19.1 - McClenaghan to Yuvraj, FOUR, deft touch from Yuvraj! He shuffles across the sticks to a fuller length delivery that was bowled from round the wicket by McClenaghan and laps it to the fine leg fence. Wristy wizard on show?

19.0 - Bumrah to Dhawan, FOUR, the slower one from Bumrah, Dhawan helps it around the corner after making room to the fine leg fence. The ball just vroomed away

17.5 - Southee to Dhawan, FOUR, another banged in bumper from wide of the crease, Dhawan gets inside the line of the ball and crunches the pull to the fine leg fence

16.4 - Bumrah to Dhawan, FOUR, low full toss from Bumrah, Dhawan helps it around the corner to deep backward square leg. Runs are coming thick and fast now

16.3 - Bumrah to Dhawan, FOUR, Dhawan is bringing out his pyrotechnics now. Another off-pace ball from Bumrah, Dhawan just scoops it to the fine leg fence

16.1 - Bumrah to Dhawan, FOUR, slower one and very full, Dhawan makes his own width and slices it over the fielders positioned at short third man and backward point

15.5 - McClenaghan to Yuvraj, FOUR, roll-of-the-finger slower delivery from McClenaghan, Yuvraj picks it right from the hand and drives it all along the carpet into the deep extra cover fence

15.3 - McClenaghan to Dhawan, FOUR, fuller length delivery and outside off, Dhawan tries to squeeze it out and gets an edge to the third man fence. Hands on head moment for McClenaghan

14.1 - Pollard to Yuvraj, FOUR, fitting riposte by Yuvraj. The slower one and outside off, Yuvraj, with a touch of royal flourish, drives it to the sweeper cover fence. He did not move his feet, but his quick hands did the trick for him

9.4 - Harbhajan to Warner, FOUR, that's been murdered down the ground. Bit of air on this one, Warner clears his front leg and drills it straight back, Harbhajan withdraws his hand and the ball goes through his legs

9.2 - Harbhajan to Warner, FOUR, Bhajji was bowling outside off all this while to Warner, he gets it around off-stump this time and pulls it in front of square, between deep mid-wicket and long-on

8.4 - Pollard to Dhawan, FOUR, and Pollard has bowled it from way behind the popping crease. Go figure. Hurled wide and slow, Dhawan was looking to back away, then holds himself and reaches out to slice it uppishly over backward point. A dive, a tag-team work attempted in the deep but all of it is not good enough

7.5 - Harbhajan to Dhawan, FOUR, "it split the two Pandyas for a four!" shouts Ravi Shastri on air. Harbhajan was round the wicket to Dhawan, cuffs him for room but Dhawan slides across, fabricates room and gets it past a diving Krunal Pandya at short third man

6.4 - Hardik Pandya to Dhawan, FOUR, that was brilliant from Bumrah at fine leg - ran across, stretched forward with a dive, used a hand to flick it back in but couldn't. This was a butterscoop from Dhawan. On the pads and flicked with lots of bottom hand

5.4 - McClenaghan to Warner, FOUR, he's split the field again! More holes in there than a Swiss cheese. Gets the room (but he doesn't need any, does he?), straightens his elbows and flashes a cut wide of cover. A dive but the shot's much superlative

5.3 - McClenaghan to Warner, FOUR, length ball and Warner goes a full monty after it. Not well-timed agreeably but gosh it ran away. Stayed put and rammed it over extra cover

4.1 - Bumrah to Warner, FOUR, he's looking sublime. Admittedly gets the room outside off as Bumrah welded this length ball with some width. Warner freed his arms and piped the cut between backward point and cover-point

3.4 - Harbhajan to Warner, FOUR, Harbhajan bowled it as well as he could. On the off-stump, no room and got good shoulders on it. But Warner backs away, makes his own room and cuts it from perilously in front of the stumps - through backward point. Lovely stroke

2.0 - McClenaghan to Dhawan, FOUR, there are a few markers to suggest Dhawan's form. This is one of them. The bouncer. Gentle by all means and down leg too, but Dhawan saw it early. Swivelled around and pulled it through fine leg gently

0.1 - Southee to Warner, FOUR, no swing given the short length. Bangs it in on a short of length, Warner stays put and slaps it through cover. Easy. That's a gift for Warner

18.5 - Bumrah to Dhawan, SIX, low full toss from Bumrah, Dhawan brings out the pick-up shot to clear the mid-wicket boundary. He got nice elevation on that stroke and that helped his cause

