31-18 Surjeet Singh looked a little clueless there as he concedes a tackle point to U Mumba. 2nd consecutive unsuccessful raid. First Ajay Thakur and then, Surjeet Singh.
29-17 DOUBLE DANGER! Jasvir Singh has thrown out of bound, almost into the advertising boards, by a double dash from Rohit Rana and Surender of U Mumba.
28-17 A little under nine minutes to go.
28-17 And there comes another ALL-OUT and U Mumba stretches the lead to 11 points. Is this the final nail in the coffin?
25-16 Superb raid by the big Iranian. Abolfazl Maghsodlou reduces the Thailaivas to 1 man.
22-16 2 unsuccessful do-or-die raid. First, Pradap comes pounding in from the left cover and keeps Siddharth Desai in check in the do-or-die raid. Then Fazal Atrachali shows why is feared by opposition raiders. Literally picks up USkesh Hegde and almost walks him back to the bench.
20-15 U Mumba revives Surender with a great running touch point.
19-15 Do-or-die raid for skipper Ajay Thakur, but Vinod Kumar from left cover gets a great ankle hold in and revives Fazal Atrachali.

5-8 After Ajay Thakur's super raid, it's Manjeet Chhillar who chips in with a huge tackle to get ride of Siddharth Desai.
