Noor Ahmad to Phil Salt, out Stumped!! MS 'fast hands' Dhoni has done it again. This was even better than the one that dismissed SKY in the previous game. The googly from Noor and it spins away, Salt stays leg-side and looks to drive inside out, gets beaten on the outside edge and the back foot is lifted for a second and planted back in the crease, that was enough time for Dhoni to light up the bails. We will know soon how much time Dhoni took to do the stumping. The Super Kings are fighting back nicely here.. Phil Salt st Dhoni b Noor Ahmad 32(16) [4s-5 6s-1]

Ashwin to Phil Salt, FOUR, massive over, 16 runs. Another poor delivery from Ashwin and Salt cashes in. Sliding down leg, Salt kneels down and helps it past short fine, once it beats the inner ring there's no stopping that

Ashwin to Phil Salt, FOUR, lovely shot! Once again the carrom ball, flatter and fraction short, Salt makes room and punches it in front of square, right between extra cover and mid-off. No one bothered to chase that down..

Ashwin to Phil Salt, SIX, that's a gift first up from Ashwin. Attempts the carrom ball but drags it short, the line is around leg-stump and it is a free-hit for Salt, he pivots around and pulls it over backward square. Gone all the way..

Khaleel Ahmed to Phil Salt, 1 run, I0$ back of a length and cramping Salt for room, he swivels and mistimes the pull to square leg

Khaleel Ahmed to Phil Salt, FOUR, this is off the middle. Khaleel angles it across and offers readymade width for Salt to free his arms, he goes hard and slices it over backward point, one bounce and over the ropes
0.4

Khaleel Ahmed to Phil Salt, FOUR, streaky! Both Khaleel and Salt have a smile on their face. Not where Salt intended the ball to go but he's off the mark with a boundary. Fullish delivery at the stumps, Salt swings across the line and the top-edge flies over the slip cordon
0.3
Khaleel Ahmed to Phil Salt, no run, that's a good short ball. Angles it across the right hander, Salt thought about taking it on but aborted from the pull shot
0.2
Khaleel Ahmed to Phil Salt, no run, shimmies down and is met by a I0$ short of length delivery, misses the pull and is struck on the thigh pad
0.1
Khaleel Ahmed to Phil Salt, no run, play and miss first ball. Khaleel goes all the way to Salt and has a word. Looked friendly. Back of a length and angled across, Salt has a loose waft away from the body and is beaten on the outside edge
