14:20 Local Time, 08:50 GMT, 14:20 IST: Chennai Super Kings are on a winning run, but they can't afford to relax. As the league phase reaches its climax, the fight for a top-4 slot is becoming more intense. No team is safe at the moment and any late surge cannot be ruled out. We are back in Chepauk and a red soil pitch awaits the Lucknow Super Giants. The visitors ended their own 6-match losing streak by beating the Royal Challengers in a thrilling contest and must be pleased at playing on a pitch which could help their already potent pace attack. While CSK are in the midst of a muddled mid-table group, the Super Giants are already in a must-win scenario. Will the fact that they have nothing to lose make them more dangerous? Pre-match stuff and the toss coming up shortly..

Pitch report - Raman & Eoin Morgan: We are here at Chepauk to host this exciting clash. Regarding the ground dimensions, the longest boundary is straight down the ground at 70 meters in the ‘V.’ As you move toward the squares, it tapers down to the mid-60s, while behind square, it's roughly 61 meters.

To look closer at the surface, I’m joined by England’s World Cup-winning captain, Eoin Morgan. Eoin, what are your views on this pitch? Good afternoon, Raman. It’s an interesting surface. We’ve seen three games here in a short span over the last few months, two during the World Cup and one in this year's IPL. That IPL fixture featured an absolutely beautiful hundred from Sanju Samson; notably, it was a day-night game. However, we’ve had a couple of rainy days recently. If anything, that rain emphasizes the importance of bowling discipline. You will get punished if you stray from a good line and length. Here at Chepauk, you really have to target the stumps and nothing too wide, just a touch straighter.

The tricky part for captains will be the toss. Gujarat Titans (GT) played the only day game here so far and chose to bat despite the rain around, which raises some questions. What do you think the impact of covering the pitch will be? Personally, I don't think it will change much. It is 'rock-and-roll' hot out here today, so any trapped moisture should evaporate quickly. It looks like a great surface to play on. The word is it’s going to be a strong batting track, and historically, the team batting first has tended to have the better of the exchanges.
