M Mohammed to Anirudha, out Caught by Hari Nishanth!! Anirudha misses out on his century! Pulls the short ball in order to clear deep mid-wicket but fails to clear the fence. So near, yet so far.. 98 it is! Karaikudi kaalai end with 158//7. Anirudha c Hari Nishanth b M Mohammed 98(59) [4s-7 6s-7]
19.3
M Mohammed to Anirudha, 2 runs, that was in the air, but he's safe! Went hard at the short ball and miscued it towards deep mid-off. The ball dropped short off the fielder and although the throw was a flat one, it wasn't enough to get the batsman out. He drags his bat in and completes the second

M Mohammed to Anirudha, FOUR, stand and deliver! Pitched up by the bowler and Anirudha has bludgeoned it straight over the bowler's head. Just a big hit away from his century
18.5
4
Ramalingam Rohit to Anirudha, FOUR, carved through point! An overpitched ball by the bowler and it's been sliced past the man at point by Anirudha, proving to be a match defining knock
18.2
W
Ramalingam Rohit to Rajkumar, out Caught by N Jagadeesan!! Ramalingam Rohit is on a hat-trick! A flop show by Rajkumar as he fails to trouble the scorers. Was way too early in his wild swing and gets a feather on it. Good decision by the umpire as it was a very faint tickle. Rajkumar c N Jagadeesan b Ramalingam Rohit 0(1)
18.1
W
Ramalingam Rohit to Shajahan, out Bowled!! End of Shajahan's story! Moves away in order to make room but Ramalingam Rohit dishes out a yorker and gets him. Beats him for pace and takes down timber. There was hint of away swing too, and that was the reason why he couldn't connect his drive. Shajahan b Ramalingam Rohit 16(17) [4s-2]
17.3
Ashwin to Shajahan, 1 run, a mix-up between the batsmen but Shajahan is safe. He had chopped this one to point and went for a single. However, his partner sent him back. He dropped his bat too but the throw at the keeper's end wasn't a great one, hence the batsman survives
17.1
4
Ashwin to Anirudha, FOUR, boundaries keep flowing! Ashwin bowls a carrom ball outside off and Anirudha tries to reach for it. Goes hard at the carrom ball and it comes off the cue-end and races away to the third man boundary
17
4
M Mohammed to Shajahan, FOUR, short ball by Mohammed and Shajahan pulls it away to the deep backward square leg, that's a very expensive over - 16 runs off it
16.5
4
M Mohammed to Shajahan, FOUR, Shajahan was trying to send it to oblivion but gets an outside edge. Swings hard and the edge flies down to the third man fence
16.3
6
M Mohammed to Anirudha, SIX, that's an effortless shot by Anirudha. Gets hold of the slower ball and tonks it over long-on for half-a-dozen. Time for a new ball!
15.4
4
Trilok Nag to Anirudha, FOUR, Anirudha moves into the 70s! On the pads and it's been whipped towards deep square leg by the opener
14.5
6
M Mohammed to Anirudha, SIX, that wasn't a well timed shot but even then it's gone the distance. He went back in the crease and pulled it towards deep square leg, somewhat came of the top-edge but the fact that he'd played it with the wind, made it clear the boundary
13.2
W
M Silambarasan to Rajhamany Srinivasan, out Lbw!! Slow death for Rajhamany Srinivasan. The umpire's finger went up in slow motion and it's a heart break for the batsman, it's a golden duck for him. Silambarasan bowls a flatter delivery that skids along the deck, Rajhamany gets beaten due to the lack of bounce and gets struck on the pads. The impact was on middle and if that's not out, nothing else in this world would probably be. Rajhamany Srinivasan lbw b M Silambarasan 0(1)
12.5
W
M Mohammed to Maan Bafna, out Caught by Ashwin!! Mohammed strikes! The short ball does the trick, not a menacing delivery but Bafna was undone by the pace. Ended up getting a top edge that skied towards mid-wicket where Ashwin trekked backward to take it with his back to the ball. This is a good passage of play for the Dragons as they look to pull things back. Maan Bafna c Ashwin b M Mohammed 1(5)
12.3
6
M Mohammed to Anirudha, SIX, has that gone all the way? It has! Woah, that's sensational! Didn't look like Anirudha had got hold of this as he swung across the line. Probably the wind aided him and it clears long-on with ease
12.1
F
M Mohammed to Anirudha, FOUR, streaky runs! Cut back in from a good length, cramping Anirudha and found the inside edge that just missed the leg pole by a whisker. Lucky way to get to a fifty!
10.5
W
Ashwin to Karthik, out Bowled!! Ashwin takes out Karthik! The Dragons captain kept bowling himself during this phase precisely for this, to take out one of these KK big guns. Ends up taking out the opposition's best batsman. Must say it's a poor shot from Karthik, went across the line to a slowish off break that didn't really spin much. Sneaked past the bat and disturbed the furniture. Karthik b Ashwin 17(15) [4s-2]
10.2
6
Ashwin to Anirudha, SIX, another massive hit! Anirudha is starting to tee off now. Gets one flighted up and just clears his front leg to slog sweep it over cow corner. Into the trees outside the ground
9.5
4
M Silambarasan to Karthik, FOUR, Silambarasan is losing the plot here, another 'hit me' ball. Full toss this time and Karthik just has to pick his spot. Heaves it away into the gap at deep mid-wicket
9.3
4
M Silambarasan to Karthik, FOUR, freebie, too short on leg stump and Karthik sits back to nail the pull, bisecting long-on and deep mid-wicket
8.1
6
Ashwin to Anirudha, SIX, that's gone into Chennai city! What a hit! Carrom ball perhaps from Ashwin but Anirudha gets under it and smokeyyyyyyyyy. Soars into the night sky over long-on. New ball please!

