and Gill raises his finger himself! Full outside off and Kartik thrashes a drive to mid-off and takes off for a single. He puts in the dive but Gill is on target at the non-striker's end. And his the edge of his bat is just hovering over the crease when the ball hits the stumps so Kartik Sharma will have to make the long walk back! Gill's great day getting better! 63/512.4 Kamboj at point and now Brevis at cover. Googly at 96ks but that was a wide long-hop. There to hit it out of the ground. Brevis' baseball-style swipe got the ball off the top-half and Holder took the dolly. That should be the game done 138/810.3 Unreal from Gill, takes a Phillips-esque catch and shushes the crowd! He ran back from midwicket, settled for a moment, then leapt like there was an invisible swimming pool behind him. Timed it to perfection as the ball went right into hand. 89ks length ball just outside off, the googly spun away. Dube had a slightly open stance and looked to slap it over cover. Chunked it off the upper half 116/612.1 Rashid cuts short Kamboj's party. Lures him with a wide 92ks length ball without flight. Kamboj looks to drag it across with a flat-bat swipe. Toed it right up, loops down to backward point 136/713.3 Rushed and Rabada takes the easiest of c&bs! 141ks shortish ball following him as Noor went just down leg, Noor tried to fend it leg side last second, the ball popped up off the splice and went to the off side of the pitch. Stayed there for a while 140/913.4 Appeal for caught behind, not given. GT review. Johnson removes his gloves and helmet, looks like this is out. Hard length on middle and off, Johnson showed all three stumps and looked to defend straight... and Hawk-Eye shows he got a thin feather. GT, with a net run rate 0.699, have all but confirmed their spot in the top-two.
