Pune 84-1 (10 ovs) vs Mumbai | Scorecard

Veteran off-spinner Harbhajan Singh comes into the attack. Tripathi plays the late cut off the second ball, fine on the off-side for three runs to bring up Pune's 50, in the seventh over. Rahane sweeps the fourth ball fine on the leg side as the fielder square at fine leg does well to run to his right and keep it down to a couple with a diving stop just inside the ropes. Tripathi gives Harbhajan the charge but gets the leading edge for a single to the thirdman and the off-spinner is not happy that the youngster gave him the charge.

McClenaghan comes back for his second spell and suffers at the hand of Tripathi, who hits him for consecutive boundaries through the off-side.

Rahane despatches the fifth ball through midwicket for his third four as McClenaghan goes for 14 runs in his second over with Pune's openers continuing to build their stand.

Harbhajan comes up with a tight second over, conceding just five singles.

Karn makes the first breakthrough with the wicket of Rahane, who is beaten by which looks to have bounced a bit more as he slices it on the off-side to be caught in the covers. Rahane played a good knock of 38 from 32 balls, putting on 76 runs for the opening wicket with Tripathi.

The leg-spinner nearly gets another wicket as Tripathi sweeps him uppishly which just about goes over Nitish Rana at deep square leg for a six.
