MS Dhoni-led Chennai took on Punjab on Sunday. 

Here is what's happened in Chennai v/s Punjab:

23:45

Punjab win the match by 4 runs. Dhoni, playing with a sore back, could not finish it for CSK here. Three dot balls in the final over sealed Punjab's win. Dhoni got a six off the last ball but it was in vain. Dhoni remains not out on 79 off 44 balls.

23:38

Dhoni, Dhoni, Dhoni-- he takes 18 runs off the last 4 balls after Jadeja falls to Andre Tye. Chennai now need 17 runs in 6 balls. It is more impressive because he is under a lot of pain.

This one is going to the last ball again.

23:30

Chennai have added 55 runs in the last 5 overs. Dhoni and Jadeja have brought the equation down to 36 runs in 12 balls. They still have four wickets remaining. 

23:15

Chennai have reached 122 for 4 in 15 overs. It's getting very tough for CSK here... they need 76 runs in 30 balls. Amabati Rayudu who was set has departed on 49. However, they still have MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja out in the middle. Dwyane Bravo is also to come. Do we have another thriller on cards here?​

22:35

Chennai haven't gotten off to desired start chasing a stiff 198. After losing Watson in the second over, the Yellow Army has lost Murali Vijay (12) and Sam Billings (9), which gives the hosts control as of now. At the end of seven overs, the score reads 58/3, and CSK requiring 140 more in the remaining 13 overs to win. 

22:15

CSK have lost an early wicket in the form of Shane Watson (11). Watson fell to Mohit Sharma caught at short fine leg by Barinder Sran. However, Murali Vijay and Ambati Rayudu have kept the scorecard ticking. They are 31/1 at the end of three overs. ​

21:55

198 is the target. Shane Watson and Murali Vijay will open the batting for Chennai. A new batting combination up front for the visitors. They will hope for it to work. Barinder Sran will open the bowling for Punjab.

21:30

KXIP have lost their way since losing Chris Gayle and have slipped to 160/5, as Imran Tahir removed Mayank Aggarwal (30) and Aaron Finch (0) off consecutive balls in the 15th over. Yuvraj too also couldn't kick on and was dismissed for 20 by Shardul Thakur.

22:55

The Gaylestorm has finally ended as Shane Watson removed Chris Gayle for 63 off 33 balls. Earlier, Harbhajan has sent back KL Rahul (37 runs off 22 balls). Gayle targeted every bowler but the experienced Watson and Dwyane Bravo have finally stemmed the flow of runs a little.

Punjab were once looking set for 220+ but now Chennai will look to contain them under 200. The current run rate is 11.3 as Punjab have scored 127/2 in 11.3 overs. 

20:25

Chris Gayle is here and he is doing what he does. He has raced to 46 off just 21 balls during the powerplay. He had already hit 6 fours and 3 sixes. The dangerous KL Rahul, who has scored 28 off 15 balls, is almost forgotten. Punjab are 75/0 after 6 overs.

What a start!
