11:26 PM: Tymal Mills at no. 10 and he is caught off the final ball. That's the game for PBKS as we fall to a 12-run defeat.

11:25 PM: WICKET. Boom is the new man in and he goes for a wild slog but edges it, which is taken by Dhawan.

11:24 PM: WICKET. JD falls, understandably went for a big pull, the top-edge is taken by Agarwal. 14 off three now.

11:23 PM: Two off the second and we need 14 off four. One more big hit, JD!

11:21 PM: SIX! JD in on the act! Short from Smith, JD pulls it handsomely over deep square leg!

11:19 PM: Ashwin at no.8 and he cannot score in two balls. We need 22 off the final over.

11:17 PM: WICKET. SKY falls. Full from Rabada, SKY goes after it, does not get the power or elevation, goes into the hands of Odean Smith at long-on.

11:16 PM: Two off the second ball and SKY refuses a single in the third.

11:14 PM: FOUR! Good start! Rabada on for his final over, bowls a low full toss and SKY flicks it to deep backward square!

11:13 PM: Just five in that over and we need 28 in the last two. SKY is the key here for us.

11:10 PM: Short ball and SKY top-edges his pull to deep fine leg for one. JD then takes two off the next.

11:08 PM: Arshdeep on for his final over and he beats SKY with pace first ball. Hit the pad but drifting down leg easily.

11:06 PM: 16 off the over and we need 33 in the final three.

11:05 PM: SIX! And another! Same ball, this time SKY uses his wrists to get it over gully!

11:04 PM: SIX! Top shot from SKY that! Half-volley by Arora, SKY very easily gets it over the cover ropes!

11:03 PM: JD is the new man in and he takes a single first ball to give strike to SKY.

11:00 PM: WICKET. Oh no big mix-up and Polly has to go back for 10. Polly hit a full one from Arora to long-on, Odean Smith fumbled and SKY seemingly called for a second, there was some confusion and Polly is short at the striker's end. Not what we wanted.

10:57 PM: Four off that over and we need 49 off the final four overs.

10:56 PM: Chahar beats Polly and the two share some nice banter!

10:55 PM: We are 146/4 in 15 overs, needing 53 runs more. On comes Rahul Chahar.

10:52 PM: SIX! Length ball and SKY nonchalantly pulls it for six over mid-wicket!

10:51 PM: A big finish needed now. 61 off the final six overs and here is Rabada.

10:50 PM: This combo!



10:48 PM: FOUR! Polly into it right away! Comes down and flicks it wide of long-on for his first boundary tonight!

10:47 PM: Back after a timeout and Polly at no.6 joins SKY in the middle. We need 68 in seven overs and these two will be key to taking us home.

10:42 PM: WICKET. Tilak is run-out for the second time in as many matches. SKY tapped one to mid-wicket and Tilak set off but SKY was not interested and Tilak was too far down to make it back.

10:40 PM: SIX! SKY is here folks! Short ball at his body from Arshdeep, he launches it easily over deep backward square!

10:37 PM: A teasing over from Rahul Chahar as SKY survives a couple of close calls.

10:32 PM: SKY is in the middle at no.5. Can he continue his great form to take us home?

10:30 PM: WICKET. Oh what a shame, DB falls for 49! Tried to pull one off Smith but found Arshdeep at deep backward square. What an innings though!

10:28 PM: Crazy indeed!



10:26 PM: SIX! Odean Smith back again, bowls short first up, Tilak uppishly cuts it for a six over deep point! These two are turning it on!

10:24 PM: SIX! Tilak into it now! Length ball that sits up, Tilak swivels and lapped it over the fine-leg ropes!

10:21 PM: FOUR! Vaibhav Arora on for the 10th over and Tilak welcomes him back with a top-edge pull over the keeper's head!

10:19 PM: Breathless over that as we get 28 off it and go into a timeout at 92/2 in nine overs!



10:18 PM: SIX again! Wow, this is some hitting by DB! Full outside off and he murders this slog over long-on again!

