CSK 26/0 after 2 overs
0 1 Wd 0 6 0 4 - Robin Uthappa is certainly up and running. He is middling the ball to perfection at the moment. Uthappa produced a couple of cracking hits in the deep square-leg region off Dushmantha Chameera's first over. The first one sailed over the fence and then the last ball of the over got to the boundary rope on a couple of bounces. 12 runs came off Chameera's first over. Bowling change for Lucknow now as Andrew Tye replaces Avesh Khan.
