19.2 - Dwayne Bravo to Pollard, FOUR, full toss and flicked away along the ground through backward square leg and the fielder in the deep had no chance

17.0 - I Pandey to Pollard, FOUR, full and on the pads, Pollard waits for it to come and glances it fine to the left of short fine leg and deep backward square leg had no chance. 17 runs off the over

16.1 - I Pandey to Rayudu, FOUR, a swipe across the line and the top edge goes past the keeper. Lucky runs for Rayudu but he'll take it. Short of a length outside off stump, Rayudu slogs and gets away with it

13.5 - Ravindra Jadeja to Pollard, FOUR, low full toss, there is a man at long-on but he couldn't get there even with a full length dive. Just a drive down the ground and it rocketed to the fence

13.0 - Dwayne Bravo to Rohit, FOUR, thank you very much says Rohit Sharma and drives all along the carpet to pick up four more. Slower ball right in the slot, Rohit leans forward, waits and nails the drive to perfection to the left of extra-cover. Costly beginning for Bravo, 14 came off the over

11.5 - Ashwin to Pollard, FOUR, this is a fine hit. He tried to come down the track but on seeing Ashwin drag his length back, adjusted and got into an awkward position, yet he managed to flick it powerfully enough to send it over mid-wicket and beat the fielder in the deep. The ball went off the inside half of the bat

9.4 - Mohit Sharma to Rohit, FOUR, Classy! Shot of the night from Rohit, overpitched and well outside off, Rohit gets forward, presents the full face of the bat and sends it screaming past extra cover for a boundary

9.2 - Mohit Sharma to Harbhajan, FOUR, that went at the rate of knots! Width on offer from Mohit, Harbhajan makes more room and slaps it square on the off-side, no chance for the man at sweeper cover

7.1 - Mohit Sharma to Rohit, FOUR, that's a fine shot! Width on offer from Mohit, Rohit waits on it, leans into the cut, hits it on the up and gets it behind square on the off-side, no chance for third man

6.4 - Ravindra Jadeja to Harbhajan, FOUR, that's powerfully struck! This was tossed up and on the stumps, Harbhajan gets a good stride forward and drills it back past the bowler, no chance for the man at long-off

5.1 - Mohit Sharma to Rohit, FOUR, cracking shot, fraction short and just outside off, Rohit picks up the length quickly and pulls it over mid-wicket, one bounce and over the ropes for a boundary

4.2 - Nehra to Rohit, FOUR, lovely shot, width on offer from Nehra, Rohit climbs onto the cut and slashes it over backward point for a boundary

3.1 - I Pandey to Simmons, FOUR, cracking shot, Simmons makes width by backing away and lashes a square cut, beats cover-point and races away to the fence

2.3 - Nehra to Corey Anderson, FOUR, edged and four, Anderson charges down the track, makes room for the cover drive, gets a toe-end that beats second slip and races away to the fence in a hurry

18.5 - Mohit Sharma to Rayudu, SIX, that's a gift. Friendly full toss outside off stump, Rayudu muscles it straight back over the bowler's head for a maximum

18.3 - Mohit Sharma to Rayudu, SIX, he knew that Mohit Sharma would bowl a slower ball, waited for it to come, the length was short as well and it sat up nicely, Rayudu pulled it hard and flat over deep mid-wicket

16.2 - I Pandey to Rayudu, SIX, this time he's made great contact and smashed it over the rope. Short ball from Pandey, Rayudu dances down the track and pulls powerfully over deep mid-wicket. Great start to the over for MUM

14.0 - Ravindra Jadeja to Pollard, SIX, six more! 26 runs off the over. Short from Ravindra Jadeja, dreadful ball, Pollard smashes it flat over long-on

13.4 - Ravindra Jadeja to Pollard, SIX, this is cruel for the bowler. The batsman has hit a six off the inside half of the bat! Gee! What power! Short and outside off stump, Pollard goes for the pull and splits deep mid-wicket and long-on to perfection

13.1 - Ravindra Jadeja to Pollard, SIX, and again! Off the toe-end off the bat, but clears the boundary. How big is that bat? Flatter and fired fast outside off stump, Pollard flat-bats it flat over long-off

