19.1 - Dwayne Bravo to Harbhajan, FOUR, good length delivery outside off stump, Harbhajan slices the cut shot over backward point, there was no one in the deep and it bounced just inside the rope

18.3 - Mohit Sharma to Pollard, FOUR, slower delivery outside off stump, Pollard gets down on one knee and fetches the slog sweep, hit very hard as always, Jadeja runs to his left, tries to stop it with one hand but palms it for four

17.5 - Dwayne Bravo to Rayudu, FOUR, Bravo loses control of this one, goes as a friendly full toss down the leg-side, Rayudu helps it on its way for four past short fine leg

12.4 - Negi to Rohit, FOUR, that's nicely played by Rohit, Negi shortened the length and gets it to spin across the batsman, he waits on it, opens the face of the bat and runs it past Ashwin at short third man for a boundary

9.1 - Mohit Sharma to Simmons, FOUR, this is turning out to be a wonderful start! Simmons shortens the length by jumping down the track, makes room and swats it past extra cover, beats the man getting across from the deep

8.3 - Negi to Parthiv Patel, FOUR, more runs for Parthiv, a bit of luck here, this was tossed up and way outside off, Parthiv was looking to sweep, gets a bottom edge that goes right through MS' legs

8.2 - Negi to Parthiv Patel, FOUR, lovely shot, Negi dropped one short and well outside off, Parthiv makes room and cuts it in front of square on the off-side, the man is the deep is very square and the ball races away to the fence for a boundary

5.2 - Nehra to Parthiv Patel, FOUR, that's easy pickings for Parthiv, on a length and angling back into the left-hander, Parthiv swings it through the line and gets it past Bravo at short fine leg, races to the fence in a jiffy

3.1 - Nehra to Simmons, FOUR, lovely shot, tad fuller and just outside off, Simmons stays leg side and blasts it back past the non-striker, no chance for the fielder at mid-off, the ball races away to the fence

2.0 - Nehra to Simmons, FOUR, the extra delivery has cost Nehra, Simmons is a tad lucky though, this was pitched up and in that zone outside off, Simmons was late as he looked to run it down towards third man, gets an inside edge and the ball races away past the leg-stump, first boundary for Simmons

0.4 - Ashwin to Parthiv Patel, FOUR, Ashwin has his hands on his head, this was tossed up and spun slightly across Parthiv, he waited on that, opens the face of the bat very late and runs it through the vacant slip region. Third man gives chase but the ball beats him to the fence

19.3 - Dwayne Bravo to Pollard, SIX, what a shot from Pollard. Full and on the leg stump, Pollard plays a flick, just a flick of the wrists, so much power in that shot, it goes flat, Faf flies, literally flies to his right at long-on but it evades him

19.0 - Mohit Sharma to Pollard, SIX, the extra delivery has cost Mohit Sharma and CHN badly. Slower delivery just outside off stump, Pollard slogs and clears the deep mid-wicket boundary

17.3 - Dwayne Bravo to Pollard, SIX, that's not timed properly, but it goes all the way. Slower delivery angled away across the right-hander from round the wicket, Pollard fetches the slog, doesn't find the middle of the bat and it goes way back over deep mid-wicket

15.0 - Negi to Pollard, SIX, gee! That's a powerful blow from Pollard. Negi tries to find the blockhole, but misses his length, Pollard muscles the loft, hit very hard and it sails flat over long-on. Negi leaks 16 runs in that over

14.3 - Negi to Pollard, SIX, effortless from Pollard and he's a strong man! Flighted delivery from Negi, Pollard dances down the track, gets to the pitch of the ball and just plays an extended flick, hits it in the air and it sails over deep mid-wicket

14.0 - Ravindra Jadeja to Rohit, SIX, flighted delivery, Rohit advances and gets close to the pitch of the ball and lofts it handsomely over long-on. That went over the sightscreen

11.4 - Mohit Sharma to Simmons, SIX, that's massive from Simmons, on a good length and well outside off, Simmons gets a big stride forward, swings it through the line and sends it high and over long-off for a maximum

8.1 - Negi to Parthiv Patel, SIX, Parthiv joins the act, a little shimmy down the track, shortens the length of the ball and plays a half pull/half loft over wide long-on, clears the ropes for a maximum

7.3 - Ravindra Jadeja to Simmons, SIX, Simmons is dealing in sixes tonight! This was pushed through flatter and quicker, Simmons clears his left leg and sends it high and over long-on for a maximum, his fourth in this innings

