Pathirana to Shashank Singh, 3 runs, clumsy effort to end the innings. Sums up CSK's performance in this season. That's fifty for Singh as well. Superb knock from him. Ruturaj does afford a smile. Seemed a helpless one. The batter drilled a fuller one wide of cover. Noor dived, put in the slide and they get a triple in the end. The throw from the deep at the bowler's end was a weak one as Shashank Singh dived in. They end with 219

Noor Ahmad to Shashank Singh, 2 runs, and CSK's day has been summed up. Terrible drop. Ravindra drops a sitter. Would take it with eyes closed on other days. Was a tossed up googly, Shashank Singh went for the slog sweep but got a top-edge. The ball stayed in the air, the fielder got to it, settled under it and then dropped it. Worse the throw was a bad one and they get one extra run on the overthrow

Noor Ahmad to Priyansh Arya, out Caught by Shankar!! Taken by the man at long-on. The roller coaster has ended. One helluva ride. Even CSK fans would have enjoyed this superb show from Arya. For a change, he didn't time it. The ball was hit flat and the man at long-on took it with elan. That was floated wide, outside off, dipped a little, Priyansh Arya went for the slog sweep and found the man at long-on. Hit flat and the man at long-on this time checked his back foot to see if he is inside or not, was well inside. Priyansh Arya c Shankar b Noor Ahmad 103(42) [4s-7 6s-9]

Pathirana to Priyansh Arya, FOUR, maiden IPL century for Priyansh Arya! Take a bow, young man! He came in with a clear plan, picked his spots and has hit the bowlers all around the ground. He had some reputation locally coming into the IPL but was more of an unknown commodity. To those who don't know - he smashed six sixes in an over in the Delhi Premier League. He takes his helmet off, raises his arms and soaks in all the applause. His teammates in the dugout are overjoyed! Was a full ball on middle and leg and swung in, Priyansh Arya got squared up as he tried to flick it across but got a thick edge past the left side of short third to find the fence. This is a knock that Priyansh will remember for a lifetime. This is what dreams are made of! It will take him some time to take it all in...

The carrom ball and it's flighted on a length on middle and leg, turns away a bit, Maxwell clears his front leg and smacks it straight. Ashwin hardly has time to react but he gets into a good position on his followthrough. The ball slips from his right hand due the power with which it was hit but he uses his left hand to control the ball and gets hold of the ball with support from the body. Maxwell c and b Ashwin 1(2)

Stoinis hops and looks to tuck it across, he was perhaps expecting it to swing in but it left him and that induces a leading edge towards backward point. Conway reverse cups it safely.

Mukesh Choudhary to Prabhsimran, out Bowled!! Knocked him over! Prabhsimran takes a couple of steps down the track and Mukesh Choudhary shortens his length and keeps it tight around the off-stump and also generates some extra bounce on it. Prabhsimran tries to tap it with an open bat-face behind square on the off-side but only manages to get an inside edge that crashes into middle and leg. This wicket will give Mukesh Choudhary some confidence especially after returning expensive figures in the last game. Prabhsimran b Mukesh Choudhary 0(2)
