That's all we have for you from game one. Mumbai are at No. 2 now. Change the tab to the other game now

Fake fight going on between the Singhs. Harbhajan is on the ground, and is taking punches from Yuvraj. And the umpires join in the act. Rebuking them. All a show perhaps for the crowd who can't see this up close.

Post-match presentation: Aaron Finch: "I thought we had a really good start, through that middle part wuth Yuvi and Pandey, but quick wickets didn't help, if we had 20 runs more we could have squeezed them a bit. We got three days off now before we play KKR in Ranchi."

Rohit Sharma: "All credit goes to the boys, whatever changes I have made on the field, they are responding very well, it is really working out very well for me. We should carry the same momentum."

Man of the Match and contender for bowler of the season is Mitchell Johnson: "definitely enjoying myself, we haven't bowled first in a while, it was nice to get out there and bowl first. You had to bowl a little bit shorter on this slow wicket, I think being a fast bowler you have to try being intimidating. Being a fast bowler is all about mixing it up."

Richardson to Harbhajan Singh, FOUR, wide length ball, he rocks back and smashes it over cover for four. Harbhajan does a bit of a Bhangnam again. Mumbai Indians go to No. 2 on the table

Richardson to Harbhajan Singh, no run, quick full ball, it goes between Harbhajan's leg. Will these dots this over eventually be the difference between second and third spot?

Richardson to Harbhajan Singh, no run, length ball, outside off, defended to cover

Harbhajan Singh is the new man in. Another little thing between Yuvraj and Harbhajan

Richardson to Sharma, OUT, wide half-volley, Sharma drives, gets a thick edge, and it is taken by a leaping Dinda at short third man. Sharma is livid, but he has done his job
