    Southee to Bhatia
    Chennai have won, somehow. I am not sure how they managed it. "He manages to find heroes everwhere," says Harsha Bhogle on air. Last year it was Bollinger. This time out of no where, after a horrible first spell, Southee turns up and bowls an unbelievable last over. Three yorkers off the last three balls! You can't ask for more. Full on middle and leg, Bhatia looks to get something, anything under it and work it to the leg side, but it hits the pads and goes nowhere. Southee appeals, but he won't mind that it wasn't given. Chepauk is abuzz. Chennai have won.

    Southee to Abdulla
    they need four off the last ball. Southee's yorker mode is turned on. He gets this one to curve away towards middle and off, Abdulla does well to outside edge it to point. Single taken.

    Southee to Abdulla
    no runs taken! 5 from 2! Southee sends in a wicked yorker a foot outside off, Abdulla tries to create room and go over the off side, but can't get bat on it. They think of a bye, Dhoni doesn't allow it.
    19.3

    Southee to Abdulla
    short ball, he keeps his cool and slaps a pull over the midwicket for a couple more. Smart shot, he knew where the fielders were. 5 from 3.

    Southee to Shukla
    this still ain't over. They need seven. Shukla plays a shot that nearly gets them four of those. He backs away to a length ball outside off and looks for an upper cut, but it wasn't short or fast enough to be sent all the way. Worse, there was third man waiting, a couple of metres inside the circle. Curtains for Shukla.

    Southee to Shukla
    two runs taken in the most innovative manner ever. Shukla charges away to the off side, looking for a scoop and Southee keeps it full and follows the batsman who ends up squirting it off the inner half to Jakati at backward square leg. They run like headless chickens, but fast as gazelles, and Jakati's throw isn't the fastest. Two more.

    Randiv to Tiwary
    ah well, this game is not done turning. Dhoni gets another stumping. Randiv holds his nerve for the last couple of balls and gets Tiwary with an armer that broke past the outside edge after enticing him out of the crease. Tiwary looked to close the face as he drove, it bounced extra but Dhoni ad no problems collecting and breaking the stumps.

    Randiv to Tiwary
    short ball well outside off, came off very slowly and Tiwary could not get bat on it as he tried a dab. Brave ball to bowl at this stage, but he's managed to get a dot ball.

    Randiv to Tiwary
    Tiwary has turned it around. Two blows is all it took. Randiv's melted under the pressure. Should Raina have bowled this over? This one was a length ball, landed on off and sat up beautifully for Tiwary to cart deep over square leg. Bosh. 9 from 8.

    Randiv to Tiwary
    super shot! Tiwary's managed to get muscle under a very full offie, that wasn't a length ball but he did really well to get under it and launch it just over long on.
    18.2

    Randiv to Shukla
    length ball, coming in from off stump and cut away into the covers for one.
    18.1

    Randiv to Shukla
    huge moment. Shukla has gone for a daring reverse sweep and gets it away. Smart shot, given that Randiv's been dealing in doosras, he gets enough meat on it as it turns away and that's four more to third man.
    17.6

    Southee to Shukla
    length ball, Shukla has a swing and gets it over the covers, but Randiv charges in from the deep to keep them to a single. Close finish coming up folks!

    Southee to Shukla
    they needed a boundary, and they've got one in fortuitous circumstances. Tight delivery, following the batsman as he backs away and landing on leg stump, Shukla has a swipe at it and gets an inside edge past fine leg,.
    17.4

    Southee to Tiwary
    slow bouncer from Southee, Tiwary can't time the pull and gets it out to Raina running in from long on.
    17.3
    1
    Southee to Shukla
    Length ball from Southee outside off, cracked powerfully into the covers. Badri does well to jump across from cover, but then doesn't stop the ball cleanly, so they get a single.

    Southee to Shukla
    swing and a miss. No yorker from Southee, the short balls are doing the job. Shukla looks to close his eyes and swing hard, and plays some sort of a pull-cut. No contact made.

    Southee to Shukla
    pressure! Panic! Short of a length and angling in from outside off, defended to the off side and they think of a single. No chance they will risk another run out here.
    16.6

    Raina to Shukla
    Raina ends a top-class over under pressure, with a full length ball that Shukla can't get under as he looks to pull. Single to short fine leg.

    Raina to Gambhir
    Oh boy, what has Gambhir done here?! Tossed up ball on middle and leg, Gambhir gets outside the line and chips it over the covers.Morkel in the deep fumbles, but recovers quickly and sends an uncomfortable throw to Dhoni, who doesn't collect cleanly. It hits his pad and dribbles away towards short third man, but Styris was backing up like a man possessed. Gambhir thought there was a second, but was caught well short by the under-arm throw. What's with Gambhir and running? This game is turning.
