7.40 pm I missed seeing who the first Mumbai Indians player to mob Smith was, but they are all out there, even the coaching staff. Hilfenhaus looks stunned. He's been hit by a hurricane. He had 14 to defend off the last three balls, and he missed the yorker three times. Clever batting from Smith, though, sitting back in his crease to alter the length.

Ramprashad: "Cricket is a great leveler. Hilfenhaus bowled a spectacular first over and a horrible last over!"

Well I don't think they're going to have time to show the presentation before the other match begins in Bangalore. Let's hope that game is half as exciting as this one was. Man of the Match? We don't know who's been named, probably Tendulkar for his half-century. But those last three balls constituted one of the all-time great Twenty20 finishes. Bat up Dwayne Smith.

Thank you for all your emails today, don't go too far though, hop over to RCB v DC. Daniel Vettori has been left out, Murali is playing. Cheers, and have a good evening.

Hilfenhaus to Smith, FOUR runs

he's done it! Would you believe it, Smith's blazed the final ball hard and flat, and even Faf cannot run quickly enough to his right to prevent the boundary. It was a length ball and Smith waited in his crease for it. An epic, hair-raising finish at the Wankhede and the stadium erupts

Four to win off the final ball.

Faf sprinted to the ball from the extra cover region, collected and threw at one stump while on the move. He hit. Peterson was not even in the frame.
