19.6

Hardik Pandya to Mohit Sharma, no run, MI complete a comfortable win! Slower one this time, wider outside off and Mohit doesn't get bat on ball

19.5

Hardik Pandya to Mohit Sharma, no run, banged in short, Mohit was on the move and tried to play a pull shot. Well late on it and doesn't connect

19.4

Hardik Pandya to SN Thakur, 1 run, another miscue from Thakur, hasn't got hold of it at all and skews it straight down the ground. Doesn't carry to the charging long-off fielder who tried his best

19.3

Hardik Pandya to SN Thakur, FOUR, smacked hard! Thakur having some fun here. Another overcooked delivery from Hardik with width on offer, blasted away through extra cover and well wide of long-off. Handy runs for CSK to reduce the margin of defeat

19.2

Hardik Pandya to SN Thakur, SIX, in the air for an eternity and it's also cleared the ropes! Not a bad hit from a lower order batsman. Fuller length from Hardik and Thakur lifts it high down the ground. Plenty of elevation and just about has the distance to clear long-off

19.1

Hardik Pandya to Chahar, out Caught by Bumrah!! Another one bites the dust. The hard length has done the trick many a time on this pitch tonight and here is another example of it. Well-directed pacy bumper and Chahar gets into a tangle on the pull after having backed away early. Gets a top edge towards deep backward square leg where Bumrah takes a running catch, having covered decent ground from fine leg. Chahar c Bumrah b Hardik Pandya 7(7) [4s-1]

Hardik Pandya to Chahar, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

Hardik Pandya [3.0-0-9-2] is back into the attack

Satya says: So, the winning formula for other teams to win against CSK is to try and get first 3 wickets early and allow MSD to reduce scoring rate. Make sure you get him out before he starts hitting. Else, you know what he can do.

Bumrah to Chahar, 1 run, shortish and rises a bit off the deck, Chahar hops slightly to pat this towards cover

18.5

Bumrah to Chahar, no run, and again! A repeat of the previous ball. Chahar tries to make room once more but Bumrah follows him with a sharp bumper. Doesn't connect the pull

18.4

Bumrah to Chahar, no run, the typical fast bowler's response, pacy short ball that follows Chahar who was backing away. Beaten all ends up on the pull

18.3

Bumrah to Chahar, FOUR, nicely struck! Overpitched and Chahar makes room to biff it over extra cover. Clean hit and in the gap as well

18.2

Bumrah to SN Thakur, 1 run, tries a desperate heave but it's pacy and on a good length as well, mistimed uppishly down the ground to long-on

Shardul Thakur, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Aravind says: Newer version of Dhoni in chases is always a support player. Needs someone at the other end to take risks so that he can solidify and finish the game. Which did not happen here tonight.

17.5

Malinga to Dwayne Bravo, out Caught by de Kock!! Stunner from QDK! Brilliance from the South African and that's the end of a forgettable night for Bravo. Made room for the big shot but this was in the blockhole, cramped him as well and he got a faint inside edge. De Kock was initially blinded, as keepers usually are in such a scenario, but reacted sharply with a two-handed diving catch to his left. Excellent work indeed and that's the third of the night for Malinga. Dwayne Bravo c de Kock b Malinga 8(9) [6s-1]

Malinga to Dwayne Bravo, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

17.4

Malinga to Dwayne Bravo, SIX, smoked! Probably has come a bit too late in the game I reckon. Bravo picked the slower ball this time and swung this merrily into the third tier at long-on. Mammoth blow

17.3

Malinga to Dwayne Bravo, no run, no pace to work with, wider as well and Bravo isn't able to connect the inside out loft

17.2

Malinga to Chahar, 1 run, fuller and on leg stump, dug out towards backward square leg

Deepak Chahar, right handed bat, comes to the crease

17.1

Malinga to Kedar Jadhav, out Caught by de Kock!! Jadhav's defiance ends. Fought hard but with this kind of a target, he needed support which he never got. Slower ball from Malinga and Jadhav went for a wild heave across the line. Only manages a thin feather through to de Kock who is having a good time behind the sticks. Kedar Jadhav c de Kock b Malinga 58(54) [4s-8 6s-1]

Malinga to Kedar Jadhav, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

16.6

Bumrah to Kedar Jadhav, leg byes, 1 run, nips in a bit from a good length and pings Jadhav on the back thigh. Beats a wrong-footed de Kock but Chahar at third man is fine and gets across

16.5

Bumrah to Dwayne Bravo, 1 run, pacy short ball once again, cramps up Bravo who can only essay a mistimed pull to deep mid-wicket. Another single

16.4

Bumrah to Dwayne Bravo, no run, sharp bumper, kept following Bravo who was backing away for the pull. The pace and bounce of this surface means that the West Indian has no chance of connecting. Good leaping take by de Kock

16.3

Bumrah to Kedar Jadhav, 1 run, shorter and wider outside off, another cutter and this time, it's steered down to third man. Just a single. These won't hurt MI at all

16.2

Bumrah to Kedar Jadhav, no run, another dot ball! The cutter this time and bounces extra off the pitch, Jadhav looks to slash it away but doesn't connect

16.1

Bumrah to Kedar Jadhav, no run, pacy in-angler, Jadhav looks to whip it away but it goes off the pads towards backward square leg where the fielder is alert and prevents the run

Jasprit Bumrah [2.0-0-18-0] is back into the attack

Sophia Choudhury says: Along with Suryakumar Yadav's outstanding innings, It's heartening to see Hardik Pandya's all-round capabilities coming to the fore today. It certainly augurs well for team Mumbai Indians and of course team India.

