END OF OVER:

  • Kieron Pollard22 (5b)
  • Tilak Varma38 (27b)
  • Pat Cummins4-0-49-2
  • Andre Russell1-0-9-0

Join Miller for the run chase to see where this goes.

Jigar: "Hate to say it but Surya's wicket was a blessing in disguise. Pollard's innings pushed the score from a probable 150 to a respectable 161."

Saurabh Mantri : "Are we sure its not highlights of yesterday's match RR vs RCB?" --- Looks like, yeah.

Surya speaking after that cracking knock: "Looks like a good score. The wicket is still a bit sticky. That is a lot of runs for our bowlers to defend. We decided to go ahead with the [second] time-out... and it exactly went how we wanted it. I just wanted to spend time, run hard... I feel we can win it! The wicket is going to remain the same. I didn't find any dew out there."

Ayan: "The missed catch turned out to be costly for KKR"

9.16pm What a finish by Mumbai. Not dissimilar to what Delhi Capitals did to them in their first match of the season. Surya returns, and shines right away. A knock of 52 from 36 balls when Mumbai seemed off track, and when 140 seemed like a distant score. Massive contributions from Tilak and Pollard at the death, as Rahane's drop of Tilak earlier proves crucial.

Cummins to Pollard, SIX, six more! Pollard comes and tonks 22 off five balls. That is now 23 off the final over, as Mumbai get past 160. Leading edge takes that over short third man yet again. He closes the bat face to clip that fullish ball on off, but does that too early. The pace of the bowler helps it sail over the off side though
19.5
6
Cummins to Pollard, SIX, gets a top edge, and gets six! The pace of the pitch, and that of the bowler takes that away. On a short length outside off, as Pollard pulls but gets a top edge over short third man. Bonus runs there
19.4
2
Cummins to Pollard, 2 runs, change of pace, and that is hoicked to deep square leg. On a fullish length on off, as Pollard gets that off the inside half of the bat

Man straight bang behind the bowler. Remember Dhoni doing it in 2010?

19.4
1w
Cummins to Pollard, 1 wide, much wider of off, and called wide. On a slightly good length, and he tried a slash but was beaten
19.3
6
Cummins to Pollard, SIX, launched flat and hard! Typical Pollard there. Stands across off expecting the wide yorker, and Cummins obliges. Pitches it bang in that full length and in the arc outside, as Pollard hammers that 141kph ball over long-on
19.2

Cummins to Pollard, 2 runs, this time there is an appeal for run-out. No breather for the third umpire. Tilak is diving for life, and he is in. Looked like the bat was in the air for a while, which prompted multiple replays. But he is safe in the end, with the bat grounded in time. That was another wide yorker outside off at 138kph, as Pollard managed to get some bat down in time. Pushed to long-off, and they manage two

Cummins vs Pollard.

Pankaj: "Rohit and Ishan playing 33 balls for 17.. that could prove costly.. Umesh lethal once again.."

Cummins to Yadav, OUT, that is a wide yorker, and Surya has a slash but is beaten. There is half an interest for a caught behind, and Shreyas goes upstairs with some hope. That pitched very full, and around an imaginary seventh stump. Surya had a go at that away from his body, and guess what... There is a spike as the ball passes bat, and out of nothing, Surya has to leave. Woah, maybe a luck break for Knight Riders since nobody really looked convinced with that review

Vishal: "So much hype for Brevis but hardly any compliments for Tilak. The kid is brilliant for sure. Hardly any fear in his batting"

Final over. 150 on?

Russell to Tilak Varma, no run, more short stuff, and that is another dot. On a short of a length, but on off stump this time. Tilak has a pull, but is beaten
18.5
0
Russell to Tilak Varma, no run, Fire from Russell: a short ball at 139kph. On a short of a length on middle, and cramping him. He sways away, and then thinks to ramp but doesn't connect
18.4
4
Russell to Tilak Varma, FOUR, how did that go for four!? He has to reach that for that short and wide ball outside off, which seemed to have been a slower ball. He lifts that away from his body, and goes over mid-off with his front leg out out the way
18.3
0
Russell to Tilak Varma, no run, good ball. On a short of a length on middle at 136kph, as he pulls, but the ball is past him. Good pace there. Billings appeals for caught behind, but he is all alone there

Over the wicket to Tilak too. What does Tilak do now?

18.2

Russell to Yadav, 1 run, yorker on leg, as he jams the bat down. A single to fine leg off the inside half of the bat

Russell to Yadav, FOUR, he is having fun here! Fifty for Surya on his comeback. On a good length and outside off, as he waits for the ball to come before slashing over short third man. He is in command

Russell from over the wicket.

saar: "i think they waited a little too much to to bring back narine and it has costed them" --- But even he wasn't spared there...

END OF OVER:

Narine to Yadav, 1 leg bye, much fuller and outside off, as he sweeps but misses. The ball rolls over off Billings' gloves, and that allows a bye
17.5

Narine to Yadav, FOUR, slashes that elegantly! Pure timing there after that powerful six. Short and wide of off, as he uses the pace of the bowler to cut that late and to the right of point. Deep point had no chance to his left
17.4
1
Narine to Tilak Varma, 1 run, flies off the inside half of the bat to the man at deep midwicket. Full length and turning in, as he tried to play after making room
17.3
1
Narine to Yadav, 1 run, gets that off the bottom edge, as he goes chasing to that shortish ball which is wide of off. Short third man chases to his left, as the ball would have been a wide had he left alone
17.2
6
Narine to Yadav, SIX, tonked highhhhh over deep square leg! What a sound that made. Where were you Surya, ask his fans? Full length ball on middle and off, and that is absolutely thrashed for six

Over the stumps to Surya.

Ishan: "Rahane needs to score atleast whatever run Tilak scores today"

17.1
1
Narine to Tilak Varma, 1 run, makes room, and the bowler follows. On a good length on middle, and turning into leg, as Tilak pulls to long-on after getting cramped there

That was 17 off the last over. Mumbai kicking on for 150 here. Narine from around the wicket.

Varun to Yadav, FOUR, swept over short fine leg! Surya and Tilak taking it away now. Full delivery just outside off, and again he goes down on his back knee to loft that comfortably over the fielder's head

Man at deep point sent wider to deep extra cover

Siddharth: "@Himanshu, do you mean breving?" --- You got it...

Varun to Tilak Varma, 1 run, tossed up full outside off. Driven to mid-off all along the ground
