md: "MI did well in the first session. They can improve their NRR by getting across the line as soon as possible without losing many wickets " -- That could be an idea, but MI might want to make the game completely safe, considering there might be some movement early with the new ball.

9pm What a bowling display by the Mumbai Indians. They well and truly turned up, with Boult bagging Narine in the opening over itself. Chahar then got rid of de Kock, before Ashwani, on debut, came to the party. He finished with four wickets and at no point did it seem that he was playing his first game for MI - such was his control and such was his dexterity. There were a couple of missed chances in the field but apart from that, MI were nigh-on spotless, especially with the ball.

Everything that could have gone wrong, meanwhile, went wrong for KKR. They lost their openers early, and Rahane and Raghuvanshi, who were trying to counter-punch, could not sustain that momentum long enough either. Rinku, Ramandeep and Pandey, brought in as an Impact Player, all got starts but neither could arrest their batting slide. MI very much in front at this stage, and KKR will need to produce something incredible to turn this game around. Join us in a bit for the chase!

Ashwani Kumar: Feeling very good, was feeling pressure early but the team environment did not make me feel that way (for long).

Hardik bhai told me to bowl short and to bowl at the body, and the situation led to a wicket (for me). In my village, everyone would be watching. They were just waiting for my debut, and by god's grace, I got an opportunity tonight.

Rajanarayanan : "If they have used Manish Pandey as the impact sub, that means Varun Chakravarthy won't be playing in this game anymore, right?" -- Pandey replaced Raghuvanshi, so Chakravarthy can bowl in the second innings.

Santner to bowl out. Ramandeep will look to take him on, which opens up a wicket-taking possibility for Santner and MI as well. Around the wicket