Kedar Jadhav - 4th IPL fifty
50* - 1st 50 in debut match (for DD in 2010)
63* - 2nd 50 in 45th match (for DD in 2015)
69 - 3rd 50 in 53rd match (for RCB in 2017)
50* - 4th 50 in 69th match (for CSK in 2019)

Time out! A mountain to climb for CSK at the back end. Required rate is 16.5 with not much batting left after this pair. It was Bravo who won it out of nowhere for them last year and it was his over too in this game where the momentum shifted. He owes it to the side but to be honest, looks difficult from here. Unless CSK do a CSK.

15.6

Malinga to Dwayne Bravo, no run, smart from Malinga, not giving any pace to work with, Bravo tries to reach it with a slash but doesn't connect

15.5

Malinga to Kedar Jadhav, 1 run, thickish edge but third man is finer now and so, just a single. Slower ball from Malinga and Jadhav made room for the inside out shot. Got deceived by the lack of pace

15.4

Malinga to Dwayne Bravo, 1 run, slower ball, on middle and leg and Bravo nudges it towards mid-wicket

15.3

Malinga to Kedar Jadhav, 1 run, again off-target, on the pads and Jadhav gets a tickle down to fine leg. Bumrah gets to it this time and restricts it to just a single

Ninad says: Still anything can happen. Remember in 2018 Bravo and Jadhav scripted a turnaround at this same venue! So even without MSD, there is still some hope for CSK.

15.2

Malinga to Kedar Jadhav, FOUR, sensational stroke! It was fed on the pads, yes, but the execution of the stroke was superb from Jadhav. Drop kicks it through backward square leg and a sliding Bumrah from fine leg can't cut it off. Perfect start for CSK in this over

15.1

Malinga to Kedar Jadhav, FOUR, cheeky way to bring up a fine fifty! Shortish with good bounce from Malinga, Jadhav just waits and dabs it with an open face. Well wide of de Kock and quite fine to the third man fence. It's been a good knock so far from Jadhav but he has lacked support

Lasith Malinga [2.0-0-16-1] is back into the attack

14.6

Hardik Pandya to Dwayne Bravo, leg byes, FOUR, not off the bat but CSK won't mind. Was angling in on leg stump and Bravo shuffled early for the flick. Off the pads and races away down to the fine leg fence

14.6

Hardik Pandya to Dwayne Bravo, wide, tries to continue with the short ball ploy but this is well down leg

14.5

Hardik Pandya to Dwayne Bravo, no run, dug in short once more, climbs uncomfortably into Bravo who hops across to fend it

Dwayne Bravo, right handed bat, comes to the crease

14.4

Hardik Pandya to Jadeja, out Caught by de Kock!! Second in the over for Hardik! What a game he is having! A blitzing cameo earlier in the night and now two strikes with the ball. Pounded this on the hard length with good pace, Jadeja was backing away for the slash but got done in by the speed. Too late and gets a healthy nick that's pouched by a beaming de Kock. Wheels coming off for CSK. Not far away from hearing the fat lady sing. Jadeja c de Kock b Hardik Pandya 1(2)

Hardik Pandya to Jadeja, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

14.3

Hardik Pandya to Kedar Jadhav, 1 run, width on offer from a good length, Jadhav camps back and steers it past the diving backward point fielder. Third man gets around in time to restrict the batsmen to just a single

14.2

Hardik Pandya to Jadeja, 1 run, short again, Jadeja is late on the pull and drags it through mid-wicket

Ravindra Jadeja, left handed bat, comes to the crease

14.1

Hardik Pandya to Dhoni, out Caught by Suryakumar Yadav!! Dhoni departs! Never got going today and with the required rate soaring, he had to take a risk. Tries but doesn't work. Stepped out in a premeditated manner and Hardik smartly dug it short, at the body, cramping MS completely. The result is a forced pull and it's aerial too. Dolly for Surya at square leg. Massive dent to CSK's already fading chances in the game. Dhoni c Suryakumar Yadav b Hardik Pandya 12(21)

Hardik Pandya to Dhoni, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

Hardik Pandya [2.0-0-6-0] is back into the attack

Bala says: In Chemistry, there is something called ''neighbouring group effect,'' here Kedar looks as cool as MS even though required run rate has passed 12.5.....no hurry at all.

