8:46 AM IST OUT! RUN OUT! The dangerous KL Rahul is out of here courtesy of a fabulous piece of fielding from Ravindra Jadeja.

The ball hits his pad and there is an appeal from Chennai players. The batters meanwhile try to take a leg bye. The ball rolls towards cover-point. Jadeja is not interested in paying attention to the appeal. He sets his eyes on the ball and charges towards it. Picks it up, and, with a bullet throw scores a direct hit at the keeper's end. Rahul is quick but Jadeja is like a cheetah on the field. Replay rolls in and it shows KL Rahul to be short of his crease. Both openers back in the dugout, this is a fabulous start for Chennai. Punjab are off to a nightmare!

5:33 PM IST Hardly anything to say about Punjab's bowling. They hardly had anything to bowl and defending 106 in Mumbai was never going to be very realistic. Richardson and Meredith impressed. Shami was the pick of the lot finishing with 2/21 in his 4. Murugan Ashwin and Arshdeep got one each but there just wasn't enough runs to play with.
