P Chawla to K Jadhav, OUT! Kedar Jadhav is adjudged lbw! Chawla dishes out a quicker and flatter delivery, landing around off and skids on with the angle, Jadhav attempts to flick but misses and is rapped on the pads. They appeal and the umpire agrees. Piyush is all pumped up. Kedar has a chat with his partner, tells him where it hit him on the pads, Raina advises him not to take the referral. Good call once more from the non-striker. Kedar was gone for all money. 81 needed off 53 balls.

K Yadav to K Jadhav, Rocks back and slaps it down to long on for one. 11 from the over, 20 in the last two, Chennai pressing forward.

K Yadav to K Jadhav, FOUR! Bang! Jadhav is turning it on. Kuldeep drags his length short and delivers it on off, Jadhav immediately shifts his weight on the back leg and rockets his pull shot over mid-wicket for a boundary.

K Yadav to K Jadhav, Loopy and full on off, Kedar defends it from the crease to the off side.

K Yadav to K Jadhav, Turns it off his pads to the leg side, finds the fielder at mid-wicket.

K Yadav to K Jadhav, SIX! High and handsome! Floated full ball landing around leg, Jadhav kneels down and smokes it over square leg for a maximum. Picked his spot there and has nailed it.

K Yadav to K Jadhav, Oohhh...there is some turn and this one stays a bit low as well. Shortish ball outside off, spinning away and keeping low too, Kedar picks it very late and somehow keeps it out safely on the leg side.

P Chawla to K Jadhav, Goes on the back foot and punches it through cover-point for a run.

P Chawla to K Jadhav, FOUR! Cheeky Jadhav! Chawla delivers a flighted ball outside off, Jadhav stays calmly inside the crease, allows the ball to come in and do its bits and then quietly opens the face of his bat to run it down to third man. Gurney puts in a chase but all in vain.

Kedar Jadhav is the new batsman in.

P Chawla to A Rayudu, OUT! Chawla starts with a wicket! A tossed up delivery on off, Rayudu drives it straight to Robin Uthappa present at extra cover who takes the catch with ease. Piyush Chawla gives good air on this ball. Tempts Rayudu well, he goes for the inside out lofted cover drive but doesn't get the elevation needed. The ball goes flat to Robin Uthappa. And we again see a wicket after the break. Game is on. 101 runs needed in 65 balls.

Strategic break. This match is interestingly poised at the moment. Chennai have lost both their openers and are scoring at a rate just above 6. Suresh Raina and Ambati Rayudu are in the middle, trying to bring this chase on track as the required rate has jumped over 9 now. Middle phase is crucial as Chennai themselves made a comeback with the ball during this period. Kolkata would hope that their spinners will maintain the same intensity. Piyush Chawla to bowl.

K Yadav to A Rayudu, Short one but Rayudu misses out there as he does not find the gap. He pulls this wrong one away to long on for a single. 4 runs off Kuldeep's first, excellent over! 101 runs needed in 66 balls now.
