The players are out. Still very overcast though. Ojha to open the bowling

5.15: The weather didn't quite spoil the opening game this evening, but the forecast for this one isn't too good. It's expected to pour down later in the evening. For now, the covers are off.

Sanjay is peeved with the team selection. Have to agree with him: "Really disappointed to see the starting XI for both teams, you'd have thought squad players would be given a chance in what is a dead game. I'd like to have seen S. Yadav, Munaf & Perera for MI, Kulasekara for CSK."

DS is not following this game: "Better switch over to the Pak11 vs the World11 rather than watching this boring match." You can follow the game here.

Toss, 5pm: Harbhajan has won the toss and Mumbai will bowl first. "Both teams were supporting Yorkshire to win. But Mumbai and Chennai are two great teams," says Harbhajan.

Dhoni: "We were cheering every dot ball. We don't have any particular target in mind."

Mumbai are playing an unchanged side. Michael Hussey has flown back to Australia for personal reasons. Chennai are playing an unchanged side, nevertheless.

Chennai's four overseas players are - Bollinger, Faf du Plessis, Hilfenhaus and Albie Morkel.

4.50pm: Both Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians prayed for Yorkshire to upstage the home team, but the Lions huffed and puffed and made the semis. Both Chennai and Mumbai are out of the tournament and it means today's second game will be a dead rubber.
