Fuller and on off, Quinton de Kock drives it off the inner half of the bat to long on for a single.

Full again and on middle, angling in, Naman Dhir drills it to long on for a run.

Slower one, on a length and on middle, Quinton de Kock tucks it away with soft hands towards the vacant mid-wicket region and comes back for the second run comfortably.

1 run.

SIX! Welcome to the game, Yuzvendra Chahal! Tossed up, full and around middle. Naman Dhir gets himself leg side of the ball, and with a nice follow-through, tonks it over the bowler's head for a biggie and now that dropped catch will be hurting Chahal even more. 50 UP FOR MI.

Flatter, shortish and angling into leg, Naman Dhir works it towards backward square leg for a run.

SIX! Quinton de Kock's turn now! Flighted delivery, full and on middle and leg. QDK goes down on one knee and nails the slog sweep over the deep mid-wicket fence for half a dozen more.

FOUR! Gets it away! Yuzvendra Chahal drags his length back and just outside off. Quinton de Kock anticipates it early, rocks back and drags it away to the deep mid-wicket fence for a boundary. This also brings up the 50-run stand between these two batters.

WIDE! Fires it short but way outside off, Quinton de Kock lets it go.

And again! A wrong 'un, short and around off, turns away a bit. Quinton de Kock once again leaves it alone. It is called a wide, but Punjab Kings have taken the review. The replay with Ball Tracking shows that the ball is inside the guideline. The on-field call of wide has been overturned.

Slows it up, full and around off, Quinton de Kock takes a big stride out and taps it towards cover for one. 19 runs off Chahal's first over!

Run out chance..missed! Fuller and on off, Naman Dhir drives it a bit too well straight to mid off. Quinton de Kock sets off for the run but is sent back but has no chance of getting back. Shreyas Iyer picks it up but misses his shy at the bowler's end. QDK had already given up but gets a life here.

FOUR! Nice shot! Back of a length and around off, takes pace off and keeps a bit low as well. Naman Dhir picks it up early, waits for it and swats it over mid-wicket for a boundary.

Short of a length and outside off, slower again, Naman Dhir reaches out and stabs it to extra cover.

FOUR! Put away! Vijaykumar Vyshak bangs this into the pitch, on middle, but once again does not bounce that much. Naman Dhir has a heave across the line, gets it from the inside half of the bat but wide of deep square leg for another boundary.

SIX! Better and bigger! Vyshak hits the length hard, on off, pace on this time. Naman Dhir stands tall, climbs onto it and launches it over the long on fence for a biggie. Dhir making the most of the last over of Powerplay.

Overpitched and on off, Naman Dhir drills it towards mid off and calls for the run. He has to hurry but Iyer misses his shy once again. Mumbai Indians are 48/2 at the end of the Powerplay.

Hard length around leg, Quinton de Kock dabs it around the corner on the leg side for a single.

DROPPED! Yuzvendra Chahal has put down a sitter and he's right away blaming this one on the lights. The off-cutter from Jansen, on a length and outside off. Naman Dhir shuffles to the off side and tries to lap it fine but miscues it towards short fine leg. Chahal lunges forward a bit but falls over to his left and fumbles the ball. Dhir, who has already started walking back, sees the dropped catch and pinches the single.

Full-pitched delivery outside off, drilled straight to mid off by de Kock.

FOUR! Hammered! Dug in a bit short and wide of the off stump, Quinton de Kock extends his arms and slams the ball up and over mid off for a boundary.

Drop and run. Good length on off, de Kock lets the ball come on before dropping it just into the off side with soft hands and he picks up a quick single.

A single to end the over, 8 off it. Back of a length and wide outside off, slapped away to deep backward point for a run.

Fuller than a good length, attacking the stumps, Dhir plays it back to the bowler.

FOUR! A hand on it, but the power on the shot is just too much. Length ball on the pads, Naman Dhir keeps still and half-whips it across to the left of mid-wicket. The fielder dives but the ball bounces off the arm and rolls away behind into the fence. Cracking shot.

Short of a length, wide outside off, hit up and over backward point without any real timing for a run.

Pitched up on a fuller length, on middle and leg, de Kock clears the front leg and heaves it through the gap at mid-wicket for a couple of runs.

A length ball on leg, tucked down behind square leg for a single.

That's well fielded in the deep from Shashank Singh. Good length on the stumps, clipped away firmly through square leg. Singh runs to his left from deep backward square leg and puts in the dive to save a couple of runs for his side.

OUT! CAUGHT! A soft dismissal for Ryan Rickelton and Arshdeep Singh brings up 100 IPL WICKETS. Arshdeep even has a bit of a smile on his face as he knows he's picked up a wicket off a rather poor delivery. This is bowled short and angled down leg, Rickelton gets his hands out in front and flicks it aerially but straight down to deep square leg, where Shashank Singh takes a good catch just over his head. Mumbai are 12/1.

OUT! CAUGHT! Make that 101 IPL wickets for Arshdeep Singh, and he's on fire here. Singh pitches the ball fuller and in the channel outside off. Gets it to shape away in the air as well and Suryakumar Yadav is drawn into the drive. SKY plays away from the body and ends up getting a hefty outside edge. The ball doesn't quite fly off the bat but rather gets lobbed towards short third, where Yuzvendra Chahal hangs onto the catch. Arshdeep on a hat-trick and MI are rocked early.

No hat-trick! The in-between length again from Singh and he gets it to swing back into the pads. Naman Dhir nudges it down to square leg.

Back of a length, outside off, played off the back foot and eased away past point for a couple of runs.

Fuller in length, just outside off, Naman Dhir blocks it out to covers.

Oh, a risky single but the batters make it through. Good length on middle, worked away to mid-wicket for one. Cooper Connolly has a shy at the bowler's end but misses as Dhir dives into safety.

Nice and full, lands it outside off, Rickelton leans on and drives it off the inside half of the blade to mid off for a quick single.

SIX! Well, that's one way to kickstart the new campaign from Quinton de Kock. Good-length delivery, too wide outside off, de Kock bends his back knee and wallops it over deep cover-point for a six to get underway.

FOUR LEG BYES! Overcorrection from Jansen, full and on the pads. De Kock misses the flick and the ball brushes the pads, running away to the fine leg fence.

Pitched up, a bit fuller and around off, de Kock leans on to defend.

Oh, that's nearly cut de Kock in half. Back of a length, on off, seams back in sharply but stays a shade low. Quinton is taken aback as he gets beaten past the inside edge.

Back of a length and outside off, not much room to cut and Quinton de Kock ends up chopping it down in front of point.

Oh, a bit of swing right away for Arshdeep. Good-length delivery, just outside off, seams away from the left-hander. Rickelton has a push at it but misses.

Bowled back of a length and outside off, shapes away again, Rickelton lets the ball come onto him before tapping it down to short third.

Oh, that's nicely bowled. Fuller this time and on a tighter line around off, swings away. Rickelton looks to play at it with a straight bat but the ball beats the outside edge.

Lovely start from Singh, four dots in a row, three of them beating the bat as well. Pitched up full and outside off, drawing the drive out from the batter. Rickelton looks to stroke it through covers but is well beaten by the swing.

No run there either, five dots now. Pitched up on off, shapes away, Ryan Rickelton drives on the up but straight to mid off. 

Finally, Rickelton and Mumbai Indians are off the mark, but it's a brilliant start for Punjab. A tad shorter and outside off, Rickelton waits back and angles it away down to the right of backward point for a single. Just one off the first over.
