19.2 - Pollard to Steyn, FOUR, these are handy runs. Lucky, but HYD won't mind. Slower delivery delivered behind the stumps, Steyn goes for a big hit, gets a thick edge and it flies past Parthiv, who was diving to his right

18.3 - Vinay to Steyn, FOUR, in the airrrrrr, but it goes past the MUM skipper. That should have been caught. Slower ball goes short, Steyn delays the back foot punch and hits it uppishly as well, Rohit jumps at cover, tries to take it with both hands above his head but it escapes. Big roar from the crowd as HYD reach 100

18.2 - Vinay to Steyn, FOUR, now that's in the gap and it's a much needed boundary for HYD. The back foot drive bisects mid-off and extra-cover to perfection. The length was short enough for Steyn to go back and employ that shot

8.4 - Pandya to Rahul, FOUR, lovely shot, Rahul shortened the length by stepping down the track, makes room for the drive and goes inside out over extra cover, one bounce and over the ropes for a boundary

7.1 - Jagadeesha Suchith to Rahul, FOUR, Rahul is on the attack against his statemate, jumps down the track, Suchith goes short and wide outside off, he reaches out and slaps it over backward point for a boundary

5.4 - McClenaghan to Henriques, FOUR, almost another! This would have been a sitter to second slip, but there was no one there. Short of a length and just outside off, rears onto Henriques after hitting the deck, he poked at that, gets a thick edge past Harbhajan at wide first slip, races away to the fence

4.3 - Vinay to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, too straight from Vinay, ends up drifting onto Morgan's pads, he looks to flick and gets it very fine, the ball races away to the fence

0.3 - Malinga to Warner, FOUR, poor ball from Malinga, bangs it short and on the stumps, Warner swivels across and pulls it behind square on the on-side, fine leg was very square and Warner gets going with a boundary

14.5 - Harbhajan to Ashish Reddy, SIX, he's connected that well and it's into the second tier. Flighted delivery just outside the off stump, Reddy gets down on one knee and slog-sweeps it hard for a maximum over deep mid-wicket

20.0 - Pollard to Steyn, out P Kumar Run Out!! 1 run completed. Fullish in length, Steyn toe-ends the slog, straight to deep mid-wicket, HYD try to steal two but Pandya got to the ball quickly. The throw was a little wide, but Pollard did well to collect and whip the bails off. PK wasn't swift enough while returning for the second. P Kumar run out (Pandya/Pollard) 4(6)

17.3 - Malinga to Karn Sharma, out Caught by Jagadeesha Suchith!! That's up in the air. Who wants it? Suchith takes an easy catch. Slower delivery outside off stump, Karn goes early into the drive, ends up scooping it high in the air, extra-cover back-pedals to complete the catch. Karn Sharma c Jagadeesha Suchith b Malinga 15(21)

16.3 - McClenaghan to Bhuvneshwar, out Caught by Pandya!! Bhuvneshwar doesn't want to disturb the scorers. Fullish and outside off stump, Bhuvneshwar backs away and slices the inside-out drive, the man at sweeper runs forward and swallows it easily. Third wicket for McClenaghan and he's been exceptional tonight. Bhuvneshwar c Pandya b McClenaghan 0(2)

15.4 - Pollard to Ashish Reddy, out Caught by Vinay!! Pollard gets a wicket in his very first over and he has his finger on the lips, probably asking the crowd to be silent. They are checking for the no-ball. Oh dear! Is that on the line? Looks like it is! A very tough one for the man in the air-conditioned box. Good luck Anil Chaudhary. Oh he's given it OUT and that's a brave call. The benefit of the doubt goes to the bowler. HYD would argue though. That was so tight and it wasn't very clear that Pollard had something behind the line. Anyway, the decision has been made and it's joy for MUM. Slower delivery outside off stump, Reddy slogs and gets a thick outside edge, backward point runs back and to his left to take a good catch. Short third man was also going for the catch but Vinay did well to cling on. Ashish Reddy c Vinay b Pollard 17(15) [6s-1]

12.1 - Harbhajan to Rahul, out Bowled!! That's chopped on. Nothing is working for HYD. Rahul, who was well set, departs to leave the side in tatters. Nothing great about this ball though. Just pushed through close to the off stump, Rahul goes deep in the crease and also gives himself a bit of room, tries to play the cut shot but gets an under edge that disturbs the off stump. Rahul b Harbhajan 25(24) [4s-2]

9.3 - Jagadeesha Suchith to N Ojha, out Caught by Rohit!! HYD are in doldrums now! This is as soft a dismissal one can get. This was tossed up and just outside off, drew Ojha forward into the drive, the ball seemed to have stopped on him, Ojha pushed forward lamely and offers a dolly to Rohit at short extra cover. Suchith is on a hat-trick. N Ojha c Rohit b Jagadeesha Suchith 0(1)

9.2 - Jagadeesha Suchith to Henriques, out Stumped!! Another massive wicket for MUM, Suchith gets rid of Henriques. Lovely bit of flight from Suchith, tempts Henriques into leaving his crease and go for the big shot, the ball rapidly dips on the advancing batsman, he's in no position to play the shot, goes for an hopeful swish, Parthiv does the rest. HYD are in big trouble now. Henriques st Parthiv Patel b Jagadeesha Suchith 11(19) [4s-1]

