12.4 : Arshdeep Singh to Rohit Sharma, Gets away with one! Full and on the pads, this is worked fine on the leg side. Fine leg is back so just the one.
12.5 : Arshdeep Singh to Suryakumar Yadav, WIDE! Pressure getting to the youngster! Slower one down the leg side. Left alone.

Strategic Time-Out! A solid partnership between Suryakumar Yadav and Rohit Sharma has brought Mumbai back in the game. These two are looking good and can score at brisk pace towards the end. Punjab need to pick up wickets if they want to restrict to a total which their batters feel comfortable chasing. Fabian Allen is back in the attack. He went for 21 in his first two overs.

15.3 : Mohammed Shami to Suryakumar Yadav, Just short! Not sure why they went up. Both the bowler and the keeper had already for back to their position. Rahul indicated it did not. Just to be sure probably. A slower one outside off, extra bounce. Yadav looks to sweep but it goes off the top edge. Lands just short of Rahul who dives ahead. Shami is celebrating but Rahul says he is not sure. They go upstairs and replays show it has. It carried.
Is that a catch? The umpires go upstairs to check it. The ball has landed in front of Rahul's gloves before going in them. This will be not out.
15.5 : Mohammed Shami to Rohit Sharma, Just another single. On off, this is dragged towards deep square leg for one.
15.4 : Mohammed Shami to Suryakumar Yadav, Out comes the sweep again, this is very full and on off, it goes off the inner half, down to fine leg for one.
15.6 : Mohammed Shami to Suryakumar Yadav, A single to end! 8 from the over. Yadav looks to play the sweep again but the ball is way too full. It goes off the inner half down to fine leg. One more run.
Change. Ravi Bishnoi to bowl now. 3-0-19-1 for him so far.
16.2 : Ravi Bishnoi to Rohit Sharma, Loopy ball, on the stumps. Pushed down to long on for a single.
16.1 : Who will come out now? Kieron Pollard it is.
16.3 : Ravi Bishnoi to Kieron Pollard, Flatter ball, on the stumps. Pollard clips it to the leg side.
16.4 : Ravi Bishnoi to Kieron Pollard, FOUR BYES! That has beaten everyone and everything! Googly, lands outside off and turns back in. Kieron Pollard misses it altogether and the ball goes just past the stumps. Rahul fails to collect it and the ball runs to the fence.
16.5 : Ravi Bishnoi to Kieron Pollard, Off the mark! Flatter ball, on the pads. Clipped down to square leg for one.
16.6 : Ravi Bishnoi to Rohit Sharma, A dot ball to end a wonderful spell by the leggie! Loopy ball, around off. Sharma defends it back to the bowler.
17.1 : Mohammed Shami to Kieron Pollard, A slower one, it is eased down to long on for one.
17.2 : Mohammed Shami to Rohit Sharma, That has just missed the off pole. Rohit moves a little too far outside leg. He looks to loft it over covers as Shami bowls it full and outside off. He looks to lift it over covers but misses.
17.3 : Mohammed Shami to Rohit Sharma, OUT! Taken! There is the wicket Punjab desperately wanted. Rohit Sharma is a goner. Punjab finishing strongly here. A low full toss on the pads. Rohit flicks it nicely but flat. Long boundaries here and he holes out to the man at deep square leg. Rohit was the key if Mumbai needed to get upto 150. Looks very tough now.
Will we see Hardik Pandya come out to bat now? Yes, here he is.
17.4 : Mohammed Shami to Hardik Pandya, Just short! A slower one on off, Pandya looks to defend but it goes off the outside edge. Lands short of the keeper.
17.5 : Mohammed Shami to Hardik Pandya, Just the one! A low full toss on middle, this is hit down to long on for one.
6.6 : Ravi Bishnoi to Ishan Kishan, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Ishan Kishan's promotion doesn't work out for him! Googly this time, quicker through the air too. Lands outside off and turns away. Ishan Kishan goes for the cut but only gets the outside edge to KL Rahul behind the stumps. He takes a sharp catch. Mumbai slide further here.