Kaushik with another gem. Back to Bumrah over: He gets deep mid-wicket go to deep square leg and has square leg move to mid-wicket. A clear Pull-me-in-front-of-square-if-you-can issued to Dhoni

Krunal Pandya to Dhoni, 1 run, flatter and fuller, Dhoni lunges and nudges this towards the mid-off region. Another single. Brilliant over from Krunal! The screws tighten around CSK

13.5

Krunal Pandya to Kedar Jadhav, 1 run, once again that near yorker length, stabbed away to sweeper cover

13.4

Krunal Pandya to Kedar Jadhav, no run, top nut! Superb yorker from Krunal and Jadhav can only dig it out

13.3

Krunal Pandya to Kedar Jadhav, no run, extra bounce! Woof! De Kock was taken aback by it and no wonder, he fumbled. Sprung from a good length as Jadhav went for the slog. No way he was going to connect

13.2

Krunal Pandya to Kedar Jadhav, FOUR, much needed boundary for CSK! Jadhav didn't get hold of the slog sweep that well here, still got enough and also found the placement well. Speeds away to the deep square leg fence

13.2

Krunal Pandya to Kedar Jadhav, wide, the dart from Krunal but in an attempt to get wide off Jadhav' arc, gets it well past the tramline outside off

13.1

Krunal Pandya to Kedar Jadhav, no run, speared into leg stump, Jadhav misses the flick and it goes off the pad to short fine leg

Adnan Saeed says: Chennai will live as long as Dhoni is out there tonight. It is as simple as that.

Exactly 13 rpo required now. Plenty of options for MI and so the question is, whom will these two target? Got to say that the big over has to come quickly for CSK as otherwise, this game will slip away from them soon.

12.4

Bumrah to Dhoni, 1 run, shortish and wider outside off, slapped away to sweeper cover

Change of bat for MS who opts for the heavier blade now.

12.3

Bumrah to Dhoni, no run, doesn't connect properly! Was in the slot to be honest and Dhoni went for the big shot down the ground. Drags it off the inner half towards mid-wicket

12.2

Bumrah to Kedar Jadhav, 1 run, full and angling into Jadhav who whips it a bit uppishly towards long-on

Behrendorff to Dhoni, no run, so nearly found the edge! Goodish length and takes it away from the right-hander in the corridor of uncertainty. Dhoni was groping his bat across and is beaten all ends up

Time-out. Fantastic start from MI, Jason Behrendorff was impressive with the new ball in his IPL debut and prised out a couple of wickets. Watson played a poor shot and CSK were jolted early. But Jadhav hit three fours off the last over and he's looking good. But still a long way to go

6.5

Bumrah to Kedar Jadhav, no run, length delivery outside off, defended to point

6.4

Bumrah to Kedar Jadhav, FOUR, four more. He's a smart customer, is the pocket-rocket Jadhav. Bumrah is under pressure now. Peppered it short outside off, Jadhav cleverly arched his back at the last moment and elevated it over the slip. Third man had no chance and he'll collect a boundary

Kaushik with an excellent fielding input from Mumbai for that Raina dismissal: After that edge past keeper for four. Behrendorff had a mini discussion with Bumrah (at mid-on). Bumrah then instructed Rohit (at extra cover) to get a slip in, bring third man in and have a sweeper cover back. There was also a deep square leg, by the way.

6.3

Bumrah to Kedar Jadhav, FOUR, wow! Helicoptered over mid-on. Brilliant from Jadhav. It was nearly a yorker length from Bumrah, Jadhav took his front leg out of the way and stayed deep. Lifted it excellently over mid-on. Even the inventor of the helicopter shot, MS Dhoni - who's at the other end - would've enjoyed that

6.3

Bumrah to Kedar Jadhav, no ball, 2 runs, like master, like pupil. Bumrah too oversteps in his first over. Fullish around off, Jadhav whips it through mid-wicket and earns a couple of runs. Will face the free-hit delivery

6.2

Bumrah to Kedar Jadhav, FOUR, dismissive pull from Jadhav. Skiddy short of length just outside off, Jadhav gets quickly onto the back foot and short-arm jabs it wide of mid-on. Rolled his wrists at the right time to find the gap

This track is tailor-made for Bumrah. Can he make amends?

6.1

Bumrah to Kedar Jadhav, no run, 138.2kph, short of length and climbing up just outside off, Jadhav treks back and employs his soft hands to dead-bat it

Hardik Pandya to Dhoni, no run, again Pandya is getting some iffy bounce from this deck. Hammers it on a back of a length and it leaps up awkwardly at Dhoni, who manages to block it high on the bat

5.5

Hardik Pandya to Dhoni, no run, 134.9kph, length delivery that gains some steep bounce. Dhoni waits back to defend but it strikes him high on the bat. That shook him a bit and Dhoni yanked his bottom hand off the handle because of the impact

Loud cheers from the crowd because it's YUM-YESS-DEEE on strike..

