Mumbai 35-0 (5 ovs) vs Chennai | Scorecard

Simmons breaks the shackles as he blasts the first ball from Nehra down the ground for a four and nearly hits his partner at the other end, who somehow manages to duck under it.

Two balls later, the West Indian jumps down the track but Nehra adjusts well and bowls a quick bouncer which the batsman does well to avoid.

A heavily packed off-side field for Simmons who manages to turn the fourth ball square on the leg side for two runs.

Simmons again gives Nehra the charge who bowls a high full toss which the MI opener edges behind to Dhoni and the umpires call it a no-ball for being above the waist.

Mumbai have failed to break free at the start as they reach 22 for no loss in four overs.

Ashwin will continue as he comes on to bowl his third over on the trot.

Parthiv takes a single from the first ball before Simmons lofts the third straight back over the bowler's head for the first six of the match. Two balls later he slogs a full delivery over midwicket for another maximum as Mumbai get a move along.

13 runs from the over, including two sixes, as Mumbai reach 35 for no loss in five overs.
