END OF OVER:
20 | 14 Runs 1 Wkt | MI: 192/5 | RR: 9.60

  • Cameron Green64 (40b)
  • T Natarajan4-0-50-1
  • Bhuvneshwar Kumar4-0-31-1

9.11pm Big finish for MI despite two excellent overs from Bhuvneshwar Kumar. The last six have produced 89 runs. This is not an easy pitch, and Green and Varma have given MI a big total to defend. A lot depends on the dew now. If they can manage the dew, this is a winning total. Tilak Varma, the local boy playing against the local team, says it is a good pitch for the bowlers so they will take 192. KP tells Varma he loved that wristy shot over extra cover, and Varma says it is his favourite too. He reports there is not much dew yet so they should get some grip on the pitch. Be back soon

Natarajan to Green, 1 run, OUT, nails the yorker, and I am glad to see them try a second even though they have hit it straight to deep midwicket. Doesn't make it, but I am perplexed why other batters don't try it

TH David run out 16 (19m 11b 2x4 0x6) SR: 145.45

Natarajan to David, 1 run, closer to getting the yorker right. Dug out to leg for one

Natarajan to David, FOUR, wide low full toss, and David again manipulates it. He breaks his back leg, gets low and drives it hard over point and fine of deep cover
19.3

Natarajan to Green, 3 runs, high full toss but not high enough to be called. Gets big on him, and he ends up slicing it over extra cover. The two tall men make it an easy three. The batters have reviewed it for a no-ball. More than anything, it catches them a breather after running those three. It is below waist so let's get on with it

Darshin: "Bhuvi is heavily underrated in death overs. Baring a few games, he's always on the dot."

Natarajan to David, FOUR, superb manipulation of the field. He shuffles across, and sweeps a low full toss from outside off to square leg for four

Kumar to Green, no run, Green is not expecting a bouncer. Bhuvi delivers just that. Delayed attempt to ramp it. Beaten. Bhuvi has bowled his two death overs for just 14 runs and the wicket of Varma. Sensational bowling

Kumar to Green, 1 run, think this is not a slower one. Cramps him up as he advances down the pitch. Just the single to deep midwicket

Here's Bhuvneshwar

Jay: "Tilak Verma is a real talent. He has to be on India's radar. Nearly 400 runs in his debut season behind only Ishan Kishan in top run getters for MI and taking it up a notch this season as the top scorer for his team. Left-handed as well which is unique among current contenders. "

Natarajan to Green, 1 run, low full toss, on leg stumps, Green takes the single to long-on and keeps the strike
17.5

Natarajan to Green, SIX, goes one better now. Wide length ball, stands tall, golf-swings it over long-off. Nailed it
17.4
4
Natarajan to Green, FOUR, the field changes with one extra man going deep on the off side. Green successfully anticipates it, and chips down the wicket to hit this wide full toss to deep point for four. That's his maiden IPL fifty
17.3
4
Natarajan to Green, FOUR, there are long-on and deep midwicket but he has managed to place this in between. Natarajan misses a yorker, bowls a half-volley. Flicked in the air and into the gap
17.2
4
Natarajan to Green, FOUR, smacked away. All power. Short of a length, outside off, Green stands tall, and comes down on it with brute force. Beats extra cover

Natarajan to David, 1 run, misses the yorker. Full toss hit straight to deep midwicket. Gets away with it

Natarajan to bowl 18 and 20

Kumar to David, 1 run, slower ball, full outside off, driven down to long-off

Kumar to David, no run, Markram is a livewire. Driven on the up, to the right of extra cover, and he dives full length to deny them a run
16.4
0
Kumar to David, no run, short of a length, no room, defended back to him

This brings together the five-off-last-over men. Tim David joins Green

16.3
W
Kumar to Tilak Varma, OUT, clever bowling from Bhevneshwar. A third knuckle ball in the over but this time he goes shorter. Varma is advancing at him but the angle takes the ball away, and he toe ends it to deep cover. A stunning cameo on a difficult pitch