5.4

Hardik Pandya to Kedar Jadhav, 1 run, too straight this time and Jadhav nudges it through square leg

5.3

Hardik Pandya to Kedar Jadhav, no run, decking back in with the angle, Jadhav looks to turn it to the leg-side and extra bounce meant that it clicks the inside edge and then deflects onto the thigh pad

5.2

Hardik Pandya to Kedar Jadhav, no run, fullish and straightens a bit just outside off, Jadhav was trying to close the bat face early and squirts it off the outer half to cover

5.1

Hardik Pandya to Kedar Jadhav, no run, extra bounce and sharp inward shape befuddles Jadhav. This back of a length came back in appreciably and Jadhav didn't expect it to come back in by such a margin. Gets cramped all for room and ends up inside-edging it onto his body

Hardik Pandya, right-arm fast medium, comes into the attack

MS Dhoni, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Behrendorff to Raina, out Caught by Pollard!! Oh my word! There's that customary stunner from Pollard for the season. His batting form may have dipped but not his fielding and catching. This is smart field placement from Rohit and Behrendorff executed it well. Dug it short and offered width, Raina forgets there's a fielder at sweeper cover. Slashed it on the up and Pollard was waiting for it. Though he kind of charged in a bit early, he made sure he kept his calm and stretched his giant right hand to nonchalantly grab it. Dives and thumps his chest towards the MI fans in the stands. Blinder from the big man and CSK in trouble now. Raina c Pollard b Behrendorff 16(15) [4s-2 6s-1]

Behrendorff to Raina, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

Behrendorff to Raina, no run, very full and straight at the stumps, wristed to mid-on

4.4

Behrendorff to Raina, FOUR, consecutive fours for Raina and the "CSK, CSK" chants are back. Behrendorff wafts it full and gives some width for Raina to free his arms. Lifted over mid-off, holds his shape nicely and desperate chase from the fielder but in vain

4.3

Behrendorff to Raina, FOUR, educated edge and Raina collects a boundary. Shortish just outside off, Raina intentionally opens the bat face at the last minute and guides it through the vacant slip cordon. Cheekily done!

4.2

Behrendorff to Raina, no run, much straighter at around 137kph, Raina jumps across and blocks it

4.1

Behrendorff to Raina, no run, smidgen fuller and angling away just outside off, Raina pokes and gets beaten on the outside edge

Malinga to Kedar Jadhav, FOUR, this is poor bowling from Malinga. He's just not finding his lines right. For the umpteenth time, drifts it down leg. Bread and butter for Jadhav, who picks it away over short fine leg. Behrendorff leaps but it comfortably clears him

3.5

Malinga to Kedar Jadhav, no run, fullish and hurls it just outside off, Jadhav gets half-forward and taps it into the off-side

3.4

Malinga to Kedar Jadhav, SIX, flicked away for a six. Horror delivery from Malinga, very identical to the previous ball. Slanting it on the legs, Jadhav ain't missing out on these freebies. Walks across and helps it away expertly over short fine leg. Almost smashed it towards the Harrier car

3.2

Malinga to Raina, no run, fullish just outside off, Raina props forward and eases it with an open bat face to point

3.1

Malinga to Raina, no run, 133.9kph pitched up just outside off. Raina was leaning into the push but his head falls away and he ends up inside halving it to square leg

2.3

Behrendorff to Raina, no run, jagging back into the left-hander, Raina moves across and defends

2.2

Behrendorff to Raina, SIX, typical inside-out shot from Raina. Triggers his back leg, creates some room to this full ball and lifts it beautifully over cover. The timing was supreme and it clears the ropes for a maximum

2.2

Behrendorff to Raina, wide, length delivery, overdoes the swing and slips it down leg. Raina was shuffling across aiming to connect the glance but failed to do so in the end

Rohit says: Rayudu and Watson haven't found their touch this IPL. Worrying signs especially for Rayudu, given the World Cup scene.

Malinga to Watson, out Caught by Pollard!! In the air and taken. Straight to Pollard at cover-point, who juggles a bit and holds onto it. Both openers back in the shed for CSK and it's been a wonderful start for Mumbai. Short and well wide of off, Watson cuts and doesn't keep it down. Hits it airly and finds Pollard, who leaps and it bobbled out of his hands, but he keeps his calm and grabs it on the second attempt. Wankhede explodes.. Watson c Pollard b Malinga 5(6) [4s-1]

Malinga to Watson, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

1.1

Malinga to Watson, FOUR, edged and flies over the slips. Doesn't matter how they come but Watson will take it. Fuller length and seaming away just outside off, Watson goes hard on the downtown swing and gets a thick outside edge which balloons over to the third man fence

1.1

Malinga to Watson, no ball, short of length and wayward line from Malinga, loose shot from Watson too as he goes chasing at it with his horizontal bat. Gets nowhere close to the line and guess what! Malinga has overstepped. So, free-hit coming up for Watto

