Williamson backs away a touch, Mohit follows him with tight yorker, which is bunted towards long-off. CSK score their second victory, this one more emphatic than the first
That's all we have for you from this game. Vishal Dikshit is calling the KKR v RCB game, do join him there. Until next time, this is Deivarayan Muthu and Sanjay Murari saying sayonara.
Idrees: "Can anyone update me on the KKR vs RCB game?
Brendon McCullum, Man of the Match: I though today's performance was really good and it was thorough batting performance. It was far too long ago. We have a really good team spirit and it is nice to start the campaign like this. I was a little more circumspect today. In New Zealand you can start from ball one and be proactive. It helps when you have Dwayne Smith at the other end. Partnership is very crucial and we had a few of them. The SRH boys have some good guys, it will be tough to beat them later in the competition. We get on the road now.
MS Dhoni, CSK captain: I think we batted really well as a unit, the beauty was the way he [McCullum] carried. Coming from New Zealand, he would have felt hot. We perhaps got 20 more runs. It is a difficult one to rate. ODIs and T20s are different. When it is fresh in mind, you always rate it best. No point rating it, he played well. It is always important to win at home. It is a good win for us and looks a settled side. The fielding has gone up further. I think it was a very good effort.
Presentation time:
The combination of Baz's ton, Dhoni's lusty clubs and the force of the Chepauk crowd was too good for SRH. David Warner and Dhawan gave SRH a bright start, but the middle order did not turn up. Williamson's batting demotion was as surprising as Axar's promotion yesterday. Ashwin settled into an asphyxiating rhythm and was well backed up by the assortment of the slower balls from Bravo and Mohit as SRH came up short by 45 runs.
clean strike from Williamson. Too little and too late, though. Length ball outside off, Williamson extends his arms and hoists it over long-off. Even Baz can't propel himself upward and intercept it. Should Williamson have batted up the order?

yorker at the base of the leg stump, he backs away and squeezes it out to the off side
dug in short and on middle, he clears his front leg, semi slogs, semi pulls it away to cow corner
back of a length and outside off, cut late to point
Raina completes a brilliant catch and Dhoni applauds, he now tops the list of match catches in the IPL. Most runs, most catches, Mr.IPL. Slower length ball on middle, Karn steps away a touch and slices it in the air. Raina runs to his right from long-off dives, tumbles and plucks it. Bravo has his hands aloft in joy
off-speed ball outside off, Kane Williamson can't manufacture his own pace. Punched down to long-on, not much power behind that, though
dug in short and climbs alarmingly, Karn takes his eyes off the ball and mis-times the pull over square leg
slower short ball on off, does not come onto Williamson. Mit-hit pull over midwicket
Karn rides the bounce of this short one outside off and steers it straight to short third
FYI, Faf is at long-on
slower length ball on middle, lashed down to Raina at long-off
Nehra slides this outside off, Karn wants to smash it from Chepauk to Tambaram. But only meets it with thin air. Change of pace, I reckon