10:16 PM: SIX and SIX! Two marvellous hits from DB! Full again from Chahar, DB got down to slog sweep it over deep mid-wicket. Chahar then dropped it short, DB responded with a full-bloodded pull over long-on!

10:15 PM: SIX! DB in the mood! Half-volley and he launches it straight into the sight-screens!

10:14 PM: FOUR! Short and DB pulls it down the ground for a lovely boundary!

10:13 PM: An old friend into the attack as in comes Rahul Chahar.

10:12 PM: FOUR! Lovely hit! This time Tilak is in full control of the cut shot to the gully fence!

10:11 PM: FOUR! Liam Livingstone into the attack, Tilak tries to cut first ball and the uppish edge goes past short third.

10:09 PM: Ten off that over as go to 52/2 in seven overs with the two young guns rebuilding the innings.

10:07 PM: SIX! Odean Smith on after the powerplay, DB pulls a short ball over the mid-wicket ropes!

10:05 PM: A decent start as we are 42/2 in after the powerplay.

10:04 PM: FOUR! Fuller now and DB hits it straight down for another boundary!

10:03 PM: FOUR! Top shot from DB! A bit short, Brevis quick to punch it past point for a well-timed boundary.

10:02 PM: Arshdeep back again and we have scored one run in three balls.

9:59 PM: Just one off that over as Arora finds big swing.

9:56 PM: Tilak Varma is in at no.4 and we need the two youngsters to build a big partnership here.

9:55 PM: WICKET. Arora is back and bowls a big outswinger first ball, it just catches Ishan's edge and Jitesh takes it behind the stumps.

9:53 PM: Two rapid testing balls from Rabada as DB survives.

9:52 PM: It's the battle of the Proteas as in comes Dewald Brevis at no.3.

9:51 PM: WICKET. Ro falls next ball. Tried to pull, was beaten by pace and the top-edge is taken well by Vaibhav Arora.

9:50 PM: SIX! That's 10,000 T20 runs for Captain Hitman and what a shot to bring it up. Half-volley from Rabada and Ro launches into that effortless hit over cover!



9:47 PM: A testing over that as we take four off it.

9:44 PM: Change in bowling already as Arshdeep Singh comes in. Inswinger first up and Ishan wears it on his body.

9:43 PM: Nine off that over and we are 21/0 in two overs!

9:42 PM: FOUR! Not sure if it was deliberate or an outside edge but Ro gets another boundary, this time down to deep third!

9:41 PM: FOUR! Ro is in some mood! Full outswinger and Ro drives it elegantly to the cover boundary!

9:40 PM: Kagiso Rabada from the other end and Ishan gets it away for a single first ball.

9:39 PM: FOUR! What a hit! Ro gets down to sweep and nails it this time, hitting it sweetly over fine-leg. 10 off the first over!

9:38 PM: FOUR! Fortunate but it's our first boundary. Ro got down to sweep, it took his top-edge and flew over first slip! That was the Hitman's 500th four in the Tata IPL!

9:36 PM: Big in-swinger first ball and Ro gets us off the mark with a single to backward square leg.

9:35 PM: Young Vaibhav Arora with the new ball for PBKS.

9:34 PM: Here come our openers - Captain Hitman and the Pocket Dynamo! Need a big start from them.

9:26 PM: Let's do this!



9:21 PM: Just one run off the last two balls and PBKS end on 198/5. A big effort needed from our boys!

9:18 PM: WICKET! Now he gets it right! Full and fast in the blockhole, Shahrukh tried to slog again, gets an inside-edge onto the stumps!

9:17 PM: SIX. Full and wide, Shahrukh gets it over the long-off ropes.

9:16 PM: Two wides already from Basil this over. Needs to calm down a bit here maybe.

9:15 PM: SIX. Full ball, Shahrukh goes deep into his crease and hits it way over long-on.

9:13 PM: Just eight off the penultimate over. Now for Basil to finish strong!

9:10 PM: Boom on for his final over and gives a single first ball to new man in Shahrukh Khan. Jitesh tries to hit the next one but his edge goes over short third for two.

9:09 PM: FOUR. An expensive one from JD, Jitesh turns in his crease to reverse lap this full ball over short third.

