LSG vs KKR Live Cricket Score

4.2 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Naveen-ul-Haq fights back! KL Rahul persisted with the Afghan seamer despite going for 19 runs and it has paid off. Naveen-ul-Haq stays over the wicket and rolls his fingers over the ball. Pulls his length back as well and bowls it outside off, Phil Salt reaches out to thrash it through the off side with no real foot movement. The ball rises a bit off the deck and catches the outside edge of the bat. It lobs behind the wicket where KL Rahul dives to his right and snaffles it. 61/1

12 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Devdutt Padikkal does not make any mistake this time! Lucknow will be relieved that they have managed to end the carnage from Sunil Narine but they cannot breathe freely just yet as there is a lot of firepower still left in the shed for Kolkata. Bowls it full, on off, Sunil Narine shapes up to go big again and looks to clear long off. Skies it off the toe-end of the bat towards long off where Devdutt Padikkal runs in a few steps and takes it near his chest. The Lucknow crowd stands up to applaud the knock from Narine. 140/2

15.1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! And again, a break causes a breakthrough and it's all happening here at Lucknow as the concussion sub, Yudhvir gets a wicket off his very first delivery. Short in length, angling in from outside off, just over the top of off, Angkrish Raghuvanshi looks to guide it towards short third getting on top of it but ends up getting a bottom edge that goes straight into the gloves of KL Rahul who makes no mistake. The captain of Kolkata, Shreyas Iyer comes out to bat now. 171/4

14.2 OUT! TAKEN! Krishnappa Gowtham, you beauty! Gowtham comes on as a substitute and pulls off a pressure catch. The crowd erupts and this is a massive wicket for Lucknow. Naveen-ul-Haq sticks to his plan of bowling near the wide guideline, on a length, Andre Russell stays deep in his crease and reaches out to go up and over cover. Slices it off the bottom half of the bat. Krishnappa Gowtham at cover, turns around and keeps his eyes on the ball all the way through. Takes it over his shoulder and the ball does not pop out even as his elbow hits the ground. An absolute screamer of a catch from Gowtham and Dre Russ departs without causing much damage. 167/3

18 OUT! TAKEN! Rinku Singh departs now and Naveen gets his third wicket. Bangs it short in length, over the top of the middle and leg, Rinku Singh looks to pull it but he plays it a bit close to the body, hence doesn't generate enough power and gets it off the high end of the bat. The ball lobs up and Marcus Stoinis stationed at square leg runs forward and completes the catch. Rinku Singh is really disappointed with himself as he couldn't get going. 200/5

19.3 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! An absolute screamer of a catch from KL Rahul! Yash bowls a slower bouncer going down leg, Shreyas Iyer swivels to help it away fine to deep fine leg but only manages to catch the faint brush off his gloves. KL Rahul puts in a full-stretched dive to his left and completes the catch to dismiss his opposition skipper. 224/6

7.3 OUT! TAKEN! Harshit Rana gets rid of the Lucknow skipper! KL Rahul could not have picked the man in the deep any better. Lands it on a good length and the width is there for the batter to pounce on, KL Rahul's eyes light up as he throws his hands at it. He has no intention of keeping the ball along the ground. Hits it flat and it is straight down the throat of deep cover where Ramandeep Singh takes it near his face. 70/2

2 OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! OH, MY WORD! THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST CATCHES OF THIS SEASON! Ramandeep Singh, you beauty! Starc angles the ball into the batter on a shade fuller length, on the middle and leg, Arshin Kulkarni looks to flick it over the leg side but he closes the bat's face way too early and as a result, the ball flies up in the night sky catching a thick leading edge over the cover region. The ball flies up for an eternity and Ramandeep Singh from covers sprints backwards and keeps his eyes on the ball before taking an absolute blinder of a catch diving forward. He stopped a bit for a second before picking up pace and then dived to his left to grab it with the ball swirling away from him. 20/1

