H Gurney to S Watson, OUT! Watson is a dead duck in front of the wickets! Gurney delivers a length ball from 'round off and gets it to angle in from outside off. Watson is rocked on the back foot, probably not expecting it to come in, as he tries to defend. It skids back in off the surface to hit him on the back leg. They appeal and the finger goes up immediately. Watson starts to walk back, du Plessis stops him and they have a little bit of chase about the DRS but then decide against it. Good call! The replays confirm that it's plumb. First blow to Chennai in this run chase as Watson's inconsistent run this season goes on...

A Russell to du Plessis, Ooh! Almost a wicket off the last ball. A bouncer this time to end the over, Faf du Plessis once again tries to repeat the same shot and hit it over the keeper but misses the ball. Russell ends the over with a dot but seems to be in a lot of pain here. 16 off this one, a really good over for the Men in Yellow.

18:10 (IST) Apr 14

Russell seems to have done something to his hamstring and pulls out as he was running in to bowl the last delivery. Looks bad but he will continue and bowl the last one...

A Russell to du Plessis, FOUR! Make it four! This is great batsmanship! A length ball on middle, once again du Plessis comes inside the line and paddles it away fine on the leg side. Short fine leg does not have anything to do out there other than go and get the ball from beyond the rope.
