D Hooda to A Rayudu, FOUR! Welcomes Hooda with a boundary! Tossed up outside off, Rayudu gets down on one knee and reverse sweeps it past backward point for a boundary. Two boundaries in two balls for Chennai. Will this break the shackles?
Shakib Al Hasan to bowl now. Scratch that, it's Deepak Hooda who is given the ball now. Interesting move.
B Kumar to S Raina, FOUR! Up and over! Raina dances down the track to short of a length ball, makes room and lifts it inside out over extra cover for a boundary. The stand moves to 22 now, they need these two to go on.
B Kumar to A Rayudu, Eventually the 50 is raised for Chennai. Rayudu dabs this slower back of a length delivery towards Rashid Khan at short third man.
B Kumar to S Raina, Nudged wide of the man at short mid-wicket for a single.
B Kumar to A Rayudu, Back of a length delivery outside off, punched off the back foot through cover for a single.
B Kumar to A Rayudu, SIX! Picks the bones out of that one! Slower delivery, fuller in length and it's hurled at 111.4 kph, Rayudu gets down on one knee and slog sweeps it high and over wide long on for a biggie.
B Kumar to A Rayudu, Fuller in length and outside off, driven towards mid off.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar is back into the attack.
Time for a strategic break! Chennai are all at sea at the moment. The move to send Faf du Plessis up the order didn't work as the Protea struggled big time. Since then, none of the batsmen have got going on this two-paced track. Also credit to the bowlers as they have been on song so far. 11 overs to go, will we see the Men in Yellow upping the ante?
S Kaul to A Rayudu, Chance of a run out! A better throw from Ricky Bhui would have had Rayudu. Fuller ball outside off, Ambati drives it towards point and Raina calls for the single. Ricky attacks the ball and has a shy at the bowler's end but it's a bit off target. Had it been on the stumps, Ambati would have been struggling.
S Kaul to A Rayudu, Wide! Digs in a short one outside off, it loops over the head of the batsman who stays put inside the crease. The umpire stretches his arms as it was too high.
S Kaul to S Raina, This time he decides to go the other way. Flicked off the pads over mid-wicket for one. Was in the air but no harm done.
S Kaul to S Raina, Another one, this is almost a replica of the previous ball. Raina once again decides to back away and play the big shot over cover but Kaul changes the pace and angles it away from the southpaw. It's chopped to point for nothing.
S Kaul to S Raina, Kaul sees Raina backing away so he smartly slants it wider outside off, Raina has to reach out for that one. All he does is, mistime it towards point.
S Kaul to S Raina, Shuffles across to a length ball and clips this back of the hand ball to the man at short mid-wicket.
S Kaul to A Rayudu, Short of a length delivery outside off, tapped in gap at cover by Ambati for a single.
Siddarth Kaul is called back.
R Khan to S Raina, The batsman has punched the ball off the back foot.
R Khan to A Rayudu, Floated ball outside off, eased through cover for one more.
R Khan to A Rayudu, Pushed quicker through the air, Rayudu tucks it off his pads towards short fine leg.
R Khan to A Rayudu, FOUR! Top edge! Tossed up delivery, landed outside off, Rayudu gets down on one knee and looks to go for the slog sweep. Gets a top edge but there is no one manning the deep mid-wicket fence. A lucky boundary results.
R Khan to A Rayudu, Googly, turning back in, Rayudu looks to punch it away but gets an inside edge on the pads.
Ambati Rayudu is the new man in.
R Khan to du Plessis, OUT! Stumped! Rashid Khan puts Faf du Plessis out of his misery. Starts off with a loopy leg break, Faf du Plessis lunges ahead to play the sweep but misses it completely and to add to it, his back leg comes out of the crease in the process. Saha behind the stumps collects the ball and takes the bails off. He appeals and the square leg umpire rules it out. Rashid Khan, the man who was taken to the cleaners in the last game by Gayle has come back with a bang as he strikes on the very first ball. Chennai in trouble.
Rashid Khan to have a go now.
Al Hasan to du Plessis, The batsman dances down the track. The batsmen have run through for a single.
Al Hasan to S Raina, Tossed up outside off, driven along the ground towards long off for one.
Al Hasan to S Raina, Wide! Darts one down leg, Raina gets down to play the slog but misses to put bat on ball.
Al Hasan to S Raina, Stays back and punches it away off the back foot on the off side.
Al Hasan to du Plessis, Comes down the track, almost yorks himself but still manages to flick it away through mid-wicket for one.
Al Hasan to S Raina, The batsman works it down the leg side. One run added to the total.
Al Hasan to S Raina, Flatter on middle, punched back.
Shakib Al Hasan to roll his arm over again.
S Kaul to S Raina, Yorker on middle, jammed down to long off for just a single. Sensational display of bowling from Williamson's men as they have managed to restrict the star-studded Chennai batting line-up for just 27, which is the lowest this season.
S Kaul to S Raina, Worked off the back foot towards mid-wicket.
S Kaul to du Plessis, Once again shimmies down the track, Faf digs it out towards mid on for a single.
S Kaul to du Plessis, Faf du Plessis is just not able to put bat on ball as he would have liked. Gets across to play the paddle scoop but there is hardly any pace behind the ball. Misses it completely as the ball bounces over the stumps and rolls on the bounce to the keeper behind.
S Kaul to du Plessis, Sees Faf giving the charge and hence he drags his length short does Kaul. The batter looks to flay it through the off side but gets an inside edge on the pads.
S Kaul to du Plessis, FOUR! Down the track and over the infield! Not off the middle but he will take that. Good length delivery outside off, du Plessis skips down the track and attempts for the loft over cover. Manages to hit it over the man there and picks up a boundary, his first one of this innings. Will that get him going?
Siddarth Kaul to bowl the last over of the Powerplay.
B Stanlake to S Raina, Changes the pace this time, Raina reads it as he just pushes it away towards cover. Another fantastic over from Billy.
B Stanlake to S Raina, Top edge... safe! Good try from Manish Pandey though. On a length and angling in at 142.2 kph, Raina wildly swings across the line but gets a big top edge. Pandey from backward point runs backwards, puts in a forward dive but fails to reach to it. Good effort and a couple is braced.
