Mumbai survive special Yusuf ton

The second-fastest Twenty20 hundred, a 37-ball assault from Yusuf Pathan, as delicate as it was brutal, wasn't enough on a day that precious little was contributed by the other Rajasthan Royals players

It came to the final delivery but at one point it didn't look like it would. But Yusuf Pathan played a fabulous innings to make it a really close thrilling game. But Sathish terminated his innings with a fine piece of fielding and though Dogra tried his best with a few big hits, Zaheer Khan and Lasith Malinga ensured that Mumbai Indians would prevail.

That's it from us. Join us in a while for the second game.

Malinga to Mascarenhas, 1 run, Malinga clinches the win with a yorker ,,..Mascarenhas can't do much with it .. just a weak waft ... just a single ..

6 from 1. Here we go. Expect a yorker

Malinga to Mascarenhas, 2 runs, What a bowler at the death .. another really full delivery, the batsman pushes it out towards long-on .. they try to get back for the second .they run really hard ,.. Sathish throws it to the striker's end but Mascarenhas just about manages to drag his bat inside the line.

Warne has a chat with his partner. SRT makes some fielding changes. Malinga waits at the top of his run up