Behrendorff to Raina, no run, big appeal for a caught-behind but umpire Bruce Oxenford says no. Good call, it came off the thigh pad. Superb delivery again from Behrendorff, went fuller and it straightened after pitching. Opens up Raina, who ends up playing down the wrong line, getting beaten by the late swing. Beats the edge and raps the thigh pad before bobbling into de Kock's gloves, who went up straightaway and so were rest of the Mumbai boys. But umpire Bruce Oxenford wasn't going to fall for the bait

0.5

Behrendorff to Raina, no run, uh-oh! He's getting some vicious movement here. Good length delivery, holding its line outside off and Raina hops, does well to keep his bat inside the line and sees it off

Suresh Raina, left handed bat, comes to the crease

Two slips in for Raina.

0.4

Behrendorff to Rayudu, out Caught by de Kock!! There's a noise and Rayudu's gone. His poor form continues and it's a first-baller for the opener. But what a corker from Behrendorff this was. Pounded it short, sprang up like a spitting Cobra after hitting the deck just outside off. Rayudu was just pushing his bat forward aiming to defend. Scary extra bounce scraps the shoulder of the bat and carries to QDK. Behrendorff is elated and Mumbai have struck early. Rayudu c de Kock b Behrendorff 0(1)

Behrendorff to Rayudu, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

Behrendorff to Watson, 1 run, Watson has enough of the sighters and gets tempted into a loft. Loses a shape as the ball wobbles away slightly and trims the outside edge. Flies away towards third man and Watson is off the mark

Behrendorff to Watson, no run, short of length and keeps it tighter closer to off, Watson gets his weight back and punches it straight to point

0.1

Behrendorff to Watson, no run, gentle outswinger on a length to begin with, moving away outside off and Watson watchfully leaves it alone

Dwayne Bravo to Hardik Pandya, SIX, 29 off the last over! And Mumbai ends the innings in a sensational fashion. It was a fuller length delivery wide of off, Hardik Pandya uses his wrists brilliantly again to lift it over deep backward point for another maximum

19.5

Dwayne Bravo to Hardik Pandya, FOUR, he has powered this one for another four. Hardik Pandya is playing a gem. It was a fuller length delivery wide of off, Hardik Pandya reaches for it and pumps it wide of cover for another boundary. He loved it! Punches the air in delight!

19.4

Dwayne Bravo to Hardik Pandya, SIX, wow! Just wow! You will very rarely see a better power hit than this. It was a yorker on ths stumps, Hardik Pandya was deep in the crease and uses his wrists to dispatch it over deep mid-wicket for a massive maximum. Wrist of steel from the younger Pandya!

19.3

Dwayne Bravo to Pollard, 3 runs, short of length delivery wide of off, Pollard top-edges the pull. Deepak Chahar at deep mid-wicket drops the catch but that doesn't matter. They will come back for three

19.3

Dwayne Bravo to Pollard, no ball, SIX, just praised his skill of bowling yorkers and guess what, he delivers a full-toss above the waist height. Pollard larrups it over deep mid-wicket for a gigantic six. Free-hit coming up! It wasn't above the waist height so that was a harsh call from the umpire

19.2

Dwayne Bravo to Hardik Pandya, 1 run, excellent delivery under pressure. He knows the art of delivering yorkers under pressure. It was wide of off and Hardik Pandya could only steer it to deep backward point

19.2

Dwayne Bravo to Hardik Pandya, wide, errs in line massively. It was well down the leg-side and umpire will call it a wide

19.1

Dwayne Bravo to Pollard, 1 run, yorker on the stumps, Pollard smokes it straight to long-on. Gee! That went quickly but it wasn't placed well enough

SN Thakur to Pollard, wide, fuller length delivery well wide of Pollard, he heaves at it but it wasn't in his reach. Wide called

18.2

SN Thakur to Hardik Pandya, 1 run, steers it wide of backward point and they will take a single. Dhoni fumbles and Hardik Pandya wanted a double, MS quickly recovered and had he hit at the non striker's end, Pandya would have been in trouble

18.1

SN Thakur to Hardik Pandya, SIX, that's an air-strike from Hardik Pandya. You cannot bowl length to Hardik at this stage, he gets behind it, keeps his shape and absolutely smashes it over deep mid-wicket. It went a long way back into the stands

He fails to get under the yorker, but still goes through with the hit. Ends up skying it in the air and Jadeja at long-on makes no mistake. Suryakumar Yadav c Jadeja b Dwayne Bravo 59(43) [4s-8 6s-1]

Dwayne Bravo to Suryakumar Yadav, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

Suryakumar Yadav in IPL:

17.5

Dwayne Bravo to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, that has been clobbered down the ground. And it will beat Jadeja at the long-on fence. Dwayne Bravo misses the yorker just a bit but that allows Suryakumar Yadav to get under it and power it straight back past the bowler. Jadeja dived full-stretch but his effort went in vain