9.1 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Andre Russell strikes gold for Kolkata with his first delivery. A body blow to Lucknow as the in-form Marcus Stoinis departs. 5th time in T20 cricket that Russell has dismissed Stoinis and the match-up has worked for the visitors. Bowls it from over the wicket, on a good length, on off, Marcus Stoinis stays put and has a swipe across the line. The ball comes in a touch and catches the top edge of the bat. It goes high in the night sky towards point where Harshit Rana runs a few steps in and opts to take it low near his knees. 85/4

8.2 OUT! LBW! A big shout and up goes the finger. It looks dead straight but Deepak Hooda has taken the review. Did he get some bat on it? Or does he feel that it is going over the stumps? Varun Chakaravarthy slips it on a full length, on middle and leg, Deepak Hooda strides ahead to defend but fails to smother the spin. The ball turns in sharply, sneaks past the inside edge, and pings Hooda on the flap of the front pad. There is nothing on UltraEdge and it is umpire's call on Ball Tracking with the ball clipping the top of the leg stump. Hooda feels hard done by the decision but he will have to keep walking. Lucknow keep their review but lose Hooda. 77/3

11.2 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Dre Russ strikes again and is over the moon with this crucial wicket! Short ball on the middle, getting the bounce right, over middle, Nicholas Pooran goes for a pull shot but gets a feather on it that carries straight to Phil Salt behind the wickets who takes an alert catch. The dangerous Pooran goes back now and Lucknow is in all sorts of trouble. Andre Russell, with this scalp, gets the better of his fellow countryman for the fifth time in the T20s now. 101/5

12.3 OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Sunil Narine gets a wicket now and Lucknow is falling apart here. Sunil Narine bowls it on a slightly pulled-back length around off, Ayush Badoni gets his dancing shoes on and charges ahead to go downtown but fails to generate enough power on the shot as the bat twists in his hand a bit and hence, it slices up in the night sky for a fair bit of time and sails over mid off. Mitchell Starc from long off comes forward and takes a comfortable catch. 109/6

14 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Now, that's an unlucky way to get out! Full in length, drifting around off, Turner goes for a big heave and is down on one knee for an expansive shot but he gets a thickish inside edge onto his left boot and the ball deflects straight into the hands of Varun Chakravarthy who takes a simply dolly of a catch coming forward. The TV Umpire checks and confirms that the ball has clearly deflected off the boot and didn't bump off the ground. 125/7

14.4 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Phil Salt does not drop those! Bangs it into the deck, on off, Krunal Pandya arches back and shapes up to play the upper cut over the keeper. The ball comes on quicker than he anticipated and gets big on him. Pandya gets a feather on it and Salt does the rest by leaping and completes it with ease. 129/8

16 OUT! TAKEN! Varun Chakaravarthy gets his reward for floating it up there! Chakaravarthy offers flight from over the wicket, full and around off, Yudhvir Singh gets down for the slog sweep. He swings with all his might but only manages to get a top edge that goes high in the air but only as far as cover where Andre Russell settles under the skier and makes no mistake. Third wicket of the night for Chakaravarthy and Lucknow are crumbling towards a heavy defeat. 137/9

16.1 OUT! PLUMB IN FRONT! A confident appeal and up goes the finger! Harshit Rana bowls the off-cutter from over the wicket, full and straight, at the stumps, Ravi Bishnoi fails to pick the change of pace and presses forward to clip it away off his pads. He gets undone by the lack of pace and gets beaten on the inside edge. The ball goes through to rap him on the crouched back leg right in front of the stumps. It looked dead straight at first glance and this looks like a review more in hope than anything else by Ravi Bishnoi. There is nothing on UltraEdge and the Ball Tracking shows the ball to be clipping the leg stump and it is umpire's call. The on-field decision will stand and it is all over for Lucknow. All smiles in the Kolkata camp as they win by a handsome margin of 98 runs. 137/10
