17.5 - McClenaghan to Mathews, FOUR, oh this is a top shot from Mathews. Short and following Mathews as he makes room, he was cramped for room there, but Mathews has done exceptionally well to get on top of the bounce and guide it to the right of backward point

17.1 - McClenaghan to Mathews, FOUR, this is clever batting from Mathews. Short and just outside off stump, Mathews made room for himself by moving to leg-side, just opened the face of the bat at the last moment and guided it between backward point and short third man

16.5 - Malinga to Mathews, FOUR, easily done! Full and outside off stump, Mathews goes leg-side and drives it along the ground to the left of mid-off. Off the mark in style

15.5 - Bumrah to Duminy, FOUR, friendly full toss, that's a cruel ball from Bumrah. Duminy doesn't try to overhit the ball, just lofts the drive over cover and picks up four more

15.0 - Pandya to Duminy, FOUR, full and on the leg stump, Duminy flicks it nicely through mid-wicket and there is no one in the deep to stop the ball. That spoils a good over

13.0 - McClenaghan to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, edged and four. This is frustrating for the bowler. Short and outside off stump, Iyer goes for the pull again, gets a thickish edge and it goes fine past the keeper. This is Iyer's highest score in T20 League as well

11.1 - Pollard to Duminy, FOUR, full toss and long-on was too wide. He ran to his right and tried to stop the ball, but it was too quick for him. Duminy swings it back over the bowler's head, he actually mishit that, but it's gone for four. Duminy is disappointed with himself that he didn't make proper contact

10.5 - Bumrah to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, that's a yorker, but he's squeezed it out fine and it's gone for four. Simmons at short third man had no chance. This is Iyer's second T20 League fifty and he continues to impress

10.4 - Bumrah to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, full toss and he's crashed that through cover. This is poor bowling from Bumrah. Can't offer freebies to a batsman who is well set

7.3 - Pandya to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, lovely shot, width on offer from Pandya, Iyer waits on it, uses the pace of the bowler and steers it behind square on the off-side

4.4 - Harbhajan to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, edged and four, this was tossed up and held its line outside off, Iyer was looking to drive, gets a thick edge that races away through the vacant slip cordon

2.4 - McClenaghan to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, one too many slower delivery from McClenaghan, Iyer spots it early, waits on it and lofts it over mid-on, juts one bounce and over the ropes for a boundary

1.2 - Malinga to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, lovely shot, on a good length and a hint of shape away from off, Iyer covers for the movement and whips it past mid-wicket, doesn't need to run for those, that's the first boundary of the innings

19.1 - Bumrah to Duminy, SIX, Bumrah has scored a fifty off just 19 balls, but not with the bat. Poor start to the over. Low full toss on the off stump, Duminy muscles it over long-on for a maximum

16.0 - Bumrah to Duminy, SIX, slower ball alright, but it's right in the slot, Duminy delays his slog and nails it to perfection. Clears the deep mid-wicket by a long way. 15 came off the over. This is now the highest stand for any wicket this season

13.3 - Harbhajan to Shreyas Iyer, SIX, this time it's a slog-sweep and it's six more. A little slower through the air, Iyer was down on one knee, he had to reach out for it a bit in the end, but he did very well to connect and cleared deep mid-wicket

13.2 - Harbhajan to Shreyas Iyer, SIX, that's in the slot and easy pickings for Iyer. For some reason, Harbhajan is not bowling the offies to the right-hander, he's firing the sliders in, Iyer is picking them easily and he's slogged this over deep mid-wicket

12.5 - McClenaghan to Shreyas Iyer, SIX, top edge and it's gone for six. Short and angling into the right-hander, Iyer was cramped for room as he tried to pull the short ball, the bat turned in his hands as well, but it had enough wood on it to clear the long leg boundary

11.5 - Pollard to Duminy, SIX, another full toss, another mishit, this one went off the outside half of the bat but it doesn't matter. It cleared the deep mid-wicket boundary by some distance. Duminy slogs it over the infield and gets a maximum

11.4 - Pollard to Duminy, SIX, that's gone a long way up in the air and it's got a lot of distance on it as well. Pollard opts for another slower ball, but he bowls this very full, Duminy waits and flicks it away over square leg

10.3 - Bumrah to Shreyas Iyer, SIX, that's a handsome hit from Iyer. Length ball on the stumps, Iyer waits for the ball and lofts it high over long-on and hits the sightscreen

3.4 - Bumrah to Duminy, SIX, this is poor bowling from Bumrah, once again short and on the stumps, Duminy swivels across and pulls it over backward square leg, second successive maximum

3.3 - Bumrah to Duminy, SIX, massive, easy pickings for Duminy, short and on his hips, he shuffles inside the line and helps it high and over backward square, goes deep into the stands

2.5 - McClenaghan to Shreyas Iyer, SIX, cracking shot, width on offer from McClenaghan, too short and too wide, Iyer makes room and cracks it high and over backward point, went sailing over the ropes for a maximum

