9.20pm On the back of powerful half-centuries from Faf, Moeen and Rayudu, CSK have racked up 218 for 4. It's their highest total in the IPL against MI.Here's Moeen speaking to the host broadcaster Star Sports: The conditions were good and very small off side. With the batting we have you have to keep going with the intent. He played an amazing knock. That situation was tricky for us. We have some very good players who can do that. Taking early wickets, as always, is the key and they have some special players too. We have to be humble and defend it as a unit.

Amiya : "That was some innings from Rayudu . Only if Jaddu could have scored 40 odd runs in those 22 balls he played . Mumbai would have been looking at 240."

Manu Ajmani: "100 runs off of Bumrah and Boult's quota of 8 overs! How often do you see that?"

Kulkarni to Rayudu, FOUR, Dropped and parried into the boundary. Sums up the first half for MI. This seems like the slower short ball wide of off. Rayudu waits for it to arrive, leans back, and cuts it uppishly in the air. Surya moves across to his left from sweeper cover and shells it

Kulkarni to Rayudu, SIX, whacked over the MI dug-out for six. Rayudu ventures across off stump, Kulkarni misses the yorker. Rayudu lines up this full-toss and slogs it away over square leg

Rory: "Have a feeling Hardik and Thakur will return to form with a bang"

Kulkarni to Rayudu, no run, pretty full and wide once again from Kulkarni. Rayudu gives himself some room. Slashes and misses as Kulkarni takes it away from his reach
