18.4 to Yadav, Sandeep puts Suryakumar out of his misery. He picks up his second wicket with the knuckle ball. Floated outside off, Suryakumar hits early and ends up dragging a catch to Hooda at long-on 136/7

18.5 to Sangwan, big appeal for lbw from Sandeep. This looks plumb. Umpire Nandan, however, shoots down the appeal. SRH challenge the on-field not-out decision. Another knuckle ball, hits the back pad in front of middle as the batsman plays across the line early and misses the ball altogether. It would have crashed into middle stump. Umpire Nandan eventually reverses his decision 136/8

1.6 to Sharma, Shakib dives forward from square leg and pouches a low catch to dismiss Rohit Sharma. Another failure for him as Mumbai Indians' opener. This was short, skiddy, and attacking the body, Rohit is cramped up. This isn't a full-blooded flick. He chips it in the air and watches Shakib take a sprawling catch 11/1

14.5 to Pollard, Pollard checks his punch but the ball has carried all the way to Dhawan at sweeper cover. 143.3ks short ball outside off, sticks in the pitch, Pollard yanks his bottom hand off the bat, the ball springs off the bat and into the hands of Dhawan. He slaps his thigh in celebration. What a bizarre dismissal 110/5

17.3 to Cutting, Rashid storms through the gate of Cutting with another ripping wrong'un. This is slower through the air, breaks back in from outside off, Cutting ventures down the track, swishes and does not make contact. Rashid rattles the stumps and claims his first wicket of the night 133/6

5.2 to Ishan Kishan, Sunrisers have their man finally. Back of a length and angling away outside off, Kishan looks to slog it away against the angle and across the line. Another low-percentage shot. This time he skies it to deep third man, where Yusuf Pathan slides on his knees and completes a sharp, low catch despite being blinded by the floodlights 48/2

5.6 to Lewis, Kaul strikes twice in his first over. He hits the top of off stump and leaps for job. He brings out the knuckle ball, Lewis has no clue about this variation. He is early into his leg-side swing. Kaul cleans him up 54/3

8.5 to Pandya, Another soft, soft dismissal. Non-turner outside off, Shakib lobs it up in the air. Krunal expects it to turn but it doesn't. He closes the face early and chips a leading edge to Williamson at extra cover 72/4

17.4 to Pathan, Bumrah bounces out Pathan and gives Mumbai hope. Chest-high short ball on middle, rushes a pull, Pathan flaps it in the air. Pollard at short midwicket lumbers to his right and clings onto the ball 136/6

17.5 to Rashid Khan, Two in two balls for Bumrah! He has Rashid nicking off now. Pitched up and outside off, Rashid stays leg-side of the ball and aims for an expansive dive. He does not get enough bat on it and only edges it behind to Kishan. Okay, I spoke too soon. Sunrisers still need 12 off 13 balls 136/7

6.5 to Saha, Saha steps out, Markande foxes him with a quicker googly, hits the thigh pad. Lbw appeal, but umpire Llong does not budge. Going down leg? Mumbai go for a review. Spins in, bounces to hit the front flap, the tracker returns three reds. Umpire Llong is bemused. He reverses his decision 62/1

8.5 to Dhawan, Burmrah snags the catch at the edge of the long leg boundary. Markande has opened the game up for Mumbai. Tossed up and bounces on middle, finds the top edge as Dhawan goes to sweep. Bumrah judges it well in the deep. Just like that Mumbai have taken three wickets in three overs 77/3

10.2 to Pandey, Pandey ventures down the track and skies it. Rohit runs across to his right from extra cover, this was Markande's catch but he leaves it to his captain. Rohit stretches across to his right and hangs onto it. For a moment, I thought this was going to fall between Rohit and Markande. It was poor shot from Pandey. He steps out, slogs against the turn and holes out 89/4

12.6 to Shakib Al Hasan, Markande has his fourth with his last ball of the night. Wrong'un, breaks away outside off, Shakib reads it off the pitch, and drags a thick inside edge back onto the stumps. What a spell from Markande. He ends with a potentially match-winning 4-0-23-4 107/5

7.6 to Williamson, good length and cutting away outside off, past the outside edge? Kishan goes up for an appeal. Mustafiz isn't convinced. Not given by the umpire. It prompts another review from Mumbai. Breaks away sharply outside off and bounces in the channel, Williamson attempts a late cut but the ball gets big on him. He feathers it behind. UltraEdge detects a tiny spike. No woody sound, just a little spike, and it's enough to overturn the not-out decision. Former Sunriser Mustafiz strikes 73/2

18.4 to Kaul, Mustafiz pockets a one-handed return catch. This was a Mustafiz special: cutter, skipping away outside off, Kaul chips a leading edge to the left of the bowler. Mustafiz stretches out his left hand and comes out with the ball. Mumbai edge ahead 137/8

18.6 to Sandeep Sharma, Mustafizur has his hands aloft in delight. Sandeep attempts to clear short fine leg. No dice. He shows his ace early and shuffles across off stump. Mustafiz chases him with a short ball that gets big on the batsman. He miscues a scoop to Krunal Pandya. Not sure if the batsmen crossed over 137/9
