LSG vs CSK Live Cricket Score

1 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Excellent running catch from Rahul Tripathi in his 100th IPL game! Angling away, on a hard length, on middle, Markram expects the ball to come back into him but this leaves him and kicks up a bit off the deck. Markram closes the bat face and the ball takes the leading edge. Skies it up behind cover and Rahul Tripathi turns around and goes after it. Keeps his eyes on the ball all the way through and takes a safe catch while diving ahead. Manages to cling on even as his elbow hits the turf. 6/1

9.3 OUT! BOWLED! Ravindra Jadeja has his first wicket of the night! Quick delivery, a touch short on middle, an arm ball that skids off the surface and goes with the arm. Marsh rocks back and looks to pull it, but the ball is not short enough for the pull, and hence, the ball sneaks under his bat and crashes into the middle stump. 73/3

4 OUT! LBW! Excellent review and CSK have rocked LSG early here. Slanting into the left-hander from around the wicket, on middle, Pooran plays all around it as he misses the flick. Gets beaten on the inside edge and the ball hits him on the front pad. A confident shout for LBW but turned down. MS Dhoni reckons that this might slide down leg but Anshul Kamboj is convinced and eventually, MSD takes the review. There is no bat involved and the Ball Tracking comes up as three reds with the ball crashing into the leg stump. The in-form Pooran departs for 8 (9) and LSG are now 23/2. 23/2

19.2 OUT! TAKEN! TWO IN TWO FOR CSK! Matheesha Pathirana bowls the slower delivery, full and on middle. Rishabh Pant stays back and looks to whip it away but goes through his shot a bit early. The ball takes the top edge and goes high up in the air behind. MS Dhoni settles under it and pouches it safely. Pant walks back after a fine 63 off 49 balls, and LSG are 158/6! 158/6

13.4 OUT! STUMPED! Badoni's luck has run out! Or has it? Ayush Badoni has been asked to wait. The third umpire is called into action to check whether MS Dhoni had the gloves behind the line of the stumps. The replays are in and it is touch and go. The third umpire concludes that he has no conclusive evidence to suggest that Dhoni's gloves are in the line of the stumps. Badoni has been given the marching orders. Short and outside off, Badoni premeditates as he dances down the track. Tries to adjust to the line by reaching out but misses. MSD does the rest behind the stumps. 105/4

19.2 OUT! RUN OUT! A superb throw from MS Dhoni! Fuller one but down the leg side, Abdul Samad leaves it alone. Rishabh Pant wants to steal a bye but Samad reacts a bit late. Dhoni cleverly underarms the throw at the bowler's end over Samad's head, who has no idea that the throw is coming at that end. The ball hits the stumps with Samad well short of his crease. David Miller is the new batter but it will be Pant on strike. 158/5

20 OUT! TAKEN! Matheesha Pathirana ends with his second wicket! He takes pace off, full and on middle, Shardul Thakur is very early into his push and ends up chipping it to mid off. Shaik Rasheed comes forward a bit and takes a good catch. Lucknow Super Giants finishes with 166/7! 166/7

4.5 OUT! TAKEN! Avesh Khan gets the first breakthrough for LSG! He takes the pace off, back of a length and outside off. Shaik Rasheed looks to heave it across the line but has to drag it a bit and also goes through the shot early. The ball takes the toe-end of the bat and goes high up in the air. Nicholas Pooran, at mid-wicket, settles under it and takes a nice catch. Rasheed departs after an impressive 27 off 19 on his IPL debut. 52/1

8 OUT! APPEAL FOR LBW AND GIVEN! The move to turn to Aiden Markram has worked like a charm for the Super Giants. Slower through the air, a touch fuller in length, Rachin goes for the sweep and misses it. The ball hits the back leg. Massive appeal from the bowler, and the keeper and the umpire raises his finger. Rachin consults his partner and goes for the review. This looks plumb unless Rachin has got some bat on it. Flat line on UltraEdge as the ball passes the bat. The Ball Tracking shows that the ball is pitching in line, the impact is in line and the ball is hitting the off stump. CSK lose the review as well as their second wicket. 74/2

8.5 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Ravi Bishnoi has his man. CSK lose both set batters in a span of 6 balls. Full on middle, Rahul Tripathi plays the straight drive, in the air back towards the bowler. Bishnoi gets down on his knees and takes a good low catch to his right. Perhaps Tripathi got deceived in the flight there. Abdul Samad will be a relieved man, having dropped Rahul when he was on 5. CSK are now 76/3, needing 91 runs from 67 balls. 76/3

12.2 OUT! TAKEN! Ravindra Jadeja holes out! Tossed up on off, inviting Jadeja to go for the big one, Jadeja accepts the offer and looks to go over long on. He doesn't manage to get the elevation and hits it flat towards long on where Aiden Markram times the jump to perfection and takes it over his head. 96/4

15 OUT! TAKEN! Digvesh Singh strikes with his final ball of the night! Nicely tossed up by Singh, enticting the batter into the big shot. It is the googly and Vijay Shankar spots the ball above his eyeline. He cannot resist himself and swings to go downtown. The ball spins away to catch the outer half of the bat and balloons towards short third where Avesh Khan moves to his right and slides to take a safe catch. Excellent over from Singh. 2 runs and a wicket off it. CSK are now 111/5, needing 56 runs off 36 balls. 111/5
