That is par if ever there was par. Mumbai are not playing their A team in the bowling, but equally Sunrisers middle- and lower-middle orders are suspect. Excellent team effort by SRH bowler in conditions that they are used to of late, but then Pollard in the end throwing a spanner in the works with four sixes in the end. Jason Holder says they would have taken 150 if offered at the start of the innings

Have Sunrisers done enough to book their playoffs berth? Give us a shout on our rolling report

Holder to Kulkarni, 2 runs, oh good to see. Sight for sore eyes. Batsmen not worrying about their not-outs and running the extra run off the last ball. And it doesn't matter than Warner's throw from long-on has hit Kularni in the helmet as he looks to complete the second. He hasn't changed direction so there is no appeal for obstruction

Holder to Pattinson, 1 run, low wide full toss, driven hard to square third man for one

Matt Roller is not surprised at all that Pollard has given MI a target to bowl at. KKR is of course a sister team of his TKR team after all

Holder to Kulkarni, 1 run, slower ball, on a length, slugged to deep square leg for one

Holder to Pollard, OUT, Holder with the three-fingered salute again. He has Pollard. This wicket is worth 10-15 runs. And he seems to have got really lucky. This is a plum full toss, and not even a slower one. Pollard is early into the shot, looks to drag this to leg, and is still early into it. Bowled

Holder to Pollard, SIX, yorker gone horribly wrong. Straight full toss, and Pollard flicks it over square leg for six. This is nonchalant six hitting

Holder to Pollard, no run, wide on the crease, low full toss, Pollard gets only the cue of the stick. Refuses the single

Holder to bowl now. Can he use all his international experience to good effect here?

Natarajan to Pollard, 1 run, yorker, and this is straighter than the last lbw appeal, but seems he has toe-ended this into his boot. He also gets the single to retain strike

Natarajan to Pollard, SIX, thrice as nice. Blows to give KKR some oxygen. Wide low full toss, and this time Pollard goes straight down the ground and clears both the long-offs with ease. Breaks his bat in the process

Natarajan to Pollard, SIX, oh Pollard. That is why he is among the greatest T20 players ever. He has put the fear in the bowler's mind. Gets a low full toss this time, and gets inside the line to loft him over deep midwicket
18.3
6
Natarajan to Pollard, SIX, there are two long-offs in place and Pollard has hit this to the wider of the long-offs. Pandey gets under it, and Warner is next to him for the rebound. Pandey has to leap and take this overhead, but it slips through. Just a touch too high perhaps

Natarajan to Pollard, no run, Pollard walks practically halfway down the pitch, is hit in front of the wicket, but these are so hard to give. They review. I am sure the 3m thing will come into play here. And the Ultra-Edge shows a scratch anyway as the ball passes the bat. So the review is lost

Four men behind square are all in the circle, and the straight field is very straight

Full and straight, beats him, trapped in front. Given out. Reviewed by Pollard. Pollard has shuffled across this time rather than play his usual shot down the ground because of the field set, and because he is playing across the line, he is beaten. However, the replay shows the ball is pitched outside leg. Decision overturned

18.1
1
Natarajan to Pattinson, 1 run, down the wicket to take this on the full, takes a single to deep cover

Two big overs for SRH. If Natarajan and Holder finish off well, they will have done their job of giving the batsmen a below-par chase. I am sure they would have taken anything under 140 if offered at the toss. Can they keep Mumbai to that?

Holder to Pattinson, no run, yorker from that great height. Garner-like. But at slower pace. Dug out back to him

James Pattinson is in now. He is a left-hand batsman. Holder goes round the wicket

Holder to Coulter-Nile, OUT, slower ball, in the slot, outside off. Seems like Coulter-Nile is expecting a quick yorker, and picks it late, and it is too late by the time he goes for the aerial cover-drive. Caught at extra cover. Hundred T20 wickets for Holder