W
J Kaushik to L Suryaprakash, out Bowled!! Off stump is pegged back! They're checking for the front foot no ball but Kaushik is fine on that count. Terrible shot from Suryaprakash as he backed away for the big shot but was never close to connecting this one. Smart work from the pacer as he kept it simple, aiming the sticks and gets rewarded. L Suryaprakash b J Kaushik 20(22) [4s-4]
5.2
6
J Kaushik to Anirudha, SIX, launched over deep mid-wicket! Can't be bowling half-trackers at this gentle pace. Sits up nicely for Anirudha who shovel-pulls
4.3
4
M Silambarasan to Anirudha, FOUR, superbly timed! Already signs that this is a wonderful batting track. Slightly short, it's the arm ball and Anirudha stands tall to punch it on the up, wide of mid-off and away to the fence in no time
3.2
6
J Kaushik to Anirudha, SIX, clean as a whistle! Anirudha won't resist playing the big shots, especially if it is in his zone. This was in the slot and he just ensured that he cleared the infield at mid-off. Connected so well that it went all the way
3
4
Ramalingam Rohit to L Suryaprakash, FOUR, goes hard this time on seeing the width but only manages a thick outside edge on the cut. Third man is squarer though, and can't cut it off
2.5
4
Ramalingam Rohit to L Suryaprakash, FOUR, nicely picked up by Suryaprakash who looks to be in good touch. Too full from Rohit and once again, the emphasis is on just picking the spots without too much effort on the shot. Lofted clean over the bowler and down the ground to the fence
2.1
4
Ramalingam Rohit to L Suryaprakash, FOUR, impressive shot! Suryaprakash dishes out another back foot punch, hanging back to one that was short and wide, and timed it sweetly through the gap at point. Sublime!
1.5
4
J Kaushik to Anirudha, FOUR, easy pickings for Anirudha! Width on offer and although it isn't very short, he gets under it and slices comfortably over point

Ramalingam Rohit to L Suryaprakash, FOUR, finds the gap! It's a stacked off-side field in the ring but Suryaprakash manages to pierce it with a back foot cut. Played it late and got it through the gap at point
