What a big moment this could be in the game. It was in the slot and Shivam Dube almost managed to get this through too but Riyan Parag plunges in between to grab on. Full and on off Shivam Dube frees his arms and crunches it off the middle of the bat to the right of cover. Parag flings himself to the right and outstretches his right hand to grab the ball. The third umpire is summoned to check if it was taken cleanly and after watching a couple of anglesit is deemed a fair catch as Riyan Parag has his fingers underneath the ball when he slides.

Right then, Rajasthan Royals have managed to get off the mark and end their home leg in Guwahati with a win. This now leaves the Mumbai Indians as the only team without a win so far this season. But they have the chance to rectify that very soon as next up, the new week kicks off with a clash between Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. That game will be played on Monday, 31 March and will begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), but you can join us a lot sooner for the build-up. Until then, take care and goodbye!
Jamie Overton comes out to bat now.
Instead of Jofra Archer, the skipper Riyan Parag has gone to Sandeep Sharma, who will bowl the final over. He has 19 to defend now.
What an over that was from Maheesh Theekshana, under the circumstances. He has finished his spell with the figures read (4-0-30-0). Tushar Deshpande (3-0-26-0) will bowl the penultimate over for RR.
It will be a double change here as Wanindu Hasaranga has completed his spell from this end. Maheesh Theekshana (3-0-24-0) comes back into the attack.
Halt! Wanindu Hasaranga has got injured, and he looks in pain. He went to stop the ball and seemed to have done something on his back. He is back onto his feet and fine to continue.
Change? Yes, Sandeep Sharma (2-0-20-0) comes back into the attack.
MS Dhoni comes out to bat at number seven.
Halt! Seems like the ball has got lost as the shot was pretty much good, and the ball traveled back way into the stands. Meanwhile, the batters called off for drinks.
STRATEGIC BREAK! Chennai Super Kings need 72 runs in the last six overs, which is very much gettable from here if their skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad stays till the end, and a couple of batters are yet to come, including MS Dhoni. They should be backing themselves and are searching for a win here after a loss at their home ground against RCB in their last match. This match hangs in pretty much balance here, and both teams will want to cash in the upcoming overs to turn the tide in their way. Rajasthan Royals need a couple more wickets, and they will get into the tail of CSK. RR are looking for their first win this season as they lost both their matches so far. An interesting final passage of play is ahead of us, and with that, Tushar Deshpande (2-0-15-0) comes back into the attack.
It is a double change here. Maheesh Theekshana (2-0-12-0) comes back into the attack.
Sandeep Sharma (1-0-14-0) comes back into the attack.
Ravindra Jadeja comes out to bat at number six for CSK.
Vijay Shankar is the new batter in. A slip in place for the new batter as well.
Has Riyan Parag really managed to take that cleanly? The umpires have reviewed it, but Parag seems confident, and if this is clean, then it is one of the catches of the tournament already. The third umpire checks the replays and reckons it has gone straight into the hands, and the only question is whether, on impact, the ball rolled across the turf or not. The third umpire finds that the fingers are underneath the ball, and OUT comes up on the big screen.
Strategic Break! Advantage RR after the first 9 overs of the chase, and it is really Jofra Archer who set things up with a couple of tidy overs upfront that also included the big wicket of Rachin Ravindra. After the first 5 overs, CSK managed to tee off, but the spinners have yet again stemmed the flow of boundaries. The required rate is now 11, but CSK do bat deep. However, they will hope that this pair of Gaikwad and Dube can provide them with a launching pad. RR will be eyeing up wickets in the middle phase as well. Let's see which team has a positive middle phase.
Shivam Dube, the Impact sub, is the new batter in. He replaces Matheesha Pathirana.
Spin from both ends now as Wanindu Hasaranga comes into the attack.
First signs of spin as Maheesh Theekshana has now been tossed the ball.
Sandeep Sharma comes in to bowl the final over of the Powerplay. Also, the umpire has given Riyan Parag a first official warning for taking too much time between overs.
A slight halt as Jofra Archer isn't happy with the landing area and reckons there's some dew. A bit of saw dust to fix things up and we are good to go again.
A slight halt in play as Ruturaj Gaikwad takes a stinging blow to the underside of the right elbow! That went straight into the blow and that can hurt so much and Gaikwad is really feeling the pain as well. The physio rushes out to have a look, hopefully, he is fine. Gaikwad is back up and is just drinking some water but has that area strapped now as well. Thankfully, he is good to continue.
Who will bowl from the other end? It will be the former CSK player, Tushar Deshpande.
CSK skipper, Ruturaj Gaikwad walks in early at number 3.