5.3 - McClenaghan to Eoin Morgan, out Caught by Simmons!! That's catching practice for Simmons at third man! This was short, this was wide and should have been put away to the fence. Morgan went hard on the cut, gets a thick top-edge straight down the throat of Simmons at third man. He didn't need to move an inch, MUM celebrate, HYD are in deep trouble now. Eoin Morgan c Simmons b McClenaghan 9(14) [4s-1]

1.1 - McClenaghan to Warner, out Caught by Pollard!! HYD have lost both their top guns, the crowd look stunned. This was banged in short and just outside off, Warner was looking to pull, he's cramped for room, gets it very high on the bat and the ball lobs straight up in the air. The keeper came rushing, so did the man at first slip, but it's Pollard who runs in from point and takes the dolly. HYD are in huge trouble now. McClenaghan is mobbed by his mates, they know how big this wicket is. Warner c Pollard b McClenaghan 6(5) [4s-1]

1.0 - Malinga to Dhawan, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! That's a cracker of a yorker from Malinga, Dhawan was way too late to bring his bat down, the off-stump goes for a walk. This was very full and swirled in late, Dhawan had exposed all his stumps as he looked to drive, doesn't get his bat down in time and the off-stump is knocked out. Malinga strikes in his first over, HYD have lost Dhawan very early. Dhawan b Malinga 1(2)

11.3 - Karn Sharma to Parthiv Patel, FOUR, deft touch! This was bowled slower through the air, Patel waits for the ball to arrive, opens the face of the bat and guides it to the right of short third man once again. Praveen gives chase but the ball wins the race by a big margin

11.2 - Karn Sharma to Parthiv Patel, FOUR, that's really well played by Patel, it was floated up on the stumps, Patel kneels down and reverse sweeps it to the right of short third man, who had no chance of stopping that

10.1 - Henriques to Parthiv Patel, FOUR, Patel comes down the wicket and Henriques bowls this short and slower well outside off, Patel flat-bats it to the left of mid-off, who was inside the circle, the ball crashes into the fence in no time

9.1 - Karn Sharma to Simmons, FOUR, that's a great shot, it was flatter and well outside off, Simmons had all the time in the world to cut it, he sends it in the gap between short third man and backward point, there was no stopping that ball

8.1 - Steyn to Parthiv Patel, FOUR, edged and four! It was full and outside off, Patel looks to drive and throws the kitchen sink at it, gets an outside edge that flies to the left of the keeper, who dives across, but the ball evades him and runs away

7.1 - Henriques to Parthiv Patel, FOUR, 50 of the partnership comes up with that boundary, it was a length delivery on the pads, Patel goes slightly across and tickles it away to the fine leg fence, not a great start to the over for Henriques

6.4 - P Kumar to Parthiv Patel, FOUR, Patel comes down the track and Praveen bangs it short, he pulls it through mid-wicket, KL Rahul in the deep runs to his right, puts in the dive but fails to stop the ball, Patel collects four

4.2 - P Kumar to Simmons, FOUR, not second time lucky for PK. Similar delivery, on the pads, Simmons allows the ball to come and glances it behind square on the on-side past short fine leg

4.0 - Bhuvneshwar to Parthiv Patel, FOUR, friendly full ball on the leg stump, poor line from Bhuvneshwar and he pays the penalty. Parthiv doesn't try to do anything fancy, just flicks it to the left of square leg and it raced away

3.4 - Bhuvneshwar to Parthiv Patel, FOUR, short and wide, asking for trouble, looked like Bhuvneshwar lost control of this leg-cutting slower ball, Parthiv delays the cut shot and sends it past the diving fielder at cover-point

2.5 - Steyn to Simmons, FOUR, poor line, that's cruel from a senior bowler of this HYD attack. Short of a length delivery on the leg stump, with fine leg inside the ring, Simmons pulls it fine and sends it through backward square leg

2.2 - Steyn to Simmons, FOUR, down the track goes Lendl Simmons and slaps this short of length delivery wide of mid-off. Once it was in the gap, it was always racing away

0.3 - Steyn to Parthiv Patel, FOUR, cracking front foot drive from Parthiv. Full and swinging back in, Parthiv leans forward and drives with an angled bat through cover-point to get off the mark in style

13.3 - Karn Sharma to Rohit, SIX, that's probably the best way to get off the mark. He has dismissed Karn here with utter disdain. Kneels down and slog sweeps the googly way over the long-on fence

12.0 - Karn Sharma to Simmons, SIX, 100 of the partnership comes up with another maximum, back-to-back sixes for Simmons, this time he kneels down to this flighted delivery and slog sweeps it way over the deep mid-wicket fence. Looks like both Patel and Simmons are in a hurry to finish it off now. 22 runs came off the over

11.5 - Karn Sharma to Simmons, SIX, clobbered! This was dropped flatter by Karn, Simmons rocks back and muscles the pull over the deep mid-wicket fence

13.2 - Karn Sharma to Simmons, out Caught by Dhawan!! Poor ball from Karn, but a lucky wicket for HYD. A little too late in the day though. This was a nothing delivery, it was short and it was well wide outside off, Simmons goes chasing after it, he cuts in the air, picks out Dhawan at point, who takes it easily. Had Simmons left that, it would have been called a wide. Simmons c Dhawan b Karn Sharma 48(44) [4s-4 6s-2]

13.1 - Karn Sharma to Parthiv Patel, 1 run, Patel gets to his fifty, it was flatter and outside off, Patel goes on the back foot and knocks it to sweeper cover
