Bumrah continues to keep things tight. Gill defends solidly first up, then jabs one toward square leg for a couple. A loud LBW appeal follows, but the umpire isn't interested - and neither is Bumrah after a quick chat. Gill taps to mid-off and plays out a dot to end another tidy over. Just 2 runs from it - after 5 overs, GT are 21 for 1, needing 135 off 90 balls.
Boult's final over of the powerplay had a bit of everything - a towering six from Buttler, a brilliant stop by Jacks at point, and now the rain threat looming large again. The drizzle returns just as GT finish the powerplay at 29 for 1. They now need 127 from 84 balls.
Crucially, the DLS par at this stage is 40 - MI are ahead by 11 runs. The umpires have done well to keep the game going so far, but this could get tricky if the rain gets heavier.
