9.3 overs (2 Runs) NOT OUT! Faf du Plessis is back in just in time! Full toss, on the pads. Clipped away to deep mid-wicket. They come back for the second but the fielder makes a bullet throw at the keeper's end de Kock whips the bails off. Third umpire is called and the replay shows that de Kock has dislodged one of the bails before he had the ball. But the second bail is intact and while he takes that of du Plessis gets inside the line. Lucky escape for him.
Direct hit from the deep. This looks really close. Faf can be in trouble. De Kock has took the bails off with his hands. But looks like when the ball came in the mitts, even then Faf wasn't in. A tough call for the TV umpire to make. The umpire is taking his time. Replays show that Faf made it in by the time the second bail was dislodged. Third umpire confirms the same.

Strategic Time-Out! Chennai are off to a good start but Mumbai won't be too disappointed with their performance too. Ruturaj Gaikwad fell in the first over but Moeen Ali and Faf du Plessis have stitched a good stand. But now, we enter the middle overs and Mumbai will unleash Rahul Chahar.

Is that a run out? The dive seems to have saved the batter.