17.4

Dwayne Bravo to Suryakumar Yadav, no run, no contact with the bat on the slog. It was a brilliant slower one, Suryakumar Yadav was into the shot way too early and swings his bat prematurely

17.3

Dwayne Bravo to Hardik Pandya, 1 run, very full and on the stumps and Hardik Pandya whips it straight to deep backward square leg. Lot of wrist involved on that shot

Hardik Pandya, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Mohit Sharma to Krunal Pandya, out Caught by Jadeja!! A scratchy innings from Krunal Pandya comes to an end. But it was an important innings. It was a slower one on a length, Krunal Pandya wanted to clobber it to the on-side. He swings it down the wrong line, it clips the outside half of the bat and was in the air for a long time. Jadeja at long-on comes under it and takes it with utmost ease. Krunal Pandya c Jadeja b Mohit Sharma 42(32) [4s-5 6s-1]

Mohit Sharma to Krunal Pandya, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

16.3

Mohit Sharma to Krunal Pandya, FOUR, just above the cover fielder. Can you believe it, he is teasing the fielders to the fullest at the moment. It was on a fuller length and was wide of off, Krunal Pandya gets it just enough bat on it to send it to fence

16.2

Mohit Sharma to Krunal Pandya, FOUR, time to buy a lottery ticket, Krunal! He has been saved three or four times in this knock so far. It was a slower one wide of off, Krunal Pandya attempts a slog, it comes off the outside half of the bat and just about clears short third. Jadhav gives a chase but ball will win

16.1

Mohit Sharma to Suryakumar Yadav, 1 run, all the mishits are falling short of fielders at the moment. It was a slower one on the stumps, Suryakumar Yadav waits for it to arrive, delays his bat swing but still fails to time it. It lands short of deep mid-wicket

15.5

Dwayne Bravo to Krunal Pandya, 1 run, slower one on the stumps, Krunal Pandya was a week early into the shot. He mistimes it horribly and it was in the air for a long time. But the lack of timing saves Krunal as it didn't go that far and bounces well infront of deep mid-wicket

15.4

Dwayne Bravo to Krunal Pandya, 2 runs, yorker on the stumps and Krunal Pandya drills it down the ground. Jadeja of all people misfields it at long-off and that will allow batsmen to take an extra run

15.3

Dwayne Bravo to Suryakumar Yadav, 1 run, dipping slower ball from Dwayne Bravo. This is what he is renowned for, Suryakumar Yadav was early into the shot and he could only push it to the on-side

15.2

Dwayne Bravo to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, nicely done from Suryakumar Yadav! He was anticipating a slower one and it indeed was one, Suryakumar Yadav backs away, makes room and eases it past short third for a boundary. No need to run for that!

14.5

Tahir to Krunal Pandya, no run, it was a half-tracker from Tahir. Krunal Pandya should have put it away but he was hurried by the pace of the delivery and ends up mistiming the pull shot to mid-wicket. It lands just in front of Raina there

14.4

Tahir to Krunal Pandya, 1 run, punches it to long-on

14.2

Tahir to Krunal Pandya, SIX, that's an old-fashioned heave. And it will clear long-on with ease. It was a leggie on the stumps, Krunal Pandya clears his leg, keeps his shape and dispatches it into the stands

14.1

Tahir to Krunal Pandya, 2 runs, it was down the leg-side and Krunal Pandya sweeps it to fine leg for a brace

Imran Tahir [3.0-0-14-1] is back into the attack

Bhuvan Dave says: "Is the pitch really slow or are the CSK bowlers bowling really well?" --- A bit of both to be honest. The surface certainly hasn't played as well as it's appearance. CSK have been decent with the ball, also feel MI haven't adjusted well enough yet bar Surya.

Time Out: CSK are on top at the moment. But this pitch isn't a normal placid one. And 140-150 should be a par score here. But to reach 140 odd they need some power-hitting. MI have the Arsenal for sure but will the likes of Pollard and Pandya brothers fire? Next passage of play will have the answer.

13.2

SN Thakur to Krunal Pandya, no run, Review time: Krunal Pandya has been given out lbw. And he has taken the review. I don't reckon there is an inside edge on it. UltraEdge will confirm it. And there is a spike on UltraEdge. Just a tiny bit but that will be enough to save Krunal. Rod Tucker will have to change his decision. It nips back in off the deck, Krunal Pandya wanted to heave it to the on-side, plays it down the wrong line and it raps him on the pads. It looked plumb to the naked eye but an inside edge saves Krunal

12.4

Dwayne Bravo to Krunal Pandya, no run, in the air and dropped! Mohit Sharma is the culprit. Krunal wanted to clear mid-off, fails to do so and ends up hitting it straight to Mohit at mid-off. It was hit hard and Mohit fails to get his fingers in the right position to grab it

