Mumbai are in the ascendancy in the final here and they also have been on top in the Pro Kabaddi League, where Siddharth Desai has shone for them.

12.40pm Mumbai need 178 to win the Vijay Hazare Trophy. They won the toss, elected to bowl with the surface assisting bowlers early on and have justified the decision. The stars: Tushar Deshpande, Shivam Dubey and senior-pro Dhawal Kulkarni. They picked up eight wickets between them to break Delhi's back.

Dhruv Shorey made 31 in the middle to keep the innings afloat, but his wicket exposed the lower order early. Pawan Negi's injury - a bruised right hand in trying to evade a bouncer - left him unbeaten on 21 and may have played a huge role in Delhi being limited to the score they finished with. Mumbai have the batting pedigree to chase this down in what should be excellent conditions. Join us in 30 minutes for the chase.

Kulkarni to Bhati, OUT, full toss reversing back in to hit him plumb in front of middle. Missed it altogether and the umpire didn't take long to raise the finger. Negi won't come out to bat and that's the end of Delhi's innings. Full, fast, late movement in and once it shaved past the inside edge, there was only one decision.

Kulkarni to Bhati, 1 wide, slips this full and just outside the wide line, I suspect he anticipated the batsman trying to make room to carve this away over point.

Mel: "In televised matches, the Umpires are advised to keep attention on the action at Striker's end. No Ball is checked in case of dismissal to ensure it was a valid delivery.. which was what was done in this case. It's a normal practice in televised games. Very sensible approach in my opinion.. nothing to be umbraged about."

S8u281m: "Heard Dahiya on TV saying that Negi went for a X-ray. This is the last wicket in that case."

Kulkarni to Bhati, SIX, swung away and just manages to elude deep square. Siddesh Lad isn't the tallest of fielders. Muscled away with tremendous power. The square boundaries are short., that made it easier.

Dube to Saini, OUT, this is the ball of the day! This is bowled slightly full, nibbling around that off stump channel. The batsman is squared up completely as he plays all around this delivery. Moved away ever-so-slightly to beat the outside edge and hit the top of off stump. As a fast bowler, you can't ask for a better sight. Delightful to say the least, that wicket should give Dubey most satisfaction.

Dube to Saini, no run, looks to play this length ball outside off but lets it go.

Nikhil: "Why Rohit Sharma is not playing today? Is there any cap on playing International Players?" -- He's in Guwahati with the ODI squad.
