18.4 - A Russell to Pandya, SIX, Pandya registers his maiden T20 League fifty. The whole MUM dug-out stands up and applauds the young man's effort. Pandya just raises his bat and acknowledges it. Back of a length, Pandya was expecting it, pulls it over deep mid-wicket to reach the landmark in style

17.5 - Narine to Pandya, SIX, clean strike! Full and in the slot, on middle and leg, Pandya comes forward, gets under that and tonks it over cow corner. The ball went flat and a long way into the stands

4.2 - Shakib to Parthiv Patel, out Caught by M Pandey!! Parthiv has thrown away yet another start!

19.2 - Pollard to U Yadav, FOUR, ohh dear! That's poor fielding from Malinga, it was on middle and leg, Yadav helps it behind square on the on-side, Malinga at short fine leg fails to get down in time and stop it, the turn probably did him in and the ball runs away to the fence

17.3 - McClenaghan to Y Pathan, FOUR, that's intelligently played by Pathan, this was a back of a length delivery outside off, Pathan stays back and upper cuts it late, gets it over a leaping short third man and the ball runs away to the fence

16.4 - Vinay to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Yadav. Vinay bowls a back of a length delivery well outside off, Yadav slashes hard and gets it over backward point, third man was finer and the ball runs away to the fence

16.3 - Vinay to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, deft touch! That's a super shot at this stage. This was bowled well wide outside off, Yadav waits inside the crease, opens the face of the bat very late and gets it to the right of the keeper, who dives in vain. Third man was inside the circle and it was always going away to the fence

16.1 - Vinay to Y Pathan, FOUR, that's been smashed! It was a short of length delivery outside off, Pathan waits on the back foot and punches it wide of mid-off, who dives but it goes in vain. The ball crashes into the fence in a jiffy

15.2 - Malinga to Y Pathan, FOUR, that's a nice looking shot, it was full and just outside off, it was the slower one as well, Pathan drills it to the right of the bowler, the umpire had to duck for cover. Pollard from long-on runs to his left, puts in the dive but fails to stop the ball

10.4 - Jagadeesha Suchith to Gambhir, FOUR, Gambhir too is not holding back, he gives the charge this time around and heaves it to the deep mid-wicket fence. That almost carried the distance, bounces just short of the rope

9.1 - Harbhajan to Gambhir, FOUR, this was not all that short, Gambhir uses the depth of the crease, goes right back and cut its square of the wicket, the timing on that didn't give the sweeper fielder any chance

8.4 - Jagadeesha Suchith to Y Pathan, FOUR, beaten on the previous ball and four on the next, that's Pathan for you. Tossed up outside off, Pathan makes room and lofts it inside out to wide long-off, it was in the air, Pollard runs to his left, dives and gets a hand, but can't cling on. That would have gone into the list of spectacular catches had he taken it

6.0 - Harbhajan to Y Pathan, FOUR, Pathan off and running. Fraction short and outside off, Pathan uses the pace on the ball and cuts it behind point, Simmons can't stop that and it races away to the fence. An adventurous first over from Bhajji comes to an end. It had everything six, wickets and four

4.2 - McClenaghan to Uthappa, FOUR, back of a length on off, Uthappa plants his front foot forward and pulls it over the leaping mid-wicket fielder, he got it right off the meat as the ball reached the fence in a jiffy

3.5 - Vinay to Uthappa, FOUR, fabulous shot! After a couple of awful shots, Uthappa connects with one. Banged in halfway down the wicket, he was expecting it, rocks back and nails the pull to deep mid-wicket, it almost went the distance. The third umpire confirmed that it went on the bounce

3.1 - Vinay to Gambhir, FOUR, cracking shot! Vinay is greeted to the attack with a superb shot. Gambhir makes room as he gives the charge, converts it into a length delivery, opens the bat face and drills the drive in the air wide of cover-point, Suchith dived but it was well wide of him

2.3 - Malinga to Gambhir, FOUR, super shot! Just a few inches short of yorker length, Gambhir leans forward and flicks it handsomely in front of square, no fielder at mid-wicket and the ball rockets to the fence

1.4 - McClenaghan to Gambhir, FOUR, Gambhir is very strong in that area. Fraction short and hint of width, he gets on top of the bounce and cuts it to the right of backward point, Pollard dives in vain. He did well to find the gap there