12.3

Dwayne Bravo to Suryakumar Yadav, 1 run, this was very slow, 115.4 kph delivery. Suryakumar Yadav doesn't pick it up, he wanted to work it to the leg-side, closes the face of the bat early and leading edge takes it to the off-side

12.2

Mohit Sharma to Krunal Pandya, FOUR, poor effort from Rayudu in the deep. And that will result in a four. Back-to-back fours for MI and Krunal. It was short and was on the body, Krunal Pandya gets behind it and pulls it with a lot of power to deep square leg. Rayudu there should have easily stopped it but instead he lets it go

11.4

Mohit Sharma to Krunal Pandya, FOUR, this will ease his nerves a bit. Mohit Sharma is bowling back of length balls so there was no long-off in place. Krunal Pandya moves forward, and lofts it over mid-off. The timing again wasn't great but it was good enough to get it over mid-off

11.3

Mohit Sharma to Krunal Pandya, no run, bat turns in Krunal's hand as he was attempting the drive hence timing was dismal, it ends up straight to cover

Tahir to Krunal Pandya, no run, gentle leggie on the stumps, blocked

8.5

Tahir to Krunal Pandya, no run, look at that diving save from Tahir, Pandya drove this full ball off the front foot, but young Tahir was flying to stop this cherry

8.4

Tahir to Krunal Pandya, no run, flighted delivery outside off stump, Pandya leans forward and defends

Krunal Pandya, left handed bat, comes to the crease

Mandeep Samana says: Kohli, Rohit and Dhawan - India's famed top three is yet to play a match-winning innings in this IPL.

Time-out. MI are 50/3, not a good start at all in a big match. They still have batting left and would hope to post 160 at least to make a match out this. CSK were pretty good apart from those two overs which yielded 30 runs. Dhoni will be a happy man.

8.3

Tahir to Yuvraj, out Caught by Rayudu!! Tahir takes off on his celebratory run. Fullish delivery outside off stump, Yuvraj lofts looking for a six, targetted the long-off region, but Rayudu was stationed perfectly under it. He was very close to the rope, but did exceedingly well to balance himself just inside the boundary. Umps check with the third umpire with the soft signal being OUT, replays confirmed it was a clean catch. Yuvraj c Rayudu b Tahir 4(6)

Tahir to Yuvraj, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

Yuvraj has been caught in the deep. Umps are checking if the catch is clean. Soft signal is OUT. Rayudu is fine!

8.2

Tahir to Yuvraj, 2 runs, short delivery on the leg stump, Yuvraj goes back and pulls to deep square leg

8.1

Tahir to Yuvraj, no run, beaten, the googly from Tahir, Yuvraj was poking at it in his defence

Interesting fact: Rohit Sharma has now been dismissed by Ravindra Jadeja on 3 occasions in IPL
- in 2009 (stumped), in 2012 (bowled), now in 2019 (ct by keeper)

7.1

Jadeja to Rohit, out Caught by Dhoni!! What a start for Jadeja. Gets a faint edge and Dhoni manages to cling on. Flighted delivery pitching on the off stump and spinning away sharply, Rohit tried defending but the feet were stuck in the crease. Dhoni made no mistake and also checked the bails off to be doubly sure about the dismissal as Ro was close with his back foot in the crease. Tough catch because the ball almost shaved the off stump as well. Oh they are checking for the no-ball, Raina blocks the side angle from deep cover, but the other angle shows a very minute portion of the heel to be behind the crease when Jadeja landed. Third umpire is convinced and it will be OUT. A sluggish start from Rohit, he needs to be a lot more positive as an opener. Rohit c Dhoni b Jadeja 13(18) [4s-1]

Jadeja to Rohit, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

Ravindra Jadeja, left-arm orthodox, comes into the attack

5.5

Mohit Sharma to Suryakumar Yadav, no run, 100.6kph slower ball, that's a real teasing delivery for a batsman, Suryakumar waited for the pull shot, mistimed into the on-side

5.4

Mohit Sharma to Suryakumar Yadav, no run, full and outside off stump, with the form that he is in at the moment, Suryakumar Yadav should have driven that through cove for four, but he decides to have a look at Mohit Sharma maybe, gentle defence

Deepak Chahar during PP in IPL 2019 now has the most wkts - 4 wkts @ 3.33 runs per over

4.6

Chahar to Rohit, 1 run, much better from Chahar, good length delivery just outside off stump, Rohit does really well to tap it softly to cover-point for a quick single

4.5

Chahar to Suryakumar Yadav, 1 run, again goes for the glory ball which swings away late and finishes leg-side, clipped through backward square leg

4.4

Chahar to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, freebie down the leg-side and Suryakumar won't miss out after this kind of a start, a gentle flick shot in the gap at mid-wicket and that's all you need at the Wankhede with a fast outfield

4.3

Chahar to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, oh shot! Brilliant hit, the shot of the game thus far and will take some doing to beat this. A simple on-drive it looks like, but it's tough to play an on-drive with a straight bat to the right of mid-on, let the short of length delivery come and timed it sweetly, Rayudu gives chase and loses the race

4.2

Chahar to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, now then, this is too much from CSK! Yes, the ball is swinging away, but you can't have such a big Test-match kind of gap at cover in a T20 game and this isn't the red ball which moves better. Fullish and outside off stump, Suryakumar easily drives and picks up a boundary

4.1

Chahar to Suryakumar Yadav, no run, short of length delivery moving away outside off stump, Suryakumar stands tall and taps it to cover-point

16 off that over. A much needed one for MI.

