13:34 GMT: Start of play for the day
Hello and welcome to the 2nd match of the evening
Two-time champions Chennai Super Kings host high-flying Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Chepauk today
The Super Kings posted an impressive 10-wicket away win over Kings XI Punjab on Wednesday, chasing down 138 with nearly three overs to spare. Dwayne Bravo (3/27), Dirk Nannes (2/17) and Michael Hussey (86 not out from 54) were the stars of the night as CSK opened their account, after losing their season opener against Mumbai Indians
Bangalore, on the other hand, are at the top of the IPL table, with three wins out of four. RCB chased down 154 in quick time to beat defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders by eight wickets on Thursday. RP Singh (3/27) and Moises Henriques (2/24) impressed with the ball, while Chris Gayle (85 not out from 50) made light work of KKR's bowling attack, hitting nine sixes
The same fixture last season saw CSK winning by five wickets, after the Challengers posted a massive total of 205
