4
18.4: Anshul Kamboj to Marcus Stoinis, FOUR! Hit with real authority! Punjab Kings ace the chase of 210 with 8 balls to spare. Full and on the off stump, Stoinis uses the depth of the crease to get under the ball. He swings through the line and drills it back over the bowler's head. The long off fielder stands no chance of cutting it off as the ball skips across the turf.

1
18.3: Anshul Kamboj to Shashank Singh, Full, on the pads. Shashank Singh nurdles it behind square leg for a single. 4 more required for PBKS.

1WD
18.3: Anshul Kamboj to Shashank Singh, Wide! Kamboj varies his length as he bangs it in short. The line is a bit too straight and he is lucky to get away with it. Shashank Singh walks inside the line of the ball and swings to get it away behind square leg but misses. Wide given by the umpire, but Ruturaj Gaikwad reviews the on-field call after consultation with Sanju Samson. The UltraEdge shows a flat line. The wide call stays.

2
18.2: Anshul Kamboj to Shashank Singh, Full and on middle. Shashank brings his wrists into play and flicks it to the left of deep square leg for a brace.

4
18.1: Anshul Kamboj to Shashank Singh, FOUR! Superb placement! Anshul Kamboj goes searching for the wide yorker but it comes out as a low full toss, outside off. Singh extends his hands and angles the bat face to place the drive to the right of the man at deep point for a four.

End of over 18
PBK198/5
PBKS Batting S Singh 7(3) M Stoinis 5(2)

1
17.6: Matt Henry to Shashank Singh, Low full toss, on off, this is carved to deep point for one.

4
17.5: Matt Henry to Shashank Singh, FOUR! That's the risk involved with the wide line. On a length, going across. Shashank Singh flashes and flashes hard. The ball flies off the outer half over the man at short third for a boundary.

2
17.4: Matt Henry to Shashank Singh, Falls safely between the two fielders! Henry continues the wide line ploy on a length. Shashank Singh, predicting the line, walks across the stumps and swings at it. Gets it right off the toe end of the blade over cover. The deep point fielder runs across to his right, and the fielder inside the circle also converges, but the ball drops between them. Two runs taken.

1
17.3: Matt Henry to Marcus Stoinis, Very full, outside off. Stoinis digs it out. Henry gets across to his left on the follow-through but fails to cut it off. They cross.

4
17.2: Matt Henry to Marcus Stoinis, FOUR! Streaky, but they all count! Running across the right-hander, on a length. Stoinis gets low and looks to smash it through the off side. The ball leaves him with the angle to take the outside edge but it goes well wide of the man at short third and the fielder at deep backward point is also beaten.

0
17.1: Matt Henry to Nehal Wadhera, OUT! CAUGHT! Two wickets in two balls and two set batters are gone. Henry delivers it on a wide line, far outside off, full in length. Nehal Wadhera takes a couple of baby steps forward and tries to slap it over covers, but ends up mistiming it off the toe end. Slices the ball flatly to the cover fielder, where Noor Ahmad takes a fine catch. PBKS are 186/5.

End of over 17
PBK186/4
PBKS Batting S Iyer 50(29) N Wadhera 10(8)

0
16.6: Anshul Kamboj to Shreyas Iyer, OUT! TAKEN! The wide line finally works for Anshul Kamboj. Full and pushed across the right-hander. Iyer reaches out to go big on the off side. He does not get the desired distance and hits it down the throat of deep cover, where Rahul Chahar runs in off the ropes and takes the catch. The Punjab Kings are 186/4, needing 24 runs from 18 balls.

0
16.5: Anshul Kamboj to Shreyas Iyer, Full again, around off. Shreyas goes deep in the crease and has a swipe across the line but connects with thin air.

0
16.5: Anshul Kamboj to Shreyas Iyer, Oh, not far away from crashing into the leg stump. It would not have mattered even if the ball had hit the timber as Anshul Kamboj has overstepped. Around leg, very full, Iyer walks inside the line but misses out on the glance. NO BALL called. Free Hit coming up.

4
16.4: Anshul Kamboj to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR! Not where Iyer intended but he will take it. That brings up the 28th IPL half-century for the PBKS skipper. He gets there in 26 balls. Full and wide on off. Iyer throws his hands at the ball. Get a thickish outside edge that flies fine of the man at deep backward point. Shreyas has looked in complete control tonight.

0
16.3: Anshul Kamboj to Shreyas Iyer, Did that carry? Just about did. Another wide yorker, outside off, Iyer drops his bat down on the ball. Slices it with an open bat face to short third, where Matt Henry gets low and gets his hands out in front.

0
16.2: Anshul Kamboj to Shreyas Iyer, Wide not given and Shreyas Iyer has taken the review. Anshul Kamboj gets the wide yorker in. Iyer reaches out but fails to connect. Iyer is standing a bit outside the off stump and so the guideline moves with him. The ball is well within the revised tramline and it is a dot.

4
16.1: Anshul Kamboj to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR! In the gap! Anshul Kamboj begins from over the wicket, full and on middle. Iyer plays the lofted hit whilst holding his shape. Smears it to the left of the man at deep mid-wicket for a four.

End of over 20
CSK209/5
CSK Batting S Dube 45(27) P Veer 6(7)

4
19.6: Arshdeep Singh to Shivam Dube, FOUR! Finishes with a flourish, does Shivam Dube! Arshdeep keeps the line of attack outside off, on a fuller length. Dube brings his bottom hand to play by getting under the ball and pumps it over the bowler for a boundary. It is struck with such brute force that long on stands no chance to cut that off to his right. CSK FINISH AT 209/5!

