C Morris to MS Dhoni, Morris bowls it on a good length and outside off, Dhoni looks to go for a big shot but misses it.

Chris Morris returns. 2-0-19-0 as of now.

A Patel to R Jadeja, FOUR! Off the edge! Lucky for Jadeja. He jumps down the track and swings hard but is nowhere near the pitch of the ball. It takes the outside edge and flies over Rishabh Pant's gloves to the third man fence. 28 from the last 2 overs!

A Patel to R Jadeja, DROPPED, SIX! Ordinary effort from Rutherford. Was he thinking about the ropes behind? Full and outside off, Jadeja gets down and mows the slog sweep. It is not a clean hit and Sherfane Rutherford has a chance running to his right from deep backward square leg. However, strangely, he looks to parry the ball away, instead of catching it, perhaps fearing that he might cross the rope. But the ball bursts through his hands and lands beyond the boundary!

A Patel to MS Dhoni, Short on off, Dhoni makes room and cuts it towards covers for a run.

A Patel to R Jadeja, Flighted delivery on leg, Jadeja tucks it towards square leg for a run.

A Patel to MS Dhoni, Tossed up on middle, Dhoni punches it to long on for a run.

A Patel to R Jadeja, Floated delivery on leg, Jadeja flicks it towards square leg for a single.

Strategic break! Right then, Chennai have just lost the set batsman in Raina just after he got to his half-ton and that means two relatively new batsmen in the middle. That gives Delhi a good chance to slow down things a bit here and restrict the hosts. Dhoni and co. though would have other ideas. Which side will be happier at the end of the last five overs?

J Suchith to MS Dhoni, Tossed up on leg, Dhoni goes on the back foot and plays it back towards the bowler. Suchith finishes his spell with figures of 4-0-28-2. 14 runs have come from the over and a crucial wicket of Suresh Raina.

Suprise, surprise! Ravindra Jadeja walks out at number 5! Maybe to combat the slow left-arms and the leg-spinner.

J Suchith to S Raina, OUT! Dhawan takes a blinder! Boy, the Gabbar is roaring at the Chepauk. That too, with a smile. Tossed up outside off, lack of pace, Raina comes down the track and looks to swing hard but is done in by the lack of pace. He is not to the pitch of the ball but gets a leading edge. Initially, it seems like it will land safely but Dhawan runs back from point, keeps his eyes on the ball and then dives backward. Eventually, he takes it with his right hand and then falls on the ground. Gets up with a smile. Two quick wickets for Delhi. Is this where the game turns? Fine knock from the southpaw.

J Suchith to S Raina, Short and outside off, Raina cuts it to point.

J Suchith to S Raina, SIX! He leaps, he flies and ALMOST gets it! Trent Boult, take a bow. What a superlative effort. Full and outside off, Raina comes down the track and swings it over wide long on. It seems it is clearing the ropes but Boult races to his left, sticks his left hand out, leaps but the ball bursts through his hand and lands beyond the ropes. Boult smiles as his fielders applaud his effort. 100 UP FOR CHENNAI. Another 60 on the cards from here?

J Suchith to S Raina, FOUR! FIFTY FOR RAINA! 37th in the League but 50th IN T20S! Is he back in form? Full and outside off, Raina comes down the track and smashes it straight back over the bowler for a boundary down the ground! Will we now see the aggressive side of Suresh?

J Suchith to S Raina, FOUR! Full and outside off, Raina gets down and drags a sweep wide of mid-wicket.

Jagadeesha Suchith to bowl now.

A Patel to MS Dhoni, Flighted delivery on off, Dhoni plays it back towards the bowler where Axar Patel does well to stop it with his left.

A Patel to MS Dhoni, BEATEN! Beauty of a delivery from Axar Patel. Tossed up just outside off, Dhoni looks to drive but misses it due to the turn on this one. Pant whips off the bails in a flash.