19.3 - Bumrah to Yuvraj, out Caught by Pollard!! He didn't go through with the shot, but hit it too well and Pollard didn't have to move an inch. Very full, Yuvraj just dug that out, he hit it very hard and it went flat to long-on. Had he had a full swing at that, he could have easily cleared the boundary. Yuvraj c Pollard b Bumrah 2(4)

18.0 - McClenaghan to Mathews, out Caught by Parthiv Patel!! Again no room for Mathews to work with. As the length was on the shorter side, Mathews tries to pull but gets the toe-end of the bat, Parthiv dives forward and takes an easy catch. End of a fine cameo from Mathews. Mathews c Parthiv Patel b McClenaghan 17(8) [4s-3]

16.4 - Malinga to Shreyas Iyer, out Bowled!! He tried to be too cheeky there! Moving around in the crease is fine, but he's gone a long way across his sticks. Exposed all three stumps, can't do that to bloke called Malinga, who almost fires a pin-point yorker and takes the leg stump out. This is a sad end to a magnificent innings from the youngster. In fact, the leg stump is broken. Shreyas Iyer b Malinga 83(56) [4s-7 6s-5]

0.3 - McClenaghan to M Agarwal, out Caught by Rayudu!! Yet another failure for Agarwal, he's been dismissed for 1 for the third consective time. This was banged in short and around the off-stump line Agarwal swivelled across on the pull, struck it pretty well but hits it straight to mid-wicket. Rayudu juggled with the ball, but holds onto the rebound. M Agarwal c Rayudu b McClenaghan 1(2)

16.1 - Malinga to Shreyas Iyer, 2 runs, shuffles in the crease, Malinga bowls a full ball outside off stump, driven to mid-off off the toe end, McClenaghan has a shy at the bowler's end and misses. A direct-hit would have been very interesting as Iyer almost ran into Malinga there. There is no one backing up the throw and it's an extra run

14.0 - Harbhajan to Duminy, 2 runs, tossed up, Duminy goes for the slog-sweep, gets a top edge, but it lands safely at mid-on, the fielder from the deep couldn't get there in time. Fifty for the skipper as well

12.2 - McClenaghan to Duminy, 1 run, McClenaghan follows Duminy as he steps out, it was a short ball, he plays the pull and manages to send it to deep mid-wicket. That brings up the 100 partnership as well

0.1 - McClenaghan to M Agarwal, 1 run, short of a length and just outside off, Agarwal dabs it in front of cover and sets off for a quick single, he was lazy in grounding his bat, might have been short had there been a direct hit

19.1 - Mathews to Malinga, FOUR, banged in short and at the batsman, Malinga swats the pull over a diving mid-wicket and the ball runs away to the fence

16.2 - Tahir to Rayudu, FOUR, bowls this one slightly wide outside off, Rayudu goes chasing after it and slices it over backward point, Nadeem from sweeper cover runs to his left, puts in the dive but the ball beats him to the fence

15.2 - Coulter-Nile to Rayudu, FOUR, banged in short this time, Rayudu rocks back and pulls it over mid-wicket, who dives full length to his right but can't get a hand on it. The ball runs away to the deep mid-wicket fence in no time

15.1 - Coulter-Nile to Rayudu, FOUR, Rayudu has timed that so well. It was slightly shortish and outside off, Rayudu goes leg-side and makes room for himself, he cracks it square of the wicket and the sweeper had no chance of stopping that even though he ran to his left

8.1 - Mishra to Chand, FOUR, that's cheeky from Chand. Googly on the off stump, he waited for the ball to come and just took in front of the off stump, Yuvraj gives chase from short third man, flicks the ball but it rolls back to hit the boundary

6.4 - Mishra to Chand, FOUR, that's given as runs. I thought it missed everything. Flighted delivery down the leg-side, Chand slips while playing the sweep and the keeper didn't collect

5.3 - Mathews to Parthiv Patel, FOUR, that's not connected well, but Patel will take it. Short of a length delivery on the leg stump, Patel tries to slog, gets it on outside half of the bat, the ball goes past the bowler, mid-on runs to his right and gets a hand onto it, but the ball escapes

3.5 - Duminy to Simmons, FOUR, in the slot and that's easily driven through cover. With the ball spinning back in, it was always easy for Simmons to play Duminy and he's hit that for four

3.2 - Duminy to Parthiv Patel, FOUR, in the air but in the gap. A risky hit from Patel. Short and spinning away outside off stump, Patel cuts it between short cover and cover-point. Back-to-back boundaries for MUM

3.1 - Duminy to Parthiv Patel, FOUR, flighted delivery just outside off stump, Patel backs away and slices the drive over cover-point, cleared the infield and got full value for the shot

2.5 - Coulter-Nile to Simmons, FOUR, easy ball, especially after opening himself up expecting the length to be short, Simmons pulls it through mid-wicket and it raced away for four

2.2 - Coulter-Nile to Simmons, FOUR, now that is a top shot. Short of a length delivery just outside off stump, Simmons went deep in the crease and also made room, he cut it nicely past backward point and third man had no chance

0.5 - Coulter-Nile to Parthiv Patel, FOUR, oh that's an excellent front foot punch from Patel. Good length delivery just outside off stump, Patel hits it to the left of mid-off, who dives in vain

