Live score and updates, Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Capitals live from Chepauk Stadium: CSK 61/1 in 11 overs vs DC

20.48 IST: Sherfane Rutherford to Faf du Plessis, Great stop by Shikhar Dhawan. Short and outside off, du Plessis cuts it towards point where Dhawan does well to stop it with a dive to his left. The batsmen still pick up a single.

* Sherfane Rutherford into the attack now

20.43 IST: Mishra is in no mood to give free runs today as another excellent another from the experienced leggie as he gave only three runs from it. CSK 53/1 in 10 Overs

* Strategic time-out

20.35 IST: Chris Morris to Faf du Plessis, FOUR! On the pads and du Plessis is in no mood to feed another dot ball to the bowler and he glides the bowl down the fine leg for four.

20.33 IST: Chris Morris to Suresh Raina, FOUR! THRASH! It was a pure class from the Southpaw as he played it straight down the ground and the ball races away for the boundary.

* Chris Morris returns.

20.32 IST: Excellent over from the experienced Amit Mishra and he stopped the run flow that others were leaking in the past couple of overs. CSK 41/1 in 8 overs

* Amit Mishra to bowl now

20.28 IST: Jagadeesha Suchith to Suresh Raina, IN THE AIR... SAFE! Flirting with danger, is Suresh. Comes down the track, has a massive hoick, is nowhere near the pitch of the ball and gets a leading edge. The ball goes high in the air but luckily for the batsman, it evades Prithvi Shaw running back from point! Two runs taken.

20.27 IST: Jagadeesha Suchith to Suresh Raina, FOUR! CARESSED! Welcome into the attack, mate! Full and outside off, plenty of flight, Raina leans and drives it through the covers for a boundary!

20.25 IST: Axar Patel to Suresh Raina, FOUR! Off balance but gets runs! Full and fired down the leg side, Raina gets down to sweep, loses balance but manages to get it past short fine leg for another boundary!

20.24 IST: Axar Patel to Suresh Raina, FOUR! A rare boundary. Not that bad a ball, fractionally short in length, but that is enough for Raina. He picks it up in a trice, goes back and punches it between cover and point.

* Axar Patel into attack now

20.20 IST: Chris Morris to Suresh Raina, FOUR. Risky shot from Suresh Raina. Bowls it on a length and outside off, Raina looks to play away from the body but gets an outside edge. It goes towards third man for a boundary. 10 runs have come from the over. A much-needed over for Chennai.

20.17 IST: Chris Morris to Faf du Plessis, FOUR! On the pads and the South African skipper just guides the ball to the fine leg for the first boundary of the game

* Chris Morris to bowl now.

* Suresh Raina walks out to bat at number 3.

20.13 IST: Jagadeesha Suchith to Shane Watson, OUT! Straight to the man! There is only one man in the vast real estate on the leg side. And Watson has demonstrated excellent coaching skills with this catching practice drill. Short and outside off, Watto rocks back and pulls it away but the ball does not come on to the bat that well, nor does it bounce much. Hence, there is not much elevation either. It goes flat and straight to Axar Patel at deep mid-wicket who is waiting for it patiently. So the choke works. Chennai could not buy a run but Delhi have bought a wicket. CSK 4/1 in 3.2 Overs

20.08 IST: Trent Boult to Faf du Plessis, Full on leg, du Plessis drives it to mid on. Watson is hesitant towards the single but eventually goes for it. The fielder goes for a direct hit at the keeper's end but misses it. The batsmen take a run.

20.06 IST: Another good over Delhi Capitals. Suchith bowled a tight length to CSK openers and gave just one run. CSK 2/0 after 2 Overs

* Jagadeesha Suchith to bowl his first over for Delhi Capitals

20.03 IST: Excellent first over from Trent Boult, he is bowling with lots of guts to the veteran opening pair and gave only a single run.

20.01 IST: Boult to Faf, A hint of swing for the Kiwi pacer from the very first bowl and Du Plessis leaves it for the wicketkeeper.

20.00 IST: Trent Boult to start the proceedings with the ball.

19.59 IST: Chennai Super Kings openers- Shane Watson and Faf du Plessis are out on the field.

19.45 IST: Chennai skipper, MS Dhoni feels that there is chance of less dew tonight as there is a lot of cloud cover. Mentions that they were looking to bat first anyway.

19.42 IST: Delhi skipper, Shreyas Iyer hopes for dew in the second innings. He states that they have 3 spinners and the wicket is dry right now so they would like to make best use of it. Informs us that they have two changes in their team with Trent Boult and Jagadeesha Sucith coming in for Kagiso Rabada and Ishant Sharma.
