Unless Punjab make a good comeback in the last four overs, CSK look set another 200-plus total.
Chahar checks CSK's charge with the wicket of Moeen, who steps down quite early but is beaten by the sharp turning leg break as wicketkeeper Jitesh easily takes off the bails.
Moeen is dismissed stumped with CSK losing their third wicket.
Another left-hander strides out in the form of Ravindra Jadeja, who gets off the mark with two runs on the leg side and he picks one off the next.
Conway misses out on a short ball as he tries to play a pre-determined paddle scoop. He sweeps the next for a four through fine leg to bring up his 400 runs in IPL 2023 and the left-hander repeats the shot for another four off the last ball, to take his score into the 80s.
Arshdeep comes back, to bowl his fourth and final over. Jadeja flicks the first ball off his pads for two runs and picks another two runs off the next as he drives the full delivery down the ground.
He flicks the fourth ball, a full toss, wide of long-on for two runs and comes down the track to hit the fifth ball to long-on for another run.
Conway looks to scoop the last ball but Arshdeep bowls the slower ball which the left-hander steers to short thirdman for one.
Just eight runs from the over as Arshdeep finishes with 1/37 in his four overs.
