*Time for live action. Suryakumar Yadav and Evin Lewis to open. Trent Boult to start the proceedings.

*FOUR! Full and straight from Boult and Yadav drives it past the fielder at mid-off for his first boundary. Textbook shot!

*FOUR! Too short from Boult and Lewis pulls it over square leg. Reads the length very quickly. Mumbai Indians are 15/0 after the first over.

*Shahbaz Nadeem comes into the attack. He took two wickets in the last match against Rajasthan Royals.

*Lewis gets a life, dropped by Boult at fine leg. Two runs for him. Mumbai Indians are 25/0 after 2 overs. Boult to continue.

*FOUR! Pitched up from Boult and Yadav drives it straight down the ground. The promotion has worked for the former the Mumbai batsman. Needs to make this count.

*SIX! Length delivery from Boult and Lewis clobbers it over the long-on boundary for a maximum. Stand and deliver.

*Dot ball to finish off from Boult. Mumbai Indians are 40/0 after 3 overs.Nadeem again.

*SIX! Touch short from Nadeem and it’s enough for Lewis to smack it over deep square leg boundary. Incredible! MI cross 50 in 3.4 overs.

*Another expensive over from Nadeem, 12 runs off it. Mumbai Indians are 52/0 after 4 overs. Yadav 27*, Lewis 19*. Mohammed Shami comes into the attack.

*FOUR! Low full-toss from Shami and Yadav flicks it through mid-wicket. Moves into 40s. Mumbai Indians are 66/0 after 5 overs. Dan Christian comes into the attack.

*Consecutive boundaries for Lewis. Looks in top form! Mumbai Indians well on course to cross 200.

*SIX! Slower delivery from Christian and Lewis smashes it high over the long off boundary for a maximum. Sheer power! Mumbai Indians are 84/0 after 6 overs.

*Rahul Tewatia comes into the attack. Daredevils in desperate need of wickets.

*Tidy over from Tewatia, only three runs off it. Mumbai Indians are 87/0 after 7 overs. First strategic time-out. Yadav’s promotion to top has worked for Mumbai. Get a feeling this could be the trend in the matches to come.

The hosts would especially hope for an end to the dismal run of skipper Rohit Sharma, who fell cheaply in both the games. Rohit’s form is crucial for Mumbai and with Lewis too not coming good, the opening partnership has been struggling to get going.
