17.4 - P Kumar to Pollard, FOUR, Praveen is in disbelief. A low full toss on middle and leg, Pollard was early into the flick, closes the bat face and the leading edge balloons over cover-point, no one in the deep to stop the boundary

16.1 - Bhuvneshwar to Pollard, FOUR, top shot! It looked like a mistimed shot from Pollard. On a length just outside off, Pollard drives it past the diving extra cover fielder, the power of the man beats the fielder at sweeper cover as well

16.0 - Steyn to Rayudu, FOUR, another short delivery and this time Rayudu is not holding back, he goes for the pull and gets a top-edge, the ball flies over the keeper's head and almost travels the distance. Steyn bowls out, his figures: 4-0-38-2

13.0 - Steyn to Pollard, FOUR, fine shot! Steyn follows the short ball with a yorker, but gets the line wrong, bowls it on the pads, Pollard glances it fine and beats the man at 45. Steyn's pace took it to the fence with ease

12.2 - Steyn to Simmons, FOUR, Simmons registers his 5th T20 League fifty. Gets to the milestone which a cracking shot. Backs away to the leg-side and drills the length delivery to the right of mid-off, the ball travelled to the fence in no time

12.1 - Steyn to Simmons, FOUR, that was almost taken. Full delivery in the slot, Simmons gets his front leg out of the way and lofts it towards long-on, Boult moves to his left, dives full length and gets both hands, but couldn't hang onto it. That would have been a stunner

11.2 - Karn Sharma to Rohit, FOUR, cracking shot! Karn drops it short and outside off, Rohit waits for it, goes deep in the crease and cuts it to deep backward point, no chance for the sweeper cover to stop that

8.3 - P Kumar to Rohit, FOUR, short of length delivery on off and middle stump line, Rohit waits for it and helps it to the deep backward square leg fence. At Praveen's pace, that was a freebie. Fine leg runs to his left but the ball beats him to the fence

7.4 - Karn Sharma to Simmons, FOUR, edged and four! That would have carried to the slip fielder if he was there in place. For now, Karn gives this one more air outside off, Simmons looks to drive and gets a thick outside edge that runs away to the left of short third man and crashes into the fence

5.5 - Steyn to Chand, FOUR, brilliant shot to get off the mark, it was bowled on a length and swinging away just outside off, Chand leans forward and gently pushes at it. It was bowled at 146.1kph and the pace on the ball takes it to the left of mid-off and the ball runs away to the fence in no time

5.3 - Steyn to Parthiv Patel, FOUR, short of length delivery on middle and leg, Parthiv goes deep in the crease and pulls it to the right of short fine leg, the ball hurries across the turf and crashes into the fence

4.4 - Bhuvneshwar to Parthiv Patel, FOUR, length delivery outside off, Parthiv goes across and whips it hard, he didn't time it that well and the ball went to the left of mid-on, where Warner dives and gets a hand on it. However, it wasn't enough to stop the ball from reaching the fence and Parthiv collects four

3.4 - Steyn to Simmons, FOUR, that's very well played by Simmons, it was on a length and outside off, Simmons opens the face of the bat and gently guides it to the right of first slip, third man was squarer and the ball runs away to the fence

1.4 - Bhuvneshwar to Parthiv Patel, FOUR, great use of the wrists there from Parthiv, it was full and on the stumps, Parthiv goes sliglty across and flicks it over mid-wicket and collects four

0.5 - Boult to Simmons, FOUR, Simmons is looking in great touch here, it was full and swinging in on the pads, Simmons clips it through square leg and the ball runs away to the fence in a jiffy

0.3 - Boult to Simmons, FOUR, full and shaping in on middle and leg, Simmons clips it past a diving mid-wicket and the ball runs away to the fence in no time

17.5 - P Kumar to Pollard, SIX, that was put away with ease. It was a full toss on the pads, Pollard leans forward and flicks it over mid-wicket, the strength of Pollard takes it over the rope. MUM need plenty more of these

This is excellent stuff from the bowler, another off-speed delivery, it was outside off, Vinay goes for the cut, the outside edge goes to the right of the keeper, Ojha dives full length and plucks it out with one hand. Vinay c N Ojha b Bhuvneshwar 0(1)

19.1 - Bhuvneshwar to Pollard, out Bowled!! Knocked him over! Great start to the final over of the innings. Pollard could have caused damage, if he had stayed there. The slower delivery from Bhuvi, it was the leg-cutter, Pollard was early into the shot, missed it completely and the ball hits the top of leg-stump. This wicket can make a difference of 10 runs in the final total. Pollard b Bhuvneshwar 33(24) [4s-3 6s-1]

17.3 - P Kumar to Harbhajan, out Caught by Bhuvneshwar!! Another batsman holes out in the deep. MUM losing wickets in pursuit of quick runs.

Harbhajan c Bhuvneshwar b P Kumar 0(4)

16.4 - Bhuvneshwar to Rayudu, out Caught by Boult!! Rayudu holes out and MUM slip further. It was a nice juicy full toss from Bhuvi, Rayudu could have hit it anywhere, but he smacks it straight to long-on, Boult tracks back a bit, jumps in the air and takes it over his head. That was a well judged catch from the Kiwi. HYD picking wickets at regular intervals. Rayudu c Boult b Bhuvneshwar 7(7) [4s-1]

With just over 6 overs to go, that is a big scalp for HYD. Rohit c Bhuvneshwar b Karn Sharma 24(15) [4s-2 6s-1]

12.3 - Steyn to Simmons, out Bowled!! Steyn gets his man. Simmons throws it away after reaching his fifty, but he has done his job and that is to set a platform for the final onslaught. It was a back of a length delivery, Simmons moves away and goes for a wild slog towards cow corner, misses and the ball crashes into middle-stump. He is disappointed and he wanted to smack the stumps with his bat. Simmons b Steyn 51(42) [4s-6 6s-1]

7.0 - P Kumar to Chand, out Caught by Dhawan!! Chand bites the dust now and PK is jubilant after taking the wicket.

