4.6 overs (1 Run) Another single to end a really good over for Lucknow. On off, this is pushed to mid off for one. A much-needed over for Lucknow.

4.5 overs (1 Run) Hooda takes one! Length and on off, this one takes off after landing. It hits the splice of the bat as Hooda looks to drive, it goes to mid off for one.

4.4 overs (1 Run) Now takes one, good sensible batting! On middle, this is pushed down to mid on for one.

4.3 overs (6 Runs) SIX! BANG! That is trademark de Kock! This is probably his favourite shot! This is shortish and on off, de Kock picks the length early and heaves it over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. Two in a row and he has surely got going.

4.2 overs (6 Runs) SIX! That has hit the fence on the full! Will this get de Kock going now? This is full and right in the slot, it is smashed down the ground, it hits the ropes on the full and it is the first biggie of the game.

4.1 overs (0 Run) De Kock is probably trying to hit the ball way too hard here! This is a full toss, a low one outside off. De Kock swings but it goes off the underedge and to the keeper.

4.1 overs (1 Run) WIDE! Good take in the end! This is well wide outside off, swings away further. De Kock goes after it but misses.

3.6 overs (0 Run) Yet another dot! Lucknow really struggling to get going here! Length and outside off, Hooda waits and then guides it but straight to short third man.

3.5 overs (1 Run) Just the single again! Length and on off, de Kock pushes it to mid off and gets to the other end.

3.4 overs (1 Run) Cracked away! There is a fielder in the deep though! Shorter and outside off, Hooda cuts it through point and takes one.

3.3 overs (1 Run) De Kock gets off strike! Shorter and outside off, this is cut to point for one.

3.2 overs (0 Run) That is yet another lovely delivery! Begins on middle and then moves away. De Kock looks to go downtown this time but is beaten. Some nice bounce for the bowlers.

3.1 overs (0 Run) Slashes but misses! This is wide outside off, room on offer. De Kock goes after it but misses.

2.6 overs (0 Run) A good delivery to welcome the new batter! Goes full and straight, on middle, this is pushed to mid on. End of a wicket-taking over from Rabada.

Deepak Hooda walks out at number 3.

2.5 overs (0 Run) OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Rabada strikes in the Powerplay yet again and he gets the big fish, the in-form KL Rahul! Another beauty of a delivery. This starts on middle, it is angling in but then leaves the batter. Rahul is rooted to his crease and ends up pushing ahead of his body, this goes off the outside edge and it is a low catch taken by Sharma by diving to his right behind the sticks. Early wicket for Punjab, just the start they needed.

2.4 overs (0 Run) That is a good comeback! After serving a half volley on the last ball, Rabada bowls this one on a length and around middle, Rahul looks to defend but it goes off the outer half to short third man.

2.3 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! That is beautifully timed! Length and on off, shaping away. Rahul leans into it and creams it through covers for a boundary.

2.2 overs (1 Run) Probably de Kock was a little surprised there! This one is a full toss, Rabada was going for a yorker but end up bowling a full toss, de Kock is early in the flick, it goes off the inner half wide of mid on for one.

2.1 overs (1 Run) A quick run! On middle, Rahul pushes it to mid on for a single.

1.6 overs (0 Run) Looks to be innovative but it does not come off! This one is well wide outside off, de Kock looks to play the scoop on the leg side but misses by a long way. Really good start by Sandeep.

1.5 overs (0 Run) Really good five deliveries! Length and on off, de Kock pushes it to covers.

1.4 overs (0 Run) Leading edge but safe! This starts around the leg pole. Shapes away. De Kock looks to flick, it is against the swing, it goes off the leading edge but lands well short of point.

1.3 overs (1 Run) Rahul is off the mark! Length and on middle, this is pushed down to long on for one.

1.2 overs (0 Run) Slashes but misses! Outside off, shaping away. Rahul goes after it but no connection.

1.1 overs (1 Run) Some shape for Sandeep too! Fuller and around off, this one moves away. De Kock looks to drive, it goes off the outer half through point for one.

Who will bowl from the other end? It will be Sandeep Sharma.

0.6 over (4 Runs) FOUR LEG BYES! Fails to end the over well! Ends up with one on the pads, Rahul does not put bat on ball but it hits the pad, goes past the keeper and into the fine leg fence. First boundary of the game. A steady start for Lucknow.

0.5 over (0 Run) Now gets this one to shape away! Length and on off, Rahul hangs back and defends. Can he end the over well now?

0.4 over (0 Run) Another loud appeal but it is probably going down leg! Yet again, Arshdeep Singh gets nice amount of movement into the right-hander. The line though is on the pads, Rahul looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pads. Sharma from behind the stumps indicates it is going down leg.

0.3 over (0 Run) Yet again, this one shapes back in nicely but the length is slightly short, on middle, Rahul has enough time to adjust and defend it.

0.2 over (0 Run) This one does come back in a touch! The line is a little too straight though. Rahul looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pads.

0.1 over (1 Run) De Kock and Lucknow are underway! Length and on off, shaping away. De Kock opens the face of the bat and guides it towards point for one.

Time for the action to begin! The players make their way out to the middle. Quinton de Kock and KL Rahul are the openers for Lucknow. Arshdeep Singh has the new ball in hand. Here we go...

Marcus Stoinis is up for a chat. He says he is looking forward to the game after a 5-day break. Mentions he bats when needed, they are still not sure about his best position. He adds he would love to bat up the order but he will bat wherever needed. Mentions the bowling is going good but not sure if he will be needed. Ends by saying, the wicket seems like it will have good bounce.

KL Rahul says there has not been much dew and hence, it is an even game and whoever plays well, will win. States it is now about enjoying their batting and they need to bat smartly. Informs they have one change, Manish misses out and Avesh Khan comes in.

Mayank Agarwal says they would want to know what they are chasing and informs they are playing the same team. Mentions the dew does not arrive and it is now more about trying to restrict them early and chase whatever they put up on board. Mentions the guys are quite flexible and if they win, then who plays and who does not is not an issue. Ends by saying he is looking forward to play against Rahul.

LUCKNOW (PLAYING XI) - Quinton de Kock (WK), KL Rahul (C), Deepak Hooda, Marcus Stoinis, Ayush Badoni, Krunal Pandya, Jason Holder, Dushmantha Chameera, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan (IN FOR Manish Pandey), Mohsin Khan.

PUNJAB (PLAYING XI) - Mayank Agarwal (C), Shikhar Dhawan, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma (WK), Rishi Dhawan, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar, Sandeep Sharma, Arshdeep Singh.

TOSS - Punjab win the toss and ELECT TO FIELD!

PITCH REPORT - Danny Morrison says the straighter boundaries are longer. Adds one needs to bowl length and probably short on this wicket and there is even covering of grass in that area and the pacers will love it.

Lucknow have been really good so far. They sit in the top 4 with 5 games won and three lost out of the 8 they have played. Punjab on the other hand, have won and lost the same number of games. They have been a tad inconsistent so far but head into this game on the back of a good win. Can they continue the good work is what we will have to see. A win here will see them go level on points with the sides placed on 3rd and 4th. They'll have to play really well if they are to beat Lucknow. Toss and teams in a bit…

Three of the most successful franchise are struggling big time as Kolkata tasted yet another defeat at the hands of Delhi. It is a new day and two new teams will be facing of as the action shifts to Pune. It is a clash between the new entrants this year, Lucknow and Punjab. This promises to be an absolute cracker.
