OVERS 17: 10 runs from the over. A full toss from Shardul allowed Yusuf to flex his muscles and deposit the ball into the stand for his third six of the innings. The pace did well to keep both Williamson and Pathan quiet after conceding the six. SRH 141/4

Williamson has moved to 80 off 45 deliveries. SRH need 66 off 30 deliveries now. Can they do it?

Shane Watson to bowl the final over of Powerplay
OVERS 5: Kane Williamson managed to hit a flat six in the over but Deepak Chahar will take it considering the way he has bowled today. Another fruitful over from the 25-year-old. Six runs from his third over. SRH 28/3
OVERS 4.2: OUT! Wicket no. 3 in over no. 3 for Deepak Chahar! It's his day today as he now gets the better of his namesake Deepak Hooda who holes out after scoring just 1. SRH are in big trouble now. Score 22/3
OVERS 4: Someone from SRH will have to mirror the innings of Ambati Rayudu. Will it be Kane Williamson? Early signs are positive. He adds to more fours to his total in the space of three deliveries, both via pull to mid-wicket region. 11 runs from Shardul's second over. SRH 22/2
OVERS 3: Another good over from Chahar comes to an end - a wicket and just one from it. SRH 11/2
OVERS 2.1: OUT! Wicket no. 2 for Deepak Chahar as he sends another SRH batsman back for a duck. This time it's Manish Pandey who gets an edge to be caught at third man for a two-ball duck. SRH 10/2
OVERS 2: Kane Williamson negates the impact of the first over with two classic boundaries - both square of the wicket. 10 runs from the over. SRH 10/1
Shardul Thakur to share the new-ball with Chahar
OVER 1: Wicket-maiden from Deepak Chahar. What a start from the medium-pacer as he not only picks up a wicket in the first over of the chase but also bowls a maiden. SRH 0/1
OVER 0.5: OUT! Ricky Bhui records a five-ball duck after edging one from Deepak Chahar to Shane Watson in the slips. Not a good start to SRH chase as they lose their first wicket without a run on the scoreboard. SRH 0/1
Ricky Bhui and captain Kane Williamson to start Sunrisers Hyderabad's chase of 183. Right-arm medium pacer Deepak Chahar has the new ball.
OVERS 20: A brilliant recovery from Chennai Super Kings. They have posted a challenging 182/3 in 20 overs. Suresh Raina remains unbeaten on 54 while MS Dhoni also played a good hand scoring 25 not out off 12 deliveries.
Billy Stanlake to bowl the last over
OVERS 18.3: FIFTY for Suresh Raina - picks up a slow delivery from Siddarth Kaul early and cuts it through point for four to bring up his half-century off 39 deliveries. CSK 166/3
OVERS 18: The run out hasn't had any effect on the run-flow. MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina collect a four each in Rashid Khan's final over. He has leaked 49 in his four overs today for one wicket. CSK 157/3
OVERS 16.4: OUT! That's a strange-strange way to get run out. The fielder sends the ball back to Siddarth Kaul at the non-striker's end and he is unable to collect it cleanly. Rayudu sees this as a chance to steal a second run and sets off but Raina seems uninterested. By the time he realises there's no run, Kaul lobs the ball back to Williamson who does the rest. Rayudu looks devastated. He was in an incredible touch today. But unfortunately has to take a long walk back to the dug out after scoring 79 off 37. CSK 144/3
OVERS 16: Ambati Rayudu is in terrific form. Nobody is being spared. If the first 10 overs belonged to the SRH bowlers, Rayudu has snatched the advantage single-handedly. He creams a six and a four off Rashid and Raina finishes the over with a four of his own. CSK 137/2
OVERS 15: The momentum is with CSK now. Shakib Al Hasan has leaked 14 runs in his final over. Rayudu has been the one doing all the damage. A six over the bowler's head followed by a slog sweep for four. CSK 120/2
OVERS 14.2: FIFTY for Ambati Rayudu. A brilliant innings under the circumstance considering how other batsmen have fared on the pitch. Took him just 27 deliveries to reach the landmark.
OVERS 14: An expensive over from Stanlake but CSK fans won't be complaining. Rayudu has taken the Australian speedster to the cleaners with three fours and a six to take 19 runs from the over. The six over long-on also took the CSK total into three figures. CSK 106/2
Billy Stanlake is back as SRH look to break the partnership