4.3 - Ashwin to Simmons, SIX, Simmons breaks the shackles! This was tossed up and on the middle stump line, Simmons made room and went back over the bowler's head, didn't look like he timed it all that well, but it went sailing over the sight screen

19.4 - Dwayne Bravo to Pollard, out Caught by Raina!! End of an excellent cameo from Pollard. Bravo gets his third wicket. Slower delivery wide outside off stump, Pollard tries to fetch the slog, loses the bottom hand grip, slices it high in the air off the toe-end of the bat, long-off runs forward and takes a simple catch. Pollard c Raina b Dwayne Bravo 41(17) [4s-1 6s-5]

18.5 - Mohit Sharma to Rayudu, out Caught by Raina!! The slower delivery from Mohit Sharma, Rayudu tries to tonk it over the boundary, but mistimes it completely, long-on, who was very wide, has a good look at it and reverse-cups it before tumbling onto the ground. Rayudu c Raina b Mohit Sharma 10(8) [4s-1]

16.1 - Nehra to Pandya, out Caught by Ravindra Jadeja!! Jadeja takes another good catch. It was in the air for a long time but he judged it to perfection. Nothing but a short of length delivery on the leg stump, Pandya mistimes the slog completely, Jadeja runs forward from deep mid-wicket and takes it with both hands. He sticks his tongue out as he celebrates the wicket with Suresh Raina. Pandya c Ravindra Jadeja b Nehra 1(2)

15.4 - Dwayne Bravo to Rohit, out Caught by Ravindra Jadeja!! Big wicket for CHN. Slower delivery just outside off stump, Rohit advances and slogs, gets it off the toe-end of the bat, deep mid-wicket settles under it and takes an easy catch. The crowd goes silent and Rohit looks at the bottom of the bat as he walks off the field. Rohit c Ravindra Jadeja b Dwayne Bravo 19(14) [4s-1 6s-1]

13.4 - Ravindra Jadeja to Simmons, out Caught by Negi!! That is a very good catch from Negi. Jadeja bowls this full and wide outside off stump, Simmons looks to drive inside-out, but slices it completely, the man at sweeper runs forwards, bends low and takes it very well. End of a fine innings from Simmons. Probably, MUM won't mind this wicket as a fresh Pollard will walk in now. Simmons was looking a bit tired out there. Simmons c Negi b Ravindra Jadeja 65(51) [4s-3 6s-5]

10.4 - Dwayne Bravo to Parthiv Patel, out Caught by Ravindra Jadeja!! 21st wicket of the season for Bravo! Once again it's that slower ball, Parthiv had made room outside leg, he didn't spot the slower ball early, ends up chipping it high and towards long-on. Jadeja runs in from the deep and takes a simple catch. A much needed wicket for CHN, breaks the handy opening stand. Parthiv Patel c Ravindra Jadeja b Dwayne Bravo 35(25) [4s-4 6s-1]

19.2 - Dwayne Bravo to Harbhajan, 1 run, dropped. That should have been taken by Faf's standards. Full and on the stumps, Harbhajan drills it hard, long-on runs forward and dives, tries to take a low catch, but spills it. It was a tough chance though

8.4 - Negi to Parthiv Patel, no run, was that a chance? It was, but would have been a stunner had Negi caught it. It was absolutely laced back and to the right of the bowler, he dived and got both hands, but can't hold on

17.0 - Nehra to Pollard, no run, almost a run-out. Yorker outside off stump, Pollard digs it out towards mid-off, Mohit Sharma runs forward from extra-cover and under-arms the ball, Rayudu took off for the run but Pollard sent him back, luckily for MUM, the throw missed the stumps. Nehra does well with the back up as well

9.5 - Mohit Sharma to Simmons, 2 runs, slower off-cutter from Mohit, Simmons works it past square leg. Poor fielding from Nehra, loses the ball from his hands and allows a second run, another fifty for Simmons

6.2 - Negi to Simmons, 1 run, Negi tosses one on Simmons' pads, tucked away to the left of short fine leg for a single

2.1 - Ashwin to Parthiv Patel, 1 run, more luck for MUM, both batsmen started and then stopped midway, Ashwin followed Parthiv as he backed away, pushed to the right of the bowler. Parthiv set-off for a quick single, he stopped as he saw Ashwin dive and make a half-stop. Simmons was committed for a run and Parthiv hares across, the throw is at the wrong end, both batsmen make it safely

