Shardul Thakur to Kieron Pollard, WIDE! Thakur tries to stay away from the firing line but bowls it outside the tramline. Pollard tries to reach out and hit but misses. Wided.

Strategic Time-Out! This game is headed to an exciting finish. The way Pollard is batting, he can take the game away from Chennai in the next couple of overs. Getting him out will be Chennai's biggest priority as Hardik Pandya hasn't looked at his best in this season and James Neesham is playing his first game. The arithmetic might favour Chennai currently, but as long as Pollard is out there, the numbers don't matter.
