4.6 overs (0 Run) No run.
Deepak Hooda is the next man in.
4.5 overs (0 Run) 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.
4.4 overs (0 Run) Back of a length, around middle and tucked away off the back foot towards mid-wicket.
4.3 overs (6 Runs) SIX! Just over! Romario Shepherd goes short again and Pandey takes him on. This is angled into the body and Pandey flat-bats it over a jumping Umran Malik at the square leg fence for a maximum.
4.2 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Gets right on top of the bounce on this occasion does Manish Pandey. Short of a length, around off and pulled powerfully along the ground into the mid-wicket fence.
4.1 overs (0 Run) Shepherd hits the length hard first up and bowls it on off. Pandey dabs it down towards mid on.
3.6 overs (1 Run) On middle, pushed down to long on for a single and Manish Pandey is off the mark. End of another successful over from Washington Sundar.
3.5 overs (0 Run) A bit of turn now and Sundar is proving to be a thorn for Lucknow. On middle and this one spins in sharply. Pandey gets caught on the crease and is pushed back as he looks to tuck it away. He misses and gets hit on the pads.
3.4 overs (0 Run) Pushes this quicker and outside off. Pandey chops it to point.
3.3 overs (0 Run) Pitches outside off and it turns into Pandey. He looks to cut but misses.
3.2 overs (0 Run) Tossed up, outside off. Pandey drives it to covers.
Manish Pandey is the next man in.
3.1 overs (0 Run) 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!
2.6 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! KL Rahul getting into the groove now. Bit of width on offer and this is classically driven on the up, through cover for a boundary.
2.5 overs (2 Runs) Good running! On middle, Rahul plays it with soft hands into the vacant space around the mid-wicket region and races back for the second.
2.4 overs (1 Run) Around the hips, Lewis sets up to pull but ends up just jabbing it towards deep mid-wicket for a run.
2.3 overs (0 Run) Top delivery from Bhuvi! A yorker this time, nailed just outside the off stump. Evin Lewis looks to jam it out but is well beaten.
2.2 overs (1 Run) A length ball, well outside off. Rahul taps it through the point region for a single.
2.1 overs (0 Run) Full and straight, driven firmly towards mid on.
1.6 overs (0 Run) Down the leg side, Lewis misses the paddle sweep yet again and gets hit on the pads.
1.5 overs (0 Run) NOT OUT! A very tight call but Evin Lewis survives. On a length and Washington Sundar slides this time into middle stump. Lewis misses the sweep and gets pinged on the pads. Washington Sundar seems very interested but the appeal is turned down. The skipper though has obliged and takes the review. It seems straightforward on first glance and UltraEdge confirms that there's no bat involved. Ball Tracker though shows that it is umpire's call on wickets hitting and Sundar cannot believe it.
Evin Lewis walks in at number 3.
1.4 overs (0 Run) 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.
1.3 overs (0 Run) Sundar gives it more air and drifts it into leg stump. De Kock pushes it back to the bowler.
1.2 overs (1 Run) Straightaway now Sundar pulls back his length. Shorter, on middle and leg. Rahul works it in front of square on the leg side for one.
1.1 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Lovely shot from KL Rahul. Washington Sundar starts off with an overpitched delivery on middle. Rahul makes a bit of room and creams it through extra cover to bring up the first boundary of the match.
Washington Sundar to start from the other end.
0.6 over (1 Run) Tidy start from Bhuvneshwar Kumar, just 3 runs off it. A bit wider this time and Rahul slashes it hard towards the right of third man for a run.
0.5 over (0 Run) A length ball, slanted into middle and leg. Rahul nudges it towards square leg.
0.4 over (1 Run) Bhuvi drifts onto the pads and de Kock is able to get off the mark. Sliding down leg, tucked away to fine leg for a single.
0.3 over (0 Run) Nicely timed but for no run. Full and wide, Quinton de Kock strokes it to the man at extra cover.
0.2 over (1 Run) KL Rahul and Lucknow are underway! Around off, pushed gently towards covers for a quick single.
