7.4
Hardik to Gill, no run

length ball hung up wide outside off. Gill lets it go and the umpire calls it a wide. Seemed touch-and-go

Gagan Longia: "As a PBKS fan, I want a result out of this match. If it gets washed out, both teams will move above Punjab in the points table." -- Whatever happens, we will have a result in this game.

Hardik to Gill, (no ball)

back of a length outside off. Gill gets up on his toes and jabs it towards extra cover. Uh-oh, Hardik has overstepped too...

7.4
1w
Hardik to Gill, 1 wide

banged into the track outside off and this flies through to the keeper. Gill jumps up onto his toes to try and upper-cut it but is beaten for pace. Called a wide for height

Hardik to Buttler, 1 run

shortish outside off. Sticks in the surface a little and Buttler chops it towards backward point

7.2

Hardik to Buttler, FOUR runs

Buttler on the charge now! This is another long-hop, more or less. Laced with width too and Buttler stands up on his toes to slap it to sweeper cover's right!

7.1
1
Hardik to Gill, 1 run

back of a length just outside off. Cuts back into Gill and keeps a little low. Pings him on the back leg after he misses his swipe and the ball rolls awya past the keeper for a run. Might have skimmed the inside edge on the way too

Hardik brings himself on now

Chahar to Buttler, FOUR runs

that is another scorcher! Half-volley outside off and Buttler will have that for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Razes it past extra cover and even with the rain swirling around, that scorched away past Suryakumar at long off!

6.5
1
Chahar to Gill, 1 run

slanted in full on middle and off. Gill comes onto the front foot and flicks it to long on

6.4
1
Chahar to Buttler, 1 run

off-pace and into the track on off. Buttler jumps up onto his toes and drops it into the off side for a single

6.3
Chahar to Buttler, no run

angled in full on off. Buttler presses forward and pokes it back towards the bowler

6.2
4
Chahar to Buttler, FOUR runs

that has gone to the fence like a tracer bullet! Half-tracker on middle and off, and Buttler takes full toll. Swivels nicely and thunders it past deep square leg, who barely had to move a few yards, but got nowhere near it!

6.1
1
Chahar to Gill, 1 run

off-pace and into the track outside off. Gill waits for it and short-arm jabs it past mid wicket for a single

The DLS par score after the end of six overs, for the loss of one wicket, is 40. So, GT are still behind. Play to continue after the time-out. Chahar back on

And MI take the time-out (of course they do). A bit of gamesmanship from the five-time winners but they are well within their rights to take a time-out whenever they please between the end of the sixth and the ninth over. For the record, it is still drizzling at the Wankhede Stadium

5.6
Boult to Buttler, no run

full just outside off. Buttler plants his front foot and smashes it straight to the fielder at mid off

Umpire Saidharshan Kumar is not happy about something. Perhaps about the time MI are taking. Not sure, though

5.5
1
Boult to Gill, 1 run

slanted in very full on leg stump. Gill knocks it down the ground to long on and picks up a single

The umpires have done very well so far to keep this game going. Around the wicket

5.4
1
Boult to Buttler, 1 run

off-pace on a back of a length on off. Buttler takes a step down the track and pushes it towards mid off

How does Buttler play it? Does he try and get ahead of the DLS par score? Or does he bank on rain not lasting long enough to wash out the game at this point?

5.3
Boult to Buttler, no run

back of a length wide outside off. Buttler reaches out for it and scuffs it towards mid off

Looks like it has started to rain again, and the umpires are happy to go on for now. DLS par score at this stage is 36, so MI are ahead

Raj Patel: "Mumbais intensity in the field is making 156 seem like a 186 … Just loving that intent "

5.2
Boult to Buttler, no run

shorter outside off. Buttler waits on this and cuts it fiercely towards backward point, where Jacks snaps down low to his right and saves four

5.1
6
Boult to Buttler, SIX runs

Buttler at his pristine best! Back of a length outside off. Buttler telegraphs the line, shuffles across his stumps and scoops it cleanly over the fine leg fence!

Boult to bowl the last over of the powerplay

pushed in fuller on off stump. Gill gets a good stride in and laces his flick, but cannot get it past the man at mid on

4.5
Bumrah to Gill, no run

angled in again, on a length on off. Gill presses forward and pokes it towards mid off. That seemed to hit the bat hard again
