9.42pm Rayudu: Unfortunately got out today, I should have capitalised on the start. When I walked into bat, the wicket was stopping and I think we have batted well. I think we have got a very good score. It is not how the Eden is. We have a good enough score and hope our bowlers back it up.

How often do you see spinners bowl the last three overs of an innings? Narine, Chawla, and Kuldeep had combined figures of 12-0-89-5. The seamers have away 84 in eight overs. Will dew impact CSK's spinners in their defence? Sreshth will be back with you to call the second innings. Cheers.

Chawla to Dhoni, FOUR, Dhoni closes out CSK's innings with a boundary. Back of a length on middle, 123ks, as quick as Vinay Kumar, Dhoni loads up and smokes it away to the midwicket boundary. If you're still wondering, Thala still has it

Good for CSK that Jadeja crossed over
