5.17pm Royals can't touch 200, despite a century from Buttler. Excellent death-bowling from Bumrah and Mills has kept them to 193 for 8. Royals have a potent bowling line-up, but Mumbai will still fancy their chances of chasing this down. Here is the man of the moment Buttler: "It's a great feeling and nice to contribute it. Good score or not? Hard to tell it with one side being a short boundary. Mumbai always attack me with Bumrah - he is one of the best in the world. I thought I did know [reaching a ton with an inside edge], but I got frustrated at the end as I slowed down. At the start of the day, a target of 194, we would've taken it. Shimron Hetmyer played a fantastic hand, we were about to lift-off, but never got away from them." Sreshth Shah will be with you for Mumbai's chase.
sukrit gupta: "Ashwin and Polly's last overs and Thampi's solitary over went for a combined 73 runs. Rest of the 17 overs yeilded the figures of 120/8. How much are those 3 overs going to hurt them?"
Nikhil: "RR need to set their lower order and allrounder mix right ASAP. The team is really strong otherwise. Even though RR has been keeping their faith in R Parag he has neither shown good match awareness nor hard hitting. Karun nair could provide the lower order stability they need. Or if they really need a 6th bowling option, Neesham "
Vaelan: "Only 11 runs were scored of the last 12 deliveries. That's less than a run a ball. That's completely due to world-class bowling by Boom and Mills to some extent. That just might be the difference between the both sides."