Second time-out of CSK inningsOVERS 13: Nine runs from the over - SRH 'keeper and Shakib reviewed a caught behind appeal which was turned down by the on-field umpire. Ambati Rayudu came forward but misses the ball as it hit his pad and settled into the gloves of Wriddhiman Saha. So no bat involved. The decision stays. Rayudu followed that with an inside out shot over extra cover for a four. CSK 87/2
Shakib returns to bowl his third overOVERS 12: Suresh Raina has had enough of SRH bowlers. He takes on Rashid Khan smacking him for two consecutive sixes - the first over long-on and the second over deep mid-wicket to move to 32 off 29. 16 runs came from the over. CSK 78/2
OVERS 11: Things are finally moving in the upward direction for the visitors. Ambati Rayudu is getting adventurous now - a reverse sweep off the first delivery from Hooda for four through point marked the beginning of the over. 11 runs from the over take CSK to 62/2
Deepak Hooda introduced into the attack
At the halfway stage, CSK are 54/2OVERS 10: A good over for CSK this. Ambati Rayudu smacked a six over long-on off Bhuvi's second delivery. Off the penultimate delivery, Rayudu brought up the 50 for CSK with a single. Suresh Raina ended the over on a high with a four over cover region. 13 runs from it. CSK 54/2
Time for CSK to reassess their approach. They've been scoring at the rate of 4.55 runs/over. Every batsman today has struggled to get going. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is back into the attack
First strategic time-out of the inningsOVERS 9: Kaul mixes his deliveries well as he continues to keep Suresh Raina and Ambati Rayudu quiet. CSK batsmen are finding it difficult to score runs today. Fours runs from the over. CSK 41/2
Siddarth Kaul is back for his second over of the match
OVERS 8: A successful first over from Rashid comes to an end. Five runs and a wicket in it. CSK 37/2
OVERS 7.1: OUT! Rashid Khan strikes with his first delivery of the match. A quicker one from from the leggie as Faf du Plessis gives him the charge for a sweep but misses the ball and worse loses his balance in the process. Wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha does the rest. He scored 11 off 13 deliveries. CSK 32/2
OVERS 7: Shakib Al Hasan comes in to bowl his second over of the day now. Allows five runs in the over. CSK 32/1
OVERS 6: END OF POWERPLAY OVERS. CSK have managed 27/1 - the lowest in the powerplay this season so far. Just six runs from Kaul's first over. Although, Du Plessis started the over on the good note as he smacked the first delivery over covers for a four but found it difficult to score off the remaining over. CSK 27/1
Siddarth Kaul to bowl the final over of the Powerplay
OVERS 5: A decent over for CSK. Suresh Raina backed quite some way outside his leg stump and picked a boundary through point as the ball raced past the third man. Six runs from the over. CSK 21/1
OVERS 3.3: OUT! What a comeback from Bhuvneshwar Kumar after being smoked for a humongous Six by Shane Watson. His knuckle ball sucks Watson into playing a flick a little early that falls safely into the hands of Deepak Hooda at short mid-wicket. He scored 9 off 15 deliveries. CSK 14/1
OVERS 3: So, Watson and Du Plessis have been kept quiet so far. Shakib's first over costs four runs. CSK 8/0
Chang in attack - spin in Shakib Al Hasan introduced
OVERS 2: Billy Stanlake also starts well. Just two from his first over - one of them via wide delivery. CSK 4/0
Right-arm fast Billy Stanlake to share the new ball duties with Bhuvi from the other end
OVER 1: A good first over from Bhuvi. The first one was a peach of a delivery that just went past Watson's outside edge. Two singles from the over. CSK 2/0
Chennai Super Kings' opening pair of Shane Watson and Faf du Plessis [in place of Imran Tahir] is out in the middle. Bhuvneshwar Kumar will open the attack for Sunrisers Hyderabad.

TOSS: Sunrisers Hyderabad win toss, opt to field against Chennai Super Kings
Sunrisers Hyderabad will be happy to be back home after mixed luck on the road, where they won one and lost another. The high of three wins out from three outings, including their first win at the Eden Gardens, was flattened by the presence and power of ‘Universe Boss’ Chris Gayle in Mohali. It was not hard to fathom why Kings XI Punjab opted for a strip short of any help for the bowlers given the potency of Hyderabad’s attack, and in trusting their instincts upfront, Punjab were well served by IPL XI’s first century courtesy Gayle.
