We are back for the all-important chase!

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Chennai, on the other hand, started well with Tushar Deshpande bowling a good first over but they couldn't build on it. The rain delay helped them a bit as after that, Maheesh Theekshana and Mitchell Santner used the conditions nicely and pulled things back a bit but Jadeja was quite expensive. Once the spinners finished their spells, the conditions also got better for batting and the pacers could not really contain the batters that much. Shardul Thakur ended up with a couple of wickets but

Cameron Green is up for a quick chat. He says that the wicket was a bit tough and is happy with the score and hopes that the wicket stays the same in the next innings. Mentions that Faf and Virat batted beautifully and gave them a platform to build on and it was similar to Dharamsala where there was some turn after the rain. Adds that with the extra batter, you can go at the bowlers from the 14-15th overs.

Bengaluru after a quite first over got going nicely with Virat Kohli taking the charge with Faf du Plessis struggling a bit. However, their momentum was halted due to a rain stoppage. After the break, the pitch suddenly started turning a lot making it difficult for both batters to score freely and it took them a few overs to get used to it. Once they did, they started the attack again but unfortunately, Kohli was dismissed just short of his fifty. Skipper Faf continued to rack up the runs and

Bengaluru finishes off on a high! They have posted a huge total on the board and now that 18-run margin looks much likelier. It was a complete batting performance as almost everyone contributed excellently and they will feel a lot more confident of defending it. Chennai will be really disappointed as they have made it difficult for themselves and will need to bat their skins out to make it to the next round.

Mahipal Lomror walks out to bat now.

Shardul Thakur to Mahipal Lomror, A dot to end! Shardul Thakur comes from around the stumps and bowls it seam up, on a good length and in the channel around off, angling it back in sharply. Mahipal Lomror looks to play it away on the off side but is beaten past the outside edge. Bengaluru get 13 runs off the final over and finish with 218/5 on the board!

Shardul Thakur to Glenn Maxwell, ! CAUGHT!

Shardul Thakur to Glenn Maxwell, Four!

Shardul Thakur to Glenn Maxwell, ! Shardul Thakur misses the yorker by a few inches and Glenn Maxwell punishes him.

Shardul Thakur to Glenn Maxwell, Hit hard but not quite in the gap! Full and angled in at the toes, Glenn Maxwell clears the front leg and hits it firmly just in front of deep mid-wicket for a couple of runs.

Shardul Thakur to Cameron Green, Not quite timed! A low full toss on middle and angling in, Cameron Green stays deep in the crease and hits it off the toe end of the bat, flat and well in front of long on for just a single.

Who will bowl the last over? It will be Shardul Thakur.

Glenn Maxwell comes out to the middle now.

Tushar Deshpande to Glenn Maxwell, ! That is streaky but Glenn Maxwell will take it with both hands. A slower bumper over middle stump, Maxwell is very early to set up for the reverse hit but is beaten by the lack of pace and the ball ends up lobbing off the gloves and over the keeper's head and eventually trickles into the fence.

Tushar Deshpande to Dinesh Karthik, ! EDGED AND GONE!

Tushar Deshpande to Dinesh Karthik, ! That is some skill from Dinesh Karthik and he has fooled everyone here. Full and wide again, DK shuffles a long way across and threatens to go over fine leg but at the last moment just reverse ramps it between the keeper and short third for a boundary.

Tushar Deshpande to Dinesh Karthik, ! Enough on it to clear the ropes! Full and wide again, Dinesh Karthik knew exactly what he wanted to do and shuffles across the off stump before picking it up and slogging it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum.

Tushar Deshpande to Dinesh Karthik, WIDE! Too short and too wide outside off, left alone for another extra run.

Tushar Deshpande to Cameron Green, Oh, that must have stung! A low full toss outside off stump, Cameron Green pings it straight back and the ball hits the leg of the bowler Tushar Deshpande and rolls away through mid on. Just the single then and it has been a fine over from Deshpande so far.

Tushar Deshpande to Cameron Green, WIDE! On a good length and well outside off, flirting with the tramline, Cameron Green swings wildly across the line but misses and a wide is called. Ruturaj Gaikwad has reviewed it though and it seems pretty close.

Tushar Deshpande to Dinesh Karthik, Full and wide outside off, gets it bang on, Dinesh Karthik squeezes it away past the point region and picks up a single.

Shardul Thakur to Dinesh Karthik, Another full toss, angled into middle and leg, Dinesh Karthik can't get under it and ends up swatting it off the inner half of the bat to mid-wicket for a quick single.

