- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 middle stump has been knocked back, and the Mumbai Indians come running from far and wide to celebrate this huge wicket. Gayle cleared his front foot and made room to heave over the leg side, the length was too good for that shot. He got a thick inside edge, a powerful inside edge, and middle stump took a battering 8/117.3 off stump's taken a walk. RP Singh bowled a full toss, Dilshan moved towards leg to hit through the off side, the ball swerved slightly away from the right-hander and Dilshan missed it 133/52.4 sensation fielding from Gibbs at point, a terrible mix-up between the batsmen, and Kohli is thundering as he's run out. Dilshan cut the ball hard towards backward point, and Kohli set off for the single. Gibbs moved swiftly and dived to his left, and sprang up immediately with the ball in his hands. Kohli slipped as he put on the brakes when he saw Dilshan wasn't running. Gibbs lobbed the ball back to Munaf, and Kohli had given up by then 11/26.3 would you believe it, Tiwary has stepped on to his stumps. He took a step back into his crease to work the ball through square leg and then before beginning to run he took another small step back. Unfortunately for him middle stump was in the way 47/311.3 AB's gone, caught at mid-off! He backed away towards leg and tried to smash inside out over the off side. It was the slower ball on middle stump and AB didn't get any elevation on the shot, Malinga tumbled after moving to his left to take the catch. That was hit quite hard 87/417.5 Vinay's been run out! He steered a short of a length ball towards deep point and wanted the second. Smith was the fielder sprinting in from the boundary and his throw to Karthik was powerful and accurate. Vinay sprinted and dived full length but was still a foot out of his crease when Karthik uprooted all three stumps 134/6Extras14 (lb 2, nb 3, w 9)TOTAL171/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.55)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Chris Gayle, 2.2 ov), 2-11 (Virat Kohli, 2.4 ov), 3-47 (Saurabh Tiwary, 6.3 ov), 4-87 (AB de Villiers, 11.3 ov), 5-133 (Tillakaratne Dilshan, 17.3 ov), 6-134 (Vinay Kumar, 17.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.2 that's not too short but Gibbs stays back and short-arm jabs it over midwicket .... "Run him out!!" screams AB into the microphone, as Gibbs goes back for a very risky third run. Appanna was the fielder in pursuit of the ball and he made good time, slid and was up in a flash, firing the throw to Vinay, who broke the stumps with Gibbs a long way short. Mumbai are halfway into that hole now. Bizarre running, they ambled the first two runs and then sprinted for the third. Maybe they assumed it was going for four? 4/20.5 caught at short cover! Kohli was stationed there for this shot and isn't he pumped after taking a sharp catch. Tendulkar reached forward and away from his body at a delivery that slanted away from him and spooned the square drive in the air. He hit it firmly, just straight to the fielder. 2/13.4 caught and bowled! Rohit closed the face and tried to play a short of a length ball from around off stump towards the leg side. He got a leading edge that spooned towards Vinay, one of the easiest caught and bowleds a bowler can hope for 19/37.5 caught at long leg! Karthik moved forward and towards the off side and played a powerful slog sweep, hitting the ball flat and hard but in the air. Harshal Patel covered considerable ground, running to his right on the boundary and caught the ball while on the move 44/48.5 caught at point! Smith square drove, reaching for the ball away from his body and spooning it towards Dilshan, who caught it at head height. Mumbai in free fall at the moment 51/5Extras11 (lb 4, w 7)TOTAL173/5 (19.4 Overs, RR: 8.79)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Sachin Tendulkar, 0.5 ov), 2-4 (Herschelle Gibbs, 1.2 ov), 3-19 (Rohit Sharma, 3.4 ov), 4-44 (Dinesh Karthik, 7.5 ov), 5-51 (Dwayne Smith, 8.5 ov)
