  One Aussie gets the other, Smith cleaned up

  Steve Smith Bowled. Pattinson wins the Australian battle. An in-seamer from a length and Smith hangs back and punches without any feet movement. The ball drags onto his sticks via an inside edge. 

  Sanju Samson, the right-handed bat, comes to the crease.

  Uthappa's innings ends, RR 13/1

  Pattinson has his revenge as he pulls his length back by a fraction. Uthappa shuffles a bit to heave/pull across the line, but no timing whatsoever as the ball pops up off and a dolly to Pollard. The skipper pouches it with ease at mid-off. 

  Steven Smith, the right-handed bat, comes to the crease.

  Hardik Pandya powers Mumbai to 195/5

  An enormous total posted by Mumbai Indians thanks to Hardik Pandya's belligerent knock. Quinton de Kock smashed a cracking six against Jofra in the first over but was sent back on the very next ball. 

  Ishan Kishan struggled to get going, but Suryakumar Yadav played a fluent knock of 40 that laid the foundation.

  Mumbai did lose wickets in between, but the partnership between Saurabh Tiwary and Hardik helped Mumbai get their innings back on track. 

  Ankit Rajpoot received some Pandya show at the end when conceded 60 runs in 4 overs. Mumbai Indians have managed to reach closer to the 200-run mark.

  195 is the highest 1st innings total in Abu Dhabi this season; highest target chased down in only 163.

  Average 1st inngs scores in Abu Dhabi

  MI: 187 (5 inngs)

  Other teams: 151 (11 inngs)

  Saurabh Tiwary goes for 34

  Another full toss by Jofra Archer, but this time they manage to get a wicket. Saurabh Tiwary lofted it well but could reach only as far as long-on. 

  Krunal Pandya, the left-handed bat, comes to the crease.

  Hardik Pandya is smashing the ball across the park

  Hardik Pandya is on FIRE. Ankit Rajpoot must be frustrated as he is hit for 4 sixes in his over.

  2 wickets for Shreyas Gopal

  Suryakumar Yadav and Kieron Pollard both depart to Shreyas Gopal's bowling. This could be the game-changer RR need.

  Hardik Pandya, the right-handed bat, comes to the crease.

  Ishan Kishan's knock ends, Kartik Tyagi breaks the partnership

  What a one-handed stunner from Jofra Archer to dismiss Ishan Kishan. No one expected that, even the RR teammates who were shocked.

  Saurabh Tiwary, the left-handed bat, comes to the crease.

  Injury?

  The second over of Archer sees Kishan beaten for pace on the flick. He limps around for a bit and is now lying flat on his back looking in a lot of pain.

  Quinton de Kock BOWLED by Jofra Archer

  Jofra Archer hits back as the leg stump is uprooted off the inside edge. Just a complete lack of footwork from de Kock. 

  Suryakumar Yadav, the right-handed bat, comes to the crease.

  Rohit Sharma Update

  MI were without Rohit Sharma against the Chennai Super Kings and the side still smashed them by 10 wickets. The victory gave Kieron Pollard his 15th win in a row as a captain in the T20s.
