50 up for Ravindra Jadeja
They are turning up the heat but it may be too little too late for CSK. Ravindra Jadeja brings up his half-century with a six. CSK need 51 off 15.
CSK continue to settle for ones and twos
CSK need plenty of boundaries but they aren't getting it. MS Dhoni is also struggling a bit out there and the same goes for Ravindra Jadeja. CSK 71/4 after 14 overs.
CSK have gone quiet
Even though CSK have MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja batting, the break in run-flow and massive target, the team has gone a bit quieter. The duo is failing to bag boundaries, which CSK desperately need in abundance. CSK 58/4 after 12 overs.
Abdul Samad with maiden IPL wicket
WICKET! Abdul Samad just comes into bowl and picks up a wicket in his second delivery in IPL. A loopy half-volley and Kedar Jadhav has smashed it straight to the hands of David Warner. Kedar Jadhav c Warner b Abdul Samad 3(10)
Faf du Plessis departs!
WICKET! This is Jonny Bairstow's wicket. Brilliant presence of mind by the Englishman as he just diverts the throw by Priyam Garg towards the stump as Faf du Plessis finds himself short. du Plessis run out (Priyam Garg/Bairstow) 22(19)
No Ambati Rayudu show today!
WICKET! T Natarajan with an absolute jaffa! Ambati Rayudu didn't know how to play that ball as it pitches on the seam before slightly moving away to clip the bails. SRH off to a roll! SRH 26/2 after 5.1 overs.
Nervy start by CSK
Khaleel Ahmed, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and T Natarajan have bowled brilliantly in the first four over while troubling the CSK batters consistently. Men in form, du Plessis and Rayudu are at the crease. CSK 13/1 after 4 overs.
Shane Watson departs cheaply
WICKET! Bhuvneshwar Kumar has done the job. Another incoming delivery and Watson fails to defend it properly only for the ball to dislodge the bails. Terrific start by SRH. CSK 4/1 after 2.3 overs.
Disciplined start by SRH
Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Khaleel Ahmed have troubled Shane Watson and Faf du Plessis with their early movement. CSK are off to a cautious start. CSK 4/0 after 2 overs.

Faf du Plessis and Shane Watson are at the crease for Chennai Super Kings. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has the new ball for Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Sunrisers Hyderabad post 164/5 in 20 overs
A terrific final over by Shardul Thakur but SRH will be happy with the 164-run total after a torrid start. Chennai Super Kings need 165 runs to win.
Another good over for SRH
Priyam Garg and Abhishek Sharma have done the job for Sunrisers Hyderabad as they get another 13 runs off the over. Deepak Chahar gets rid of Abhishek in the final delivery but SRH would be looking to add a few more runs in the last two overs. SRH 146/5 after 18 overs.
What an over for SRH!
A much-needed over for SRH, even 150 looks achievable. Might be the last of Curran with the ball.

David Warner and Williamson out!
David Warner out! Long boundaries in Dubai, had it been India it was a six for sure. Hard luck skippy, but he has to depart. Warner c du Plessis b Chawla 28(29) [4s-3]
Kane Williamson in disbelief! He has been run out too. SRH gifted this over to CSK and this could prove costly. Williamson run out (Rayudu/Dhoni) 9(13) [4s-1]
Strategic timeout
Sunrisers desperate for a partnership right now. They currently have one of the best batsmen in T20 cricket on strike right now. All they need is a good parntership to pose a competitive total.
SRH 60/2 (9 overs) CRR: 6.67
Manish Pandey depart!
What could have been a great long innings, ended in a cameo. SRH not looking in good shape at the moment. Chennai looking in control.