17.3 - Southee to Yuvraj, SIX, Yuvraj is now exploring every crevice of the ground. Shorter in length. Maybe Southee rolled his fingers on it, Yuvraj pulls it over the mid-wicket boundary. He kept his head very still and did not lose the shape of his shot, on that occasion

14.2 - Pollard to Yuvraj, SIX, Pollard goes sideways and bowls from wide of the crease another off-pace delivery, Yuvraj picks it up easily from the hand and deposits it into the deep mid-wicket fence with a loft

3.2 - Harbhajan to Warner, SIX, holy smoke! Loops this up outside off, gets good bounce but Warner is Warner. Swung his bat like an axe and slog-swept it over cow corner

19.4 - McClenaghan to Yuvraj, out Hit Wkt!! Holy moly! In his 100th T20 League game, Yuvraj has been dismissed hit-wicket. However, he has played a breezy innings and certainly lifted HYD's tempo. Yuvraj's tendency to move across the sticks too much perhaps cost him his wicket there. McClenaghan sees Yuvraj shuffling around and bowls it full and outside off, Yuvraj goes too far back and chops it onto his stumps. Yuvraj hit wkt b McClenaghan 39(23) [4s-3 6s-2]

11.3 - Harbhajan to Williamson, out Caught by Rohit!! The usually calm and collected Williamson has been sent back to the hutch by a street-smart piece of bowling from Harbhajan. With an impish guile, Harbhajan flights it tantalisingly and gets it to dip on Williamson, the batsman is early into his tuck and works it to Rohit at mid-wicket, who dives forward and pouches the catch inches above the ground. Williamson c Rohit b Harbhajan 2(5)

9.5 - Harbhajan to Warner, out Caught by Pollard!! Oh, he perishes now. This over the wicket angle to Warner has paid dividends. Slides it wide outside off, Warner - instead of going squarer - aims for a thrash extra cover. Mistimes it, fails to pack a punch and holes out to long-off. Warner c Pollard b Harbhajan 48(33) [4s-7 6s-1]

18.2 - Bumrah to Dhawan, 1 run, Parthiv was certainly anticipating the scoop shot from Dhawan, but he needs to be a few inches taller to get to that one. The slower one from Bumrah, Dhawan awkwardly scoops it over the keeper to steal a single

15.4 - McClenaghan to Dhawan, 1 run, shorter in length and angled in, Dhawan pulls it to deep mid-wicket. With it, Dhawan has cracked yet another fifty this season

5.5 - McClenaghan to Warner, 1 run, crashed to sweeper cover to bring the 50 up

16.0 - Bhuvneshwar to Harbhajan, FOUR, that's an early Christmas gift. Full toss serving into the pads, Harbhajan just flicks it away through mid-wicket and Dhawan fails to intercept it in the deep. 86 runs in 24 balls (Sigh!)

14.1 - Barinder to Bumrah, FOUR, loops this slow and across the batsman...who allows it to dip and then squeezes it out to the third man fence

13.1 - Mustafizur to McClenaghan, FOUR, this is a good shot. Mustafizur sees the batsman making room and hurled wide of off, McClenaghan switches around and ramps it through fine leg

12.3 - Henriques to Harbhajan, FOUR, sees the width, throws his bat at it and ekes out an inside edge that shaves the leg-stump

7.3 - Barinder to Pollard, FOUR, shorter in length, Pollard takes a step out of the crease and pulls it to the deep backward square leg fence. It tailored between two fielders in the deep with clockwork precision

7.1 - Barinder to Pollard, FOUR, Barinder bowls it across the seam and outside off, Pollard does not get the loft anywhere near the sweet spot of the willow, but it races away to the long-off fence

3.0 - Bhuvneshwar to Krunal Pandya, FOUR, this time, with a concoction of timing and placement, Pandya drives it through the heavily packed cover-region and into the fences

2.3 - Bhuvneshwar to Rayudu, FOUR, Bhuvneshwar aims for another inswinger, but drifts it down leg, Rayudu whips it to the mid-wicket fence

2.0 - Nehra to Krunal Pandya, FOUR, Nehra bends his back and bangs it short, Pandya, though, gets inside the line of the ball and pulls it to the fine leg boundary. He perhaps got a top-edge on that one

0.1 - Bhuvneshwar to Rohit, FOUR, the inswinger that goes wrong, as Bhuvneshwar bowls it down leg, Rohit neatly flicks it to the fine leg fence

3.2 - Nehra to Krunal Pandya, SIX, with an extension of his forward defence, Pandya lofts it into the downtown territories. He held his pose after playing that shot

