CSK 103-5 (14 ovs) vs Delhi 191-5 | Scorecard

Nortje back into the attack. Dube has a big swing first ball to one pitched full and away from the off-stump but misses before he miscues the next for one and Rahane misses the clip for a leg bye.

Dube manages to clip the yorker through midwicket for two runs before he smashes a wide half-volley through covers for a four.

The last ball is a quick bouncer (146kph) as Dube is hurried into the pull shot as he manages to get it on the leg side for a single as CSK get past 100, in the 13th over.

Mukesh Kumar is brought into the attack, to bowl the 14th over. He makes the breakthrough with the wicket of the well-set Rahane, who swings hard but miscues the slower ball to be caught at long-on after a good knock of 45 from 30 balls, with five fours and two sixes.

Mukesh strikes again next ball. New batter Sameer Rizvi gets a thick leading edge trying to hit over the leg side and Khaleel holds on to a sharp chance at short thirdman.

Mukesh on a hat-trick!

Jadeja avoids the hat-trick as he taps it on the leg side before he picks a single off the last ball.

Superb start for Mukesh with the ball as he takes two wickets for two runs.
