- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.3 excellent response, the line goes a bit wider and the length fuller but well short of a driving length, especially on this bouncy surface. Shaw has been eager to drive on the up today, but he stays a little leg-side of the ball at all times, and early in his innings that can make him play inside the line, especially when the ball is angling away from him. He does so here, and gets a thin edge through to de Kock 10/115.1 picks out deep midwicket went for the flat-batted pull, but there wasn't much pace on it, the off-cutter from Hardik and he doesn't get the distance on it. Straight to Suryakumar at deep midwicket. Dhawan knew he had to get on with it, hence the shot, but he's gone now. 131/43.4 fullish on off stump, and Iyer's cameo ends courtesy an excellent catch from Kieron Pollard at extra-cover. Looks for another lofted drive, but doesn't get the elevation this time, and doesn't get it far enough wide of Pollard. He throws himself to his right, and grabs it one-handed at about shoulder height 29/212.6 picks out Hardik at deep midwicket picked it up from wide of off stump and wanted to send it several rows back, but there's no pace on the ball and he ends up getting height but not the distance. Hardik back-pedals and takes it, and is careful to not step over the boundary rope 112/316.5 typical McClenaghan wicket. Bouncer, hits the pitch hard and gets the ball up above the right shoulder of the batsman. He's working against that height and the angle away from him, and all he manages is a top edge that balloons high before settling in Quinton de Kock's gloves 157/517.2 gone, well bowled. Hammers the pitch with this bouncer, and despite the angle he usually creates, exaggeratedly away from the left-hander, he manages to cramp Axar. Leans back to try and ramp it but the lack of room to free his arms means not enough power, and he hits it straight to the fielder at third man 165/6Extras6 (lb 2, nb 2, w 2)TOTAL213/6 (20 Overs, RR: 10.65)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Prithvi Shaw, 1.3 ov), 2-29 (Shreyas Iyer, 3.4 ov), 3-112 (Colin Ingram, 12.6 ov), 4-131 (Shikhar Dhawan, 15.1 ov), 5-157 (Keemo Paul, 16.5 ov), 6-165 (Axar Patel, 17.2 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.3 caught by Tewatia at deep square leg Sharma calling Sharma. Another slower ball, better radar then. On off and cutting in, Rohit went down to slog sweep but got a top edge. Tewatia was circling under it and mis-judged it almost, but in the end half-dived forward and held on. Big wicket. 33/15.5 he's holed out to fine leg Quinton was looking like he would 'Pant' his way through this innings, but he hoicks a back of length delivery on leg stump straight to Boult, who holds a smart catch over his head. Mumbai are crumbling 45/35.1 direct hit from Shreyas Iyer at mid-off and Suryakumar is comfortably short. Brilliant moment in the field from the DC captain, who has been very good patrolling mid-off through this innings. He pushed it hard and straight to Iyer, and set off, but Iyer was onto it and had enough time to line up the stumps and let fly 37/218.1 that's that, I guess. Full on leg stump, Yuvraj flicks it, and picks out the man at deep midwicket. It's been a struggle for Yuvraj, punctuated by flashes of the old strokeplay, and he walks off with a fighting fifty to his name 170/810.5 gone, excellent bit of deception. Fullish, angling in towards off stump, and Pollard doesn't pick the knuckle-ball. Drives at it, plays too early, checks his shot, and all he achieves is to balloon a simple catch to Tewatia at sweeper cover 95/411.2 another batsman falls to a ball that stops on him. Length ball, angling in towards off stump, holds on the pitch and bounces extra, and Pandya checks his drive and pops back the simplest of return catches, at waist height 95/514.6 got him, ends a threatening cameo with the slower ball. It's fairly full and angling into middle stump. Krunal has to make all the power himself, and he clears his front leg and slogs it away but can't clear the man at deep midwicket 134/616.2 serious pace again, and Rabada might just have sent back Mumbai's last recognised batsman. Fullish, but not on a driving length, in the corridor, and Cutting doesn't have any time to get a proper stride in to drive. Ends up playing away from his body, as a result, with an angled bat, and the ball zips past the edge or kisses it through to Pant. The umpire gives Cutting out, but he seems unsure whether he edged it or not. Consults with Yuvraj and reviews, but UltraEdge shows a little spike as the ball goes past his edge, and he'll have to walk back 153/719.2 whoops. A bit more flight outside off and McClenaghan swings too early, looking to slog with the turn. The ball slides past his bat and he drags his back foot out of the crease briefly, just long enough for Pant to knock off the bails 176/10Extras9 (lb 2, w 7)TOTAL176 all out (19.2 Overs, RR: 9.1)Fall of wickets: 1-33 (Rohit Sharma, 3.3 ov), 2-37 (Suryakumar Yadav, 5.1 ov), 3-45 (Quinton de Kock, 5.5 ov), 4-95 (Kieron Pollard, 10.5 ov), 5-95 (Hardik Pandya, 11.2 ov), 6-134 (Krunal Pandya, 14.6 ov), 7-153 (Ben Cutting, 16.2 ov), 8-170 (Yuvraj Singh, 18.1 ov), 9-176 (Mitchell McClenaghan, 19.2 ov)
