Pune 97-2 (11 ovs) vs Mumbai 184-7 | Scorecard

Rahane comes down the track and plays a controlled chip shot against Krunal but the timing is so good that it carries over Pollard at long-on who leaps high but can't stop it from going over the ropes for a six.

He then takes a single before Smith swipes it across the line on the leg side for two runs followed by two more singles as Pune reach 93 for one in 10 overs at the halfway stage.

Southee comes back into the attack and he strikes with the key wicket of Rahane with the first delivery of his new spell. He pulls it on the leg side as Rana does well to dive forward and take a difficult low catch.

Rahane walks back after a superb knock of 60 from just 34 balls, having hit six fours and three sixes, to lay a solid foundation for his team.

Southee manages to break the 58-run second wicket partnership between Rahane and Smith to keep Mumbai's hopes alive as the hosts were threatening to run away with the game.

Ben Stokes drives Southee through the covers for two runs to get off the mark in IPL and then takes one off the last ball to keep strike.