17.0 - Malinga to Ashwin, FOUR, Ashwin tries to put the bowler off by showing that he wants to back away, Malinga bowls it full outside off, Ashwin pushes at it, gets an outside edge that runs away to the left of short third man, who had no chance of cutting that off

16.3 - Malinga to Ashwin, FOUR, Ashwin leans forward and lofts this fullish delivery over mid-off, the ball runs away to the fence

14.3 - Pollard to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR, that's a poor ball from Pollard, he bowled it from way behind the stumps, gives Jadeja enough width outside off, he cuts it and sends it in the gap between backward point and short third man, the ball runs away to the fence

13.3 - Jagadeesha Suchith to Dwayne Bravo, FOUR, flatter outside off, Bravo goes on the back foot and looks to cut, gets an outside edge that flies away to the third man fence. It would have gone straight to the fielder at slip, had there been one

11.5 - Jagadeesha Suchith to Dwayne Bravo, FOUR, low full toss on the pads, Bravo flicks it in the air over mid-wicket, the ball rolls away to the fence in no time

9.0 - Harbhajan to du Plessis, FOUR, shortish and outside off stump, du Plessis goes on the back and punches it hard past the diving fielder at extra-cover, McClenaghan dives to his right in the deep, gets a hand on it but it escapes

5.0 - McClenaghan to du Plessis, FOUR, oh this is a classy shot and McClenaghan is having a bad day at the office. Short of a length delivery on the off stump, du Plessis gets across the sticks and helps it on its way past the man at short fine leg

4.3 - McClenaghan to du Plessis, FOUR, this is a fine hit from du Plessis, he's looking very good. Short of a length delivery on the off stump from round the wicket, Faf hangs back and pulls it handsomely over mid-wicket

4.2 - McClenaghan to du Plessis, FOUR, edged but there is no one at slip. Short of a length delivery outside off stump, du Plessis looks to cut, gets a thick edge and it flies away fine to the third man boundary

1.5 - McClenaghan to du Plessis, FOUR, this has been a poor start from McClenaghan, short and on du Plessis' hips, he gets inside the line, rolls his wrists over and pulls it behind square on the on-side for a boundary

1.1 - McClenaghan to M Hussey, FOUR, poor ball from McClenaghan, bangs this one short and on the stumps, Hussey swivels across, rolls his wrists and pulls it behind square on the on-side for a boundary

17.5 - McClenaghan to Ashwin, SIX, that's a meaty blow. This was a length ball on off, Ashwin lofts through the line and sends it way back over the long-on fence

17.1 - McClenaghan to Ravindra Jadeja, SIX, in the air and six! It was a length ball outside off, Jadeja lofts it high in the air, didn't quite get it off the middle of the bat. Pollard jumps at the long-on fence but the ball just about evades him and falls over the rope

13.2 - Jagadeesha Suchith to Dwayne Bravo, SIX, comes down the track to this tossed up delivery on middle and leg, tonks it way over the long-off fence

8.3 - Harbhajan to Raina, SIX, good hit from Raina. The key to that shot was he presented the full face of the bat instead of playing across the line. Flighted delivery on the leg stump, Raina uses his feet, gets to the pitch of the ball and lofts it nicely over long-on

5.5 - Vinay to Raina, SIX, that is a muscular blow from Raina. Short of a length delivery on the off stump, Raina pulls it right from the middle of the bat, he timed it so sweetly and it sailed over the deep mid-wicket boundary

3.2 - Vinay to M Hussey, SIX, cracking shot, fraction too short from Vinay, Hussey is quick to swivel back and helps it on its way, straight into the VIP box over the deep square leg ropes

1.4 - McClenaghan to du Plessis, SIX, lovely shot! Fraction too full and just outside off, Faf gets a good stride forward, presents a straight bat and lofts it high and over mid-on, hits the boundary board on the full, first six of the chase

19.0 - Malinga to Nehra, out Caught by Simmons!! MUM are through to the final! They have booked their flight to Kolkata. A comprehensive win in the end for Mumbai. Coming back to the ball, it was a slower delivery from Malinga, Nehra goes early into the slog, Simmons at deep backward square leg takes an easy catch after running in to his left. Nehra c Simmons b Malinga 0(1)

18.4 - Malinga to Ashwin, out Caught by Rayudu!! Ashwin can't do it for CHN and MUM are closing in on another win. The umpires check for the front foot no-ball, but Malinga is fine on that count. This was bowled full on the stumps once again, Ashwin slogs across the line after backing away and fails to connect with it properly, deep mid-wicket runs in and takes a simple catch. Ashwin c Rayudu b Malinga 23(12) [4s-2 6s-1]