16.3 - Barinder to Bumrah, out Caught by N Ojha!! That's it. Hyderabad win by a whooping 85 runs. And this is not a loss for Mumbai, it's a mortification. Cutter slid across the batsman, Bumrah flirts with it looking for a run-down to third man, skews it off the outside edge and Ojha dives to collect it. Courtesy this win, Hyderabad helicopter their way to the top of the points table. Only fair. Bumrah c N Ojha b Barinder 6(9) [4s-1]

14.0 - Mustafizur to McClenaghan, out Caught by Henriques!! This was always coming. One wicket away, Hyderabad now. Mustafizur takes the pace off this one, McClenaghan looks to flick it away. Closed the bat face early to make it worse, popped a leading edge and mid-wicket backtracked to pouch it reverse-cupped. Henriques had called it early there. McClenaghan c Henriques b Mustafizur 8(9) [4s-1]

11.1 - Mustafizur to Southee, out Caught by N Ojha!! You know what, this isn't a match. This is a startup that deals in wickets. 58/8, can you believe? Mustafizur rolls his fingers across on this cutter that's bowled full, Southee throws his bat at it - looking to go across the line - and edges it behind to the keeper. Didn't hear a noise, thanks to the crowd, but the umpire almost raised his finger instantaneously. Southee c N Ojha b Mustafizur 3(4)

9.1 - Mustafizur to Hardik Pandya, out Caught by N Ojha!! Pandya is bemused with the decision. He has no other option, but to take a slow walk back. Back of a length delivery and angled away, Pandya tries to guide it to third man and perhaps got an inkling of an outside edge to the keeper, who moved to his right to grab it gleefully. It was the left-armer's angle that paid rich dividends for the bowler. Hmm, the snicko now does not show much. Maybe a tickle? Hardik Pandya c N Ojha b Mustafizur 7(16)

8.4 - Henriques to Pollard, out Caught by Barinder!! With a slightly round arm action, Henriques ushers in a good length delivery and outside off, Pollard attempts to lift it over long-on, but gets it off the toe-end. Barinder settles under it to snaffle the catch at shoulder height. HYD are all over MUM like a rash. Pollard c Barinder b Henriques 11(13) [4s-2]

4.2 - Barinder to Krunal Pandya, out Caught by Dhawan!! MUM's batsmen are virtually falling like nine pins now! Back of a length delivery and Barinder gets good height on it, Pandya goes back a touch and awkwardly tucks it off the toe-end to Dhawan at mid-wicket. Barinder hit the bat hard there and extracted good bounce. Krunal Pandya c Dhawan b Barinder 17(11) [4s-2 6s-1]

4.0 - Nehra to Buttler, out Caught by N Ojha!! MUM are in all sorts of trouble. It is the Lancastrian, Buttler, who has now been dismissed. Nehra outfoxed him by getting this one to angle away from the right-hander, Buttler tamely pokes at it and Ojha dives to his right to pluck the catch. Superb take by him. Buttler c N Ojha b Nehra 2(2)

3.4 - Nehra to Rayudu, out Caught by Williamson!! Well, HYD continue to whittle away at the opposition ranks. Nehra, with good wheels, pounds it on a shortish length, Rayudu jumps in the air, in an attempt to keep it out and gets it off the splice to Williamson at backward point, who runs back and takes it calmly. Rayudu c Williamson b Nehra 6(6) [4s-1]

1.1 - Nehra to Rohit, out Bowled!! Now, the captain has been chugged down as Nehra gets the big fish. Undoubtedly, he is chuffed to bits. Nehra draws the batsman forward and gets it to swing away a touch, Rohit looks to drive with cemented feet and ekes out an inside edge onto the middle stick. Lovely stuff from the veteran pacer. Rohit b Nehra 5(3) [4s-1]

1.0 - Bhuvneshwar to Parthiv Patel, out Lbw!! Bhuvneshwar's uncanny ability to swing it both ways with subtle changes of wrist has done the trick for him. When Bhuvneshwar is in good form, he virtually seems to have the ball on a string. The inswinger from Bhuvneshwar, Parthiv looks to tuck it around the corner and is rapped on the pads. Bhuvneshwar's appeal was answered in the affirmative. The ball was likely crashing into the middle-stump. Even though, Parthiv perhaps thought it might have missed the stumps. Parthiv Patel lbw b Bhuvneshwar 0(4)

12.5 - Henriques to McClenaghan, no run, I have seen it all. McClenaghan reversed his stance again, Henriques banged in short and McClenaghan played a pull as he lowered into the ground. Not timed, obviously
