Anshul Kamboj to Trent Boult, SIX, why wasn't he sent above Krish Bhagat? Boult has smoked his first ball over the rope. Kamboj went over the wicket and offered a slot ball, Boult clears his front leg and heaves it into the deep mid-wicket stand

Anshul Kamboj to Hardik Pandya, out Caught by Dewald Brevis!! Hardik's struggles come to an end. He never got his rhythm or timing. 137.1ks fullish delivery on leg, Hardik does not quite get under the length as he attempts the straight-batted loft, gets more height than distance and Brevis settles under it near deep mid-wicket. Third wicket for Kamboj and he levels with Bhuvneshwar as the leading wicket-taker. Hardik Pandya c Dewald Brevis b Anshul Kamboj 18(23) [4s-2]

Anshul Kamboj to Hardik Pandya, FOUR, Kamboj comes round the wicket - does not quite nail the yorker, 137.7ks full delivery on the pads, Hardik flicks it in front of square, right between deep square leg and deep mid-wicket. Noor gets around and allows the ball to slip past his grasp

Anshul Kamboj to Robin Minz, out Bowled!! Dragged on! Four and out for Minz. 132.5ks back of a length delivery, angled across the southpaw, Minz stands tall and tries to force it through the off-side, gets an inside-edge and the ball dislodges the bails. Mumbai Indians' innings coming apart. They are six down and into the bowlers. Only Hardik can save them from a below par total. Robin Minz b Anshul Kamboj 5(3) [4s-1]

Anshul Kamboj to Robin Minz, FOUR, shot! Full and outside off, right in the slot and Minz does well not to overhit the drive, he bends his back knee and lifts it over extra cover. The timing takes care of the rest

Jamie Overton to Naman Dhir, out Caught by (sub)Sarfaraz Khan!! Excellent catch by Sarfaraz and Overton gets rid of the set batter. 123.8ks off-cutter that holds to the surface, Dhir backs away and is deceived for pace, does not get any timing on the drive and miscues it towards extra cover. Sarfaraz moves to his left, leaps and hangs on with both hands. A good knock from Dhir comes to an end. Naman Dhir c (sub)Sarfaraz Khan b Jamie Overton 57(37) [4s-4 6s-3]

Jamie Overton to Naman Dhir, SIX, that's more like it. Overton goes pace on and loses his line - too straight - on middle and leg, Dhir maintains a solid base and swings it over backward square leg. Mumbai Indians need plenty more of this..

Jamie Overton to Naman Dhir, 2 runs, 140.7ks sharp short ball and Dhir takes it on, but the ball keeps climbing and goes over the top-edge. Samson also fumbles and the pair scamper back for the second. It has been given as runs. So there was a thin top-edge. It will go down as a dropped catch by Samson. Fifty for Dhir.

Noor Ahmad to Tilak Varma, out Caught by Ruturaj Gaikwad!! Almost a collision between Ruturaj and Urvil, no harm done and more importantly the catch is taken. This is floated up invitingly by Noor, the conventional leg-break that turns away and Tilak looks to slog sweep against the spin, gets a thick top-edge and the ball skies towards cover. Ruturaj called for it but not sure Urvil heard him, they almost collide but it is Ruturaj who hangs on. Tilak Varma c Ruturaj Gaikwad b Noor Ahmad 5(8)

Ramakrishna Ghosh to Tilak Varma, 1 run, short of length around off, Tilak gets on top of the bounce and punches wide of cover

Ramakrishna Ghosh to Suryakumar Yadav, out Caught by Dewald Brevis!! Maiden IPL wicket for Ramakrishna Ghosh. And what a wicket to get! He stands there with his finger pointing upwards. And another start from SKY that's all, nothing more. Short of length delivery, Suryakumar tries his best to get on top of the bounce and carve it over point, but hits it flat and straight to sweeper cover. Brevis barely had to move as the ball came at a nice height for him. Suryakumar Yadav c Dewald Brevis b Ramakrishna Ghosh 21(12) [4s-3 6s-1]

Prashant Veer to Ryan Rickelton, SIX, 3 sixes = 18 runs off the over! 102.5kph, even quicker and Veer tries to bowl this one wider.

Prashant Veer to Ryan Rickelton, SIX, 95.6kph, Veer goes fuller and this one is closer to off. Rickelton brings out the slogsweep once again and clears the long-on fielder comfortably. Jamie Overton is a mere spectator

Anshul Kamboj to Ryan Rickelton, no run, run-out chance and Rickelton survives! 135.9kph, yorker length, Rickelton looks to squeeze it through the covers. He ends up jamming it into the pitch and Kamboj moves to his right to collect it. The bowler has a shy at the stumps at the keeper's end and misses the target. Rickelton had given up as he was well outside the crease. Luckily for him, there was no direct-hit. Kamboj has his hands on head

Anshul Kamboj to Naman Dhir, SIX, first six for Naman Dhir! 136kph, short of a good length ball on off-middle, Dhir rises as the ball comes to him, clears his front leg and swings through the line to tonk it over wide long-on for an 89m six