It was a short of length delivery on the stumps, Parthiv tries to play the pick-up shot once again and he connected well this time around. There was however protection in the deep at backward square leg, who takes a well judged catch in the end. He walks back disappointed and Steyn has his arms up in joy. Parthiv Patel c Vihari b Steyn 17(17) [4s-3]

15.2 - Steyn to Rayudu, 1 run, direct-hit would have had Pollard in trouble. Good length delivery around off, Rayudu backs away and drops it in front of backward point, Dhawan runs forward, collects the ball and fires a throw at the striker's end, he missed and Pollard made it in

2.3 - Boult to Simmons, 1 run, short of length delivery angled across off, Simmons drops it in front of cover-point and sets off, the fielder runs to his left and fires in the throw at the striker's end.

19.4 - Vinay to Bhuvneshwar, FOUR, fantastic shot! It was the slower one that was short in length, Bhuvneshwar stands tall and lofts it over extra cover, he generated enough power on the shot to pick up four

17.0 - Malinga to Vihari, FOUR, excellent shot! That is a terrific shot under pressure. Malinga misses the yorker by a couple of inches and he has been put away, Vihari shuffles across the stumps and flicks it behind square leg, the timing on that takes it to the fence

16.0 - Vinay to Vihari, FOUR, edged and four! A good over for HYD. Those two boundaries helped them to keep up with the asking rate, full and outside off, Vihari goes hard and the outside edge runs down to the third man fence

15.4 - Vinay to Vihari, FOUR, a much needed boundary for HYD. Vinay bowls it short and around off, not much pace on that delivery, Vihari rocks back and pulls it in front of square, splits the two fielders in the deep to perfection

It goes on the bounce and hits the ad cushions

5.1 - McClenaghan to Dhawan, FOUR, that's nicely played by Dhawan, back of a length and just outside off, Dhawan waits on it, opens the face of the bat at the last moment and runs it past the lone slip, third man is very square and the ball races away to the fence

4.4 - Malinga to Dhawan, FOUR, Dhawan is looking in terrific touch, fraction fuller and just outside off, Dhawan presents the full face of the bat and drives it past mid-off. Vinay gives the chase, slides and drags the ball back in, but it rolls back and hits the ad cushions

3.0 - Malinga to Warner, FOUR, that's a gift from Malinga, goes for the wide yorker and ends up offering a full toss, Warner reaches out and drills it past cover-point, no need to run for those

1.5 - McClenaghan to Dhawan, FOUR, nicely played by Dhawan, tad fuller and in that corridor outside off, Dhawan leans forward, presents the full face of the bat and drives it past mid-off for a boundary, McClenaghan takes a tumble on his followthrough and is on all fours

0.1 - Harbhajan to Dhawan, FOUR, lovely shot, this was tossed up and well outside off, Dhawan gets a big stride forward and drives it sweetly through extra cover. Pollard runs across a long way from long-off, puts in the dive, but can't haul it back in

12.2 - Jagadeesha Suchith to Rahul, SIX, just over the rope. Flighted delivery on off and middle, Rahul goes down on one knee and slog sweeps it to deep mid-wicket, he didn't middle it but had enough to get it over the leaping Vinay Kumar

3.5 - Harbhajan to Dhawan, SIX, Dhawan has taken a liking to Harbhajan, this was floated and just outside off, Dhawan goes down on his knees and sweeps it high and over square leg, goes all the way and over the ropes for a maximum

18.4 - Malinga to Steyn, out Caught by Pollard!! HYD falling apart like a pack of cards. Malinga is on a hat-trick. His third in the over, fourth overall. Another slower delivery, Steyn backs away and mistimes the loft, the ball skies over the bowler's head, Pollard calls for it from long-on and takes it with his bucket hands. Steyn c Pollard b Malinga 0(1)

18.3 - Malinga to P Kumar, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Malinga exults and the Wankhede erupts.

Third wicket for McClenaghan and he has been very impressive today. Bopara c (sub)Pandya b McClenaghan 23(27) [4s-1]

14.5 - McClenaghan to Rahul, out Caught by Rayudu!! Rahul's dodgy innings comes to an end. McClenaghan has his hands aloft. Rahul is unhappy with himself as he smacks his bat onto his pad.

Rahul c Rayudu b McClenaghan 25(27) [6s-1]

8.4 - Jagadeesha Suchith to N Ojha, out Caught by Pollard!! Suchith strikes for MUM! Ojha was looking to up the tempo, comes down the track, Suchith held this one back slightly.

N Ojha c Pollard b Jagadeesha Suchith 9(9)

6.0 - McClenaghan to Dhawan, out Caught by Malinga!! That's a big wicket, Dhawan was batting like a dream, his innings has been cut short.

5.0 - Malinga to Warner, out Caught by Rayudu!! Catching practice for Rayudu! MUM needed this wicket badly. This was short and just outside off, Warner was looking to help it on its way, hits it off the middle of the bat, doesn't get the placement right. Rayudu didn't need to move an inch at third man, takes the catch gleefully, HYD have lost their first wicket. Malinga gives a send-off to the departing batsman, first time I have ever seen him giving a send-off. Warner c Rayudu b Malinga 9(7) [4s-2]

16.4 - Malinga to Bopara, 1 run, full and outside off, Bopara drives to extra cover and takes off immediately, Rohit fires a throw at the bowler's end, misses and Bopara would have been a goner. He is disappointed with himself as he hits the ground hard with his hands
