Mayank Yadav to Will Jacks, SIX! Just over! Seems like Will Jacks has taken the onus of keeping up with the scoring rate after Ryan Rickelton's departure. Full and angling into the pads, Will Jacks flicks it just over the leaping fielder at fine leg for a flat six. 100 UP FOR MI!

Digvesh Singh bowls the wrong'un, short and on middle and off, Ryan Rickelton backs away a bit early to access the off side and the ball just bounces a tad more than he expects it to.

Ravi Bishnoi doesn't manage to hold on and the ball is rolled back to long off for a single.
STRATEGIC TIMEOUT. Not a surprise that Rishabh Pant has called for it as soon as it was available. The bowling team can call for the timeout anytime between the 7th and the 9th overs and given that the final over of the Powerplay went for 19, this might be a move to just break the concentration of the batters, especially Rickelton. There is nothing much in the pitch and MI have taken full toll of the same. Ryan Rickelton is happy to assume that this is Newlands and not Wankhede, scoring nearly 80 percent of the team's runs. LSG's pacers have been erratic while the spinners have not quite been able to slow down the batters. Let's see how the middle overs turn up.

Ravi Bishnoi to Will Jacks, Around off, worked through mid-wicket for a single.
Ravi Bishnoi to Will Jacks, Huge, huge shout for LBW! Rishabh Pant was yelling his lungs out while Bishnoi was extremely confident, egging Pant to go for the review. The only question - where was the impact? From the first replay, it seems like the ball might have struck Jacks outside the line of off stump. It was the googly, outside off and Jacks had a mighty mow to the leg side, only to miss and get hit on the pads. The ball went off his pads and excellent stop by, I think, Mitchell Marsh at first slip, diving to his left to stop the ball. So, nothing on UltraEdge when ball passes the bat. But as suspected, Ball Tracking informs us that the IMPACT WAS OUTSIDE OFF. Excellent delivery, but good footwork from Jacks as well, getting himself outside the line. Excellent decision by the umpire and not to forget, excellent fielding and awareness by Marsh. Sometimes, due to the appealing and all, the fielders forget to stop the ball and this could easily have been four leg byes. Review lost by LSG.
Ravi Bishnoi to Will Jacks, Floated, around off, a leggie to start, Will Jacks leans and drives it towards mid off.

Digvesh Singh to Ryan Rickelton, FOUR! A valiant effort from Aiden Markram! Digvesh Singh tosses the ball up, on middle and off, Ryan Rickelton times his drive beautifully, straight down the track to the left of long off.
