7.55pm With only five minutes to go for the Royal Challengers-Rising Pune game, I'm not sure we're going to get any feed from the Wankhede presentation. We do k know, however, that Nitish Rana won the Player of the Match award. Anyway, do pop over to our ball-by-ball commentary from the game at the Chinnaswamy. It should be a cracker!

SagarK: "So...Hardik remains not out for 5th consecutive time at close of MI Inning."

Yashwanth: "Mumbai are generally considered slow starters. But this year they are really cracking it right from the beginning just like they did in IPL3. Who will be CSK this year? :P"

7.41pm An unbeaten knock from Rohit, and one to steal victory for his team. That's 19 wins out 21 for the chasing team at Wankhede. Gujarat continue to look thin on the bowling and once more, that lack of depth has affected them despite getting a very good score. Rana the hero once again, and Hardik unbeaten yet again - but this time Buttler and Rohit chipped in too. An impressive win for Mumbai and they've plonked themselves at the top of the table. Four wins out of five.

Kumar to Sharma, 2 runs, yorker at off stump, backs away, exposes the stumps and squeezes it to sweeper cover's left...hobbles back for the second and wins it for his team

Kumar to Sharma, 2 runs, yorker at leg stump, clears the front leg and pushes it with soft hands in front of long-on....where Jadeja runs it rapidly and picks up and throws to hit the stumps direct as Pandya returns. It's been referred....and he's not out.

Jadeja runs it rapidly from long-on and hits the stumps direct as Pandya returns. It's been referred.

Kumar to Sharma, FOUR, oh great from Rohit. He has a sore knee, but he's bent down nice and low in anticipation of the yorker. Cuts the length on it, cuts the angle too. Takes it on the full and dabs it fine past the keeper

Mumbai need 8. Praveen will bowl the last over. Around the wicket.

END OF OVER:
19 | 9 Runs 1 Wkt | MI: 169/4 (8 runs required from 6 balls, RR: 8.89, RRR: 8.00)

Tye to Sharma, 1 run, full outside off stump, nice flourish on the cover drive, but it's straight to sweeper cover
18.5
1
Tye to HH Pandya, 1 run, slower ball, full at off stump. He has hammered this uppishly past the bowler's left hand. But once more McCullum is really straight

Tye to HH Pandya, 1 wide, good length, angled down the leg side past his attemped flick

Tye to Sharma, 1 run, overpitched at leg stump, lifts it off the toe-end to long-on

Tye to HH Pandya, 1 run, slower ball, full at middle stump, flicked gracefully to deep midwicket's left

Tye to HH Pandya, FOUR, slower ball, full outside off stump. Throws his arms at this and gets it off the outside half of the bat, between backward point and short third man

Hardik ahead of Krunal. Hardik Pandya has scored 54 off 19 balls in the last two overs this season.

Tye to Pollard, OUT, starts with an overpitched ball at leg stump, clears the front leg and tries to lift this over deep midwicket. He's got a lot of elevation on it but he can't beat Jadeja at deep midwicket

KA Pollard c Jadeja b Tye 39 (32m 23b 2x4 3x6) SR: 169.56

Tye will bowl the 19th.

END OF OVER:
18 | 6 Runs | MI: 160/3 (17 runs required from 12 balls, RR: 8.88, RRR: 8.50)

  • Kieron Pollard39 (22b)
  • Rohit Sharma30 (24b)
  • Basil Thampi4-0-34-0
  • Andrew Tye3-0-25-1

Thampi and Malinga have bowled seven yorkers each this season - the most by any bowler.

17.6
1
Basil Thampi to Pollard, 1 run, sees Pollard walk at him. Adjusts and still finds the full length, but it's clipped off the toes to deep backward square
17.5
1
Basil Thampi to Sharma, 1 run, low full toss at leg stump, flicks it straight to deep midwicket
17.4
1
Basil Thampi to Pollard, 1 run, another perfect yorker. This slams into Pollard's pad but it has struck him outside leg stump. Big appeal, but it's a leg-bye to short third man in the end
17.3
1
Basil Thampi to Sharma, 1 run, yorker at middle stump, squeezed down to long-on
17.2
1
Basil Thampi to Pollard, 1 run, in the blockhole outside off stump. He squeezes it out to point and takes off, but Rohit's dodgy knee means he has no interest in this. Sends Pollard back. Kishan runs in fast but releases the ball a little too late. Doesn't hit the stumps in the end and it's an overthrow to deep square. Pollard was halfway down the pitch when he was sent back
17.1
1
Basil Thampi to Sharma, 1 run, goes for the yorker, misses, low full toss at middle stump that is driven straight to long-on

Thampi

Tye to Pollard, 1 run, knuckle ball, full at leg stump. Looks to whip this again, no timing. Thick inside edge to long leg
16.4

Tye to Pollard, FOUR, full and fast at leg stump, no feet, whips it wide of long-on who is also quite straight for Pollard
16.3
6
Tye to Pollard, SIX, back of a length outside off, slower ball sits up nicely and he flat-bats this straight over the bowler. McCullum very straight at long-off and leaps up to his right, but it's too powerful
16.2
0
Tye to Pollard, no run, ouch. Rohit is on the floor. Tye has bowled a full ball outside off stump that Pollard has thumped back at his partner who can't get out of the way quickly. It slams him plush on the side of his right knee. He's on the floor outside the crease but Tye is not looking for the run out. In fact, pushes him back into the crease as he checks on him. He's back up now, but standing well wide.

1
Tye to Sharma, 1 run, back of a length slower ball outside off stump, mistimed chop on the up to fine sweeper cover

Tye.

END OF OVER:
16 | 9 Runs | MI: 141/3 (36 runs required from 24 balls, RR: 8.81, RRR: 9.00)

  • Rohit Sharma25 (19b)
  • Kieron Pollard25 (15b)
  • Ravindra Jadeja4-0-34-0
  • Dwayne Smith1-0-12-0

The second time-out now. Mumbai need exactly nine an over in the last four overs. This season so far, they've scored at 12.96 in the last five while chasing.

15.6
1
Jadeja to Sharma, 1 run, good length at off stump, backs away again and drives uprightly to long-off
15.5

Jadeja to Sharma, SIX, predictable from Jadeja. Good length, angled in flat at off stump. He backs away and slaps this on the up, wide of long-off. Just clears the boundary line
15.4
1
Jadeja to Pollard, 1 run, full and fired in at 105 kph outside off stump, slams this hard down the ground and even Jadeja can't react fast enough. Long-off is across to cut it off though
