31-25: Do-or-die raid and Abhishek Singh of U Mumba is in. It's the last raid of the match and Singh ENDS THE GAME WITH A RUNNING HAND TOUCH ON AMIT!

30-25: Fazel Atrachali gifts a point to More GB.

30-24: LAST ONE MINUTE AND THAT COULD BE CURTAINS ON THE MATCH! Rohit Gulia treaded perilously in the dangerous territory of Fazel and he paid the price. Ankle hold from the skipper in the left corner and Gulia is floored.

29-24: ALL-OUT! IS THIS THE FINAL NAIL IN THE COFFIN? Coming to the raid, U Mumba gifts a bonus to More GB and then Harendra Kumar in left cover puts in a double ankle hold. Then, the team had its heart in its mouth for a moment when More GB stuck his dangling hand out and then Fazel and co. cleaned up.

 

Coming to raid, he gets Koravi this time and when he is down on his backm he somersaults back to safety.

26-22: Abhishek Singh GETS TO A SUPER-10. IN THE ABSENCE OF DESHWAL, HE HAS REALLY LIFTED THE SIDE AND ESPECIALLY, IN THE DO-OR-DIE RAIDS! HIS 5TH OF THE SEASON.

25-22: Do-or-die raid for Gujarat. More GB gets a bonus.

25-21: Do-or-die raid for U Mumba. Abhishek up against three AND YET AGAIN, HE BAILS HIMSELF OUT IN THE FINAL 10 SECONDS. HE GOES TO RUTURAJ IN THE RIGHT AND LURES PARVESH FROM THE LEFT WITH AN ANKLE HOLD. THEN, RAIDER CRAWLS BACK TO SAFETY.

24-21: IN THE LAST 5 MINUTES, 1 POINT FOR GUJARAT AND 4 FOR U MUMBA.

24-21: After the timeout, Baliyan is back in to raid for U Mumba. Gujarat is down to three men. Empty raid.

24-21: SURINDER SINGH WITH A HERCULEAN SHORT BLOCK ON SACHIN TANWAR AND U MUMBA IS BACK IN THE LEAD AGAIN.

U Mumba challenges the call, claiming that there was no touch off Young Chang KO. Replay shows that Sachin doesn't get a touch and hence, U MUMBA'S CHALLENGES IS DEEMED SUCCESSFUL AND IT RETAINS ITS REVIEW. HENCE, JUST ONE POINT FOR GUJARAT.

21-21: IS THE LEAD IS BACK WITH GUJARAT?  FIRST, SACHIN TANWAR COMES IN TO RAID AND YOUNG CHANG KO FALLS OUT OF BOUNDS, BUT THAT WAS LEGAL AS HIS BODY WAS STILL INSIDE THE MAT. THEN, SANDEEP NARWAL IS DEFINITELY OUT WITH A FAILED DASH.

21-20: Do-or-die raid for U Mumba. Abhishek Singh, who is just revived, survives with a mistake from Pankaj in the left corner. Still not convincing, Abhishek.

20-20: Do-or-die raid for Gujarat first AND ROHIT GULIA RUNS OUT OF TIME! HE THOUGHT HE HAD A TOUCH ON SURINDER SINGH TWICE, BUT THE LATTER ESCAPES BY A WHISKER.

19-20: Surinder Singh with another empty raid.

19-20: U Mumba down to four men. Surinder Singh with an empty raid which means, they are playing on the DOD sequence.

19-20: WHAT HAPPENED THERE? IT WASN'T A DOD RAID. HE GOT THE BONUS, DID ROHIT BALIYAN IN THE RIGHT CORNER AND WANTED MORE. SO HE KEPT GOING DEEP AND EVENTUALLY FELL PREY TO A DASH BY RUTURAJ KORAVI.

18-19: Do-or-die raid for Gujarat and once again, Sandeep Narwal puts in an eager tackle, something he has been doing all season long. Diving ankle hold attempt on More GB, who didn't have to do myc.

Umpires call another timeout and Fazel Atrachali tells the umpires: "We have already been waiting for five minutes." Tell you what, we have interviewed Fazel for our #KingsofKabaddi series and his sense of humour is top-notch.

 

18-18: Do-or-die raid for Mumba. Once again, Abhishek Singh in and he is up against four.He goes left, then right and he is TIMED-OUT! When it's a DOD raid, the clock seems to run down quicker.

18-17: Do-or-die riad for Gujarat. Sachin Tanwar come sin. He is targetting left corner and the moment he goes toward the right corner, he is pushed to the mat with back first, thanks to a double diving ankle hold by Surinder Singh.

17-17: Do-or-die for U Mumba. Abhishek Singh is up against four and HE IS FLOORED! PANKAJ, AT RIGHT IN, BREAK FROM THE CHAIN, GOES LOW AND COMES THROUGH WITH A BIG DIVE ON THE ANKLES!

14-16: ALL-OUT! NOW, U MUMBA IS ALL-OUT. Rohit Gulia comes in to raid and his floored by Sandeep Narwal with an ankle hold. Rohit Baliyan comes in with the assist, but that was  shabby bit of defending as Gujarat bundles Gujarat out.

14-12: LAST MAN IN IS SANDEEP NARWAL AND HE TRIUMPHS! THE COACH CANNOT BELIEVE IT. HE GETS A BONUS AND THEN EVADES A TACKLE FROM PANKAJ.

12-12: MUMBA DOWN TO ONE MAN AS GULIA GETS A RUNNING HAND TOUCH OFF YOUNG CHANG KO'S CHEST.

11-11: GUJARAT DRAWS BACK LEVEL. It was a do-or-die raid for U Mumba and Abhishek Singh took 26 seconds to try and make a move, but he pushed off the mat.

11-10: ROHIT GULIA GETS TWO. HE CLAIMS THREE, BUT UMPIRES AWARD ONLY TWO. Coming to the raid, both Harendra Kumar (with waist hold) and Surinder Singh (with ankle hold) cannot overpower Gulia. What a raid.

5 minutes to go in the first half

11-8: FAZEL THROWS IN ANOTHER FUTILE TACKLE AND FAULTERS AGAIN! He gets up and apologises to the team because even he knows that tackle wasn't required.