Shardul Thakur to Dinesh Karthik, Good fielding! Full and wide, Dinesh Karthik waits for it and opens the bat face late to just angle it fine of third man where Ravindra Jadeja scampers across and keeps it down to two.

Shardul Thakur to Rajat Patidar, ! CAUGHT! Daryl Mitchell with another perfectly judged catch in the deep and Shardul Thakur gets a vital wicket.

Who walks out now?

Shardul Thakur to Cameron Green, Much better from Shardul Thakur as he gets this one in the blockhole around off stump, Cameron Green jams it down to long on for a single.

Shardul Thakur to Cameron Green, MORE! Slower ball, bowled into the pitch around off and just sits up nicely for the batter. Cameron Green goes after the half-tracker and hoicks it over deep mid-wicket yet again for another maximum.

Shardul Thakur to Cameron Green, ! A juicy full toss and Cameron Green gleefully accepts the gift. A waist-height full toss over middle, Green swings it away with raw power over deep mid-wicket for a biggie.

Tushar Deshpande to Rajat Patidar, ! The extra delivery has cost Chennai big time as Rajat Patidar sends the ball sailing into the crowd. Pitched up right in the slot around off, Patidar gets a bit low and smacks the ball pretty high and well over deep square leg for a biggie. 16 off that over!

Tushar Deshpande to Rajat Patidar, WIDE! Pace on this time, bowled on a length and pushed well outside the off stump, Rajat Patidar swings and misses and a wide is called.

Tushar Deshpande to Rajat Patidar, Banged in well short and slower again at just 104 clicks and gets the ball to hold into the pitch. Rajat Patidar looks to pull but gets a top edge back onto the helmet and now, a mandatory concussion check will follow but Patidar looks fine.

Tushar Deshpande to Rajat Patidar, WIDE! Short and wide outside off, the attempted slower bumper and it is left alone for a wide.

Tushar Deshpande to Rajat Patidar, Good change-up delivery from Tushar Deshpande as he bowls this one slower and on a good length outside off. Rajat Patidar has a swipe across the line but is beaten for the lack of pace.

Tushar Deshpande to Cameron Green, Nice and full again outside the off stump, Cameron Green can only hit the low full toss down to long off for a single.

Tushar Deshpande to Rajat Patidar, On the bounce!

Tushar Deshpande to Rajat Patidar, ! Stand and deliver! Banged in on a hard length and over middle stump, Rajat Patidar just stays put and goes after it, whacking it high and just over the long on fence for a maximum.

Strategic-Break! Chennai are suddenly looking like a side not knowing what to do at the moment and their skipper has just dropped an easy chance that could hurt them a lot. They will hope that in these last four overs they can at least restrict the home side to under 200 but they will need to bowl really well. Bengaluru are in a good position and with both Rajat Patidar and Cameron Green firing, they will look to go well beyond that 200-run mark keeping in mind that they will need to win this

Shardul Thakur to Cameron Green, AND ! Skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad with what could be a costly dropped catch.

Shardul Thakur to Rajat Patidar, Full and straight at the stumps, gets it in the blockhole, Rajat Patidar miscues it off the inner half of the bat down to backward square leg for one more.

Shardul Thakur to Cameron Green, Six!

Shardul Thakur to Rajat Patidar, Leg bye! MS Dhoni knew it straightaway and Chennai waste a review here. Full and angling back in from outside off stump, Rajat Patidar goes across for the lap sweep but misses. The ball goes off the pads behind square leg and they get a leg bye. Shardul Thakur appeals vociferously and convinces Ruturaj Gaikwad to take the review but Ball Tracking shows that the impact was outside off stump.

Shardul Thakur to Rajat Patidar, ! Streaky but will do nicely! Full and wide outside off with third man inside the ring, Rajat Patidar goes hard at it and ends up slicing it over short third for a boundary.

Maheesh Theekshana to Cameron Green, Pushed through quicker, short and on middle, Cameron Green backs away to cut but misses, MS Dhoni does well to collect it behind the stumps. Maheesh Theekshana finishes off an excellent spell giving away just 25 runs in his 4 overs.

Maheesh Theekshana to Cameron Green, ! Good shot! Flighted, full and on middle, Cameron Green lofts it with the toe-end of the bat over the bowler's head, gets enough power behind it to go for a boundary.

Simarjeet Singh to Rajat Patidar, EDGED AND !

Halt! There is a slight delay in proceedings at the moment as the bowler's landing area seems to be an issue for Simarjeet Singh. Some sawdust is brought on to put on the area and we are good to go.

