19.2 - Vinay to S Tiwary, FOUR, innovation from Tiwary, he gets across his sticks, waits for the fuller length delivery and scoops it over short fine, the ball easily goes over the fielder and a much needed boundary for DEL

18.2 - Malinga to S Tiwary, FOUR, brute power! Malinga misses the yorker, dishes out a juicy full toss, Tiwary hammers it straight down the ground, gives the fielder at long-off no chance to stop the ball

16.4 - Malinga to Yuvraj, FOUR, what a shot! The fielder at sweeper cover had just a few metres to move, but doesn't get there even with a dive. Overpitched outside off, Yuvraj punches it through extra cover, the ball travelled to the boundary at the rate of knots. That was sheer power from Yuvi

16.3 - Malinga to Yuvraj, FOUR, lucky! It was a fast slinging yorker outside off, Yuvraj reaches out and tries to squeeze it, the ball takes the inside edge and bounces over the leaping Parthiv. He didn't get it where he wanted, but will be happy with the end result

16.2 - Malinga to Yuvraj, FOUR, Yuvraj slowly getting into the zone. He pre-meditated the yorker, walks across and forward, takes it on the full and heaves it over mid-wicket, no one protecting the boundary in the deep and four more to Yuvi

16.0 - Pandya to Yuvraj, FOUR, smashed! Finally, Yuvi connects with one. Fullish and outside off, Yuvraj gets underneath that and slices it over backward point, the ball bounces couple of times before reaching the fence

12.3 - Jagadeesha Suchith to Yuvraj, FOUR, poor delivery from Suchith. Drags it short and outside leg, Yuvraj goes back and top-edges the pull past the vacant short fine leg region, Bhajji gives chase in vain

9.0 - Malinga to Yuvraj, FOUR, another bumper outside off stump, this time Yuvraj flat-bats the pull and it goes to the right of mid-on. Good finish to the over for DEL

8.5 - Malinga to Yuvraj, FOUR, short ball on the off stump and that's a handsome back foot pull shot from Yuvraj. The ball rocketed through mid-wicket and that's 2000 runs for Yuvraj Singh in T20 League

6.1 - Jagadeesha Suchith to Duminy, FOUR, easily done! Flighted delivery from round the wicket, on the leg stump, Duminy gets to the pitch of the ball and slogs it across the line over mid-wicket for a one bounce hit

5.0 - Vinay to Duminy, FOUR, classy calculated hit, 'catch it' was the call from one of the fielders, but Duminy hit that in the gap. Short of a length delivery on the leg stump, Duminy punches it off the back foot over the bowler's head to end the over on a high

4.0 - McClenaghan to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, good length delivery on the leg stump, Iyer lofts it over mid-on, McClenaghan is furious with himself

3.2 - McClenaghan to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, good length delivery outside off stump, Iyer looks to loft it over cover, but slices it over cover-point

3.1 - McClenaghan to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, not from the middle of the bat but Iyer will take it. Iyer opened himself up to go big, short of length delivery on the leg stump, Iyer swings at that and gets it on the inside half of the bat, the ball goes past mid-on and the fast outfield does the rest

0.4 - Malinga to Duminy, FOUR, in the airrrrr and just over the man at short square leg. Had he been at a conventional square leg position, that would have been an easy catch. Short ball on the leg stump, Duminy goes for the pull, doesn't bother to keep it down and sends it over the infield to get off the mark

17.5 - McClenaghan to Yuvraj, SIX, Yuvraj reaches his fifty. It is his 10th T20 League fifty. He points to someone in the dug-out. Full and on leg-stump, Yuvraj leans forward and plays the pick-up shot, the timing takes it well over the backward square fence. This is the Yuvraj we have all admired

17.4 - McClenaghan to Yuvraj, SIX, McClenaghan delivers this at 151.2kph and Yuvraj sends it soaring over the rope. This is short and on leg-stump, Yuvraj gets inside the line and helps it on the way over fine leg, Bhajji was a mere spectator

15.3 - Pandya to Mathews, SIX, dispatched! DEL need many more of these, if they have to post a big total. Full and on the stumps, Mathews uses his wrists to send the ball sailing over deep mid-wicket for a maximum. That went a long way into the stands

10.1 - Jagadeesha Suchith to K Jadhav, SIX, that's a big hit from Jadhav. Flighted delivery on the off stump, Jadhav gets down on one knee and slog-sweeps it a long way back over the deep mid-wicket boundary

4.5 - Vinay to Duminy, SIX, that's just a flick of the wrists and away she went. Full and in the slot on the leg stump line, Duminy leans forward and flicks it easily over mid-wicket, the ball just clears the rope