17.4 - Coulter-Nile to Harbhajan, SIX, one too many short balls from Coulter-Nile, Harbhajan knew that it was coming and he pulls it magnificently over the deep mid-wicket fence. That made a cracking sound as he connected with it

13.5 - S Nadeem to Rayudu, SIX, hammered! Rayudu joins the party now as he comes racing down the track and tonks this delivery on middle and leg over the cow corner fence, that went quite the distance

13.2 - S Nadeem to Rohit, SIX, Rohit gives the charge this time and swings hard, he played that beautifully as the ball hits the sight screen on the full, another maximum for the MUM captain

12.5 - Mishra to Rohit, SIX, floated up around off, Sharma lofts it over the long-off fence with ease, that was an effortless six

9.5 - Tahir to Pollard, SIX, mighty hit. Flighted delivery on the stumps, Pollard lofts it easily over wide long-on for a 91-metre hit

5.4 - Mathews to Parthiv Patel, SIX, slower delivery and he's picked it easily. Patel waits and hits it straight into the sightscreen. That was a handsome hit

19.4 - Mathews to Harbhajan, out Caught by (sub)Jayant Yadav!! That's a great catch from the substitute fielder. It was banged in halfway down the wicket, Harbhajan went for the pull but the ball hurried onto him. He got it high on the bat and Jayant from deep mid-wicket runs forward, dives and takes a superb catch. He had to cover a lot of ground there Harbhajan c (sub)Jayant Yadav b Mathews 9(10) [6s-1]

16.4 - Tahir to McClenaghan, out Caught by K Jadhav!! Tahir is on a hat-trick. He goes on the run once more. McClenaghan goes for the reverse sweep off this flighted delivery around off, he gets an under-edge, the ball then goes off the glove and hits the pad, the ball then lobs up and catches the back of the bat. The keeper takes the simplest of catches. McClenaghan c K Jadhav b Tahir 0(1)

16.3 - Tahir to Rayudu, out Caught by Coulter-Nile!! Tahir picks his second wicket now. He's pumped and Rayudu is the man gone now. 2 in 3 balls for Tahir, 3 wickets in 4 balls for DEL. It was floated slightly wide outside off, Rayudu chases it as he goes for the loft, hits it straight down the throat of long-off, who didn't have to move an inch to take that. Rayudu c Coulter-Nile b Tahir 30(22) [4s-3 6s-1]

16.1 - Tahir to Pandya, out Caught by Coulter-Nile!! Tahir is on the run as he picks his first wicket of the night. It's 2 in 2 for DEL now. It was tossed up on the stumps, Pandya wanted to go downtown with the loft, but fails to get under it properly. Coulter-Nile from long-off runs in to his right and dives to take another good catch. Pandya c Coulter-Nile b Tahir 0(1)

16.0 - Coulter-Nile to Rohit, out Caught by S Nadeem!! Finally, Coulter-Nile gets his man. Rohit is gone and MUM's chances also take a dive with this wicket. It was a short slower delivery from Coulter-Nile, Rohit was cramped for the room there as he went for the pull, he got a top-edge that goes high in the air. There were two fielders converging in from deep square leg and deep mid-wicket there, there could well have been a collision, but Nadeem manages to take it easily in the end. Also, one of Rohit's hands came off the bat as he played that shot, probably the reason why he couldn't get power behind it. Rohit c S Nadeem b Coulter-Nile 30(24) [6s-2]

10.2 - Mishra to Pollard, out Caught by S Nadeem!! That's a huge wicket for the Delhi. The dangerman Pollard is gone. He walks back dejected. It was flatter and outside off, Pollard went for the loft, but ends up slicing it high in the air as the ball turned away. Nadeem from extra cover runs to his left and takes a well judged catch. Pollard c S Nadeem b Mishra 10(8) [6s-1]

8.2 - Mishra to Chand, out Stumped!! This was on the cards. Chand was bound to come down the track to go for a big hit. Mishra bowled this slower through the air, Chand missed it completely and the keeper made no mistake. Chand was a long way out of the crease. That was a good stumping by the keeper as it kept a bit low. Chand st K Jadhav b Mishra 14(11) [4s-2]

6.0 - Mathews to Parthiv Patel, out Caught by Tahir!! That's another great catch from DEL in the outfield. Slower ball on a short of a length, Patel goes for the pull, gets a lot of height but not the distance. Imran Tahir runs to his right from deep square leg, again it looked like the fielder lost it for a while, but he dived to his right and took it with both hands. MUM need to be careful now. They've lost two wickets in a space of 11 balls. Parthiv Patel c Tahir b Mathews 28(19) [4s-4 6s-1]

4.2 - Joseph to Simmons, out Caught by Duminy!! Oh that's gone high up in the airrrrr and that's a very good catch by the skipper. Big blow for Mumbai. Full and in the slot, Simmons would have normally muscled that out of the ground. He went for the loft over mid-on but he hit it straight up in the air, Duminy runs back to his right from mid-on, looked like he misjudged it for a while, but he stopped, then moved to his right, stretched his hands to take the catch and then tumbled onto the ground. Simmons c Duminy b Joseph 15(14) [4s-3]
