short, wide, slapped away in typical Dhoni fashion. The off-side fielders had come into the circle with just two needed, and this went just wide of Harbhajan at extra cover. Rohit Sharma kicks out in frustration.
MI vs CSK, 33rd match at Mumbai, IPL, May 10 2014 - Ball by Ball Commentary
CSK won by 4 wickets (with 3 balls remaining)
11.50pm That's all from us today. Many thanks for staying tuned and sending in your comments. Make sure you read the Plays of the Day from a highly eventful match, and also the full report, once it's up.
11.45pm Presentation time. Here's Dhoni: It's a fantastic pitch to bat on, he says, but the ball stopped a bit early on and became easier for CSK with the dew. Praises Smith for batting more patiently, recognising his strong areas, and capitalising on them. Says Mumbai "misread the wicket" in playing only one spinner.
Dwayne Smith: "I'm just trying to stay as consistent as I can. I thought they bowled very well up front, especially Harbhajan, just had to stay out there and get as much as I could."
11.40pm Lots of people saying Rohit should have kept Malinga for the last over. But Chennai had 11 to get from that last over, with two fewer wickets in hand, only because Malinga bowled such a good 19th over.
This, incidentally, is Chennai Super Kings' first win at the Wankhede against Mumbai.
Chennai kept Mumbai down to 157, but it wasn't a bad score on a pitch with some turn and bounce in it. They lost a couple of wickets to questionable decisions, but Dwayne Smith and Faf du Plessis kept them on track right through before Lasith Malinga did what he does best to drag Mumbai back into the match. Chennai, though, still had Dhoni, and that in the end was enough for them, as it has so often been. It might have been a lot closer had Mumbai's fifth bowler done a better job for them. Stay tuned for the presentation.
slower ball, length ball, outside off. Dhoni swings hard across the line, and it goes flat but still clears deep midwicket comfortably.
Dhoni was running right down the middle of the pitch there, but what would YOU do under the circumstances?
wide again, Dhoni cuts it, Anderson runs to his right from deep point, has to run around it to throw with his left arm. Dhoni makes his ground as he sprints back for the second.
baaaad ball to start with. Tries to aim for the tramlines, and gets it horribly wrong. It's short and waaay outside off.
Chennai have lost another, but Dhoni's on strike for the start of this over. It's Pollard to defend 11 from the last over. Ashwin's come in, by the way.
he's gone! inswinging yorker, inside-edged to fine leg. They take on PK's arm, and it isn't the best throw, on the bounce to Gautam, but he still manages to get the bails off before Manhas can slide in. It's in the air, moreover, as it crosses the crease. Third umpire takes a long time, but finally gives it out.
12 off 7. Mithun Manhas comes in. This won't be easy.
got him! widish yorker, and Jadeja inside-edges it onto his stumps as he tries to chop down on it and take a single into the off side.
Full and straight, Dhoni uses his wrists to hit it straight back but Malinga gets his right boot across to make a good stop.
slower ball, full, outside off. Steered away to deep cover.
Low full-toss, outside off, and Jadeja pushes it to deep point.
low full-toss, poked down to long-on.
17 from 12. CSK still favourites. It might have been much more difficult had the umpire given Jadeja out, though. Here's Malinga again.
tries to come forward and play the square drive, hits it straight to backward point.
low full toss outside off, steered towards deep point.
short, big angle from wide of the crease, and Dhoni smartly walks across and gets a wide down the leg side.
Vignesh: "I m a CSK fan, and would still say that's plum out. The only chance that can't be out is a touch of bat, but the umpire proved his "brilliiance" by signalling leg-bye. "
slower ball, short, chopped down to long-off.
Short ball, dropped down towards midwicket.
Short, sits up, pulled past midwicket.
angled in, and Dhoni knocks it down to long-on.
short ball, defended towards square leg, direct hit at the keeper's end, but no overthrows.
whoa, there. slower ball, drops on a full length, turns like an offcutter and hits Jadeja low on the pad. Big appeal, not given. Runs away down to third man, where Praveen fumbles. That looked to be hitting the stumps.
what a ball! slower ball, right up in the blockhole. It hits the base of the stumps, in fact, after dipping under Faf's flailing bat. It seemed to hang in the air before dipping at the last moment.
