CSK vs GT, IPL Qualifier 1 Highlights: Chennai through to their 10th final, beat Titans by 15 runs

Golden duck for Nalkande. He drilled it to mid off a bit too hard and set off, substitute fielder Senapati nails the direct hit.

Sensational work from Gaikwad. He comes running in from deep midwicket, dives forward and takes the catch close to the ground. Umpires send it upstairs but Gaikwad has no doubts about that, third umpire confirms that Shankar is out.

Shankar c Gaikwad b Pathirana 14 (10), GT 136/7 in 17.3 overs

He has raced tom 25 off 10. Knee-high full toss, Rashid swings away, big outside edge and it lands in front of Theekshana at short third and bursts past him.

Now GT need 43 to win off 20. Rashid Khan swats the fourth ball of the 17th over long off.

Deshpande sent the first ball of the 17th wide and when he bowled it again, Shankar sent it right over the bowler's head for a six. GT need 51 to win off 22.

GT now need 58 to win off 24 balls. Rashid paddles the last ball of the 16th bowled by Pathirana past MSD. Well the target is not exactly out of reach for GT but it has to be these two and no one else.

Play has been held up for at least 4 minutes as Dhoni and a few other CSK players talk to the umpires about goodness knows what. It seems to be about Pathirana coming in to bowl the next over and he was off the field for quite a while. It is quite unclear what happened there but after nearly 5 minutes of discussions, Pathirana does bowl. GT 102/6 in 15 overs

No Tewatia magic today for GT. All their big guns have fallen and it is only Vijay Shankar remaining, unless Rashid Khan can play an innings of a lifetime here. Tewatia trying to guide it down the leg side, 103kph delivery fizzes past him to the stumps.

Tewatia b Theekshana 3 (5), GT 98/6 (14.3 Ov)

Short slower delivery ball first up in the 14th over from Chahar, Gill goes for the pull but is just too early on the shot! Conway at deep square leg runs around to grab that catch.

Gill c Conway b Chahar 42 (38), GT 89/5 in 13.2 overs

Well it is starting to look more and more like GT would have to play the second Qualifier.

Miller b Jadeja 4 (6), GT 88/4 in 13 overs

Reverse sweep straight into the hands of short third. A couple of dot balls in that over is what forced Shanaka to go for that shot, his Sri Lanka teammate Theekshana does well to hold on to that catch. The partnership ends on 31 off 28, just as it was starting to look dangerous.

Shanaka c Theekshana b Jadeja 17 (16), GT 72/3 in 10.3 overs

Off the very next ball. "No, no!" shouts Dhoni as the ball floats away over long off. Shanaka played that one inside out.

Second ball of the 10th bowled by Theekshana to his Sri Lanka teammate, the batter hits it just beyond deep midwicket's reach.

It's a game of chess at the moment between CSK's spinners and Gill. Dasun Shanaka at the other end has faced eight balls for six runs, Gill is on 32 off 28. He sweeps the last ball of the 9th over to the boundary to push his strike rate back past 100.

The fourth ball of that over ripped off a length outside off and turns away from Gill sharply. The batter pulls out of the shot seeing that.

Good length around off, turns away and Gill cuts it and gets it past point.

Theekshana with a length delivery just outside off. Pandya miscues the cut and Jadeja holds on at point. Two wickets in the powerplay for CSK.

Pandya c Jadeja b Theekshana 8 (7), 41/2 (5.5 overs)

Gill looking ominously composed and well set from CSK's point of view. He is on 19 off 15, Pandya on seven off four.

"Smoothman Gill," says Sunil Gavaskar in the commentary box. Full from Deshpande for the fifth of the fourth and Gill gets forward and just flicks it past midwicket. As perfect as it gets in every way.

And there is the breakthrough. Saha goes for a big pull off this good length delivery, ends up sending behind square instead of front and Pathirana takes the easy catch at deep square leg.

Saha c Pathirana b Chahar 12 (11), GT 22/1 in 3 overs

Not the best of lines from Chahar, Gill flicks it with some sumptuous wrist work and sends it over fine leg.

Saha hits through the same area but it is well over Chahar this time. He gets to 7 off 8, Gill on 2 off 4.

Full ball outside off from Deshpande for the fifth of the second over. Gill with a checked on-drive and it flies to the right of the mid-off fielder. Chahar puts in the dive but the ball doesn't stick in his hands. Very difficult chance there and Chahar has made a good fielding effort more than anything else.

What a first over from Chahar, Saha on 2 off 4, Gill on 1 off 2 at the end of it.

Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill, on a hat-trick of 100s, walk in for GT. Deepak Chahar opens the bowling for CSK. CSK have replaced Shivam Dube with Matheesha Patheerana

So, CSK scored 172/7 in 20 overs. Gaikwad was the highest scorer with 60 off 44 while Conway had the second most runs, although it was more harmful than anything else with 40 off 34. Shami took 2/28, Mohit took 2/31.

Shami cleans up Jadeja off the last ball of the innings. He falls for 22 off 16. Those blows from Jadeja, Moeen, Rayudu and Rahane have pushed CSK to what does look like a par score. CSK have scored 47 runs in the last five overs for the loss of four wickets. Now let's see how they keep the chasing machine that is GT at bay. 

Shami bowling the last over, his first delivery was hit for four by Jadeja and now the third is sent over deep mid-wicket by Moeen. CSK are 168/6 with three balls to go in the last over...

And the noise falls off a cliff. Dhoni looking to go over extra cover, ends up finding the fielder there. 

Dhoni c Pandya b Sharma 1 (2), CSK 155/6 in 18.5 overs

Jadeja makes room and slashes Mohit over point off the third ball of the 19th over. CSK move to 154...

And just like Rahane he holes out in the deep off the very next ball. Rashid gets the wicket with the googly. But then the home crowd is beyond themselves, they are screaming, they are shouting. Because this now means that MS Dhoni comes in to bat for possibly the last time at the Chepauk. 

Rayudu c Shanaka b Rashid Khan 17 (9), 149/5 in 18 overs

Rayudu pulls Rashid over midwicket for a six, almost exactly the way Rahane had.

A rather tight run taken off the last ball of the over that has gone for just six runs. Rayudu is on 6 off 3 and Jadeja is on 4 off 3. GT really putting the squeeze on here.

Conway holes out at midwicket off the first ball of the 16th for which Shami is brought back. Not his best innings by a mile and the wicket might just be something of an opportunity for CSK.

Conway c Rashid Khan b Mohammed Shami 40 (34), CSK 125/4 in 15.1 overs

Right after he hits a rare six and it is Nalkande who snaffles the wicket. Rahane spoons it to backward point and this time, no no ball.

It has been 22 balls since the last four and so CSK need to get a move on here as quickly as possible. Conway still dragging his feet on 31 off 28 and Rahane is on four off four. Rashid Khan comes in for the 14th and it is just not getting any easier from here on for CSK.

Noor Ahmad knocks Shivam Dube over! Googlie at a fullish length, Dube trying to hit out and misses it completely. GT clawing their way into the match now.

Dube b Noor Ahmad 1 (3) CSK 91/2 in 11.3 overs

Top edge and Miller takes the catch at long on. Gaikwad falls at last. Mohit Sharma gets the breakthrough

Gaikwad c Miller b Sharma 60 (44), CSK 87/1 in 10.3 overs

It is a mistimed shot but it's a four nonetheless. Can that be the shot that gets Conway away. He has pretty much been the sleeping partner in this partnership so far. Second ball of the 10th bowled by Noor Ahmad and Conway mistimes the inside out shot. It goes over backward point.
