Left-arm wrist spinner Noor Ahmad, CSK's best bowler in IPL 2025, comes into the attack.
He starts with a wide outside the off-stump to Marsh, who is beaten off the next two balls as Noor keeps it away from the stumps.
Marsh pulls the third ball to deep square leg for one and Pant clips the fourth ball with soft hands to square leg for another run. He had wanted the second run as Dhoni ran after the ball but Marsh sent him back.
Marsh pulls the fifth ball for a single to deep midwicket and Pant keeps strike with one from the last ball.
Tidy start from Noor as he concedes just five runs in his opening over.
Pant and Marsh have added 45 from 30 balls to get LSG back on track.
