Himanshu will be with you soon.

7.45pm Punjab Kings would've liked to reach 150, but 135 will be accepted after the middle-order woes. The half-century stand between Markram (42) and Hooda (28) very crucial for the side today.

The big positive for Mumbai was Krunal Pandya's bowling. Took 1 for 24 as a new-ball bowler. Pollard's two-for too.

Krunal Pandya: "We bowled really well. Wicket is actually good for batting. Our 20 overs of execution was spot on. Bowling in the powerplay as a spinner is not easy, but just being one step ahead of the process. Need to play normal cricket. We would've taken 136 at the start of the game. Slight dew, but wicket is good for batting."

Coulter-Nile to Ellis, 2 runs, low full toss on middle. Driven to long on, and the throw from the deep is wayward. Allows them to take two and Punjab Kings made 135 for 6

It's been an excellent spell for Coulter-Nile. Actually great for all Mumbai bowlers except Trent Boult

Bumrah to Harpreet Brar, 2 runs, put down! Full on leg stump. Looks to slog leg side, but it's a 130kph ball. Mistimed, ball in the air, and two fielders run to midwicket for a catch. Bumrah runs from the pitch, Suryakumar runs from deep midwicket. No collision, but Suryakumar drops the difficult chance

Bumrah to Hooda, OUT, miles in the air and taken by Pollard at wide long on. Full, almost in the slot, and he looks to hit a six over extra cover. Timing isn't perfect, has the elevation but not the distance. Pollard takes a reverse-cup catch

DJ Hooda c Pollard b Bumrah 28 (50m 26b 1x4 1x6) SR: 107.69

Brar at 8 off 15. Would Shami have been a better batter at the death? Brar has struggled.

Ashay: "How often do you see, bowler taken off post taking 2 wickets in an over." -- Pollard? Reckon Rohit wanted to play mind games with Gayle by having a fellow West Indian bowl. Once that wicket (and another) was achieved, think he thought Pollard's job is done