4
19.5: Arshdeep Singh to Shivam Dube, FOUR! Lucky runs for Dube and CSK! Singh slips a wide full toss, outside off, Dube tries to slap it past covers, but only manages an inside edge, just past the off stump and it squirrels behind to the deep fine leg fence for a boundary.

0
19.4: Arshdeep Singh to Shivam Dube, Two dots in a row! Very full at 133.9 kph, outside off, Dube attempts to carve it through the point gap, but finds the fielder.

0
19.3: Arshdeep Singh to Shivam Dube, Good comeback by Arshdeep! Full and wide outside the off stump, at 134.5 kph. Just inside the wide guideline. Dube swings hard without moving his feet. Gets beaten on the outside edge.

4
19.2: Arshdeep Singh to Shivam Dube, FOUR! Connects just well enough. Arshdeep fires a full one, outside off. Dube picks it up and over mid-wicket, but hits it off the inner half. However, he has enough power on the shot to find the fence, beating long on to his left. 200 UP FOR THE SUPER KINGS!

1WD
19.2: Arshdeep Singh to Shivam Dube, Wide! PBKS have challenged the wide call. Arshdeep Singh looks to keep it away from Dube's hitting arc. Sprays it beyond the tramline, on a good length. Dube lets it pass. The replays show that even though Shivam had walked across the stumps, the ball was still outside the revised guideline. The on-field call of wide is upheld.

0
19.1: Arshdeep Singh to Prashant Veer, Singh shoots in a short ball, keeping the line of attack on the bodyline. He gets a good lift as well which beats Veer on his attempted pull shot. Dube, though, is quick to get off the blocks and calls Prashant to cross over. Veer responds as Prabhsimran Singh collects the ball but misses the throw to the batting end, which allows them to cross easily.

End of over 19
CSK195/5
CSK Batting S Dube 33(22) P Veer 6(6)

0
18.6: Xavier Bartlett to Shivam Dube, Fair delivery! Bartlett tries to keep it away from Dube's arc, and goes for another wide yorker. Dube walks a bit across the stumps before deciding to leave. The umpire signals a wide, but Xavier Bartlett has gone upstairs to challenge the decision. Has Dube walked a bit too much across in the crease? The replay comes up with a revised guideline. It shows that the ball is marginally inside the new guideline. So, it is deemed a fair delivery. Excellent review by the Aussie quick, which keeps Dube off strike at the start of the final over. 4-0-48-1 for Xavier Bartlett tonight.

1WD
18.6: Xavier Bartlett to Shivam Dube, WIDE! Miles outside off, crossing the tramline. Dube lets it be. Wide given.

4
18.5: Xavier Bartlett to Shivam Dube, FOUR! Excellent field manipulation by Dube! A bit too full and on leg. Shivam Dube stays put, uses his wrists and flicks it all along the ground, behind backward square leg for a boundary.

1
18.4: Xavier Bartlett to Prashant Veer, Ouch, that was a hostile delivery by Bartlett! A well-directed short ball that jags back into the batter sharply. Prashant Veer has very little time to react. Tries to pull it to the leg side, but the ball kicks up a bit, clips the gloves and hits the helmet before rolling to the short third fielder for a single.

1
18.3: Xavier Bartlett to Shivam Dube, Bowls to the field, does Bartlett, with 6 fielders on the off side and 3 on the leg side. He bangs it short and slow, outside off. Shivam stands tall and clubs it aerially to deep cover for just a single.

2
18.2: Xavier Bartlett to Shivam Dube, Keeps it wide outside off, a low full toss, Dube carves it past point and scampers back for two.

4
18.1: Xavier Bartlett to Shivam Dube, FOUR! Up and over! Bartlett serves it full and wide on off. Dube gets under it, holds his shape nicely and lofts it inside out over the extra cover fielder for a boundary.

End of over 18
CSK182/5
CSK Batting S Dube 22(17) P Veer 5(5)

1
17.6: Marco Jansen to Shivam Dube, Slower into the pitch and outside off. Dube knocks it to deep extra cover for a single. Jansen is done with his spell, with figures reading 4-0-43-1.

1
17.5: Marco Jansen to Prashant Veer, Follows the batter who shuffles outside leg and bowls it right in the blockhole on the leg stump. Prashant is cramped for room and can only drill it down to long on for a single.

0
17.4: Marco Jansen to Prashant Veer, What has happened here? Punjab Kings have taken a review for LBW. They are taking a chance more than any real conviction. From around the wicket, full and landing around the leg stump. Veer walks across for the scoop but fails to lay any bat on it, and the ball drops at his feet after striking the pads. Jansen gets to the ball and cuts down the possibility of a single. The Ball Tracking shows that the ball has landed outside the line of the leg stump. PBKS burn a review.

4
17.3: Marco Jansen to Prashant Veer, FOUR! Veer with a bit of innovation to get his first runs in the IPL! Good length by Jansen, around off, from around the stump. Prashant Veer gets across the off stump and executes the scoop wide of short fine leg for a boundary. In fact, the replay shows that he hit it between the keeper and Chahal at short fine leg.

1
17.2: Marco Jansen to Shivam Dube, Short and across the left-hander, at 127.7 kph. Shivam Dube stands tall and slaps it with a flat bat, to the left of long off for a single.

6
17.1: Marco Jansen to Shivam Dube, SIX! And away she goes! A juicy half volley on the leg stump, Shivam Dube gets his front leg out of the way to create room and smokes a 91-meter six behind deep mid-wicket.

1WD
17.1: Marco Jansen to Shivam Dube, WIDE! Far, far across the batter, and beyond the guideline, short in length. Dube ignores. Umpire signals for a wide.
