18.1 OUT! LBW! T Natarajan strikes and the death-specialist does his job! This is a very full delivery on middle. Rahul looks to paddle it but misses. The ball hits his pads and there is a big appeal. The umpire raises his finger as it looks dead straight. Rahul takes a review though. The replays roll in and the UltraEdge shows no bat involved. The Ball Tracker shows three reds. So Rahul has to walk back and this is a big wicket for Hyderabad. 144/5

1.4 OUT! TAKEN! Skipper Kane Williamson takes a brilliant catch and the move to bring the off-spinner at the start has worked wonders for Hyderabad. This is flighted from 'round the wicket and bowled on middle. Quinton de Kock makes a bit of room and looks to cover drive. He does so but uppishly and times it well. Williamson though springs to his right at covers and pouches it with both hands. De Kock's weakness against the off-spin has been exploited and Sundar has given his side the perfect start. 8/1

3.1 OUT! LBW! Evin Lewis is a goner and Washington Sundar is on fire! Two left-handed batters have fallen prey to the off-spinner and one has to question whether Lewis should have been sent in and not Manish Pandey. Just a regulation delivery, on a length and sliding into middle and leg. For a third time, Lewis gets down on one knee and looks to sweep but misses. He is rapped on the back leg and this time it is adjacent enough to be given out. Rahul questions whether Lewis got a knick on it but Lewis just starts walking. What a start from Washington Sundar though! 16/2

4.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Romario Shepherd has his reward for being persistent and that is another soft dismissal for Manish Pandey. Back of a length again, over middle stump. Pandey walks towards the ball and tries to force it over the man at mid on. The ball comes off the toe end of the bat and is chipped straight towards Bhuvneshwar Kumar at mid on. Bhuvi takes the simplest of catches and that is an unecessary shot from Pandey. Shepherd though seems elated and Lucknow in a spot of real bother here. 27/3

15.1 OUT! CAUGHT! So Romario Shepherd comes back into the attack and gets rid of dangerous Deepak Hooda! End of a very fine knock from Deepak Hooda! It is on the shorter side on off. Hooda makes room and looks to launch it over deep mid-wicket. However, he fails to get enough distance and probaly it hits the bottom of his blade. The ball goes straight to Rahul Tripathi there and he takes a good catch. Can Hyderabad now restrict the scoring rate? 114/4

20 OUT! RUN OUT! Ayush Badoni is out while stealing a bye off the last ball but he has played a good handy knock yet again. This is a slower length delivery, outside off. Ayush Badoni dances down the track and looks to heave it towards the leg side. He misses. The ball goes off the bounce to the keeper. Nicholas Pooran. He throws it at the non-striker's end as the batters try to steal a bye. Romario Shepherd collects the ball and flicks it onto the stumps quickly. The leg umpire takes it upstairs and the replays comfirm that Ayush Badoni is short of his crease. So Lucknow finish with 169/7. 169/7

18.4 OUT! BOWLED! This is what T Natarajan is known for and it is amazing to see how perfectly he has mastered this art of bowling yorkers. This is a yorker on middle and leg. Pandya looks to whip it away but the ball sneaks through his legs as it beats him and shatters the stumps. Two wickets in the over for T Natarajan. 150/6

5.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Avesh Khan strikes again and Manish Pandey does well to take a very high catch. Both the openers are back in the hut now. It is a full ball, on off. In the slot and Sharma goes for a big hit downtown. He completely miscues it and the ball goes high in the air towards mid off. Manish Pandey waits for it as the ball is way too high and settles under it to take a fine catch. So two early wickets and Hyderabad are in early trouble again. 38/2

3.3 OUT! TAKEN! Avesh Khan picks up a wicket in his first over and Kane Williamson who looked in good touch out there has to depart. Williamson pre-meditates and shuffles well across the off stump. Khan follows him with a fuller delivery but bowls it slower at around 120 clicks. Williamson attempts the scoop but this time it comes off the bottom part of the bat and loops up to the right of the man at short fine leg. Andrew Tye slides in to take a comfortable catch and Williamson is livid with himself. The replays show that the ball took the arm-guard on the way and that is why Williamson seemed disappointed. 25/1

13.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Krunal Pandya comes back into the attack and maybe, just maybe picks up the wicket that turns the game in Lucknow's favour. Nicholas Pooran hasn't got going and hence Rahul Tripathi has to take the risk and it doesn't pay off. Speared into middle, Tripathi gets low and gets a decent connection on the slog-sweep but hits it straight down the throat of the fielder at the mid-wicket fence. Ravi Bishnoi takes a sharp catch and Hyderabad crumbling under pressure. 95/4

10.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Soft dismissal for Aiden Markram and has he now given Lucknow a way back into the match? Krunal Pandya pushes it quicker and fuller, around off. Markram makes a bit of room and looks to go inside-out. Markram neither gets the elevation nor the timing and hits it straight towards the fielder at extra cover. KL Rahul just puts his hands up above his head and takes a comfortable catch. The partnership is broken and Pandya is pumped up. 82/3

17.3 OUT! TAKEN! Avesh Khan gets his revenge and the dangerous Nicholas Pooran departs! Lucknow are still in it. Big, big wicket this! A full toss on off. Nothing delivery really and it was there to hit. However, Pooram goes a bit too hard as he swings his blade. He miscues it and the ball goes towards long off. Deepak Hooda takes an easy catch and we have a match in our hands folks! 143/5

19.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Holder strikes in the first ball and now Lucknow will feel that they the match is in their grasp now. A very full delivery on off. Sundar looks to clear the long fence but fails to get the distance. The ball goes left of long on and Rahul runs to his left and takes a fine catch. Pressure on Hyderabad now. 16 needed from 5 balls! 154/7

17.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Abdul Samad departs for a gloden duck and Khan is turning it on for his team. This is full and outside off. Samad goes for a big booming drive but ball catches the faint edge of his blade. It goes back to Quinton de Kock and he takes an easy catch. So two in two now for Avesh Khan and he will be on a hat-trick now! 143/6

20 OUT! CAUGHT! Three wickets in the over for Jason Holder and the experienced lad has delivered for his team under pressure.  This is a full delivery, on off. Romario Shepherd goes for a big hit down the ground. He ends up slicing the ball to point. Ayush Badoni there takes the catch and Lucknow win this close encounter by 12 runs! 157/9

19.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Good catch by Quinton de Kock and this wicket and no run from it seals a deal for Lucknow now! A slower full delivery, on off. Kumar goes for a big swing across the line. He completely miscues it and the ball goes high in the air behind the keeper. Quinton de Kock moves back and to his right and takes a fine catch. 14 needed from 2 balls! 156/8
