- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.5 holes out at deep midwicket. This was coming from QDK, he hasn't been able to find too many boundaries. He steps down leg side, Mujeeb follows him with a slow-ish length ball that spins into him. He can't get a lot of distance on the slog 98/36.3 hauled straight to deep midwicket! Length ball outside off at 121kph, there for the slog. Clears the front leg and looks to send this into the stands. It was in the slot but he's missed out on connection, comes off the low inside part of the bat 55/18.3 chipped straight back to the bowler. That stops on him as he settled behind it and force it to long-off. It was a length bat at off stump and didn't slide on the way he wanted to. Shankar gets it about thigh height to his right and he takes it gratefully 71/216.5 taken down leg side. Kishan's misery ends. Just didn't get going today. A carrom ball, short of a length and sliding down leg side. Kishan gets on a knee and looks to swing that behind square. Gets a thin edge, or a glove on that, and Bairstow does brilliantly to grab that down leg to his right 114/418.4 taken running in from sweeper. This is a smart grab. Another slower ball, cutting away from the right-hander outside off. Pandya looks to force that straight off the back foot and ends up slicing it. Virat Singh the debutant keeps his eyes on it and calls so that extra cover running backwards gets out of his way. Tracks it nicely and completes the catch with his balance intact 131/5Extras11 (lb 6, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL150/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.5)Fall of wickets: 1-55 (Rohit Sharma, 6.3 ov), 2-71 (Suryakumar Yadav, 8.3 ov), 3-98 (Quinton de Kock, 13.5 ov), 4-114 (Ishan Kishan, 16.5 ov), 5-131 (Hardik Pandya, 18.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.3 oh they might have Warner run-out here! Yup, by a long way. It's a slower ball, dropped in front of point with soft hands. Calls for a run that is not there. Hardik is quick onto the ball and tears the stumps down at the striker's end. Is this the beginning of a collapse? 90/37.2 he's stepped onto his stumps! Oh boy, what a way to go when you're striking them this well. He wants to ramp him fine, so he gets hurriedly into the crease at this length ball at middle stump. His back leg has landed onto the base of the stumps and that is the end of a whirlwind inningds 67/18.6 drills it straight to long-off! This is probably criticism from the last game playing on this mind. Chahar gets him the way he got Gill the other night - with a dipping length ball that just drifts in towards the body, late in its trajectory. Messes with the flow for the straight six, suddenly there's no room and he can only dig it out to the safest hands on the pitch 71/214.1 lofted it straight to long-off! He's lost his shape. It's a googly, short of a length outside off. Shapes to blaze that through cover off the back foot, but he's going too hard as that stick in the pitch and it's a lofted cut straight to the fielder 102/418.5 no, he's decided to try and pick up the boundary and sliced it straight up for long-off. This is the end of this chase, barring a serious miracle. Full slower ball outside off, reaching out in front of his body once again, trying to loft it straight. Just no control at all. Bumrah's bowled something like 9 consecutive slower balls and they've had no answers 134/814.5 taken at deep backward square! Oh boy, the wheels are coming right off. Chahar is doing the job for Mumbai again. Length ball at middle stump, brings out the slog sweep and gets no power on it. Milne stretches two hands to his right and ends up grabbing it with only one - ball caught hand, as they say, but he'd done the work to get under that 104/517.4 got him! Hardik Pandya has nailed another direct hit. This time at the non-strikers end. Yorker length ball outside off, jams it to extra cover's right and is deep in the crease when he does it. Has to gather his bearings as he takes off. Hardik swoops down one with his right hand and hits it stumps on the half-volley. Don't think Samad would have had a chance even if he'd had any momentum at the start of the run 129/617.6 he's been given lbw and he reviews. It's a searing yorker that's caught him dead in front of middle and off. But did it catch the toe of the bat or his actual toe? Looks like the latter...right toe. Nothing on Ultra Edge as that passes the bat and tracking will confirm that this is plumb. Brilliant, brilliant yorker from Boult. The option to play Bumrah out has been snatched by the two wickets he's taken in this over 130/719.1 tonks off stump! 139kph, dead-on yorker starting at middle and curving away. Bhuvi looks to club across the line but that is long past his attempt 135/919.4 splits middle and off and Mumbai Indians have done it yet again. Yorker nailed once again and Mujeeb's attempted chop is futile. Boult finishes with three wickets 137/10Extras5 (lb 3, w 2)TOTAL137 all out (19.4 Overs, RR: 6.96)Fall of wickets: 1-67 (Jonny Bairstow, 7.2 ov), 2-71 (Manish Pandey, 8.6 ov), 3-90 (David Warner, 11.3 ov), 4-102 (Virat Singh, 14.1 ov), 5-104 (Abhishek Sharma, 14.5 ov), 6-129 (Abdul Samad, 17.4 ov), 7-130 (Rashid Khan, 17.6 ov), 8-134 (Vijay Shankar, 18.5 ov), 9-135 (Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 19.1 ov), 10-137 (Khaleel Ahmed, 19.4 ov)
