- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.3 he picks out midwicket, Steyn delivered the slower one this time, Dhawan, looking to improvise, walked well across and tried to flick that over the in-field, didn't time it well enough, offered an easy catch to Dravid 83/42.5 Praveen nets the big fish! Good delivery on the channel, it had Sachin fishing, he chose to defend to the off side - probably would have been better off walking across as he did previously. Faint outside edge and it finishes in the delighted Uthappa's gloves. 19/13.2 Rayudu perishes! The happy flashing outside off did not last too long, third time unlucky! Short and wide again, he flashed without moving across, this time got a thick outside edge that flew very quickly to Dravid's right at slip. He jumped to the right and pouched it smartly. Mumbai are reeling. 22/28.2 South African takes out South African in a game between two Indian franchises! Length ball on middle and leg, Duminy gets under it and looks to time it over long on. Pretty well timed, but not well enough to clear long on. Duminy's struggles end. 51/312.6 It's Steyn's show, followed up the slower one with a pacy delivery on middle and leg, it held its line, a touch too quick for Pollard who looked to turn the face, some bounce as well, it caught the leading edge and landed safe in the palms of Ross Taylor at extra cover, Mumbai in trouble now, Steyn's reaction was worth a watch, very animated and Bangalore know they're on top 84/518.4 a waist-high full toss on middle, Bravo tries to smack him over midwicket, gets a top edge and Kohli, at mid-off, runs back to snap a comfortable catch, Bravo runs back for the second, expecting it to be called a no-ball but the umpires think it was a legitimate delivery 148/619.5 run-out, yorker outside off, it's dug out past the bowler towards long-off, Tiwary wants the second and Harbhajan responds, it isn't there, a good return from the deep, Kallis fumbles but Harbhajan has given up, Kallis recovers it and takes off the stumps to find him well short 163/7Extras19 (b 9, lb 4, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL165/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.25)Fall of wickets: 1-19 (Sachin Tendulkar, 2.5 ov), 2-22 (Ambati Rayudu, 3.2 ov), 3-51 (Jean-Paul Duminy, 8.2 ov), 4-83 (Shikhar Dhawan, 12.3 ov), 5-84 (Kieron Pollard, 12.6 ov), 6-148 (Dwayne Bravo, 18.4 ov), 7-163 (Harbhajan Singh, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.2 Nechim has struck, it wasn't all to fervent an appeal after that ball hit Kallis on the pads, umpire didn't think too long before raising his finger though, pitching perhaps on middle and looked to be drifting down, that looks like a poor decision, particularly as he bowled that from wide of the crease, Hawk-Eye however says that it pitched on offstump and was going on to hit leg, didn't look out first time though 41/16.5 the Duminy drop doesn't prove costly at all, Uthappa is gone the next ball, on the pads, whipped to deep backward square leg where Dhawan pouches it, and that's a big wicket 50/210.1 Taylor has gone! Monster of a top edge for Taylor as he looks to back away and hack Bravo's full delivery over the leg side. The edge swirls high into the air, I can see the banner of the multi-storey Hilton hotel in the background, that's how high it went. In the game of two part-time keepers, Rayudu has come up trumps. He gets under that swirler and takes it with a tumble 72/313.5 Bhajji has foxed White with a wily piece of bowling! White was moving all over the crease, setting himself up for anything short of over-pitched. Harbhajan responded with the yorker, perfectly on off stump, White can't jam the bat down quick enough. Off stump is pegged back 100/419.6 The answer is no! Spare a thought for Kohli, but put ypour hands together for Rayudu who has taken another swirler under the Durban lights! Zaheer has come apart spectacularly, he delivers another full toss on Kohli's pads, Kohli was probably expecting it again, and turned his bat a moment too early, it took a top edge and looped away to the upper reaches of the stratosphere. It took an eternity to come down, but Rayudu had it covered. He throws it up in relief. Kohli is distraught. Mumbai have won a superb game of cricket here. 163/5Extras8 (b 2, lb 2, w 4)TOTAL163/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.15)Fall of wickets: 1-41 (Jacques Kallis, 5.2 ov), 2-50 (Robin Uthappa, 6.5 ov), 3-72 (Ross Taylor, 10.1 ov), 4-100 (Cameron White, 13.5 ov), 5-163 (Virat Kohli, 19.6 ov)