12.4 - Dwayne Bravo to Pollard, SIX, again not sure if it's from the middle of the bat, looked more outside half of the bat, yes it was but it's almost gone into the upper tier. Slower ball bumper, Pollard goes for the pull and sends it over deep mid-wicket

11.1 - Ashwin to Rohit, SIX, welcome to the Wankhede says Rohit and muscles one over long-off. Not sure if this caught the middle of the bat, flighted delivery outside off stump, Rohit raced down the track and lofted it handsomely in the end

10.2 - Ravindra Jadeja to Pollard, SIX, this man loves batting against CHN. Doesn't he? Straightaway goes over the top and makes a handsome strike. Flighted on the stumps, Pollard lofts it high into the night sky over the bowler's head for a 91-metre hit

8.1 - Ravindra Jadeja to Harbhajan, SIX, that's smashed by Harbhajan, tossed up and just outside off, right into the hitting zone of Harbhajan, he clears his left leg and heaves it deep into the stands at long-on

19.5 - Dwayne Bravo to Pollard, out Caught by Dwayne Smith!! Full toss and would you believe it, he's picked the fielder out to perfection. In this form Pollard would have smashed that out of the ground, but Bravo is very lucky that he it straight to deep backward square leg, who didn't have to move an inch. Bravo is on a hat-trick. And he celebrates wildly as Pollard walks back. Pollard c Dwayne Smith b Dwayne Bravo 64(30) [4s-4 6s-5]

19.4 - Dwayne Bravo to Rayudu, out Caught by Ravindra Jadeja!! Slower ball right in the slot, Rayudu goes for the slog, doesn't make proper contact, looked like he got it on the inside half of the bat and deep mid-wicket made no mistake. Jadeja moved a few steps to his left to take the catch. End of a fine cameo from Rayudu. Rayudu c Ravindra Jadeja b Dwayne Bravo 29(16) [4s-1 6s-3]

15.0 - Nehra to Rohit, out Caught by Dwayne Bravo!! Big blow for Mumbai and this could make a difference of 10-15 runs to the final score. Length ball just outside off stump, Rohit got across a bit and tried to smash it wide of mid-wicket, but hit to the fielder at long-on. Bravo just took a few steps forward before completing the catch. End of a fantastic 75-run stand. Nehra blows a kiss to Rohit as he sends him off. Rohit c Dwayne Bravo b Nehra 50(31) [4s-5 6s-1]

9.3 - Mohit Sharma to Harbhajan, out Caught by Ravindra Jadeja!! Harbhajan's cameo is over! This was short and just outside off, Harbhajan cleared his left leg as he aimed to carve it past point, gets it high on the bat and ends up slicing it behind point. Jadeja circles around the ball and completes a simple catch. Mumbai have lost their fourth wicket now. Harbhajan c Ravindra Jadeja b Mohit Sharma 24(21) [4s-2 6s-1]

3.4 - I Pandey to Simmons, out Caught by du Plessis!! This is getting horrible for MUM. What shot was that, Simmons! This was pitched up and held its line outside off, looked like it stopped on the pitch, Simmons made room for the drive, comes down the track, throws his bat at that, gets it right off the toe-end and offers a simple catch to Faf at mid-off. He doesn't drop those, MUM have lost three and are in the mire. Simmons c du Plessis b I Pandey 5(13) [4s-1]

2.5 - Nehra to Corey Anderson, out Caught by du Plessis!! That's a stunning catch from Faf! Anderson never looked at ease, he was constantly hurried onto his shots. This was banged in short and just outside off, came on quicker than Anderson expected, he only managed to splice the pull, the ball went over the bowler. Faf gets across from mid-off, jumps and takes the catch over his shoulder and holds on even as he tumbled onto the ground. Second wicket for Nehra, MUM are in some trouble already. Corey Anderson c du Plessis b Nehra 4(7) [4s-1]

0.4 - Nehra to Parthiv Patel, out Lbw!! Parthiv Patel falls first ball! Terrible start for Mumbai once again. Marais Erasmus was quick to raise the dreaded finger. This was pitched up and swung back into Parthiv, he was shuffling across on the clip, misses and is struck on the pads, the impact was on leg-stump and it was going on to hit the stumps? At least, that's what the umpire felt. Early strike by Chennai. Parthiv Patel lbw b Nehra 0(1)