0.2 - Malinga to Uthappa, FOUR, lovely shot! Malinga goes straight and drifts it onto the pads, Uthappa presses forward and flicks it elegantly over the infield, the ball races away to the deep mid-wicket fence

18.4 - Malinga to Y Pathan, SIX, what a way to get to your fifty! His 9th in T20 League. This was full and on the stumps, Pathan knew this was coming and smokes it over the deep mid-wicket fence for a maximum

10.2 - Jagadeesha Suchith to Y Pathan, SIX, that's smashed! It was floated up well outside off, Pathan reaches out and lofts it handsomely over the long-off fence

5.1 - Harbhajan to Uthappa, SIX, Bhajji welcomed to the attack with a massive hit. Flighted delivery on middle and leg, Uthappa kneels down and middles the slog sweep, the ball sails away over deep square leg

19.1 - Pollard to Y Pathan, out Caught by Parthiv Patel!! Pollard strikes with the first ball and that gets the crowd going. Pathan walks back dejected. It was the slower short ball from Pollard, Pathan goes for the pull but can only manage to get a top-edge, Patel moves to his left and takes a simple catch. Don't know why but Pathan stood in his crease, he should have at least crossed there. Y Pathan c Parthiv Patel b Pollard 52(37) [4s-5 6s-2]

17.1 - McClenaghan to Suryakumar Yadav, out Caught by Rayudu!! Rayudu is on the run after taking a good catch. Yadav's little stay at the crease comes to an end. It was bowled on middle stump line, Yadav goes across and flicks it in the air, he hit it quite well but it didn't have enough to clear the fence. Rayudu from deep square leg runs to his right and takes a good catch. McClenaghan is delighted to pick his first wicket of the night. Suryakumar Yadav c Rayudu b McClenaghan 11(5) [4s-2]

15.5 - Malinga to A Russell, out Caught by Parthiv Patel!! Malinga is jubilant as the dangerman Russell is gone. It was full and outside off, Russell went chasing after the drive, gets an outside edge as Malinga outfoxed him with a slower one. Parthiv bends forward and takes a good low catch slightly to his right. A Russell c Parthiv Patel b Malinga 2(4)

14.2 - Vinay to Shakib, out Caught by Pandya!! Pandya holds onto the catch and looks relieved. Shakib backed away this time and Vinay Kumar followed him and cramped him for room, Shakib goes for the pull but miscues it completely as it hit him high on the bat. Pandya charges in from deep mid-wicket and takes a good catch. Shakib c Pandya b Vinay 23(15) [4s-3]

11.0 - Jagadeesha Suchith to Gambhir, out Bowled!! Looks like Pandya's prayers after that dropped chance have been answered. Gambhir comes down the track this time to the ball that was turning in towards him, stays leg-side and goes for a big shot, ends up yorking himself and the ball hits the leg stump. Suchith is pumped after taking that wicket and Pandya too can be seen his hands close together, breathing a sigh of relief. Gambhir b Jagadeesha Suchith 38(29) [4s-5]

5.5 - Harbhajan to Gambhir, out M Pandey Run Out!! A wicket gifted away by KOL. Once again brilliance in the field from Simmons. Pushed through on leg-stump, Gambhir glances it to short fine, Pandey calls for a needless run, he knew he was struggling, puts in the dive, but Simmons hits the bull's eye. MUM are back in the game in just 3 balls. M Pandey run out (Simmons) 1(1)

5.3 - Harbhajan to Uthappa, out Caught by Malinga!! Harbhajan has his man. That is a good comeback after being hit off the first ball. It was a nothing shot really from Uthappa. Quicker and on the stumps, Uthappa goes down on one knee, plays the lap shot to short fine, didn't get the elevation to clear Malinga, who juggled a couple of times before taking it. Uthappa c Malinga b Harbhajan 25(20) [4s-3 6s-1]

10.5 - Jagadeesha Suchith to Gambhir, 2 runs, dropped! How costly is that going to be? It was a flighted delivery outside off, Gambhir once again steps out and hoicks it over mid-wicket, doesn't get the desired distance. Pandya runs to his right in the deep, gets both hands to it, but shells it
