 Mumbai 168-3 (20 ovs) vs KKR | Scorecard

Rohit in complete control at the moment as crashes Shakib through the covers where Russell runs around from sweeper cover and stops it but touches the ropes in the process to give away a four.

Anderson clubs the fifth ball back over the bowler's head for another four to get 11 runs from the over.

Russell comes back for his second spell. Anderson lofts the first ball straight down the ground over long-on for a six and takes a single from the next ball.

No stopping Rohit as he despatches a full delivery over long-off for the second six of the over to move into the 90s.

The runs continue to flow for Mumbai as Russell is hit for 15 runs in the 19th over, taking the score to 148 for three with one over left.

Shakib to bowl the final over. Anderson hammers the first ball over midwicket for a six and gets a lifeline from the next ball as he is dropped at deep midwicket by Morkel.

Rohit opens the face of the bat and lofts it over point for a four to move to 98 but gets only a single from the fifth ball to move to 98.

Anderson ends the innings in style with a six over wide over long-on to steer Mumbai to 168 for three in their 20 overs.

Rohit is unlucky to miss out on a deserved century as he is left stranded on a splendid innings of 98 from 65 balls, having hit 12 fours and four sixes.

The Mumbai captain put on an unbroken stand of 131 runs from 88 balls for the fourth wicket with Anderson, who played a good knock of 55 from 41 balls.
