DK swivels and pulls it over the fine leg fence for a biggie. Asif gave away just 11 from his first two and goes for 21 in his third. 141/4

12.1Just wide! A very good attempt by the bowler, it is never easy to take it in your followthrough. Fuller ball on middle, Gill drives it uppishly to the left of the bowler. Bravo goes low and stretches his hand out but it goes just wide towards mid off.

11.6FOUR! DK is up and running! Sees the length is short, DK makes room and slaps it behind point to get off the mark in style. 100 comes up for his side. It was a good over but the boundary on the last ball spoils it. 101/4

11.4OUT! Bowled 'em! Harbhajan Singh with a breakthrough and he is all smiles. Sends it quicker through the air, lands it full on the sticks. Rinku Singh makes room to go big but misses and hears the death rattle. So, the move to promote Rinku ahead doesn't work. 81 required from 50 balls.

9.4Dances down the track and seeing this Harbhajan drags his length back a bit. It's bunted back to the bowler.

9.3Comes from over the wicket, pitches it around off and turns back into Gill who gets across to sweep but misses and wears it on the pads. A stifled appeal for an LBW which is paid no heed to.

9.2Goes back and works it through mid-wicket for a single.

9.1FOUR! Deft! Tossed up delivery from around the wicket, it turns away a bit, Rinku stays leg side and dabs it off Dhoni's gloves and wide of the slip fielder for a boundary. He's playing nicely at the moment.

8.6On the stumps, defended back to Jadeja. 80/3

8.5Rocks back and punches it wide of the cover fielder for a single.

8.4Too close to off stump to play the cut shot but RS still goes after it. Beaten.

8.4FIVE BONUS RUNS! Quicker and fuller down leg, Rinku can't put bat on ball and Dhoni is blinded behind the stumps. It races away for free runs.

8.3NOT OUT! Rinku is in! Flatter delivery outside off, Rinku goes back to play the late cut but gets a bottom edge which hits the ground, hits Dhoni's pads and deflects back on to the stumps. MS appeals and it's taken upstairs. Replays show Rinku's back leg was grounded in time.

On the shorter side, quicker through the air, Sunil goes back to send it over deep mid-wicket but gets it off the top portion of the bat to long on where Dwayne Bravo accepts another catch. Delight in the Chennai camp.

6.3Tucks this flatter delivery behind square and hares across for a brace.

6.1Flatter from over the wicket, dabbed with an angled blade to short third man.

5.6FOUR! In the air... but through the gap. Third boundary from the over and the young man is off the blocks in a jiffy.

4.4Changes the pace and delivers it around off, Narine gets foxed by it.

4.3FOUR! Sloppy from Harbhajan Singh! This is not what Chennai want. They are usually a good fielding unit but tonight they aren't upto the mark. Fuller delivery, sprayed across outside off. Narine goes hard at it but gets an edge which races towards third man. Bhajji out in the deep makes a mess of it and concedes a boundary.

4.2OUT! Asif strikes and removes Uthappa! He sends a quicker short ball, it skids off the deck. Robin tries to drag his pull from outside off but gets a healthy top edge. The ball balloons high up in the air towards mid-wicket. Dwayne Bravo from mid on moves across to his right and takes it safely. Two wickets down inside the Powerplay and Kolkata need 138 from 94 balls.

4.1Fuller delivery outside off, pushed off the front foot to the cover fielder.

4.1Wide! Strangles one down leg, Robin looks to clip it away but fails to put bat on ball.

3.6FOUR! There is no third man and the top edge flies down safely! Narine is making the most of his reprieves! Watson fires it full and slants it wider than the southpaws reach. Sunil still goes after it and slices it over third man for another streaky boundary. Moves to 20 from 12 balls. 39/1

2.4Misses out on a juicy full toss does Narine. A play and a miss and it goes on the bounce to Dhoni.

2.3FOUR! This is a much better shot from Uthappa! Short of a length delivery on middle, Narine pulls it over mid-wicket for a boundary. He will continue to play his shots, no matter what.

2.2FOUR! Top edge and it's over the slip fielder! This will hurt Jadeja all the more. Touch shorter, served outside off, Narine gives it the full swing of the bat. Gets a top edge and it flies over the slip fielder and goes down to the third man fence.

2.1Robin is happy to milk a single by dabbing it down to third man.

1.6Back-to-back drops! Ravindra Jadeja is the man again. This is really, really hard to believe. Sunil Narine has gotten two lives in two deliveries. Back of a length outside off, Narine tries to hit it over mid off but the bat turns at the point of impact and he mistimes it towards mid off. Jaddu inside the circle tries taking it reverse cup over his head with a leap but the ball bursts out. Dear me! Will this prove to be Chennai's undoing tonight? 18/1

1.5Dropped! Jadeja is the man who is the culprit. We have hardly seen him dropping catches. Good length delivery, on the fourth stump line. Narine flat-bats his punch to mid off where Jadeja comes a couple of steps in but fails to hold on. A life for Narine.

1.4SIX! Connects one! Short of a length delivery on middle, Narine clears his front leg and clubs it over long on for a maximum. Both the openers get off the mark with a biggie.

1.2Backs away to a back of a length delivery and mistimes it towards mid off.

1.1Good delivery! Sharp bounce, it kicks off the deck and Narine is quick to take evasive action.

0.6OUT! There is a spike on the Ultra Edge! Chris Lynn has to walk and yes the decision is overturned! Good length delivery and angling back in on middle, Lynn clears his front leg and tries to have a go across the line. The ball goes off the thigh pad and Watson at first slip takes a good low catch. Not sure whether there is an inside edge or not. Chennai appeal but umpire Dharmasena stays put. Dhoni has a chat with his fielders and then opts for the DRS eventually. It's a good one as Ultra Edge detects a little spike as the ball goes past the bat. First one down for the hosts and an action-packed first over comes to an end. 12/1

0.5This one decks back in from a length, Lynn keeps it out.

0.4SIX! Downtown goes Lynn! Lungi delivers a fuller delivery but it's right in the arc for the big man. He gets under it and smokes it straight down the ground. Back-to-back biggies.

0.3SIX! When Lynn connects, most of the time it clears the fence, says Harsh Bhogle on air. That is exactly what has happened here. He swivels a bit to a length delivery and dumps it over deep square leg for a maximum to kickoff the run chase.

0.2Another good delivery! Lands it on a back of a length, some movement away. Chris has a wild slash at it but gets beaten all ends up.

0.1Great bouncer to begin with! Lungi comes steaming in and digs in a heavy delivery. Lynn is totally taken aback by it as he looks to fend it away. Gets it off the gloves but the ball dies down on the pitch.
