- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.1 and he strikes first ball. No celebration from Rabada, only a laugh as he knows this was not a wicket ball. It was short and wide. Kishan went after it but didn't middle it. Brar at deep third wasn't exactly at the edge of the boundary line but he times his jump well to grab it with both hands 18/111.4 down the track but it's a slower ball from Curran, back of the hand, bowled at 108.1kph. Rohit loses his shape, and the bottom hand comes of the bat as well, as he looks to go over extra cover. Gets an outside edge that goes towards backward point where Brar dives forward to grab it with both hands 99/216.2 full and wide. Surya chases it and slices it towards backward point where Prabhsimran Singh, probably the shortest person on the field, leaps up and takes it with both hands 148/317.6 a length ball. Hardik goes for the pull but the bottom hand comes off. Brar settles under it and pouches it well inside the boundary line 167/419.2 hard length outside off. David looks to hit it down the ground but fails to clear long-off 190/519.5 a slower one, full on the stumps. Shepherd swings with the angle but cannot clear Shashank Singh at deep-backward square leg 192/619.6 a run-out. Was a yorker from Harshal that Nabi drilled straight back, into the stumps at the other end. The ball ricocheted towards Harshal who picked up and pulled out the stump with the ball in his hands. Nabi was well short 192/7Extras11 (b 1, lb 5, w 5)TOTAL192/7 (20 Overs, RR: 9.6)Fall of wickets: 1-18 (Ishan Kishan, 2.1 ov), 2-99 (Rohit Sharma, 11.4 ov), 3-148 (Suryakumar Yadav, 16.2 ov), 4-167 (Hardik Pandya, 17.6 ov), 5-190 (Tim David, 19.2 ov), 6-192 (Romario Shepherd, 19.5 ov), 7-192 (Mohammad Nabi, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.6 Appeal from Kishan. A belated one. But Bumrah is quite convinced. Or is it about the ball brushing something? Wide given and Mumbai have reviewed. Fullish and angling in from around the stumps, Curran is on the back foot and looks to flick it away. Snicko returns a spike and Bumrah has two in the over! What a start. And he was the only one who seem to be certain about the nick. A feather of an edge and Mumbai have rattled the Kings 14/30.3 Flying Kishan in Mullanpur! Moves to his left and dives full length to pouch that. Coetzee is pumped up after an erratic start. Slants this into Prabhsimran on a length. He looks to swivel and pull but only gets a glove. The wicketkeeper does not miss and Mumbai are on the board. 10/11.4 BOOM, BOOM Bumrah! A perfect inswinging yorker to make a mess of Rossouw's stumps. He was expecting a length ball and was sitting in the crease. But the freak of the fast bowler in Bumrah just spears it full and straight on off and middle and gets it to swing in a touch. Booom! 13/22.1 Caught Coetzee, bowled Coetzee and Mumbai's celebrations continue. He takes a few steps forward to his left in his follow-through and takes a good, low catch to end Livingstone's night. Back of a length around off, rushed Livi for pace. He goes for the pull but ends up getting it back towards the bowler off the cue end. 150kph 14/46.5 Soft dismissal. Googly on a length, Bhatia goes back to punch it down to long-on but ends up chipping it back. Shreyas dives to his left and takes that 49/512.1 And Bumrah answers Mumbai's call! Once again. The sheer dependability of this guy. My goodness. Starts off with a slower one - but the batter does not pick it, in the slot. Shashank thinks this one is there to be deposited straight over. Goes for the big shot and only skies it high up. Tilak runs in from short midwicket and takes it next to the pitch. What a bowler Bumrah is! 111/79.2 Plumb lbw! Or so it seems. Jitesh opts to review. A full toss on middle and leg, Jitesh misses the flick and also falls over a touch. Perhaps surprised by the pace and height at which it arrived. Hits him below the knee roll on the front pad. Is it sliding down? Umpire's call on hitting the stumps 77/617.1 And the plan pays off for Mumbai! Is that the telling blow? Can they believe again? Third, fine leg, square leg and midwicket were out for the shot for the short ball, apart from long-on. Coetzee runs in and bowls it short but rolls his fingers over it. Ashutosh goes for the pull and hits it straight to Nabi, who is in from the ropes. Coetzee roars, but is it enough to silence Kings' roars? 168/818.4 Nonchalance? Nooooo! Finds Nabi on the fence! Sounded so good, looked like Brar connected. Length ball on middle, he moved across and played the pick-up shot over the on side. Unfortunately for him and Kings, found the fielder at deep backward square leg 174/919.1 Full and wide outside off again, Rabada walks to the off side and crunches it through point. A flat throw but has Rabada made it? Nope. It is all over. Kishan does well to collect and disturb the stumps with Rabada inches out. Mumbai escape to a win! Ooof!
