seals it with a six, down the ground and a big hammer over long-on for a big one, finishes it in style

Kartik to Dhoni, SIX runs
So a comprehensive win for Chennai on a near-perfect day. Once they dismissed Brendon McCullum, Chennai never looked back. Oram and Murali led a fine bowling effort before Hayden and Dhoni finished it off easily. They've played three good games so far and remain the team to beat in this competition.
Bangalore v Rajasthan starts in a bit. George Binoy is ready for the commentary and you can switch screens for that. Chelsea lead at Stamford Bridge. Thanks for joining us for this one. Good night, and good luck

down the leg side and easily done, helped along to fine leg for a four, only five needed now
Hayden needs 16 more for the orange cap. Can't manage it in this game, though. Kartik on now.

Sharma to Hayden, SIX runs
smack, hard and straight, standing tall and blitzing that way over the bowler for a big one, this is all ending too fast, Chennai going bananas. Time for a bath at the Marina.

backs away, gives room, sliced away over extra-cover for a couple, Hayden in a hurry to finish this off, it seems

Sharma to Hayden, 5 wide
that was too short and too wide down leg side, attempted bouncer all gone wrong, over the batsman, over the keeper and all the way for four

2
Sharma to Hayden, 2 runs
short one to begin with and Hayden walks down the ground and pulls it forcefully, good bit of fielding at the boundary but they manage two anyway
Ishant is back but the horse is long bolted. 27 off 30. As easy as a walk down Marina beach.
