6.6
Vignesh Puthur to Mitchell Marsh, out Caught&Bowled!! Just what MI needed after a break. Poor from Mitchell Marsh. That was a tossed up delivery, Mitchell Marsh looked to clip it and got a leading edge. The ball spooned back and was a good low catch by the bowler. He grabbed it well. Loose from the batter as that was his first ball off the spinner. But Mitchell Marsh went at the ball with firm hands and sent it back to the bowler.

Mitchell Marsh c and b Vignesh Puthur 60(31) [4s-9 6s-2]

7.5
Santner to Pooran, FOUR, fuller length delivery, Pooran drills it wide of long-on for a four. Fine shot again by the southpaw. He is in the form of his life
7.4
Santner to Pooran, SIX, one ball is what it takes to get the engines started. Pooran plays his staple shot against slow left armers. Sat down, got under the ball and slammed the slog sweep over deep mid. What a way to get started

8.5
Hardik Pandya to Pooran, out Caught by Chahar!! SOS call made to MI skipper and he has found the remedy. Pooran is gone. Short, slower, Pooran is too early into the pull and hands a dolly of a catch to the man at short fine. Simple catch. Massive wicket for MI. The slower balls were gripping on the deck and Pooran just couldn't control it. The in-form Pooran has to go and this after they had lost Marsh a few overs back

Ayush Badoni 1(5

13.3
Santner to Ayush Badoni, FOUR, hat-trick of fours. Badoni giving the impetus that was lost in the last few overs. Santner shortens the length and Badoni is quick to pounce, he unleashes the cut and sends the ball racing past backward point
13.2
Santner to Ayush Badoni, FOUR, back to back fours after the break. This time Badoni brings out the sweep, he picks this from outside off and hits it in front of square, right between deep mid-wicket and deep backward square
13.1
Santner to Ayush Badoni, FOUR, lovely shot! Superb use of feet from Badoni. He comes down the track, gives himself room and lofts inside out over extra cover, one bounce and over the ropes

17.5
Hardik Pandya to Markram, out Caught by Naman Dhir!! Third wicket for Hardik. He has been excellent with the ball today.

Markram c Naman Dhir b Hardik Pandya 53(3 [4s-2 6s-4]

19.3
Hardik Pandya to Miller, FOUR, 200 up for Lucknow. Another poor delivery from Hardik. He sprays the short ball down leg, easy pickings for Miller as he just had to place the pull shot, hits it fine and almost picks up another maximum
19.2
Hardik Pandya to Miller, SIX, Hardik is not happy with the fielder. Reckon he wanted him a bit squarer. But it was a poor delivery - full toss on leg-stump, Miller muscles it towards long-on and just manages to clear the rope
19.1
Hardik Pandya to Miller, 2 runs, in the air and safe. Slower back of a length delivery, Miller heaves it high and gets away with it, the ball goes straight up and lands in front of the incoming deep mid-wicket fielder

19.4
Hardik Pandya to Miller, out Caught by Naman Dhir!! 4-fer for Hardik. Miller is disappointed as he walks back. This slower ball is bowled into the wicket and Miller cannot generate enough power on the pull to clear deep mid-wicket, he gets it high on the bat and Dhir runs in to take a simple catch.

Miller c Naman Dhir b Hardik Pandya 27(14) [4s-3 6s-1

19.5
Hardik Pandya to Akash Deep, out Caught by Santner!! Hardik's first 5-fer in IPL. He has been a standout bowler for the Mumbai Indians. He has used the pitch and the ground dimensions really well. Another off-pace delivery bowled short and into the surface, Akash Deep goes for the upper cut but does not get enough to clear the long part, Santner runs across and hangs on to a good catch. Hardik is on a hat-trick.

Akash Deep c Santner b Hardik Pandya 0(1)

4-0-36-5

1.4
Akash Deep to Will Jacks, out Caught by Ravi Bishnoi!! Akash Deep playing his first game provides the early breakthrough for Lucknow. Short of length delivery and Jacks connected quite well with the pull shot, but the big ground did not help him as Bishnoi settles under it and takes a well-judged catch near deep backward square. This would have been a six in most IPL grounds but not at Ekana.

Will Jacks c Ravi Bishnoi b Akash Deep 5(7)

MI 13/1 (2) CRR: 6.5 REQ: 10.61
Mumbai Indians need 191 runs

2.2
Thakur to Rickelton, out Caught by Ravi Bishnoi!! A repeat of Jacks' dismissal. The fielder is the same, the area is the same only the batter and bowler are different. Shardul goes short of length and into the body, Rickelton is cramped as he plays the pull and does not get the elevation to clear the deep backward square fielder, a much simpler catch for Bishnoi this time. Mumbai Indians in early trouble..

3.4
Akash Deep to Naman Dhir, FOUR, to fine leg
3.3
Akash Deep to Naman Dhir, FOUR, this is an excellent counterattack. Another short of length delivery, just sits up on this surface and Dhir had ample time to play the pull, he places it in front of square and picks up a boundary
3.2
Akash Deep to Naman Dhir, SIX, back to back sixes. Akash Deep errs in line - strays down leg and this time Dhir gets a better connection on the pull, he just needed to help it along the way and uses the pace on the ball to send it over fine leg
3.1
Akash Deep to Naman Dhir, SIX, just over a leaping Bishnoi. He gets a hand to it but that was all down to his effort. 141ks short of length delivery, Dhir pulls it high and towards deep square leg. Bishnoi jumps up and arches back while in the air to get a fingertip but that is all he could do