8.5 - Ravindra Jadeja to Harbhajan, no run, MS has dropped one, Jadeja pushed one quicker and just outside off, Harbhajan made room for the cut, gets a thick outside edge. Dhoni grabbed at that and dropped it, was a tough catch, but the keepers would be expected to take those

16.5 - I Pandey to Pollard, 2 runs, fifty for Pollard off just 21 balls, his 8th in T20 League. Slower delivery just outside off stump, Pollard turns it to mid-wicket and gets back for the second

14.5 - Nehra to Rohit, 2 runs, slower ball outside off stump, Rohit leans forward and drives it to deep extra-cover, a fumble allows the second run and it's his 23rd T20 League fifty. He raises his bat to the crowd as well

13.2 - Ravindra Jadeja to Pollard, 1 run, driven down to long-on, fifty partnership comes up

7.4 - Mohit Sharma to Harbhajan, 1 run, that could have been close! Harbhajan was struggling had Jadeja made a direct hit at the bowler's end, he was out by miles in fact. This was the slower ball from Mohit, Harbhajan pushed it towards point where Jadeja fumbled. Rohit was quick to look for a single, Harbhajan responded late and would have been short had the fielder hit the stumps

16.3 - Pollard to Dwayne Bravo, FOUR, scores are level now. Short of a length delivery outside off stump, Bravo dabs it very fine to the third man boundary

16.1 - Pollard to Raina, FOUR, shortish and just outside off stump, Raina goes on the back foot and pulls it along the ground through mid-wicket, long-on runs to his left but the ball wins the race

13.1 - Vinay to Raina, FOUR, poor ball! Friendly ball indeed. Short of a length delivery on the leg stump, Raina swivels and pulls it along the ground through backward square leg, fine leg had no chance

11.5 - Harbhajan to Raina, FOUR, deft touch and Raina jogs to the other end, knowing that it was four the moment it left his bat. Again flatter in trajectory from Harbhajan, Raina opens the face of the bat and guides it at the last moment to beat short third man

9.5 - Harbhajan to du Plessis, FOUR, the lap sweep from du Plessis, gets down on his knees, uses the pace of the bowler and laps it very fine, beats the man getting across from fine leg

9.0 - Vinay to du Plessis, FOUR, aggression from Faf! Just a little shimmy down the track, gets to the pitch of the ball and goes over mid-off for a boundary

6.3 - Suyal to Dwayne Smith, FOUR, smashed! Fraction short and just outside off, Smith stays behind the line and pulls it past mid-wicket for a boundary

5.5 - Harbhajan to Dwayne Smith, FOUR, edged and four, pushed through quicker and just outside off, Smith was looking to help it fine, gets a thick edge past the keeper, the ball races away to the fence

5.3 - Harbhajan to Brendon McCullum, FOUR, McCullum is toying with Harbhajan here, chips down the track, gets to the pitch of the ball and goes inside out over cover for a hat-trick of boundaries

5.2 - Harbhajan to Brendon McCullum, FOUR, this is even better! This was tossed up and well outside off, McCullum gets a good stride forward and drills it through extra cover, Rohit gives chase but the ball races away to the fence

4.2 - Jagadeesha Suchith to Dwayne Smith, FOUR, that's cheeky from Smith, pushed through wider outside off, Smith waits on it, opens the face of the bat and runs it past short third man for a boundary

4.0 - Malinga to Dwayne Smith, FOUR, 21 runs from the over, full toss from Malinga, Smith makes room and clatters it through extra cover for a boundary, brings up CHN's 50 as well

3.4 - Malinga to Dwayne Smith, FOUR, Oh dear! A howler from Rayudu at third man, concedes three extra runs. This was short and well outside off, Smith uses the pace on the ball and steers it behind point. Rayudu overruns and allows the ball to slip through his fingers. Rohit isn't looking impressed

3.2 - Malinga to Brendon McCullum, FOUR, CHN are off to a rocking start! Malinga goes for the yorker, ends up offering a low full toss, punched back past the bowler, beats mid-off as well and races away to the fence

3.1 - Malinga to Brendon McCullum, FOUR, too short from Malinga, McCullum rocks back and pulls it high and over mid-wicket for another boundary

1.0 - Suyal to Dwayne Smith, FOUR, that spoils the over for Suyal, just a fraction short and outside off, Smith swivels across and pulls it over mid-wicket, almost went all the way, bounces just in front of the ropes

