Game in the balance now. Dhoni still in but Chennai are losing wickets fast. Great catch by the ball-boy off a Dhoni six. Mumbai will go onto win if they get Dhoni out quickly.
No Murali, Ntini or Albie Morkel for Chennai.

I know, I can't see how his bowling action can be legal, he must gain another 30mph with that slinging action.

He's an awesome bowler, but I can't see how he can carry on doing that year after year; surely it will cause some serious damage?

I haven't watched it today, though - what happened with Dhoni?