Cameron Green walks out to bat now.

Simarjeet Singh to Cameron Green, 1 run.

Mitchell Santner to Rajat Patidar, ! RUN OUT! So, so unfortunate for Faf du Plessis and Bengaluru!

Is that out? There is an appeal for a run out and the third umpire is called in. The replays are thoroughly checked and the third umpire concludes that the ball was just in the air when the bails came off.

Mitchell Santner to Rajat Patidar, Beaten!

Mitchell Santner to Virat Kohli, ! CAUGHT! Mitchell Santner has the last laugh and he picks up a huge wicket thanks to some stellar work on the fence from fellow Kiwi Daryl Mitchell. Santner gives this one a bit more flight and drifts it full onto the legs, Virat Kohli looks to flick it aerially but tries to go straighter this time and ends up closing the bat face early.

Strategic-Break! After the rain stoppage, the pitch has slowed down a bit and the spinners have come into play massively. Chennai have a lot of options and will hope that they can use these conditions and restrict the home side. Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis struggled initially after the resumption but the former has got the hold of the pitch and is starting to attack again but will need help from his skipper as well.

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Chennai, on the other hand, started well with Tushar Deshpande bowling a good first over but they couldn't build on it. The rain delay helped them a bit as after that, Maheesh Theekshana and Mitchell Santner used the conditions nicely and pulled things back a bit but Jadeja was quite expensive. Once the spinners finished their spells, the conditions also got better for batting and the pacers could not really contain the batters that much. Shardul Thakur ended up with a couple of wickets but

Cameron Green is up for a quick chat. He says that the wicket was a bit tough and is happy with the score and hopes that the wicket stays the same in the next innings. Mentions that Faf and Virat batted beautifully and gave them a platform to build on and it was similar to Dharamsala where there was some turn after the rain. Adds that with the extra batter, you can go at the bowlers from the 14-15th overs.

Bengaluru after a quite first over got going nicely with Virat Kohli taking the charge with Faf du Plessis struggling a bit. However, their momentum was halted due to a rain stoppage. After the break, the pitch suddenly started turning a lot making it difficult for both batters to score freely and it took them a few overs to get used to it. Once they did, they started the attack again but unfortunately, Kohli was dismissed just short of his fifty. Skipper Faf continued to rack up the runs and

Bengaluru finishes off on a high! They have posted a huge total on the board and now that 18-run margin looks much likelier. It was a complete batting performance as almost everyone contributed excellently and they will feel a lot more confident of defending it. Chennai will be really disappointed as they have made it difficult for themselves and will need to bat their skins out to make it to the next round.

Mahipal Lomror walks out to bat now.

Shardul Thakur to Mahipal Lomror, A dot to end! Shardul Thakur comes from around the stumps and bowls it seam up, on a good length and in the channel around off, angling it back in sharply. Mahipal Lomror looks to play it away on the off side but is beaten past the outside edge. Bengaluru get 13 runs off the final over and finish with 218/5 on the board!

Shardul Thakur to Glenn Maxwell, ! CAUGHT!

Shardul Thakur to Glenn Maxwell, Four!

Shardul Thakur to Cameron Green, Not quite timed! A low full toss on middle and angling in, Cameron Green stays deep in the crease and hits it off the toe end of the bat, flat and well in front of long on for just a single.

Who will bowl the last over? It will be Shardul Thakur.

Glenn Maxwell comes out to the middle now.

Tushar Deshpande to Glenn Maxwell, ! That is streaky but Glenn Maxwell will take it with both hands. A slower bumper over middle stump, Maxwell is very early to set up for the reverse hit but is beaten by the lack of pace and the ball ends up lobbing off the gloves and over the keeper's head and eventually trickles into the fence.

Tushar Deshpande to Dinesh Karthik, ! EDGED AND GONE!

Tushar Deshpande to Dinesh Karthik, ! That is some skill from Dinesh Karthik and he has fooled everyone here. Full and wide again, DK shuffles a long way across and threatens to go over fine leg but at the last moment just reverse ramps it between the keeper and short third for a boundary.

Tushar Deshpande to Cameron Green, Oh, that must have stung! A low full toss outside off stump, Cameron Green pings it straight back and the ball hits the leg of the bowler Tushar Deshpande and rolls away through mid on. Just the single then and it has been a fine over from Deshpande so far.

They will hope that in these last four overs they can at least restrict the home side to under 200 but they will need to bowl really well. Bengaluru are in a good position and with both Rajat Patidar and Cameron Green firing, they will look to go well beyond that 200-run mark keeping in mind that they will need to win this