3.0 - Vinay to Duminy, SIX, that is a handsome hit from the DEL skipper. He anticipates that Vinay would shape the ball into the left-hander, jumps out of the crease, Vinay tries to drag his length back but it isn't short enough to keep the batsman calm, Duminy swings through the line and lofts it all the way over long-on

19.0 - Malinga to Yuvraj, out Caught by Simmons!! Stunner! The umpires check for a no-ball, but Malinga is fine. It needed a superlative effort to dismiss Yuvraj today and Simmons just pulls off a terrific catch. Short and outside off, Yuvraj hangs back and slices the cut towards backward point, everyone thought he had got the elevation to beat the fielder, but Simmons timed his jump and took a one-handed catch. He goes off on a celebratory run. Actually, he dived full length to his right and was airborne when he took it. That is a spectacular catch. Yuvraj c Simmons b Malinga 57(44) [4s-7 6s-2]

15.4 - Pandya to Mathews, out Caught by Jagadeesha Suchith!! Mathews departs trying to up the ante. He had hit a six of the previous ball, wanted to add another to the score. Pandya bowls it full and just outside off, Mathews toe-ends the loft towards long-off, he got plenty of height but not the distance, Suchith steadies under that and takes it comfortably. DEL have now lost half their side. Mathews c Jagadeesha Suchith b Pandya 12(10) [6s-1]

11.2 - Harbhajan to K Jadhav, out Stumped!! Excellent bowling from Bhajji. He is having a great night. Picks up his second of the game. Jadhav skips out of the crease even before the ball was bowled, Harbhajan pushed it through and beat it attempted cut, Parthiv behind the stumps is quick to whip the bails off. K Jadhav st Parthiv Patel b Harbhajan 16(15) [6s-1]

6.4 - Jagadeesha Suchith to Duminy, out Caught&Bowled!! In the airrrrr and that's a good grab by Suchith. Shortish delivery on the leg stump, Duminy looks to punch off the back foot, but hits it uppishly, the bowler runs to his left, stretches his hands and takes it. This is a massive wicket for MUM as Duminy was looking very good. Duminy was actually looking for a single to long-on but he hit it in the air. Duminy c and b Jagadeesha Suchith 28(19) [4s-3 6s-2]

5.1 - Harbhajan to Shreyas Iyer, out Caught by Vinay!! The change has worked for Mumbai and that's an ugly swipe from Iyer. Flighted delivery on the off stump, Iyer goes for the slog, but gets an outside edge and it is an easy catch for the man at short third man. Iyer has thrown it away. Shreyas Iyer c Vinay b Harbhajan 19(18) [4s-3]

0.1 - Malinga to M Agarwal, out Caught by Parthiv Patel!! What a start for Mumbai. Much like the previous match, Malinga gets a wicket first ball. It was was Virender Sehwag the other day and now it's Mayank Agarwal. Agarwal would not want to see the replay of this delivery. It was such an ugly shot first up. Nothing but a gentle outswinger outside off stump, Agarwal pokes at it away from the body, a really lazy beginning, gets a thick outside edge and Parthiv takes an easy catch. A golden duck for Agarwal. M Agarwal c Parthiv Patel b Malinga 0(1)

3.4 - McClenaghan to Shreyas Iyer, 2 runs, dropped. How costly is that going to be? Short of a length delivery outside off stump, Iyer looks to loft, mistimes it completely, it goes high in the air over cover, Suchith and Pandya run back go for the catch, Pandya tries to take it but juggles and it pops out, the ball then goes to Suchith and he too doesn't manage to hold on. McClenaghan is livid! No one called for the catch and that caused the confusion

18.4 - Coulter-Nile to Rayudu, FOUR, fabulous shot! Rayudu was expecting the ball to be full and outside off, he makes a bit of room and slices it through cover-point, the fielder at sweeper cover had no chance of cutting that off

18.0 - Mathews to Rayudu, FOUR, lucky! That four has got everyone off their seat. It was a low full toss outside off, Rayudu makes room and looks to drive, toe-ends it fine and past the keeper. Jadhav had no chance to his right, third man was also inside the ring

17.1 - Mathews to Rayudu, FOUR, top shot! Once more Rayudu collects a boundary off the first ball of the over. It was a calculated hit from the MUM batsman, shimmies down the wicket, takes it on the full and smacks it over mid-off. He picked his spot there as the fielder was inside the ring

15.0 - Mathews to Rohit, FOUR, friendly full toss from Mathews and Rohit makes him pay. He shovels it wide of long-on, Tahir runs to his right and prefers not to dive, he should have put in the dive and pulled it back in