16.1 : Ravi Bishnoi to Suryakumar Yadav, OUT! TAKEN! The leggie provides the breakthrough! Loopy ball, around off. Suryakumar Yadav looks to play the reverse sweep but the bit of extra bounce means that he only manages the top edge. The ball goes towards third man. Chris Gayle jogs backwards, settles under it and takes it easliy.
17.6 : Mohammed Shami to Kieron Pollard, Just the one! End of a brilliant over by Shami! On off, this is guided to point for one.
Who will bowl the penultimate over? Arshdeep Singh it is. He went for 17 in his first two.
18.1 : Arshdeep Singh to Kieron Pollard, SIX! Powerful stroke! Length ball, outside off. Kieron Pollard waits for it and then smacks it over the long off fence. Mumbai need a few more of these from him.
18.2 : Arshdeep Singh to Kieron Pollard, Full toss, outside off. Kieron Pollard comes down the track and goes for the drive. But gets the outside edge to short third man for one.
18.3 : Arshdeep Singh to Hardik Pandya, He's missed out on that one. Full toss, outside off. Hardik Pandya swings a bit too hard at it but fails to get any bat on it.
18.4 : Arshdeep Singh to Hardik Pandya, Full one, but way outside off. Pandya lets it go. Wided.
Krunal Pandya is the new man in.
Arshdeep Singh to Hardik Pandya, OUT! TAKEN! Good execution by Arshdeep Singh! Slower ball, full in length and outside off. Hardik Pandya looks to go over long off but doesn't get hold of it. Ends up giving an easy catch to Deepak Hooda there.
18.5 : Arshdeep Singh to Kieron Pollard, Full and wide outside off. Kieron Pollard goes for the drive but gets the outside edge to Chris Gayle at short third man. The batters take a single.
18.6 : Arshdeep Singh to Krunal Pandya, An excellent yorker to end the over, on the stumps. Krunal works it to the vacant mid-wicket region. Two taken. Rahul is not happy and rightly so. There was never two there. Henriques' approach to the ball was quite poor.
19.1 : Mohammed Shami to Kieron Pollard, Really full and on off, difficult to hit those. It is mistimed down to long off for one.
19.2 : Mohammed Shami to Krunal Pandya, Just the one again. Full and on off, Pandya looks to go over covers but it goes off the inner half down to long on for one.
19.3 : Mohammed Shami to Kieron Pollard, Just short and two! A full toss, Pollard loses one hand off the handle while trying to hit it. It lands safe in the mid-wicket region. Two taken.
19.4 : Mohammed Shami to Kieron Pollard, Brilliant from Shami. One more yorker this is hit down to long on for just the one. 
19.5 : Mohammed Shami to Krunal Pandya, OUT! This is a magical over so far from Shami! Gets a wicket now! That though is a superb catch. Shorter and outside off, Pandya lifts it over covers. The fielder in the deep, Pooran, runs to his right, dives and takes it.
Jayant Yadav is the new man in. He will be off strike though.
19.6 : Ravi Bishnoi says the wicket is sticky, it is not easy to hit the spinners and his team has bowled well. Adds the good length area is the area to bowl. States bowling wide outside off is not the way to go and you need to be more on the stumps. Ends by saying, that he feels his team can chase this down.
Mohammed Shami to Kieron Pollard, A single to end! Six from the final over and a wicket too. Outstanding from Shami. The last ball is hit down to long on for one. MUMBAI END WITH 131!
End of a superb bowling performance from Punjab and they will be pretty pleased with how things stand at the moment.
Right from the word go, they were on the money. Started off with Henriques and Hooda in the Powerplay and that worked brilliantly. They choked the runs and Hooda also got de Kock. Ravi Bishnoi then did his job in the middle phase. Shami and Arshdeep Singh finished things on a high for them.
Rohit and Yadav did get Mumbai back into the game with a good stand but they needed one of them to bat long. That was not the case as Both fell at the wrong time. Mumbai couldn’t finish well but will happy to finish where they are after the start they got. 
The target is a small one but the pitch is quite tricky. Mumbai’s bowlers are in form and they know how to defend on this ground. Punjab’s batting, on the other hand, is struggling a bit. Who will come out on top? Your questions will be answered over the next 20 overs. Stay tuned for the chase!
The chase begins! Mumbai players make their way out to the middle. KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal will open for Punjab.
