9.29pm Ready for the chase and the same opening pair for KKR. Trent Boult with the ball. Two slips in place.

Sampath from the stats teams tells us that a five-for in 12 balls is not new in this league: "Ishant Sharma also took his 5th wicket in 12 balls vs Kochi". Joint-quickest five-for from Andre Russell.

Rishi: "The most freakish thing is that last over was a decent over for Mumbai."

Debasis: "Being an ardent MI fan, it's getting bit annoying seeing opponent team bowlers getting fifers repeatedly. Well bowled DreRuss though. "

Siddhartha: "That's 2 fifers in 2 games after 200 games of nothing :3" --- Against Mumbai Indians, he means. And he is right.

9.14pm Sweet, sweet performance from KKR tonight. They have done superbly after SKY took the game away from them in the first half. Morgan always has plans, and today they've worked out to perfection. Cummins with the big wickets in the middle overs and a nice little finish from Russell. Shakib kept them in it while SKY was going berserk, and it has all paid off well in the end. Back with you shortly for the chase.

On a hat-trick, five-for in his sights, and No. 11 walks out. Life's pretty good for Dre Russ...

Bezz: "It's true that MI are still a star-studded squad and will always be formidable opponents. Its also true that when a couple of their key players are neutralized, they start looking a lot more beatable. "

ML: "Morgan doesn't seem to be talking to his bowlers as much as last year? Or is it just the TV cameras not focusing on it so much now? " --- He did have a chat after the leg-bye boundary in the last over

Siddhartha: "People mentioning Mumbai's players looking rusty. Isn't that the case for all teams though? I mean Mumbai's Indian contingent actually played more cricket so shouldn't it be otherwise?"

Azweer: "That must be Rohit's slowest sixer ever in a T20 game. In terms of number of balls faced..!!" --- Bit late on this, but Shiva from our stats team has an answer: Not even in his top 10. his latest came off the 47th ball, against Delhi in the 2016 season

Naveed: "Yes Russells pace is in the 130s but he still bowls a 'heavy ball' I doubt many batsmen enjoy facing him"

Rudra Varma: "There's nothing wrong with this MI team. It's just the 2nd game and some of their top players look rusty as of now and that's about it. They are the same champion team which won all those IPL titles and which was being praised as better than the Indian national T20I team not so many days ago. So let's not worry about their stability just yet please!!"
Karthik: "Think it was Steyn who mentioned on cricinfo how much of a role Morgan's captaincy played in the first win. I am sure support staff help him but he has maneuvered his resources brilliantly! With Archer, Wood, Rashid at his disposal and an exciting batting line-up, England should surely be contenders for the WC!"

Going over the wicket to Krunal, same field as for the right handers

Prinesh Govende: "Russell has an extremely niche bowling role - can you please explain/enlighten?" --- He's probably their best bowler in terms of hitting the blockhole. Probably doesn't have the knees to be a regular four-overs bowler through a season. So he bowls two, around the wicket, wide yorkers, two fielders in the deep on the off side - a tough angle to score against. Pace is in the 130s these days, but he's pretty accurate

Forecaster said 156 before that wicket, 151 now

Russell now to do his role at the death. Around the wicket with point back as usual.

sujit: "Mumbai's stability seems to have become a handicap in this IPL. Teams can plan against their star batsmen whose strengths and weaknesses have been more or less same over the years. Maybe reshuffling the batting order will help."
