RR 126/2 (14)

Another boundary from the bat of Riyan Parag. He slammed this one down the ground for a four. This one was an expensive over from Prince Yadav as he leaked 14 runs in it. Rajasthan Royals need 68 runs in 48 balls.

RR 113/2 (12)

A flick shot from Riyan Parag for a six and that sees Rajasthan Royals cross the mark of 100 runs. Prince Yadav sprayed a fuller ball on the pads and Parag flicked it over the deep backward square leg for a biggie. Such strong wrists this batter has!

Nitish Rana is gone! Poor batting this is from Rana and really smart bowling from Shardul Thakur. The pacer troubled the southpaw on the previous delivery with a bouncer that went over the wicketkeeper's head for a six for taking a top-edge and persisted with the plan. Rana ended up hitting the next ball into the hands of the fielder at deep backward square leg.

RR 94/2 (10)

That is the end of Vaibhav Suryavanshi's entertaining knock. He has been stumped out for 34 off 20 balls on the bowling of Aiden Markram. It was some really good glove work from Pant that helped LSG get a much-needed breakthrough. Rajasthan Royals need 96 runs in 68 balls.

Wow! That is a powerful shot from Vaibhav Suryavanshi for a six. It was a short ball from Digvesh Singh Rathi and Suryavanshi muscled it over the deep mid-wicket for a six. Rajasthan Royals need 99 runs in 72 balls.

Five dot ball on the trot from Prince Yadav to Yashasvi Jaiswal before the southpaw slammed a six. It was a short ball from Yadav and Jaiswal hit it over the deep mid-wicket for a biggie. Rajasthan Royals need 120 runs in 84 balls.

RR 61/0 (6)

LSG spinner Digvesh Singh Rathi was brought into the attack and he conceded only two runs in it. Both Jaiswal and Suryavanshi were happy with strike rotation in the over with some reason as none of them attacked the spinner.

RR 41/0 (4) 

Shardul Thakur leaked 13 runs in his second over. This time it was Yashasvi Jaiswal. The southpaw slammed Shardul for a six and a four in the over. Rajasthan Royals are off to a flying start in the chase of 181 runs.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi is lucky this time. His catch has been dropped at mid-wicket. To add insult to injury of Lucknow Super Giants, that raced away for a four. A total of 13 runs came off the Avesh Khan over as Suryavanshi had slammed the second ball of the over for a six.

RR 26/0 (2)

Vaibhav Suryavanshi, the 14-year-old RR star, kicked off in superb fashion. He slammed his first-ever IPL ball for a six to Shardul Thakur. A total of 13 runs came off the over.

RR 13/0 (1)

Shardul Thakur begun with a dot ball to Yashasvi Jaiswal. The southpaw hit the second ball for a four through the deep mid-wicket. Vaibhav Suryavanshi has been brought in as impact sub.

That was an extremely expensive over from Sandeep Sharma! A total of 27 runs came off it. David Miller took a single off the first ball before Abdul Samad slammed four sixes in the remaining five balls to make it a really big over.

Only 7 runs came off Jofra Archer's final over. He returned figures of 1 for 32 in his quota of four overs. Final over coming up. Sandeep Sharma will bowl it.

Ayush Badoni is gone right after scoring his fifty. He scored his half-century in 33 balls and got out off the very next ball. Tushar Deshpande bowled a short ball outside off-stump and Badoni slammed it right into the hands of Shubman Dubey at deep point. LSG are five down.

LSG 143/5 (17.3)

Eight runs came off the Sandeep Sharma over. Ayush Badoni is batting on 46, just one boundary away from his fifty. He should stay there till the end to take LSG to a competitive total vs RR.

Aiden Markram is out for 66 off 45 balls. Wanindu Hasaranga provides Rajasthan Royals the much-needed breakthrough in his final over. That is the second wicket for him. Markram hit the ball right into the hands of Riyan Parag at long-off.

Tushar Deshpande conceded 6 runs in 13th over before Wanindu Hasaranga followed it up with a five-run over. Rajasthan Royals have managed to pull things back a bit. However, they need to wicket to truly put LSG's scoring rate in check.