0.1 over (0 Run) Bhuvneshwar Kumar starts off with a fullish delivery, on off. There's a bit of away shape on offer and KL Rahul gets solidly behind it to keep it out.
We are all set to begin! The umpires make their way into the middle. Hyderabad players are in the huddle and they now disperse to take their respective postions. KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock are the openers for Lucknow. Bhuvneshwar Kumar to start with the ball for Hyderabad. KL Rahul will be on strike. Here we go...
So Hyderabad going with an unchanged team and it will be interesting to see if they will make any changes to the batting order, with the likes of Aiden Markram more than capable to bat at the top of the order. However, they need to bowl well first and they will be banking on Bhuvneshwar Kumar to make early inroads with the new ball. Lucknow, on the other hand, now looks even stronger unit with Jason Holder in the lineup and let's see how he goes about his business against his former team.
KL Rahul, the skipper of Lucknow, says that they would have wanted to bowl first as that has been the trend. Informs that they have once change willth Holder coming in for Dushmantha Chameera. Tells that with the new ball one always tries to hit that good area but is is about assessing the conditions and executing in the middle. Adds that Jason Holder is one of the top all-rounder and he strengthens both batting and bowling. Says that the win in the last game was a confidence booster and adds that the performance of the lower- middle order has given them confidence to go hard at top. Applauds Ayush Badoni for his performance and says that it is good to see him perform under pressure and stay calm in those situations and hopes that he can continue the same form.
Kane Williamson, the skipper of Hyderabad, says they will have a bowl first. He adds that they take conditions into account while selecting the playing XI and the surface seems pretty similar to the ones that have been used and there's potential due on the cards as well. Mentions that the game is about fine margins and hopes to put on a better performance tonight. Informs that there are no changes to the playing XI and gives an update about his elbow and says that it is better now.
Lucknow (Playing XI) - KL Rahul (C), Quinton de Kock (WK), Evin Lewis, Manish Pandey, Deepak Hooda, Ayush Badoni, Krunal Pandya, Jason Holder (In place of Dushmantha Chameera), Avesh Khan, Andrew Tye, Ravi Bishnoi.
Hyderabad (Unchanged Playing XI) - Kane Williamson (C), Abhishek Sharma, Rahul Tripathi, Nicholas Pooran (WK), Aiden Markram, Abdul Samad, Romario Shepherd, Washington Sundar, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umran Malik, T Natarajan.
TOSS - The coin goes up and lands in favour of Hyderabad. They have elected to BOWL first.
PITCH REPORT - Rohan Gavaskar is pitchside and he says that it is a fresh pitch and it's an even 70 meters square of the wicket on both sides. He adds that at this stadium back of the length was the way and you couldn't pitch it up but tonight it is a different track and the pacers will look to pitch it up a bit further and the likes of Bhuvi will get more help.
Jason Holder has got his cap in the Lucknow huddle. So expect at least one change in the Lucknow lineup.
Hyderabad, on the other hand, had a forgettable outing in the last game. The bowling unit with enough quality bowlers leaked far too many runs while the new batting lineup just couldn't handle the pressure of the big score and failed miserably. They seem to be heavily dependent on a few international stars and they need their local talent to contribute with the bat if they want to go deep in the tournament. Can they lift themselves up and produce a better performance this time around? Or will Lucknow get their second win on the trot? We shall find out. Toss and teams sheets in a while.
Lucknow, one of the newest entrants in the Indian T20 League started the tournament with a loss in a close encounter but came back with a more clinical display in the second game. In both the games so far, the new franchise has displayed great fighting spirit and the depth of their batting department has been the highlight of their performance so far. Jason Holder is set to be available for selection in this game and that will boost their seam attack which has been a tad expensive. However, it was Ravi Bishnoi who yet again displayed why he is rated so highly with his crafty spin bowling in the last game and Lucknow will hope that he continues in the same vein.
It's time for the battle of Nawabs and Nizams as Lucknow get ready to lock horns against Hyderabad. We welcome everyone to our coverage as we get ready for another mouth-watering contest of this 15th edition of the Indian T20 League.
