0.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to the fielder in the deep and Akash Singh gets a huge wicket early on for LSG. This is bowled on a hard length and pushed wide of the off stump. The ball shapes further away as Priyansh Arya stands tall and reaches out to cut. The ball flies off the outer half of the blade to deep backward point where Mayank Yadav takes a reverse cup catch. 2/1

18.5 OUT! GONE! CAUGHT! Digvesh Singh gets his second wicket! Prabhsimran Singh falls 9 runs short of his century, but what a wonderful knock from him this! Pitched too fuller and on off, Prabhsimran Singh switches the stance and goes for the reverse, but couldn't keep it along the ground, and just airs it flat and low off the cue end of the bat towards the cover fielder. Nicholas Pooran dives and takes a fine catch. Prabhsimran Singh departs for 91 and Punjab Kings are 216/5. 216/5

4.3 OUT! CAUGHT! David Miller with a perfectly judged catch in the deep and this time, Josh Inglis has to depart. Akash Singh bowls it just back of a length, around middle, trying to cramp up the batter. Inglis manages to lean back and pulls it flat without much timing. However, the high altitude carries the ball deep and Miller just snaffles it inside the ropes and manages to keep his balance as well. Inglis departs for a quickfire 30 off 14 balls and LSG have their second wicket inside the Powerplay. 50/2

12.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Digvesh Singh picks up a wicket, and the skipper of Punjab Kings, Shreyas Iyer, is gone for 45 runs. Digvesh bowls a regular leg break and keeps it on a tempting length and touch outside off, getting it to turn away as well. Iyer comes forward and looks to launch it over mid off. He only manages to get a top edge off the bottom part of the bat and the ball goes towards backward point. Mayank Yadav backtracks a bit and takes it with both his hands. Digvesh Singh does his notebook celebration again and this is a big wicket for LSG. 128/3

15.2 OUT! CASTLED! A ripper of a delivery from Prince to dismiss Nehal Wadhera! He nails the yorker in, on the leg stump line, Nehal Wadhera crouches low, gets a bit too across to play the lap shot, but does not get any bat on it. The ball is a bit too full to execute that shot. It lands on the base of the leg stump, skids and zips into the wickets, uprooting the leg stump. The 34-run stand for the fourth wicket is broken as Nehal Wadhera departs for 16 (9) and Punjab Kings are 162/4. 162/4

2.5 OUT! PLAYED ON! Arshdeep Singh goes bang-bang and Punjab Kings have 2 wickets inside the first 3 overs! Back-of-a-length delivery from Arshdeep, in the channel around off and this one holds its line. Aiden Markram looks to rock back and power it off the back foot, but it is just too close to the body. In the end, the extra bounce also undoes Markram, and he ends up getting an inside edge back onto the stumps. LSG in deep trouble already at 16/2! 16/2

2.2 OUT! CAUGHT! That is a mighty fine catch from Nehal Wadhera and Arshdeep Singh sees the back of a dangerous Mitchell Marsh early. Arshdeep bowls this one just back of a length around leg and gets it to push across the right-hander. Marsh takes a couple of steps forward and looks to flick off the pads but ends up lifting it high into the night sky. The ball hangs in the sky for an eternity, goes over the infield and in front of deep square leg. Wadhera comes in from deep backward square leg, keeps his eyes on the ball and manages to pouch it. A second duck against PBKS for Marsh this season! 15/1

4.2 OUT! LBW! A prolonged appeal for LBW and eventually, the finger goes up. Nicholas Pooran has reviewed it and he just had to, given the state of the game. Arshdeep Singh just pulls the length back a couple of inches and bowls it pretty straight, angling it in from around middle. Pooran looks to swing it away over the leg side but misses it completely and the ball pings him on the pads. The third umpire is called in and there's nothing on UltraEdge. Ball Tracking shows three reds and giving Arshdeep an extra over has worked wonders for PBKS as he gets his third wicket. LSG sink further to 27/3 as Pooran departs for just 6 (5). 27/3

7.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Oh, straight to the man in the deep and Rishabh Pant's bat has flown 40 yards to the opposite side. Azmatullah Omarzai dishes out a full delivery, spearing it wide of the off stump. Pant comes down the pitch but has to reach for it. He tries to force it over covers but the bat slips out of his hands and the ball goes over cover point and into the safe hands of Shashank Singh. Pant departs for 18 (17) and LSG are now 58/4! 58/4

19.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Lucknow Super Giants lose their seventh and a fantastic knock of Ayush Badoni comes to an end as he goes for 74 runs off just 40 balls. A loopy full ball and around leg, as Chahal sees the batter changing his stance for a reverse sweep. Ayush Badoni looks to reverse-ramp it but gets a top edge towards short third. Arshdeep Singh comes forward a bit and takes this easy catch. 188/7

9.5 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! CAUGHT! From bad to worse, things have now gone too precarious for LSG as Miller, too, walks without much of an impact! Half of the LSG side is back to the dugout now. Omarzai bowls it on a hard length, it lands and skids across off quickly. David Miller charges down the track and tries to slash it over the off side, but the ball gets sliced off the bat and sails towards deep backward point, where Shashank Singh runs in from the boundary and takes a fine running catch. David Miller departs on 11 (8) and LSG are 73/5. 73/5

16.4 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Marco Jansen takes a sharp returning catch and a good inning of Abdul Samad comes to an end. A slower knuckle ball, on a length and around middle, Abdul Samad gets cramped up for the room but he still goes for the pull shot. Hits it off the bottom part of the bat and generates no power on that one. The ball goes to the left of the bowler, who takes this catch on his follow-through. Abdul Samad walks back after scoring 45 (24) and gets a pat on the shoulders from Arshdeep Singh, a good gesture by the left-arm pacer there to appreciate Samad's innings. 154/6
