dropped! Harbhajan has lost the trajectory in the night sky and has ended up having to lunge backwards after getting under this at midwicket! A floated legbreak from Tahir, Russell looks for the slog sweep and top edges. He looks into the floor immediately - what have I done? - but he survives. Will that haunt CSK all ...

OUT
got him! Tahir sneaks through Gill with a googly. He falls over trying to flick without a big stride. It slips through between inside edge and leg, Dhoni picks it up and takes the bails off. It doesn't even need to be sent upstairs. It's going downhill FAST for KKR
