9.20pm What an exhibition that was. There were cameos from Rohit, Kishan and Vishnu Vinod, but on any other day, a Rashid Khan four-for might have restricted Mumbai to below 200. Tough luck to Titans that they had Suryakumar Yadav to bowl to, Suryakumar Yadav in utterly bewitching form. "That's how he plays in this format, and that's what he's known for," Rashid Khan tells the broadcaster. "Unbelievable."

On his bowling, he says: "In this stadium, it's all about length. If you lose your length, it becomes very easy for the batsman to clear the boundary. For me the main thing was the length, and mix [the pace] up. There was a bit of dew, and in the last over I found it difficult to grip the ball."

Titans need 219 to win, and it's a tough ask anywhere, but they might have a chance here with the dew and short boundaries and a not particularly vintage Mumbai attack.

Shashank will be here soon to bring you the chase, don't go anywhere.

Meanwhile, here's something to read between innings. Daya Sagar profiles Nehal Wadhera, the young Punjab batter who's lighting it up for Mumbai Indians.

19.6

Joseph to Yadav, SIX, first T20 hundred for Suryakumar Yadav, and it was always a question of when rather than if. Gets there in trademark fashion too. Full, aiming for the wide yorker, but maybe not wide or full enough for it. Steps across and gets down on his back knee, in a flash, to sweep it up and over the backward square leg boundary. What an innings, 49 balls of T20 genius

Joseph to Yadav, 2 runs, Steps across to whip this low full-toss from outside off stump, and the square leg fielder dives to his right and gets a hand to the ball to stop the ball from running away for four. Only a half-stop, though, and SKY runs a second to get back on strike
19.4
6
Joseph to Yadav, SIX, moves to 95! Misses the length on the wide yorker, and this time ends up bowling in the slot. Frees his arms and flat-bats it straight of mid-off and high, and easily clears the boundary
19.3

Joseph to Yadav, no run, he can, of course, but Joseph has made it difficult. A quick, wide full-toss. Attempted the wide yorker and missed his length, but SKY, looking to make room to slash it away, can't put bat to ball

Can SKY get to his hundred?

19.2
2
Joseph to Yadav, 2 runs, looks for the wide yorker, and gets his line right even if it isn't quite full enough to be a yorker. Reaches out and swipes it to the right of long-on, off the inside half of the bat
19.1
1
Joseph to Green, 1 run, excellent wide yorker, but he can't keep Green at the striker's end. Looks to make room and stab it square on the off side, only manages to jam the ball down into the pitch, and it rolls away a couple of yards into the off side. Far enough away from the bowler to sneak a single, though, and the crowd roars its approval

Thirty-seven off the last two overs. How will Joseph close this out?

18.6

Mohammed Shami to Yadav, FOUR, four more. Looks to go hard length and angle into leg stump to try and cramp SKY for room. He steps across his stumps, though, and gets enough bat on this swipe - the ball hit the bat sticker - to beat fine leg diving to his right
18.5
1
Mohammed Shami to Green, 1 run, full-toss on off stump, and Green punches it down to long-off and brings SKY back on strike
18.4
1lb
Mohammed Shami to Yadav, 1 leg bye, off the thigh pad. Steps across to try and access the fine leg region, and misses a swipe off a back of a length ball, angling down leg. Rolls down to the right of deep fine
18.3
4
Mohammed Shami to Yadav, FOUR, and now he goes conventional, almost. Full, angling in towards off stump, and he leans back to sink to his back knee, and lofts it over extra-cover, gets it into the gap between deep cover point and long-off
18.2
6
Mohammed Shami to Yadav, SIX, and that's why you don't want SKY on strike. I don't have a name for this shot. Fullish, angling in towards offstump, and SKY steps away to the leg side to create room, to play what starts off as a lofted off-drive, except he uses his wrists to slice underneath the ball and hit it over short third. Over short third. For six
18.1
1
Mohammed Shami to Green, 1 run, back of a length, angling in towards off stump, cramping Green on the pull, played all along the ground to deep midwicket for a single. Usually the outcome every bowler wants in T20, but not when it brings SKY on strike

Shami comes on for the 19th.

17.6
4
Sharma to Yadav, FOUR, slower ball, angling in to out and finishing outside the wide tramline, but SKY doesn't want wides, he wants boundaries. Goes back and a long way across, and plays an otherwise old-fashioned cut to beat deep backward point haring to his left
17.5
2
Sharma to Yadav, 2 runs, and now he goes over the covers. Slower ball outside off, not too wide, and he can't quite generate the power he needs to get it to the boundary. Bounces down to the right of Vijay Shankar sprinting to his right from deep backward point
17.4
6
Sharma to Yadav, SIX, you can angle it as far away to the off side as you want, but SKY can still hit you over square leg. Walks across, then stretches and sinks onto his back knee to sweep it, flat and powerful, and clear the boundary with a shot that would drop our jaws if we hadn't already seen it a hundred times
17.3
0
Sharma to Yadav, no run, slower ball wide of off stump, angling away again. Looks to reach out and slash, gets a thick outside edge that rolls to short third

Terrific start to the over from SKY. Mohit under a lot of pressure here. Backward point drops back, cover point comes into the circle.

17.2
4
Sharma to Yadav, FOUR, full-toss now, wide of off stump, and SKY brings his wrists into play to slice it up and over the leaping fielder at backward point
17.1
4
Sharma to Yadav, FOUR, tries that in-to-out angle again with the slower ball, but it's just within Surya's arc and he reaches out to flat-bat it over extra-cover

Mohit to bowl out, as Green walks to the non-striker's end.

W
Rashid Khan to David, OUT, four wickets, and what a fourth wicket! David goes early. Full legbreak on off stump, and David is out for the softest of dismissals. Was looking to work it to long-on, but the ball pitches shorter than he expects, and he ends up squaring up and slicing the ball back to the bowler at stomach height

TH David c & b Rashid Khan 5 (6m 3b 1x4 0x6) SR: 166.66

16.5
4
Rashid Khan to David, FOUR, and you can see why. Wrong'un pitched outside off, and David gets forward uncertainly to push to long-off. Turns less than he expects, and the thick edge runs away to the right of slip

Slip in for David.
