K Gowtham Thamarai Kannan to Santhosh Kumar D, OUT! Fumble but taken in the second attempt and the impact player has struck early! A quick short ball, around middle, angling away, Santhosh Kumar D looked to pull but was hurried on by the pace. Got a top edge, which swirled in the air but Shahrukh Khan was ready for it. He ran to his left from mid on but overran it perhaps. Went with both hands initially, but the ball popped out, due to his hastiness. However, similar to that Hardik Pandya catch in the Australia-India clash in the 2024 World Cup, Khan stuck out his left hand and voila, it stuck! The impact player does not work for CSG as he departs for a duck. Chepauk are 0/1 after 2 balls!

K Gowtham Thamarai Kannan to Baba Aparajith, FOUR! Merry Christmas. Down the leg side, fuller as well, talk about Eid and Diwali as well, Aparajith just clips it past the diving keeper, to the fine leg fence. First boundary of the chase.

K Gowtham Thamarai Kannan to Baba Aparajith, FOUR! Up and away! Wide line again, from Thamarai Kannan, on a length, BA reaches out and carves it over point to end an eventful opening over. However, one feels that Kannan did not make use of the wicket.

M. Siddharth to Baba Aparajith, FOUR! Finds the gap! On middle, Aparajith uses the angle of the ball coming into him and works it through the open spaces on the leg side. Finds the gap at mid-wicket.

M. Siddharth to Baba Aparajith, FOUR! There you go. That's much more like Baba Aparajith. Not too much wrong with that delivery, at the most, a bit short, if any, but the classy Aparajith picks the length early, goes back in a trice and punches it through the cover-point region.

K Gowtham Thamarai Kannan to Narayan Jagadeesan, FOUR! First boundary for Narayan Jagadeesan. Fractionally short, outside off, Jagadeesan goes back and heaves it wide of mid on. The fielder dives but the ball goes beneath his sprawl.

M Mohammed to Narayan Jagadeesan, FOUR! A couple of bounces and goes through the fence! Hard length, and straight on the top of the middle, Narayan Jagadeesan stays tall and plays it in the air over the bowler with a horizontal bat and gets a boundary downtown.

M Mohammed to Baba Aparajith, SIX! Clears the fence with ease! Short in length this time and on a hard length, Baba Aparajith was waiting for the short one and totally picks the bones out of it by pulling it over deep mid-wicket for a six.

M Mohammed to Narayan Jagadeesan, FOUR! Slapped away! Slower one again, outside off, Narayan Jagadeesan positions himself pretty well by transferring the weight on the back foot before cutting it past cover-point for a boundary. He won't spare these lose balls fed to him.

M Mohammed to Narayan Jagadeesan, OUT! YOU MISS I HIT, SAYS M MOHAMMED! Another slower one attacking the pegs, on a length, Narayan Jagadeesan is hurried into the shot as his eyes lit up on this desired length for a pull. He completely misjudged the lack of pace on it and swooshes his bat across the line and the ball sneaks through his inside edge and dismantles the furniture. The leg stump goes cartwheeling! A huge blow to CSG.

Shahrukh Khan to Baba Aparajith, OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! LKK ARE ALL PUMPED UP AND WHY NOT! It is the dangerman Baba Aparajith who walks back to the sheds and the LKK skipper, Shahrukh Khan does the trick in his very first over. Shahrukh Khan bowls a length ball, in front of the stumps, a bit slower through the air with the high-arm action, Baba Aparajith sits down to slog it away, gets his bat underneath the ball but skies it high up in the air. He gets the height but unfortunately, not the distance. It swirls up in the night sky straight towards long on where Balasubramaniam Sachin takes a good catch.

Jhatavedh Subramanyan to Daryl Ferrario, OUT! What was S Daryl trying to do here? Absolute suicidal there and a lack of game awareness. Bowls a flipper outside off, on a fuller length, S Daryl employs the reverse sweep but fails to connect. The keeper collects it cleanly behind the wickets as the off-side replay confirms. But, all of a sudden, S Daryl gets up and walks out of the crease as if he is going for a walk in a park. The wicket-keeper, Suresh Kumar seizes the opportunity and flashes off the bails in the blink of an eye. Absolutely casual approach there by the batter and now, this game is hanging on a knife's edge. Lyca Kovai Kings are well and truly back in the game.

Valliappan Yudheeswaran to Pradosh Ranjan Paul, FOUR! Lovely shot. On a length, outside off, Pradosh Ranjan Paul uses the pace of the bowler and deftly guides it to the right of deep third.

Shahrukh Khan to Pradosh Ranjan Paul, FOUR! That will help relieve the pressure for Chepauk. Another arm ball, a bit too straight, short in length, Paul goes back and just guides it with the angle, between deep mid-wicket and long on.

M. Siddharth to Pradosh Ranjan Paul, FOUR! A boundary after 24 balls! Landed on middle, Pradosh Ranjan Paul heaves it towards deep mid-wicket off the inner half of the bat and finally gets a boundary.

M. Siddharth to Pradosh Ranjan Paul, OUT! Run out! Superb piece of athleticism by the bowler! Jitendra Kumar CH is well short. Outside off, Paul punched it through the covers and called his partner for the second. Kumar was a touch slow in turning and the fielder was quicker. Returned a wide but still, gatherable throw to the bowler. Siddharth reached out, collected and disturbed the stumps. Now, there is some microscopism. The replay shows that Siddharth lost the ball while trying to affect the run out but a closer look sees the ball deflect onto the stumps, then go down, before the hand hit the timber. A struggling partnership broken.

M. Siddharth to Pradosh Ranjan Paul, FOUR! Goes for the yorker, does Siddharth but execution is missing. Paul gets low and scoops it over the keeper.

Valliappan Yudheeswaran to Abhishek Tanwar, SIX! Up, up and away! Instant impact by Tanwar! Is there still life in this match? Full, outside off, Abhishek Tanwar gets underneath it and swings it straight back over the sightscreen!
