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