9.3 to DA Warner, what a catch! Slower one, full on the stumps. Warner goes for the reverse scoop and hits it alright but Pathirana jumps to his right and grabs it mid-air and one-handed. 93/1 See all photos
Ravindra Jadeja	4	0	43	1	10.75	5	1	4	0	0
10.4 to PP Shaw, length outside off. Shaw goes for the cut but gets only an outside edge and Dhoni makes no mistake. 103/2 See all photos
Matheesha Pathirana	4	0	31	3	7.75	10	3	1	2	0
14.4 to MR Marsh, 150.4kph and the middle stump is out of the ground. An excellent yorker that moves in a touch to beat Marsh's bat and rattle the woodwork. 134/3 14.6 to T Stubbs, off stump is flat on the ground this time. Another searing yorker, at 149kph. Stubbs had no clue as the ball crashed into the off and middle stumps. 134/4 18.5 to RR Pant, full outside off. Pant goes aerial but ends up slicing it as the bottom hands comes off. It goes miles in the air and Ruturaj Gaikwad, who was settling under it at long-off, had to dive to his left to pouch it. 178/5 See all photos

Khaleel Ahmed	4	1	21	2	5.25	15	1	1	4	0
0.6 to RD Gaikwad, seams back in, nicked behind! The extra ball in the over brings a wicket, and it is CSK captain Gaikwad to fall. Expansive drive to a length ball but it only succeeded in feathering an inside edge through to Pant. Khaleel gets a big early breakthrough for DC. 3/1 2.5 to R Ravindra, short, this time he connects... and a mishit to mid-on ends Ravindra's stay! That had been coming, second wicket for Khaleel. It was all yellow for Ravindra, but not in the good way. Couldn't get his rhythm and then finally chips a pull straight up. There were two fielders competing to take the catch but in the end Stubbs makes it safe with a tumbling effort running across from mid-off. 7/2 See all photos

10.2 to DJ Mitchell, driven... straight back into the buckets! Axar stoops to his left and scoops up the catch, makes the breakthrough for DC. Mitchell hit that pretty well but couldn't keep on top of the bounce. Axar turns and spreads his arms wide to take the acclaim. 75/3 See all photos

13.3 to AM Rahane, plinked to long-on, Mukesh strikes! Perfectly executed slower ball and Rahane holes out. Just a little offcutter wide of the stumps and there was no pace for the batter to work with looking to go down the ground. Safely pouched several yards in from the rope. DC tightening their grip. 102/4 13.4 to Sameer Rizvi, bounce, edged, taken! Lovely stuff from Mukesh, and Rizvi goes first ball! Searching line on off stump and he was looking to close the face, got a thick edge to short third where Khaleel held on to a sharp catch. 102/5 16.1 to S Dube, short with pace off, slapped to long-off! Stand and deliver from Dube but it's gone first class down the throat of Stubbs. Third wicket for Mukesh, who's only bowled seven balls so far. 120/6 See all photos