12.5 - Zaheer to Rayudu, FOUR, a freebie from Zaheer. A full toss outside off, Rayudu took a step out of the crease, that allowed him to go through with the drive, hits it in the air to the right of mid-off, Coulter-Nile dives in vain

11.5 - Tahir to Rohit, FOUR, super shot! Quicker, fuller and on the stumps, Rohit leans forward and flicks it between deep mid-wicket and long-on, Coulter-Nile runs to his right, dives full length and pulls it in, but the ball rolls back and touches the ad cushions

5.1 - Coulter-Nile to Harbhajan, FOUR, hammered! Length delivery right in the slot, Harbhajan stays leg-side of the ball, smashes it through the line over Coulter-Nile's head, beats mid-off to his right with ease

4.1 - Mathews to Parthiv Patel, FOUR, poor delivery from Mathews, starts round the wicket, offers width for the left-hander, Parthiv is quick to pounce on it, he rocks back and cuts it powerfully over backward point

0.3 - Zaheer to Pandya, FOUR, the length is a little short and that allows Pandya to flick it along the ground through backward square leg, fine leg had no chance

19.2 - Tahir to Pollard, SIX, magnificent! What power does he have in those arms? Quicker delivery on the stumps, Pollard just flicks it in the air, it went flat and wide of long-on, the ball had enough to clear the rope. Simmons is on his feet applauding the shot

18.1 - Coulter-Nile to Pollard, SIX, there comes the response from Pollard. The slower delivery right in the slot, Pollard gets his front leg out of the way and heaves it over deep mid-wicket. That was one hell of a hit from Pollard as it went a long way into the stands

16.1 - Zaheer to Rayudu, SIX, Zaheer stats from round the wicket, length delivery at 134kph, right in the slot for Rayudu, who takes a step down and tonks it handsomely over long-on. A much needed six for MUM

15.4 - Mishra to Pollard, SIX, there he goes. Another wrong 'un from Mishra, Pollard doesn't get to the pitch, but still goes through with the shot, even though he didn't time it, the ball cleared the fence comfortably

8.2 - Tahir to Rohit, SIX, pace on the ball and Rohit lofts it handsomely back over the bowler's head. That's gone into the top tier. That was a huge hit from Rohit

5.0 - Mathews to Rohit, SIX, bad follow up delivery. Short and not much venom on that, Rohit goes deep in the crease and pulls it handsomely over deep mid-wicket for a maximum. He once again reminds everyone that he is one of the best pullers of the ball

3.4 - Coulter-Nile to Rohit, SIX, top edge but it's gone all the way. Short delivery on the off stump, Rohit goes on the back foot and looks to pull, swings hard and Coulter-Nile's pace also helped and it just cleared the man at fine leg

15.2 - Mishra to Rohit, out Bowled!! Chopped on! DEL are delighted, they know the importance of that wicket. Rohit goes just after the strategic break. The wrong 'un from Mishra, Rohit didn't pick it, goes back in the crease and cuts, the ball takes the under-edge and crashes into the stumps. He was looking good and should have finished the game. DEL won't mind it one bit. Rohit b Mishra 46(37) [4s-2 6s-3]

5.2 - Coulter-Nile to Harbhajan, out Bowled!! These batting promotions are not working for MUM. Rohit is not happy with that shot. He bangs his bat onto the ground. Fuller and around off, Harbhajan went for a wild swing across the line, the inside edge crashes into off-stump. And with that the rain arrives. Again! Harbhajan b Coulter-Nile 5(4) [4s-1]

4.2 - Mathews to Parthiv Patel, out Caught by Mishra!! Mathews has his man. He is delighted as he runs across to the catcher. Again, it was short and wide of off, Parthiv doesn't bother to keep the cut down the ground, he flays it towards extra cover, where Mishra takes an overhead catch. Looks like MUM are playing for the D/L par score. Parthiv Patel c Mishra b Mathews 13(13) [4s-1]

1.5 - Coulter-Nile to Pandya, out Caught by Tahir!! Bouncer outside off stump, Pandya goes for the pull but mistimes it completely. Both mid-on and mid-wicket were going for the catch, but Tahir, who was running forward from mid-on, called for it and took it well. So the promotion of Hardik Pandya doesn't work for Mumbai. Pandya c Tahir b Coulter-Nile 5(8) [4s-1]

0.1 - Zaheer to Simmons, out Lbw!! That's plumb in front. Excellent delivery from Zaheer. Good length delivery and swinging back, Simmons falls over on the flick, misses and gets hit in line with middle and leg. The umpire had no hesitation in his mind and the finger went up in a flash. Simmons lbw b Zaheer 0(1)

13.5 - Mishra to Rayudu, 1 run, quicker and on the pads, Rayudu steps out of the crease and nudges it to mid-wicket