16.4 - Pollard to Dwayne Bravo, SIX, it's three out of three in this season for CHN and MUM have lost all four games now. Slower ball on the stumps, Bravo waits and muscles the loft over long-on

13.4 - Vinay to Raina, SIX, wow! That bat made a sweet sound as it made contact with the ball. Gee! What a shot and what bat-speed. Short ball just outside off stump, Raina stands tall and muscles the pull over deep mid-wicket

11.2 - Harbhajan to Raina, SIX, he's tonked this over long-on. Flighted delivery on the stumps, Raina advances, gets to the pitch of the ball and lofts it high into the night sky. First six for the left-hander

7.3 - Harbhajan to Dwayne Smith, SIX, Smith continues on his merry ways, this was tossed up and just outside off, Smith goes halfway down on his knees and slog sweeps it high and over mid-wicket for another maximum

6.5 - Suyal to Brendon McCullum, SIX, the Bazscoop! This is stunning hitting from the two CHN openers, moves across his stumps, uses the pace on the ball and helps it over long leg for a maximum

4.4 - Jagadeesha Suchith to Dwayne Smith, SIX, beautifully played! This was tossed up and wider outside off, Smith gets well forward and lofts it clean and into the long-off stands, another maximum

4.3 - Jagadeesha Suchith to Dwayne Smith, SIX, sheer power from Smith, this was flighted and on the stumps, Smith gtes forward, gets underneath the length and lifts it nonchalantly over the long-on boundary

2.2 - Jagadeesha Suchith to Dwayne Smith, SIX, that's a mighty blow from Smith, Suchith drifted one wide outside off, Smith stretches out and lofts it high and over long-on for a maximum

1.2 - Malinga to Brendon McCullum, SIX, that's massive! Too short from Malinga, McCullum is quick to rock back and pull it high and over long leg, lands in the DJ area, nice way to get going

14.5 - Pollard to Dhoni, out Caught&Bowled!! This is a soft, soft dismissal. MS Dhoni walks down the pitch, Pollard bangs the slower ball short and Dhoni hits it straight to Pollard, who pouches it with his bucket hands. A quick-fire fifty and now a wicket against his name. Pollard is having a wonderful match, but unfortunately, his side is losing this. Replays show that Pollard bowled that behind the stumps. Dhoni c and b Pollard 3(6)

12.2 - Malinga to du Plessis, out Bowled!! Slinga gets into the act. This is the Malinga that we know. Fantastic yorker, du Plessis couldn't do much about it, he tried to dig it out, but it was too quick and it hit his boot before crashing into the base of middle and off. du Plessis b Malinga 11(13) [4s-2]

8.0 - Harbhajan to Dwayne Smith, out Caught by Rohit!! Harbhajan has dismissed both openers now. This is exceptional bowling by the wily off-spinner. He flighted this one slower and just outside off, Smith had to fetch the sweep, gets a thick top-edge. Rohit keeps his eyes on the ball and takes the catch tumbling backwards at mid-wicket. Dwayne Smith c Rohit b Harbhajan 62(30) [4s-8 6s-4]

7.2 - Harbhajan to Brendon McCullum, out Caught by Vinay!! Breakthrough for MUM! McCullum falls after a fiery cameo! This was tossed up and just outside off, McCullum comes down the track, doesn't get hold of the shot and ends up chipping it to Vinay at long-off. Relief on MUM fielders faces, but is too late. Brendon McCullum c Vinay b Harbhajan 46(20) [4s-6 6s-2]

16.2 - Pollard to Raina, 1 run, dropped. Slower ball outside off stump, again from behind the stumps there from Pollard, Raina steps out and goes for the inside-out drive, it went to the right of Harbhajan at extra-cover, he got both hands to it but spills it

15.1 - Suyal to Raina, 2 runs, full and on the off stump, Raina walks across the stumps and looks to flick, gets a leading edge, the ball goes high up in the air, but lands safely between sweeper cover and extra-cover

6.0 - Harbhajan to Dwayne Smith, 1 run, 11th T20 League fifty for Smith, 90 runs off the batting PP, the 2nd highest by any team. This was drifted on off, Smith shuffled across and nudged it in front of mid-wicket for a single