9:06 PM: SIX. Half-volley from round the wicket, Jitesh has hit it over wide long-off again.

9:05 PM: FOUR. Full again and Jitesh times his straight drive well to bypass long-on and long-off.

9:04 PM: SIX. Slower ball full outside off from Unadkat in his final over, Jitesh launches it just over wide long-off.

9:03 PM: WICKET! Basil joins the party! Goes full again, Dhawan mistimes his attempted big hit and straight into Polly's bucket hands at long-on!

9:02 PM: Down the ground from Dhawan, big man Polly dives at long-on to keep them to two.

9:00 PM: SIX. Full on the stumps, Dhawan backed away a bit and slog-swept it over deep mid-wicket.

8:59 PM: Basil on for his third and the innings' 17th. Starts off with two pacy yorkers, which are hit for singles.

8:55 PM: FOUR. Almost there! Dhawan leant back to cut a short one, Boom went with one hand at short third but it just went over his hands.

8:54 PM: Oh an interesting DRS call from Ro here. An in-ducker from Mills struck Dhawan on the pad, umpire gave it not-out and third umpire feels it is bat and pad simultaneously. So on-field decision stays.

8:52 PM: Mills to finish off his quota here. The momentum is on our side and another wicket will put us on top!

8:51 PM: Just four off that lovely Boom over and PBKS are 132/3 in 15 overs.

8:49 pm: Young Jitesh Sharma in at no.5.

8:48 PM: WICKET! Classic Boom! Fast, swinging in, at the base of the stumps - basically impossible to play. A big pumping celebration from Boom and Livingstone has to walk. Let's go!



8:46 PM: Liam Livingstone at no.4 and Boom is here for his third over.

8:44 PM: A second timeout of the match and PBKS are 128/2 in 14 overs. We need to restrict them in the final six overs.

8:42 PM: WICKET! Bairstow walks! Unadkat with a slower one, Bairstow inside-edged it onto the stumps. A nice, wry smile from JD after that and why not!

8:40 PM: FOUR. Unadkat is back and he bowls wide of off first ball, Dhawan though has shuffled across and he lapped it past a wide short fine. Was in the air but well wide of Tilak. And Dhawan reaches his fifty with a single next ball.

8:37 PM: What an effort from Ishan! He has been excellent behind the stumps today, Dhawan tried to cut one off Mills, edged it behind, Ishan dived again with one hand but could not hold on. Lovely attempt!

8:34 PM: FOUR. Mills back for his third over and Bairstow gets a full ball over mid-off.



8:32 PM: Six from the over and Ash finishes with figures of 1/34 in four overs. A marvellous return, giving away only 17 runs in his last three overs.

8:30 PM: Ash on for his final over. He has come back incredibly well after that 17-run over, will be perfect if he can sign off with another scalp.

8:27 PM: FOUR. Bouncer at the head from Boom, but Dhawan leans back and hits it over Ishan's head.

8:26 PM: Boom is on for his second over. Can he get us another wicket?

8:23 PM: Jonny Bairstow is the man in at no.3.

8:21 PM: WICKET! Ash with the breakthrough and it's the opposing captain Agarwal! The PBKS opener went for a straight hit, skied it high and SKY pouches it at long-on!

8:20 pm: SIX. Top marks for effort! Dhawan slogged one to deep backward square, Brevis runs from fine leg, dives full length but diverts it over the ropes. Would have been a blinder if he held on!

8:18 PM: Ten from that over. PBKS 90/0 in nine overs.

8:17 PM: SIX. Slower ball from Mills, Agarwal has lifted that over long-off to bring up his fifty.

8:16 PM: Mills is back for his second over and has begun well, with two runs off the first three balls.

8:14 PM: We have to get that first wicket soon here. PBKS are 80/0 in eight overs.

8:12 PM: Top effort from Tilak at deep mid-wicket! Agarwal pulled one well, Tilak covered ground and got the ball back in play to save two runs.

8:09 PM: FOUR. Basil comes back for his second over and Dhawan cuts it away to the point boundary.

8:08 PM: Much better over from Ash as only 5 runs come off it.