3.5

SN Thakur to Rohit, 1 run, very full and outside off stump, Rohit leans forward and drives it to cover

3.5

SN Thakur to Rohit, wide, what's happened to Thakur? He's spraying the ball all over the place this over, tries the bouncer this time and bowls down the leg-side

3.4

SN Thakur to Rohit, FOUR, in the airrrr and just wide of cover-point. It went just a yard or two away from Raina's outstretched left arm. Short and wide delivery, poor delivery, Rohit cuts uppishly and gets away with it

3.3

SN Thakur to Suryakumar Yadav, 1 run, he's looking good, the pull shot this time, but the man at fine leg is square and he cuts it off

S Kishore says: Chahar reminds of Bhuvi in his early days.

3.2

SN Thakur to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, MI need more of these. The start doesn't justify the surface on offer, yes CSK bowled tight, but they could have had more runs. This is full and on the stumps, Suryakumar on-drives and beats mid-on

3.1

SN Thakur to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, overpitched and Suryakumar just essays a lovely cover drive. Gentle step forward and then the free flow of the bat, he ball bounced over cover-point, that tells you how good the square is. A batsman's paradise it should be

Slip and gully in now

2.5

Chahar to Suryakumar Yadav, no run, this one rushes Suryakumar on the back foot defence

2.4

Chahar to Suryakumar Yadav, no run, short of length delivery outside off stump, Suryakumar punches it towards cover

Suryakumar Yadav, right handed bat, comes to the crease

2.3

Chahar to de Kock, out Caught by Kedar Jadhav!! He does it again, Chahar! Bowls tight, builds pressure and forces the mistake. Such as asset he's turned out to be for Dhoni and Co. This is an inswinging short of length delivery, de Kock wanted to smash this to the mid-wicket boundary as the runs weren't coming, the bat turned in his hands as he slogged at this and it went straight to square leg. Chahar roars in delight. Mind you, QdK is in great form and it's not easy to keep him calm. de Kock c Kedar Jadhav b Chahar 4(7) [4s-1]

Chahar to de Kock, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

2.2

Chahar to de Kock, FOUR, inside edge past the sticks. It's always dangerous playing a horizontal shot to an inswinging delivery, de Kock wanted to cut, luckily it missed the poles and beat fine leg

2.1

Chahar to Rohit, 1 run, Chahar tries outswinger from middle and leg line and ends up bowling on the pads, Rohit flicks to square leg, Shardul fumbles and allows a run

Chants of "CSK, CSK, CSK," at one of India's loudest stadiums. Mind you, this is MI's home.

1.5

SN Thakur to Rohit, no run, now the line is very tight, Thakur bowls a fullish ball close to off stump, Rohit defends

1.4

SN Thakur to Rohit, no run, now Rohit throws his bat and gets beaten, widish outswinger from Thakur, Rohit targetted the cover region, made no contact

1.3

SN Thakur to Rohit, no run, now Rohit walks down the pitch to counter swing, Thakur drags the length back, Rohit taps it towards cover-point

Stat alert: Rohit Sharma has made 77 runs in 50 balls (13f, 1s) S/r 154.00 during PP in IPL 2019.

1.2

SN Thakur to Rohit, no run, oh lovely outswinger, line is very close to the off stump, so Rohit had to play, the late movement meant Rohit wasn't sure about his feet movement, ended up poking at the ball and it almost took the edge

1.1

SN Thakur to Rohit, no run, Thakur begins with a 139.7kph leg stump yorker, Rohit carefully digs it out to mid-wicket

Shardul Thakur, right-arm fast medium, comes into the attack

Another good first over from Chahar. He keeps it simple, moves the ball slightly and bowls good lines game after game.

0.4

Chahar to de Kock, no run, width for de Kock but he can't beat the man at cover-point with this ill-timed cut shot

0.3

Chahar to de Kock, no run, good length delivery swinging back in, de Kock mistimes the slap into the off-side

0.2

Chahar to de Kock, no run, short and wide outside off stump, left alone, so close to being a wide

Stat alert from Mohandas Menon: MI has the second best R/o of 8.89 during Powerplay after SRH (10.11) in IPL 2019.

0.1

Chahar to de Kock, no run, oh wow wow! How do you play at those? This is a good length delivery, bowled at gentle pace, around 128kph, de Kock was lining up inswing, but this one moved away off the pitch and squared him up, just bounced past off stump, could so easily have been the edge as well
