Mumbai 48-1 (5 ovs) vs Pune | Scorecard

The whole of England will be watching with interest as debutant Ben Stokes comes up to bowl against his fellow countryman Buttler.

Buttler takes two balls to study Stokes before he launches him straight back over his head for a six over long-on. The next ball is short as Buttler walks across his stumps and scoops it over the keeper's head for another six.

Stokes makes a good comeback as he beats the right-hander with a quick incoming delivery as he looks for a big shot through the off-side.

Leg-spinner Imran Tahir comes into the attack on his debut for Pune. Parthiv immediately targets him as he sweeps the first ball behind square on the leg side for a four. He tries to repeat the shot off the next ball but misses it and is bowled from behind his legs.

Captain Rohit Sharma gets off the mark with a single on the leg side and Buttler picks before the former gets another run from the last ball.

A good start from Tahir, making the breakthrough while giving away just seven runs in his first over as Mumbai are reduced to 48 for one in five overs.
