HALF TIME!

Undoubtedly Patna Pirates' half. They have both Devank and Ayan bringing in points and have also managed to keep Ajit Chouhan – U Mumba's best raider of the season quiet for longest period.

Sunil Kumar and co. will be happy that they have managed to cut down the lead to six points with a better showing in the final few minutes, but they still have a lot of catching up to do.

Mumba 11-17 Patna

17' - SUPER TACKLE, LOKESH!

U Mumba down to three men and Lokesh comes up with a brilliant thigh hold to send Devank out. The Pirates ask for a review for jersey pulling, but are proven wrong. Two points for U Mumba...much needed.

Mumba 9-16 Patna

14' - U Mumba slowing down the game

U Mumba have won both the league stage matches against Patna this season. And they are happy to slow the game down, despite trailing. They are forcing the Pirates to enforce long raids and are sitting back deep. Not a lot of success for U Mumba so far, but interesting strategy.

Mumba 7-13 Patna

11' - Patna in control

We have the first time-out of the match and Patna Pirates are in control. They have a five-point advantage with both Ayan and Devank having pocketed three points apiece.

U Mumba haven't done a lot wrong but they need to pull up their socks, if they are to stay in the hunt.

Mumba 6-11 Patna

9'- U MUMBA, ALL OUT!

The Patna Pirates have asserted their dominance. An all-out within nine minutes. Zafardanesh, who was not in the starting 7, did save U Mumba once from being wiped out, but he couldn't the second time and is tackled out.

Mumba 6-11 Patna

7' - Patna get a move on

Ayan is leading the charge for Patna Pirates with Devank being kept quiet. He has slowly helped the three-time champions open up a lead. U Mumba are down to two players.

Mumba 2-6 Patna

3' - Tight start to the contest

Unlike the first match of the night, this has been an even start to the match. Raiders with easy touch points.

Devank Dalal, the best Patna Pirates raider this season, has been tackled with the very first raid of the match. Rohit Raghav with the tackle to win the first point of the match.
