Varun Chakaravarthy to Hooda, out Caught by Vaibhav Arora!! This is terrible for CSK. But hang on - they are cheering as guess who is walking into bat - MSD! They maybe 72/7, but that's not stopping the Chepauk crowd. We have seen this movie so many times before. A simple regulation good length delivery on middle, Hooda goes on the back foot and flicks, does not keep it down, Arora at mid-wicket almost misjudged it, but dives forward and hangs on at the last moment. The impact sub goes for a duck. Hooda c Vaibhav Arora b Varun Chakaravarthy 0(4)

Varun Chakaravarthy to Shankar, out Caught by Moeen Ali!! Shankar's luck runs out. Moeen does not make a mistake. Varun wins the battle against his TN team-mate. He has bowled short of length this over and keeps it in that area, Shankar tries to manufacture a shot and perishes in the process.