17.2 - McClenaghan to Ravindra Jadeja, out Caught by Jagadeesha Suchith!! That could well be the final nail in the coffin. It was full and outside off, Jadeja lofts it inside-out over cover but doesn't quite hit the gap, Suchith from sweeper cover runs forward, dives and takes a good low catch. Ravindra Jadeja c Jagadeesha Suchith b McClenaghan 19(10) [4s-1 6s-1]

15.3 - Vinay to Negi, out Caught by (sub)Chand!! MUM are cruising to the final here. Another one bites the dust. It was full and outside off, Negi goes for the loft and wanted to clear mid-off, doesn't get the required elevation, Chand at mid-off moves to his left and takes the catch. Negi c (sub)Chand b Vinay 3(3)

14.5 - Pollard to Ravindra Jadeja, out Dwayne Bravo Run Out!! 1 run completed. This is disastrous from CHN. Bravo would have made his ground had he ran fast, but jogging while going for the second run has brought about his downfall. It was banged in short and Jadeja pulls it behind square on the on-side, McClenaghan runs in from the deep, picks up the ball and fires the throw at the striker's end. Jadeja was running to the striker's end and makes it back in time. Parthiv though knew that Bravo was not running the second run fast as he was busy ball watching, he quickly fires a direct-hit at the non-striker's end to catch the West Indian short. Dwayne Bravo run out (McClenaghan/Parthiv Patel) 20(15) [4s-2 6s-1]

13.5 - Jagadeesha Suchith to du Plessis, out Caught by Vinay!! This is a big, big wicket for MUM. du Plessis makes his way to the hut. Half the Chennai side is out now. This one was tossed up on the stumps, du Plessis comes down the track and looks to go big over long-on, doesn't get under it properly, long-on runs forward and takes a simple catch. du Plessis c Vinay b Jagadeesha Suchith 45(34) [4s-5 6s-1]

10.3 - Harbhajan to Dhoni, out Lbw!! This is a great over for MUM. It's two-in-two and Harbhajan is on a hat-trick. Flighted delivery from Harbhajan, Dhoni gets down on one knee and tries to sweep, the ball drifts in and foxes Dhoni, he misses the ball and the ball hits him in line with middle stump. Umpire Richard Illingworth raised his finger in a flash. Harbhajan is pumped and his team-mates surround him to celebrate as roars. Dhoni lbw b Harbhajan 0(1)

10.2 - Harbhajan to Raina, out Caught&Bowled!! That's a soft dismissal and MUM love it. This is a massive wicket. Flighted delivery from Harbhajan, Raina was looking to drive it towards long-on, checks his shot and ends up chipping it up in the air, Harbhajan moves to his left and takes an easy catch. Raina c and b Harbhajan 25(20) [6s-2]

5.1 - Vinay to M Hussey, out Caught by Parthiv Patel!! "Come on" says Vinay as he roars and pumps his fist in delight. These two were looking to take the game away from MUM, but Vinay has got the breakthrough at the right time. Short of a length delivery outside off stump, Hussey dances down the track and looks to cut, gets a thick edge and Parthiv takes a dolly. M Hussey c Parthiv Patel b Vinay 16(11) [4s-1 6s-1]

0.4 - Malinga to Dwayne Smith, out Lbw!! Smith has been given OUT LBW, but was it slipping down the leg-side? This was the slower full toss from Malinga, nipped back into Smith after wobbling in the air. Smith played all around it, missed and is hit on the pads, was it hitting the leg-stump? Umpire Illingworth certainly thought so, sends Smith packing for a duck. Dwayne Smith lbw b Malinga 0(4)

11.0 - Harbhajan to Dwayne Bravo, no run, dropped. That was a dolly. What an over, should have been three wickets, but that's gone right through. Flatter delivery outside off stump, Bravo punches it uppishly, Harbhajan tries to reverse-cup it to his left, but spills it. Harbhajan is in some pain and he is off the field. He's bleeding and it looks like he's split the webbing. The physio is currently pouring water on the wound

3.4 - Vinay to du Plessis, 2 runs, Malinga has dropped a dolly, Vinay looks disappointed, this was full and just outside off, du Plessis cleared his front leg and threw his bat at that, gets a thick outside edge and towards third man. Malinga was underneath the skier, the ball pops through his hands, hits his left thigh and drops in front of him
