Only 4 runs in this over from Deepak Chahar. Good effort from CSK pacer. MI 44/0 after 5 overs.
Raining fours
Consecutive boundaries for Rohit Sharma as the MI skipper turns the heat on Sam Curran. Neither shot was timed as well as he'd have wanted to, but two fours is what he gets is return. MI and their openers are on a roll.
Chahar to de Kock: SIX
Third boundary of the over. De Kock moves away and paddle sweeps it for six. It ended being a leading edge but enough wood to take the ball over the ropes behind. What a shot. 15 runs off the over as MI reach 30/0 after 3.
Rohit survives, DRS saves him
Wow! That was as plumb as it gets. The umpire gave it out and even Rohit appeared in two minds before taking the review. None the less, the DRS was taken and that's a lucky escape. The snicko showed a little spike, not on the inside edge, but the outer one, while Rohit was going for the shot. No one would have expected this.
Chahar to Rohit: FOUR more
Back-to-back boundaries for the MI skipper. This time around, he smartly glides the ball between the two fielder. A lot more in control with that stroke, Rohit.
Chahar to Rohit: FOUR
Edged and goes for a boundary behind. Rohit tries to give himself room and smack it over the infield. But a thick outside edge followed and the ball flew away behind for his first four.
Curran to de Kock - FOUR!
FOUR! Sam Curran has been smashed for a boundary by Quinton de Kock, just past the fielder at 2nd slip. Terrific shot, but where did that come from? MI 12/0

Moeen Ali speaks
Moeen Ali - We played well, assessed the conditions early and played to our strengths. With the batsmen (and the depth) we have, it's important to keep going, it was important to keep partnerships building. He (Rayudu) played an amazing knock, that situation was a bit tricky for us, but then he played superbly, and has been an important member of the team. They (MI) have some special players, we need to be humble and bowl as a unit.
