- BATSMENRB4s6sSR6.3 round the legs! This is genius! This is superb game awareness! He's seen the batsman going for funky shots. He's expecting the same again. And he's ready with the counter. A perfectly pitched googly. And de Kock is caught unawares. He tries the reverse sweep again but Chahal bowls it a few yards quicker and a tiny bit flatter. It pitches outside leg, hurries onto the batsman, piggybacks off the inside edge and crashes into his stumps 54/110.4 that's against the run of play and the crowd erupts! Clever bowling as Rohit shuffled across off stump, Umesh banged it hard into the surface and further away from Rohit's reach, which meant that he had to drag it across the line, got it high on the bat and spooned a high catch to long-on, who clung on comfortably 87/215.3 tossed up outside off, beautiful bowling, made Suryakumar really reach for it as he tried to go big, it got away from him and he ended up skying a catch to cover, who had to run back a little, but kept his eyes on the ball all the way through before pouching it safely 142/413.4 And Chahal has his revenge with the googly! Full on middle, perhaps held in the surface just a touch as Yuvraj went for the lofted stroke down the ground to make it four in four, only managing to slice it high in the air and straight to long-off 124/315.6 That's Chahal's fourth! Really poor batting from Pollard. It was Chahal's last ball, it was tossed up outside off, would have been a wide had a he left it, instead he takes the bait and tries to go over extra cover, not even usually his area and ends up spooning a catch to the deep fielder 145/516.3 short, hooked and brilliantly judged by Saini at fine-leg! Jumps, takes it calmly over his head and keeps his balance, ensuring that he remains inside the rope and Mumbai are losing their way here 146/617.1 dragged on! length outside off, pretty innocuous delivery, rush of blood and he has an ugly swing at it, only managing an inside edge as it crashes into the stumps 147/719.1 appeal for caught behind and given even as they try and scamper a single length outside off, cut him in half as he tried to steer it to point and thinnest inside edge was taken nice and low by the keeper 172/8Extras10 (b 4, lb 1, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL187/8 (20 Overs, RR: 9.35)Did not bat: SL MalingaFall of wickets: 1-54 (Quinton de Kock, 6.3 ov), 2-87 (Rohit Sharma, 10.4 ov), 3-124 (Yuvraj Singh, 13.4 ov), 4-142 (Suryakumar Yadav, 15.3 ov), 5-145 (Kieron Pollard, 15.6 ov), 6-146 (Krunal Pandya, 16.3 ov), 7-147 (Mitchell McClenaghan, 17.1 ov), 8-172 (Mayank Markande, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR6.5 chops on! Parthiv loves pace on the ball and here there is none. And he discovers that as he backs away and shapes to cut. He's into the shot too early. The googly then deflects off the inside edge and clatters into his sticks. 67/23.2 direct hit and Moeen's gone! There's a dive. It's desperate. But it's also very very late. There is no single here. Not when Rohit is lurking at midwicket. But Parthiv turns the slower ball, on a length on middle stump, there and demands the run. It starts with a bit of hesitation and it ends with Moeen miles short of safety 27/113.4 short ball, goes for the pull, gets it high on the bat and ends up splicing it to Hardik Pandya at midwicket. Was really done for pace there as he tried to pull it off the front foot 116/316.1 length on off, wild swing and Hetmyer gives Mumbai an opening by splicing it straight to Hardik Pandya at cover 147/418.3 length outside off, another slower ball, de Grandhomme is early into the shot, gets some elevation but no distance, and skies it straight to deep cover. Bumrah pulls it back Mumbai's way, but de Villiers will be on strike 169/5Extras5 (lb 2, w 3)TOTAL181/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.05)Fall of wickets: 1-27 (Moeen Ali, 3.2 ov), 2-67 (Parthiv Patel, 6.5 ov), 3-116 (Virat Kohli, 13.4 ov), 4-147 (Shimron Hetmyer, 16.1 ov), 5-169 (Colin de Grandhomme, 18.3 ov)
