Avesh Khan to Ryan Rickelton, Slightly fuller and on leg, Rickelton tucks it through mid-wicket for a single.
Strategic Break! Mumbai Indians are cruising along in this chase, with both Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton scoring at a brisk rate. This opening pair did the same against KKR in the opening game, while chasing 200 plus, and if they can repeat that, MI will be in a great place to chase this down, as they still have a lot of firepower left in the tank. Lucknow Super Giants have been pretty ordinary with the ball, except for Prince Yadav, but they have to step up in this middle phase or this game could slip away very quickly.

Mumbai Indians are 19 runs behind LSG at the end of the Powerplay, but they have not lost any wickets till now. The middle overs will be key in deciding which way this game is going to go. Also, time for some spin now as Manimaran Siddharth comes into the attack.
Is that a clean catch? Prince Yadav straight away says that he is not sure, and it has been sent upstairs. The replay shows that the ball clearly bounces before going into the hands of Yadav. 'Not Out' flashes on the big screen, much to the delight of the home crowd.
Avesh Khan to Rohit Sharma, Just short! But full marks for the effort from Prince Yadav. A low full toss by Avesh, on the stumps, and this dips a bit as well. Rohit Sharma picks it up but hits it off the toe end and airs it to the right of deep square leg. Prince Yadav comes charging across and dives to scoop the ball to his right. He is not sure whether he has taken the catch and the on-field umpires send it upstairs to check the legality of the catch. After checking a few angles, the TV umpire deems that the ball has bumped on the ground and Prince does not have his fingers underneath the ball while attempting to catch. So, it is Not Out and that brings about a loud cheer from the Wankhede crowd as Rohit stays.
