- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.6 Straight down long-off's throat and Ghazanfar is once again MI's powerplay enforcer. Quicker on leg stump rather just outside. Gaikwad backs away looking to go straight down the ground; the shot was on but he just doesn't get enough power behind it and Tilak runs to his right from long-off and after a slight bobble completes the catch 32/15.4 CLEANS HIM UP! Santner has the last laugh and Safaraz is a goner. Lovely flight and dip on this from Santner. Bowls this fuller at 75.2kph on middle and leg, Sarfaraz looks for a sweep, misses and sees his leg stump pegged back 72/28.1 The sweep brings about the undoing of another CSK batter. Carrom ball from Ghazanfar at 89.6kph on off stump, Dube brings out the slog sweep, misses and sees his stumps in a mess. Ghazanfar celebrates and rightly so 91/310.6 Ashwani gets the breakthrough! Brevis' ramp finds the fielder Short and angled across at 125kph. Brevis looks to go up and over, but can't force the pace on this one. Bumrah has to take just a few steps in from deep third. Ashwani's impressive season continues 122/416.5 Oh, that's brilliant from Santner! Full toss around off, Kartik looks to flick it away, but hits it flat towards deep square leg. Santner moves to his left and forward and then dives in front to take it low! Santner looks like he's injured his shoulder, though. He goes off the field for treatment, but he's helped Bumrah get his first wicket of the day 165/517.6 Oh, he's sliced it to the deep point fielder! Slashes at this full and wide delivery. He hit it hard, but it was straight to the fielder. Naman Dhir makes no mistake.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.5 Four dots and a wicket! Mukesh has started with a wicket as well. Raises his finger and then looks up to the heavens to celebrate. Been a tough few days for him with the passing of his mother. On a length just outside off, de Kock pushes at it with hard hands, gets a thick inside-edge with the ball crashing into the stumps 7/20.6 A golden duck for Malewar! This is much slower than his previous five deliveries, he gets some turn and bite and strikes early. Tossed up on a length at 86.6kph on off stump turning away from Malewar, who pushes at it, gets a thin outside edge and Samson moves beautifully with the ball to take a sharp catch. Akeal is off on a celebratory run 7/12.3 Three in three overs for CSK... Akeal what a STAR! Turn and grip and bounce and timber! Lands this on a length at 90.6kph on middle and leg, the ball pitches and turns away from Dhir who is beaten all ends while attempting a cross-batted waft. The stumps are in a mess! 11/313.1 Akeal has the fourth, and it's Mumbai Indians' last real hope - Suryakumar Yadav! Not quite full enough for the sweep as he tosses it up around middle and off, he gets a big top edge and it balloons up to deep backward square. Sarfaraz Khan runs in and grabs it 87/711.5 Chopped on! Akeal has his third! Rohit Sharma has an astonished look in the dugout, while Akeal looks completely unmoved. Quick and flat, fired across him. Tilak looks to swing it away and ends up dragging it on. The form man is out for Mumbai Indians 84/412.1 Hardik is gone second ball! Ungainly hoick as he tries to swing across the line on this full ball on middle. Gets nothing but a top edge. Mukesh Choudhary runs to his left from short third and gobbles it up 85/512.2 Two in two! Rutherford has hit this straight down deep cover's throat. Tossed up full and wide and Rutherford looks to go inside out. Ends up slicing it, and doesn't get the height and distance needed on that one. CSK on top 85/617.1 And another one goes! This is floated full outside off, Thakur looks to go downtown but miscues the slower ball. Goes off the toe end and it's a good catch by Brevis after he has to run in from long-on to get under it 100/916.6 And that's another one gone. Overton has his first of the game as Krish Bhagat's vigil comes to an end. Full around middle and leg, he looks to flick it away, but hits it straight to deep fine leg 100/818.6 Edged and taken! Chennai Super Kings have inflicted on Mumbai Indians their biggest defeat by runs in IPL history! Sanju Samson and Akeal Hosein the stars of a famous El Clasico triumph for Chennai Super Kings today. This was a back of length ball angled across and Bumrah tries to jab at it, ends up giving Samson a catch to wrap up a win that he started with the bat 104/10Extras7 (lb 1, w 6)TOTAL104 all out (19 Overs, RR: 5.47)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Danish Malewar, 0.6 ov), 2-7 (Quinton de Kock, 1.5 ov), 3-11 (Naman Dhir, 2.3 ov), 4-84 (Tilak Varma, 11.5 ov), 5-85 (Hardik Pandya, 12.1 ov), 6-85 (Sherfane Rutherford, 12.2 ov), 7-87 (Suryakumar Yadav, 13.1 ov), 8-100 (Krish Bhagat, 16.6 ov), 9-100 (Shardul Thakur, 17.1 ov), 10-104 (Jasprit Bumrah, 18.6 ov)
