sees Brevis looking to make room and spears the full, wide ball outside off. As close to a wide yorker as you'll get from a spinner. Left alone, and I think it finished just inside the tramline. MI review, and the umpire's no-wide decision is upheld
LSG vs MI, 67th Match at Mumbai, IPL, May 17 2024 - Live Cricket Score
10.29pm We will have a restart at 10.50pm local time, with no loss of overs.
Deep: "I think LSG missed a trick throughout the whole tournament. Id have opened with Pooran. Have the coaches and selector been watching him in T10? He could have done what Head, Narine, Fraser, did as well. KL Rahul has just been slow starter. He would have been better off in the middle."
10.25pm Abhimanyu has this update: "The two layers of covers over where the bowlers' run-ups would have been have been removed. They are starting to remove the main covers as well. Cheers from the stands as the square starts to get uncovered."
10.18pm Looks like the drizzle is now mild enough for the umpires to be walking around without umbrellas. The square and run-up areas are still under covers, though.
Venkatesh : "It seems rain gods are also following IPL, not a single drop of rain today at Hyderabad but it's raining at Wankhede "
10.12pm Still coming down pretty hard. The umpires are still out in the field, armed with umbrellas.
Abhimanyu, who's at the scene, says it's "still a super light drizzle. Outfield is mainly uncovered only. And they are on standby to take covers off."
Tim: "@Willo - did a quick search: Law 22.1.1.1: the ball passes wide of where the striker is standing and which also would have passed wide of the striker standing in a normal batting position."Which also would have passed wide of the striker standing in a normal batting position" is probably the key point here. Otherwise the batsman could stand off the pitch and say that a ball hitting the stumps is technically a wide "
10.05pm Wow. What's happening here? Rain! The covers are coming on! Who expected this? Wasn't this was supposed to happen tomorrow, in Bengaluru? It was briefly a sharp sort of shower, but it's lost a bit of intensity since then.
Willo: "How is that a wide. If he moved to the off-side the guideline moves accordingly, He backed away but the guideline stays where it is!! How is that right?" --- Fair question. The definition of wide has changed significantly ever since they began drawing a line, rather than leaving it to the umpires' judgment of whether the ball was within the batter's reach or not.
shot! Looks to bowl quick and into the pitch and cramp Brevis with his inward angle, but ends up bowling a touch too short. Onto the length in a flash to pull it a long way beyond the midwicket boundary
flat length ball angling into the stumps, no turn away. Hangs back and works it to deep midwicket
flat, length, speared into the pads, worked away to deep midwicket
quickish, back of a length, angling in towards off stump. Makes room and chops to cover point
Krunal Pandya comes on against his old team. Left-arm around.
length ball, tighter line, finishing on off and middle, defended with soft hands and the ball rolls towards deep square leg for one
not quite short enough for the cut, and the ball may have stopped on Brevis too. Thick inside edge into the pitch, and it bounces towards the keeper, having passed not too far from off stump
bnow he goes short, digs in the bouncer slanted across the batter, and it bounces well over head height and is left alone
once again, trusts in that angle away from off stump, keeping it just short of a length. Punched firmly into the covers
back of a length, slanting away from off, this time Rohit's chop goes a bit finer, further to the left of point, and they sneak a quick single
Rekha: "Raghuwanshi (Hoshangabad): My family is vouching for Rohit Sharma today, reason being we want him to end this tournament on a high note and carry this momentum in the upcoming world cup, and, we don't know if this is the last time we are watching Rohit in the Blue-Gold Jersey! :("
slower ball, back of a length, angling away from off stump, chopped to point
length ball, slanting away from off stump. Flat-bats it, without timing it, towards short extra-cover
Arshad continues. Left-arm over.
good ball! Length, in the corridor, and it straightens off the pitch to beat the edge of a leaden-footed Brevis. Just stood there and looked to punch through mid-off/extra-cover
sees Rohit shaping for the lap-sweep, I think, and bowls a slower offcutter outside off. Not much pace to work with, and he picks up a single down to fine leg. Wanted to play it much finer, but didn't get the pace he wanted
wow, sensational shot. Makes a lot of room, exposes all his stumps, and frees his arms to hit this off-stump length ball over the long-off boundary
bam. Just a touch short, it's barely finishing above bail height, angling in towards middle stump, and he opens up at the hips and pulls disdainfully over the forward square leg boundary
length ball close to off stump, punched towards short extra-cover
shortish, angling down leg, too far down leg for Rohit to connect with the pull
back of a length, finishing over the top of off stump, gets on top of the bounce and uses his wrists to play it down into the pitch
Matt Henry. Right-arm over, with a slip in place, and deep point and deep square leg.
ooh, good ball. Straightens from a good length, towards off stump, and there's some extra bounce too. Hops to get on top of the bounce and dab into the covers