Aiden Markram continues to score quick runs for Lucknow Super Giants. He slammed Maheesh Theekshana for a six on the third ball of the over. It went over the long-on. A total of 11 runs came off the over. 42 runs have come off the last three overs. LSG are accelerating.

Aiden Markram races to his half-century in 31 balls. He gets there with a triple. The right-handed batter has been leading the charge for LSG in batting so far. He, however, needs to take his innings deep.

Aiden Makram slammed Wanindu Hasaranga for two consecutive sixes on the final two balls of the over. A total of 13 runs came off the over. Markram raced to 47 off 29 balls with those two biggies.

Tushar Deshpande conceded only 8 runs in his second over. Lucknow Super Giants are in some trouble here. Aiden Markram is solid at one end but he has been losing partners from the other end. LSG badly need a solid partnership to bouce back in the game.

Wanindu Hasaranga strikes in the very first over of his. Rishabh Pant has lost his wicket. He tried to play a revese-sweep and nicked the ball to wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel, took a fine catch begind the stumps after a bit of juggling.

Tushar Deshpande has started with a five-run over. This is really good captaincy from Riyan Parag. The pacer has remained wicketless in the last two games and this was a good time to bring him in as LSG are under pressure after losing two wickets in the powerplay.

Another Sandeep Sharma delivery hit Rishabh Pant on the front foot but umpire was unconvinced with an LBW appeal. RR decided to go upstairs only to lose a review as UltraEdge revealed that Pant had got a nick there. It happened on the fourth ball of the over. 5 runs and a wicket came off the over.

LSG 46/2 (6)

Brilliant from Sandeep Sharma! He has got the wicket of Nicholas Pooran. It was a yorker from Sandeep and Pooran has hit on the backfoot. Umpire raised his finger over an LBW appeal but Pooran decided to review it. The ball was found to be hitting the leg stump.

4.4 - A tough chance has been dropped by Shubman Dubey. It was for the wicket of Nicholas Pooran. The southpaw top-edged in the air on the length ball from Jofra Archer but Dubey dropped it at square leg.

LSG 42/1 (5)

Maheesh Theekshana leaks runs in his second over. Aiden Makram hit the Sri Lanka spinner for two fours in the over. A total of 12 runs came in it.

Mitchell Marsh is gone! Big wicket for Jofra Archer. Marsh mistimed it in the air and Shimron Hetmyer took a brilliant catch at backward square leg. The right-handed is gone for 4 runs off 6 balls.

LSG 16/1 (2.2)

Maheesh Theekshana has bowled an economical over. It was a good decision from Riyan Parag to deploy a spinner against the likes of Markram and Marsh.

That turned out to be an expensive over from Jofra Archer. Aiden Markram hit two fours in it and the outfield looks really good.

Jofra Archer is bowling the first over. Mitchell Marsh hit the first ball for a triple. It was hit down the ground and the batters did a good running.

"It's been good, they're heavily destructive batters (on batting with Mitch Marsh and Nic Pooran), that has allowed me to play a different way. We had a lot of fun times together. Very relaxed (on coach Justin Langer), soaks in the pressure, they're working together on building up plans (on the coaching staff), we've enjoyed our time together. It's always unique, you don't want to step on his toes (on being a captain himself and on his relationship with Rishabh Pant), but you feel like you're a spring board if needed, we've some good discussions, but in the park, the captain wants to go by his gut feeling. He has been good so far for our team. I haven't faced him in the nets (on Mayank Yadav), but it's always great to have him back. Bigger venue here, big pockets for him, hopefully, he'll be able to use them to his advantage," said Aiden Markram.

"We were looking to bowl, it is a little bit warm under lights, should be better than the last time. Vaibhav the youngster comes in. It's been kinda tricky, we've been doing small bits right but we haven't been able to put a collective performance together, we've been having honest chats as a team. We love playing here, we know the conditions well, hope we can put that to good use," said RR's stand-in captain Riyan Parag.

"We're going to bat first, wicket is looking dry so we want to take advantage. No dew so why not bat first. General thought process was to take the positives. We are lacking in small areas, want to improve on those and take the game forward. Was good to get back into form and contribute. I was not worried about, knew it was round the corner. Sometimes it takes time and I got time in the last game. Prince comes in for Akash Deep," said LSG captain Rishabh Pant.
