Apoorv: "@Pavan, Neesham and Tiwary sound better perhaps on low scoring pitches I feel."

Pavan: "A non-bowling Hardik is really touch and go for MI. Replace him with Lynn may be ? and a struggling Ishan with Saurabh.."

Chief Selector: "Absolutely stunning to watch two stalwarts putting up powerful show. Both Shami and Rohit showed today how impactful they are. Eager to see them in the world cup. "

Rishi: "Can we take a moment to appreciate how well Shami bowled at the death?"

KLPR: "34/4 in last 5 overs. That is picture perfect finish from PBKS bowlers . "

Vikash: "Mumbai has been extremely lucky this year with their low scoring games... they definitely should have lost against KKR and SRH. They are simply not the dominant team that they were in their previous versions...This game too should be a loss but you never know..."

In 2016, a freak knee injury abruptly ended wrestler Vinesh Phogat's run at the Rio Olympics. Now, as she prepares for the Tokyo Games, she's going in with fresh optimism. "I'm now in the sport for myself, for the joy of wrestling," she says.

9.13pm This is a top bowling innings from Punjab Kings. They came with some radical plans, bowling Henriques and Hooda at the top, and it translated into a soft powerplay for Mumbai. Mumbai's top three can't be accused of trying to find a way to score though, they really got into a shell until Rohit opened up in partnership with SKY, who was proactive as ever. But once they were separated, Punjab have done superbly. Mumbai seemed to have done enough to get 140-150, but they are well short. Back soon for the chase.

Mohammed Shami to KH Pandya, OUT, oh superb work from Pooran at sweeper cover! Slower ball, short and turning away outside off. Backs away and cuts aerially. Pooran tracks it to his left, keeps his eyes on it, and dives with the perfect timing to grab it before tumbling softly in his landing to keep it

SRIK: "19.2 - K.Pollards stops delivering ball while he is bowling, but when he bats, he is crossing the line before bowler delivers it."

Arshdeep Singh to Pollard, SIX, a two-handed forehand over long-off! Sheer power that. It's a slower ball, short and wide outside off. Not easy to just muscle that, let alone over the straight boundary. But those rules do no apply to Pollard

Mohammed Shami to Sharma, OUT, whipped straight to deep square. Low full toss at middle stump, gets low and whips this flat.
