Marsh ends the over with a boundary to take 11 runs from the over. They need 54 from the last four overs.

Big blow for Punjab! The asking rate was climbing and mounting the pressure on the Kings XI skipper. He gets a six off the first ball but perishes off the second as he can’t clear Dwayne Bravo at long off. Bravo breaks into a dance, Hussey walks back. Is it curtains for KXIP?

Centurion No 3 of IPL 2013! Suresh Raina slams an unbeaten 100 to guide Chennai to 186/4 . Raina’s century comes off just 53 deliveries. This has been a splendid effort with the bat from the home side. MS Dhoni will be happy with the score on the board. Punjab, on the other hand, have an uphill task ahead of them.
CSK 174/3 | Overs 19 | S Raina 89*, Ravindra Jadeja 4* OUT! A Morkel 23 (16)

CSK 150/3 | Overs 17 | S Raina 75*, A Morkel 18*
Suresh Raina is displaying the kind of form that’s almost impossible to play against. Sathish has the ball to face the brunt.

Manpreet Gony endures a tough day as Suresh Raina hits two lovely identical sixes over long on. 16 runs come from the over. Ten overs ago, they were at 36 for one. 92 runs have come since then. Champion stuff from CSK, this.
CSK 116/3 | Overs 15 | S Raina 50*, A Morkel 9*
Suresh Raina brings up his half-century as the batsmen extract nine runs from the over. The wickets column should have read four instead of three as Albie Morkel played a slog sweep straight to Mandeep Singh at deep square leg. However, Mandeep failed to hold on to it and Morkel survives to die another day.
CSK 107/3 | Overs 14 | S Raina 43*, A Morkel 7*
The home side go past the triple figure-run mark. Raina is perfectly poised to take the home side to a decent total. The wicket is still very flat and nothing short of an absolute carnage should be on the cards. Eight runs come from the Awana over.
CSK 99/3 | Overs 13 | S Raina 40*, A Morkel 2* OUT! MS Dhoni 2 (2)
Massive, massive wicket for the Kings XI Punjab! MS Dhoni is gone! Rajagopal Sathish comes on to bowl and Dhoni plays it towards mid-wicket where there was no fielder. Sathish chased the ball and the batsmen decided to go for the second run. But Sathish’s throw at the striker’s end is good one and Gurkeerat Singh does well to uproot the stumps in a flash. Dhoni falls short of the crease. He goes for 2. But Raina is still undeterred. He slog sweeps Sathish towards the fine leg boundary.
CSK 91/2 | Overs 12 | S Raina 35*, MS Dhoni 1* OUT! Hussey 35 (29)
Piyush Chawla gets rid of the orange cap holder! Chawla bowls a quicker one and Hussey comes down the track but misses it completely.

But the crowds erupt as skipper MS Dhoni walked out.Raina continues his carnage as he hits his trademark shot over over deep mid-wicket for a six. Nine runs and a wicket from that over.
CSK 82/1 | Overs 11 | M Hussey 35*, S Raina 27*

CSK 69/1 | Overs 10 | M Hussey 23*, S Raina 26*

CSK 55/1 | Overs 9 | M Hussey 21*, S Raina 14*
The Kings XI Punjab are doing well to bowl their overs quickly here. Chawla gives away only six runs in his second over as the home side go past the 50-run mark.
CSK 49/1 | Overs 8 | M Hussey 16*, S Raina 13*
This is smart stuff from David Hussey. He quickly finishes his third over and has conceded just 17. CSK need to get a move on.
CSK 44/1 | Overs 7 | M Hussey 14*, S Raina 11*
Chennai take eight runs from the first over off Piyush Chawla. Hussey and Raina are slowly building the innings here. They take four singles and Raina lofts a poor delivery through wide long-off.
CSK 36/1 | Overs 6 | M Hussey 12*, S Raina 5*
Punjab have started well given the weather conditions and the flatness of the wicket. They have given away just 36 runs.
CSK 32/1 | Overs 5 | M Hussey 9*, S Raina 4*
Almost the second breakthrough! Suresh Raina, the new batsman hits the ball to Piyush Chawla at mid-on and takes a single. Chawla forces a direct hit and Raina dived in to complete the run. However, his bat was in the air and was saved by only his glove that was just in. David Hussey concedes just five runs in his second over.
CSK 27/1 | Overs 4 | M Hussey 4* OUT! W Saha 18 (18)
Parwinder Awana comes on and strikes! Saha perishes trying to clear the square leg boundary but hits it straight to Shaun Marsh. This came after Hussey welcomed Awana with a boundary..Five runs and a wicket from Awana’s first over.
CSK 22/0 | Overs 3 | M Hussey 4*, W Saha 18*
Saha welcomes Praveen Kumar with a six over square leg! That’s the first six of the match. Kumarpitches it short and Saha’s eyes lit up as there is no pace on the ball. Easy pickings for Saha. Kumar makes a good comeback with a beautiful slower one and almost deceives Saha into throwing his wicket away. However, too much width in the next ball helps Saha to score a boundary behind point. He follows it up with a hoick over the leg side to guide the ball to the deep square leg fielder for a couple. 12 runs from the over.
CSK 10/0 | Overs 2 | M Hussey 4*, Saha 6*
David Hussey brings himself on! The last time he bowled, he went for 27 runs in an over but he seems to have some plan in mind. He does well to give only seven runs away.
CSK 3/0 | Overs 1 | M Hussey 0*, Saha 3*
Good start by Praveen Kumar. He mixes it up very well. Wriddhiman Saha picks up a couple off the first and a single off the last ball of the first over.
The Chennai Super Kings are enjoying their time at the top of the table, having won their last six matches. The fight for the top four further intensified yesterday when the Sunrisers Hyderabad beat the Mumbai Indians. There are four teams on 12 points behind the league leaders Chennai, followed by the Kings XI Punjab at sixth spot with 10 points. Can the Punjab side joing the 12-pointers? Can they halt the Chennai juggernaut? We will have to wait and find out.
MS Dhoni won the toss and elected to bat first against the Kings XI Punjab at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on a hot sunny day.
Its the clash of the Husseys as Michael Hussey and David Hussey go up against each other for the second time in the tournament. Both have been crucial for their respective sides and it will be interesting to see if David can exact revenge. Eitherway, its all in the family.
