11.40pm Pune have completed the double over their cross-expressway rivals Mumbai. Ben Stokes was the star for Pune. He had two wickets before he conceded a run. He then came back to give away only seven runs off the penultimate over to set things up for his side, despite Rohit's first half-century of the season. Stokes took a sharp catch and effected a run out too.

It ultimately boiled down to Mumbai needing 17 off the last six balls. Unadkat, picked ahead of Thakur and Christian to bowl the final over, removed Hardik off the first ball. Three balls later he dismissed Rohit to shut Mumbai out. Pune move to fourth with their third successive win.

"It is disappointing after being so close," Rohit says. I thought we tried our best, gave everything we could, but it was disappointing not to finish the game. I don't want to be too critical of our performance. We lost wickets in the middle, and that was the mistake on the part of us. Overall, it was a great game. The pitch was a little dry and was assisting the spinners. Our spinners did the job pretty well, you need to understand the pace you have to bowl at the Wankhede. We have been playing good cricket. We have to forget what happened tonight and move on. It was good to get some runs, but disappointing not to finish the match. Jaydev bowled a great last over. It takes a lot of courage; he got a wicket in the first ball, which is always critical. Needing 17, you can't lose a wicket off the first ball.

"I thought we scrapped really well in the end," Smith says. "Stoksy in the second half was excellent, Unadkat got us over the line. The dew was not too bad. We thought it would be worse, we held together, and the wicket played the same for the 40 overs. It was not a traditional Wankhede wicket. 160 was probably around par, and tonight we were able to take wickets in the middle and keep the pressure on. Unadkat went wide of the crease and bowled a hard length."

"Another solid team performance. Did not get off to the best of starts, but we are putting in the performances," Stokes, the Man of the Match, says. The slower balls are coming on nicely. The pitches have been conductive to the slower-paced deliveries. I am absolutely loving it. This is my first experience. Pretty thankful to be playing here."

That is all we have for you from this match. Thanks for your company and comments. Ciao tomorrow. Good night for now

Rightly so, as Rohit went a long way outside off. He is peeved. He walks across to the other end to have what looks like a heated conversation with umpire Ravi. The leg umpire Nand Kishore intervenes, and the situation has been diffused. Let us move on, fellas