8:06 PM: Ash is back on after the powerplay and PBKS take three runs in the first three balls.

8:02 PM: 12 runs off that over. PBKS re 65/0 after the powerplay and we go to a timeout. Let's regroup!

8:01 PM: FOUR. Short from Mills, Agarwal diverts it past gully into the deep third ropes.

7:58 PM: FOUR. A short, slow ball, Dhawan spots it early and sends it to the cover fence.

7:57 PM: Tymal Mills on for the final over of the powerplay and Agarwal pulls him for a single to deep square leg.

7:56 PM: 17 runs off that over and PBKS are 53/0 in five overs.

7:55 PM: SIX. Ash needs to get his length right here, Agarwal spots this full one early and launches it over long-off.

7:54 PM: FOUR. Down the track comes Agarwal and hits it over mid-on this time.

7:53 PM: FOUR. Short from Ash, Agarwal cuts it past point.

7:52 PM: M Ashwin is back again in the powerplay and Agarwal takes a single first ball.

7:51 PM: Just six runs off that Unadkat over and PBKS are 36/0 in four overs.

7:48 PM: Quick single there. Agarwal tapped it to mid-off and called Dhawan through, Basil picked it up and hit the stumps directly at the striker's end but Dhawan had just made it in.

7:47 PM: Unadkat on for his second over and Dhawan starts with a single.

7:45 PM: FOUR. Ohh is that a dropped chance? Full from Boom, Agarwal drives in the air and it bursts through the point fielder's hands. 

7:43 PM: Almost! Boom bowls the inch-perfect yorker, Dhawan just digs it out for one.

7:42 PM: And another dive from Ishan! Boom finding a lot of swing but has not yet got his line right yet, goes down leg but Ishan is there again to prevent byes.

7:41 PM: Ohh magnificent take from Ishan behind the stumps! Boom bowled a pacy wide, Ishan flew full length to grab that with one hand and prevent four byes.

7:40 PM: FOUR. Boom is on for the third over, he bowls straight first ball, Dhawan glances it to the fine leg fence.

7:39 PM: A good comeback from Unadkat as he gives just one run away in the rest of the over. PBKS 17/0 in two overs.

7:35 PM: SIX. Jaydev Unadkat shares the new ball, Shikhar Dhawan comes down and times his hit over long-on for a maximum.

7:34 PM: Ten runs off the first over there.

7:32 PM: FOUR. Wide again and Agarwal cuts it away in the gap again.

7:31 PM: A good outswinger to follow and Agarwal lets it go.

7:30 PM: FOUR. Short and wide, Agarwal cuts it away to the gully boundary first ball.

7:29 PM: Ro has handed the new ball to Basil Thampi. Let's do this, boys!

7:28 PM: And there's our team huddle! Ishan Kishan was very vocal in pumping up the team.

7:27 PM: Out walk the umpires!

7:24 PM: Openers for India now in battle.



7:22 PM: Ro and Ishan got us off to a flier last time out and we will need more of that from the explosive duo later tonight.

7:20 PM: Surya has scored two fifties in both the matches he has played this season and will look to make a hat-trick of half-tons if he does come out to bat in the chase.

7:16 PM: This is also our last league game at the MCA Stadium in Pune, so it will be nice to leave with a win!

7:11 PM: It is a special game for our Pocket Dynamo!



7:06 PM: Here is our line-up tonight!



7:02 PM: Just one change from the previous game for us - Tymal Mills is back in for Ramandeep Singh! We will have the full line-up for you soon!

7:01 PM: "I have just been telling the team to keep their heads. It's a tough situation but we have to keep trying harder and play our best cricket," Rohit said at the toss.

7:00 PM: Mayank Agarwal calls heads but it's tails and Ro chooses to bowl!

6:48 PM: And as always, our Paltan is cheering us on in their loudest voice!




6:45 PM: Hello Paltan and welcome to the live blog for MI vs PBKS! It's our fifth match of Tata IPL 2022 and we are chasing that first win. The spirits are high - we saw Rohit, Boom and Mahela share a few laughs, so the team seems well set to compete today!
