- BATSMENRB4s6sSR10.2 Watson pulls it straight into the lap of deep midwicket. Back of a length, skids in on off, 94.3ks, Watson skips back and hits it off the bottom of the bat to Mavi who completes a fine overhead catch at the edge of the boundary 91/25.1 Chawla storms through Faf's defences with a zippy googly. He goes past the inside edge and hits the middle stump. Full, starts outside off, and spins back in, Faf searches for the legbreak and misses the variation 48/111.4 Kuldeep loops it up outside off and gets it to break away slightly. Raina stretches out for a slog-sweep. He has to fetch the ball from outside off and hit against the spin. He ends up dragging a catch to wide long-on 101/314.4 Narine bursts through the defences of Rayudu with a sharp offbreak. Full, spins back in, dips at off stump, Rayudu looks to run it down to third man from the stumps. He does not connect. Narine hits the top of off and celebrates his second wicket 119/419.5 banged in short and fizzes away outside off, seam-up ball I guess, Jadeja swings across the line and top-edges it in the air.

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.6 full on middle stump, and angling into Lynn. He tries to go for a leg-side heave, but the ball hits his front thigh and goes through to first slip! Goes to Watson at first slip, and they're appealing for caught behind! Brief chat between Watto and MSD, and they're reviewing. Replays show, it took an under edge before hitting his though. Lynn has to go 12/16.4 tries to cramp him for room, and earns the wicket! Back of a length outside off, but gets big on Narine. He still tries to muscle it to long on, but off the bat's inside half. Doesn't have the distance and comfortably taken by the man in the deep. Jadeja finally manages to remove Narine 64/34.2 back of a length outside off, and the attempted pull has been top edged! Midwicket goes under it, and finally CSK hold on to a catch. Just that extra bit of pace that does Uthappa in 40/211.4 The turbanator strikes! Full on middle stump, and his attempted inside out cover drive doesn't come off! Tried to play for the spin, but this one was the one that goes straight through. Crashes into middle stump 97/4Extras12 (lb 1, w 11)TOTAL180/4 (17.4 Overs, RR: 10.18)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Chris Lynn, 0.6 ov), 2-40 (Robin Uthappa, 4.2 ov), 3-64 (Sunil Narine, 6.4 ov), 4-97 (Rinku Singh, 11.4 ov)

Match Coverage
All Match NewsThe Gill stamp of authority
For four games, he batted at No. 7. His exploits on Thursday have all but ensured he won't go back there
Gill and Karthik power KKR past sloppy CSK
The hosts got home with plenty of time to spare after Super Kings' fielding let them down in their attempt to defend 177
Can KKR, CSK iron out their end-over issues?
For one it's their death-over batting, for the other it's the bowling. That could mean another even contest, and another blockbuster finish - like the last time they met
