STRATEGIC BREAK! The Super Giants were 91/1 after the first 6 overs, and they are now 146/5 with 6 overs remaining. The Super Kings have made a brilliant comeback in the middle phase thanks to solid spells from the likes of Noor Ahmad and Jamie Overton. LSG don't have much batting to come after this and might be forced to use their Impact Sub early if a wicket falls soon after the break. On the other hand, CSK will be looking for more wickets because with plenty of overs still to play, if they don't keep picking up wickets, LSG could still go on and get to 200 runs. With that said, Jamie Overton (2-0-21-2) is back on.

Another pacey delivery from Overton, bowling it just short of a good length and on off stump. There's extra bounce on offer as well and Rishabh Pant plays a lazy shot, looking to just glide it away.
