13.3 OUT! TAKEN! Shardul Thakur keeps picking up the wickets here. Number 3 for him and the Mumbai Indians. Fuller delivery and around off, pace on this time. Ajinkya Rahane looks to loft it with a straight bat but loses his shape and his bat turns in his hands as well. He ends up mistiming it in the air towards extra cover, where Hardik Pandya backtracks and takes a good catch. 145/3

5.2 OUT! CAUGHT! The golden arm of Shardul Thakur strikes. A much-needed breakthrough for MI. Thakur serves the off-cutter at 117 kph, on a length and slightly outside the hitting arc of Allen on the off side. Finn reaches out and swings at it. He does not pick the change of pace and ends up dragging it straight down the throat of long on, where Tilak Varma moves to his right and makes no mistake. Allen has done what was asked of him, though, to provide a brisk start. 69/1

8.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Shardul Thakur breaks through for MI once again. It is that slower ball which has done the trick for Thakur one more time. Thakur digs it in short, and it might well have been called a wide for height had Cameron left it. Green hops and gets his bat high to get on top of the bounce. He goes hard and is airborne while playing the shot. He picks out the man at deep cover. Sherfane Rutherford runs in off the ropes and dives forward to take a good catch. The 40-run stand has been broken. 109/2

18.3 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Fifty and out for Angkrish Raghuvanshi. Hardik takes some pace off but this is right in the slot for the batter. Raghuvanshi hangs deep in the crease and looks to launch it down the ground. He is early into the shot and it is skied off the toe end of the blade. Tilak Varma settles under it by moving to his left at long off and takes the catch. The 30-ball 60-run stand comes to an end. 205/4

15.2 OUT! RYAN RICKELTON IS RUN OUT! Is there a twist still left in this game? Blessing Muzarabani hits the length hard and around off, Ryan punches it wide of long off. He turns around for the second but Tilak Varma sees the fielder get to the ball and sends his partner back. Rickelton tries to get in his crease, while Blessing gets in position to collect the ball without knowing where the batter is. Ryan has to get around him to get to the crease, but before he can do that, Anukul Roy hits the bullseye at the bowler's end. A much-needed wicket for KKR, but Ryan Rickelton has done his job here. 184/3

11.5 OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! A fine grab from Anukul Roy. End of a brilliant knock from Rohit Sharma. Vaibhav Arora goes searching for the yorker but it comes out as a low full toss, bowled from around the wicket. Rohit hangs low and looks to drag it away on the leg side. Skies it towards wide mid on. Roy stationed inside the circle at mid on runs over his right shoulder. He keeps his eyes on the ball all the way through and dives forward to complete the catch. The ball stays in his palm even after his elbow hits the turf. 148/1

14.2 OUT! CAUGHT! High but not long enough. First wicket for Kartik Tyagi on his return to IPL for the first time since 2024. This is on a back of a length, outside off. Another off pace ball by Tyagi. Suryakumar Yadav clears the front leg and has a swing across the line. This comes more from the bottom half of the blade. It goes a long way up and Rinku Singh has to wait for an eternity at deep mid-wicket. He knows where the rope is and settles under it to take a good catch. 179/2

18.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Tilak Varma tries to go for the big one but holes out here. Sunil Narine slows it up, full and on off. Varma looks to loft it down the ground but mistimes the shot. It is spooned towards long on, where the sub fielder, Manish Pandey, takes an easy catch. 215/4
