    17.6 massive lbw shout, and Boult sends Sudharsan on his way! This is a searing leg-stump yorker that seems to tail in late as well. Sudharsan cannot get his bat down in time and the ball breezes past the inside edge to smash him on the back leg. Right in front of leg stump and the umpire has no hesitation in raising his finger. Sudharsan does not bother with the review either, and MI get the set batter with two overs still left! 179/4
    8.3 straight to deep backward square leg! The former GT captain gets the current GT skipper, and Pandya's grip over Gill in this particular match-up grows stronger! 4 dismissals in 18 balls now. This is another short ball, sitting up on middle and off. Gill gets a massive piece of this and absolutely laces it. The problem, however, is that he also picks out the fielder in the deep. Dhir makes no mistake and Gill cannot believe what he has done. Pandya just stands there with a beaming smile, and this is just the breakthrough MI would have been after! 78/1
    13.5 nicked and gone! Mujeeb gets the big fish, and that is a massive moment in the game! Carrom ball hung up on a length wide outside off. Buttler tries to smash it into next week but loses his shape just a touch. Gets a healthy edge and Rickelton gobbles up the chance with consummate ease. Buttler walks back disappointed; MI, meanwhile, elated! 129/2
    15.3 the plan works a charm, and Pandya has his man! Slow, short and wide again, although this is much shorter and wider than the ball that went for a six to the other side. Shahrukh has no option but to try and muscle it over deep cover but fails to generate the power he is after. Straight down Tilak's throat, and Pandya has a wry smile on his face! 146/3
    18.2 two in two in the over for the Mumbai Indians, three in three overall, and all of a sudden, this Titans innings is in a tailspin! Back of a length outside off. Rutherford sits deep in his crease and looks to carve it away. Gets under it but not enough to clear the fence. Deep extra cover comes around to his left, settles under the high ball and does the rest. Perfect planning, perfect execution, and MI have momentum! 179/6
    18.1 it is all happening here! Length ball wide outside off. Rutherford powers it straight to mid off. Tewatia takes a start and then has to go back because of how quickly that got to Pandya at mid off. Pandya then hits the stumps at the bowler's end and Tewatia cannot drag his bat behind the crease in time. Oh wow, that is not a great bit of cricket by the batter, but MI will not mind. They will not mind one bit! 179/5
    19.4 Rashid perishes! And Raju has his first IPL wicket! Fullish outside off. Rashid skips down the track and then tries to almost slog-sweep it. Gets into an undesirable position for the stroke and skies it towards long on. Pandya runs in and gobbles up the chance. Pandya embraces Raju, and the youngster has something to show for his toil tonight! 194/7

    19.6 another slower ball into the track outside off. Like the previous ball, this dies after pitching and Rabada has to abandon his shot mid-way. Sai Kishore tries to smuggle a bye but Rickelton hits bulls-eye at the batter's end to ensure GT finish on 196! Hang on...GT have reviewed this for a wide. Pretty sure nothing will come out of this, and that is exactly the case. Well inside the tramlines and GT indeed finish four short of 200! 196/8

    0.4 hot knife through butter! What a comeback by Siraj, and Rohit Sharma has to walk back to the pavilion! This is a proper cracker. Back of a length, pitching just outside off and decking back in sharply. Rohit gets cut in half and gets beaten all ends up. The ball whistles through the gap and then kisses the middle and off bail. A dream delivery, a dream dismissal, and a dream start for the Titans, despite those two boundaries! 8/1
    4.3 off stump out of the ground, and Siraj pulls out the Cristiano Ronaldo Siuu celebration! Back of a length, pitching on leg stump and decking away with the angle. Rickelton has a wild whoosh at it and does not cover the line at all. The ball scrapes the inside edge and then sends off stump tumbling. Siraj is over the moon. The Titans fans are overjoyed; the Mumbai Indians, in a spot of bother! 35/2
    11.3 Prasidh Krishna breaks this partnership! And Tilak Varma, after scratching his way to 39, leaves without that injection of tempo! Off-pace, on a length outside off. Tilak, feeling the pinch of the scoring rate, tries to go downtown but drags it leg-side because of the lack of pace. Arrows it towards long on, where Tewatia runs around to his left and completes a smart grab. Tilak walks off dejected; GT, on the other hand, delighted! 97/3
    15.6 goes a mile up, and snaffled up by Gill at long off! Is that the game as well?! Slower ball on a full length outside off. Suryakumar tries to smoke it downtown but cannot generate the power he is after. Beaten by the lack of pace and he slices it very tamely. Gill judges it to absolute perfection, and this MI chase sinks further into the quicksand! 120/5
    12.6 and it pays immediate dividends! Minz, sent out to perhaps attack the left-arm spinner, falls to the left-arm spinner! Pushed across the batter on a back of a length outside off. Minz throws the plumbing at it but all he manages is a thick outside edge. Ishant pouches it safely at short third, and Mumbai lose more momentum and another wicket in what is increasingly becoming a tricky chase! 108/4
    16.6 soft, soft dismissal and Hardik Pandya has been put out of his misery! Slower ball banged in short outside off. Pandya tries to upper-cut it but there is just no pace to work with. Offers some catching practice to Siraj at short third, and the pacer takes it, despite seemingly losing it in the lights. A 17-ball 11 for the MI skipper, when they needed something much more cavalier, and that perhaps sums up MI's evening! 124/6
