2.1 to AT Rayudu, Archer has Rayudu chopping his first ball onto the stumps. Back of a length and outside off, 142.3ks, Rayudu throws his bat at the ball and aims to chop it away through point. Instead, the ball does not come on, takes the inside edge, and leaves Rayudu's stumps in a mess. 19/1 11.3 to SR Watson, got him! Jofra making it talk with his pace! Short of a length ball on off stump and once again he's late on the pull. This time it's angled in at his body so the swinging room is lesser. It hits the bat higher. Buttler skips to his left and tells short fine leg to stay out of his way to put his gloves to good use. 105/2

12.6 to SK Raina, taken at short fine. Binny pedals backwards and falls awkwardly on his back, but he's held on with the reverse cup. Another ungainly hoick by Raina against a googly he hasn't picked. More a sweep, in fact. Regulation top-edge taken at 45. 119/3

David Willey	4	0	47	1	11.75	5	5	2	1	0
18.6 to K Gowtham, Willey hits a hard length outside off. Gowtham throws his bat at the ball and edges it behind. Dhoni snags the catch. Gowtham walks back for 13 off 4. He has set it up for Buttler and Archer. 165/6
Harbhajan Singh	2	0	29	1	14.50	5	4	2	0	0
3.6 to BA Stokes, four, six, and out! Stokes screams in agony. He runs down the track, Harbhajan bowls a slider, angling in from around the stumps, Stokes does not meet the pitch, the spinner hits the middle stump. 48/1
Ravindra Jadeja	4	0	28	1	7.00	8	3	0	0	0
4.4 to AM Rahane, Jadeja draws an outside edge, Raina snaffles it at slip. Drifts in from around the wicket, turns and bounces. Rahane simply wafts and edges it, the ball bounces out of Dhoni's gloves but into the hands of Raina. CSK's spinners hit back with two wickets in two overs. 53/2
Shardul Thakur	4	0	22	1	5.50	14	3	0	1	0
12.4 to P Chopra, chipped straight to midwicket. Fast hands too fast from Chopra. This is on the leg stump as well, but shorted than the last one. He's closed the face too early on this and it's off the inside half, straight to the fielder. 109/4

17.4 to STR Binny, DJ has Binny holing out off a knee-high full-toss. Drop, six, out. That's T20 cricket for you. Binny eyes up the leg side, instead he leading-edges it in the air. Watson settles under this skier at cover. 146/5
