R Khan to Ben Cutting, Cutting again goes for the sweep, a shot which he opts against the spinner. He however misses this one and gets hit on the pads.
Rashid Khan to bowl out.
S Kaul to S Yadav, FOUR! When you can hit these kind of shots, no need to run extra runs. Yadav is right on top of a short delivery and pulls it magnificently well through square leg for a boundary. No chance for the fielder in the deep. Spoils a good over in a way.
S Kaul to Ben Cutting, Turns it off his pads to mid-wicket and takes a run. Wants the second but Yadav is not interested. Maybe, still not up to the mark with his fitness.
S Kaul to S Yadav, The batsman premeditates his move. Hops back to create room on the off side but Kaul does well to let out a short ball in line of the stumps. Yadav goes for the pull but fails to middle it properly. Ends up forcing it down to long on and takes a run.
S Kaul to Ben Cutting, Good length delivery on middle, Cutting quietly works it through the big gap at mid-wicket and rotates the strike.
S Kaul to Ben Cutting, Short in length and outside off, Cutting cuts it firmly off his back foot but the point fielder stops it with a dive. No run taken. The non-striker was interested but rushed immediately as Hooda missed his shy at the bowler's end. Yadav seems to have hurt himself while diving and the physio comes out. Mumbai don't want another injury.
S Kaul to S Yadav, Kaul returns in the attack and angles in a full ball on off, Yadav pushes it down the ground, a bit aerially but safely, towards long on. A single taken.
Al Hasan to S Yadav, Flatter on leg stump, Yadav tries to pull but mistimes it towards deep mid-wicket for a run. 10 from this over, 121 on the board. How many more can Mumbai get? There are 4 overs left.

Ben Cutting walks out to the middle.
B Stanlake to K Pollard, OUT! In the air.. caught! There is the wicket Williamson wanted, there is the wicket the whole of Hyderabad wanted. Just as Mumbai were starting to get a move on, just as Pollard was starting to find the fence, he falls in a bizarre manner. Stanlake lands this one on a length around off, Pollard goes for the drive but as the ball sticks in the surface, he stops his shot midway. The ball, however, still hits the middle of the willow and goes high up in the air. It carries towards Dhawan who is positioned at deep extra cover and he takes a simple catch. Half the side back in the hut for Mumbai.
B Stanlake to K Pollard, Another short ball outside off, this one though is a little closer to the off pole. Pollard tries to cut but is beaten.
B Stanlake to K Pollard, FOUR! This is not the Pollard we know. He is playing with a lot of finesse and not with power. This one is short and outside off, Pollard cuts it past backward point and it runs away. 10 from the first 3 balls, this could be another good over to follow up the last one.
B Stanlake to K Pollard, Slower bouncer outside off, Pollard goes for the pull but misses.
B Stanlake to K Pollard, SIX! Welcome back to the bowling crease, Stanlake! What a shot that, he also holds the pose for the cameras. Full and on off, Pollard just lofts it over the bowler's end. Such is the power off the man that it goes all the way. Maximum off the first ball, pressure on the bowler.
Billy Stanlake is back into the attack.
Al Hasan to K Pollard, A single to end this over, it also brings up the 100 for Mumbai as Pollard works it around the corner for a run. 10 from this over, they need some more like this!
Al Hasan to S Yadav, The batsman drives this through the covers. The batsmen have run through for a single.
Al Hasan to K Pollard, Comes down the track again but Hasan fires it on the pads. Pollard flicks it towards square leg. He runs the first one hard, wants a second but is is not on.
Al Hasan to K Pollard, SIX! BOOM BOOM GOES POLLARD! A much-needed biggie this one. He comes down the track, Shakib bowls it slower outside off. Pollard gets to the pitch of it and tonks it over extra cover for a maximum.

Al Hasan to S Yadav, Flatter on middle, punches it down to long on for a run.
Shakib Al Hasan is back on.
R Khan to K Pollard, BEAUTY TO FINISH! The wrong 'un again! Pollard has no clue about it as he reaches to it to defend, leaving a gap between bat and pad. The ball spins back in, sneaks between the gap and almost kisses the off pole. End of another tight over, the brakes are applied here.
R Khan to S Yadav, A misfield! Yadav goes for the sweep but gets a bottom edge towards short fine leg. Stanlake there misfields and concedes a run.
R Khan to K Pollard, Tucks it around the corner for a run.
R Khan to S Yadav, The batsman has played it to the point region. They pick up a single.
R Khan to S Yadav, Tosses it up on off, driven towards covers.
R Khan to S Yadav, Another big appeal but the umpire shakes his head! This looked close though. Khan bowls the googly on off, it turns back in sharply. Yadav does not pick it and tries to guide it down towards third man. The ball though hits his front pad and goes to first slip. Williamson opts against the review as he felt it was too high.
S Kaul to K Pollard, FOUR! Smart batting! That third man was brought in for this ball and Pollard hits Kaul for a boundary there. He offers a little width outside off, that is enough for Pollard to guide it past the fielder at short third man for a boundary. But a good over, just 5 from it and only 9 from the last two.
S Kaul to K Pollard, Make that one from the first five. Can he finish it well? He lands this one on a length, does not offer a lot of room as Pollard keeps it out off the back foot.
S Kaul to S Yadav, A single as this one is eased down to long on. Just one from the first four balls.
S Kaul to S Yadav, Very good change in length! Goes short again on middle, Yadav is surprised by it as he goes for the pull but is beaten by pace.
S Kaul to S Yadav, Pollard stops a run there! Wonder what I have written? I will explain. Kaul bowls this on a fuller length on middle, Yadav strokes it towards mid on. It is an easy single however, Pollard at the other end cannot get his bat up in time and it hits his bat and goes towards mid-wicket. A dot in the end.
S Kaul to S Yadav, Back of a length on off, Yadav pushes it towards mid-wicket.

R Khan to K Pollard, Fires it on off, this time drags his length back a little. Pollard blocks it off the back foot.
