Aiden Markram smashed Xavier Bartlett for two big sixes in the over! The first one went over the deep mid-wicket while the second one sailed over the cow corner. 16 came off the over, but it seems it is too late for LSG now. They need 97 runs in 24 balls.

LSG 158-4 (16)

14.2 - Nicholas Pooran is GONE! That is yet another failure for LSG's Rs 21 crore star. It was a knuckle ball from Marco Jansen and Pooran was completely outplayed by it. He ended up miscuing it down the ground where Shreyas Iyer took a good catch running in from long-on.

Yuzvendra Chahal nearly had his second wicket, but Shashank Singh dropped the catch at deep square leg. Nicholas Pooran smashed it too high in the air. Shashank settled under it, only to realise that he was not positioned correctly.

LSG 138-3 (14)

Arshdeep Singh gets the wicket of Rishabh Pant! It was a fuller ball outside off-stump and the southpaw nicked it to the wicketkeeper while throwing his bat at it. Umpire gave it out, but Pant reviewed it only to burn one DRS. Lucknow Super Giants need 127 runs in 44 balls.

LSG 128-3 (12.4)

OUT! Yuzvendra Chahal has trapped Mitchell Marsh! This was always coming, given LSG were lagging behind in this big chase. With the asking rate creeping towards 17, Marsh tried to go for a big one but found long-on.

LSG 109-2 (11.1)

Only seven came off the over from Vijaykumar Vyshak. Punjab Kings continue to keep Lucknow Super Giants under pressure. LSG need 146 runs off 54 balls. The asking rate has gone over 16 now. One between Rishabh Pant and Mitchell Marsh needs to take the responsibility of scoring quick runs now.

LSG 109-1 (11)

Only five runs came off the over. Yuzvendra Chahal used all his experience to keep both Rishabh Pant and Mitchell Marsh guessing. The pressure is truly on Lucknow Super Giants as the asking rate has gone over 15. They need 153 runs in 60 balls.

LSG 102-1 (10)

Marco Jansen bowled into the arc, and Rishabh Pant smashed it over long-on for a six. The left-arm pacer dragged his length back on the next ball, but Pant outplayed him. He jumped out of his crease and slammed it right down the ground for another maximum. Fifteen runs came off the over.

LSG 76-1 (7)

Ayush Badoni is GONE! He has lost his wicket on the final ball of the Powerplay. Vijaykumar Vyshak bowled it on hard length outside off-stump and Badoni failed to get his timing right and ended up giving a catch to the mid-wicket fielder. Lucknow Super Giants are one down.

LSG 55-0 (5)

Wow! That is a classic cricket shot from Mitchell Marsh for a four. Xavier Bartlett bowled it fuller and Marsh drove it down the ground beautifully for the boundary. Arshdeep Singh ran from long-on and put a good dive, but failed to save the four eventually. 

LSG 44-0 (4)

That is a beautiful shot from Ayush Badoni for a SIX! After several mishits, he finally manages to connect one from the middle of his bat. Xavier Bartlett pitched it up and Badoni played a lofted drive over the long-on for the maximum.

Arshdeep Singh has started well. Mitchell Marsh got off strike on the first ball before Ayush Badoni played three dot balls. The new LSG opener is off to a cautious start. Only two runs came off the over.

LSG 2-0 (1)

Rishabh Pant's Lucknow Super Giants have come up with a surprising call! They have sent Ayush Badoni to open the batting with Mitchell Marsh against Punjab Kings. Arshdeep Singh will bowl the first over. Here we go.

FIVE SIXES IN THE OVER! Would you believe it? You actually gotta do! Aiden Markram was bought into the attack and he was smashed for 32 in the over. Cooper Connolly hit a hat-trick of sixes and then gave the strike to his partner Priyansh Arya, who also slammed two in two.

PBKS 179-1 (13)

6, 6, 4 – PBKS are firing on all cylinders! Priyansh Arya smashed Avesh Khan for two sixes, while Cooper Connolly hit a four later. The LSG bowlers have simply no clue about how to stop the duo. The partnership is now 144 off just 69 balls.

PBKS 147-1 (12)

Cooper Connolly has slammed his half-century in 35 balls! He got off to a slow start but paced his innings really well after that. Punjab Kings are 125 for 1 in 10.5 overs vs Lucknow Super Giants.

PBKS 110-1 (10)

LSG pacer Prince Yadav has hurt himself. He bowled a slower ball, and Priyansh Arya slammed it brutally back towards the pacer. Prince got his hands to it and ended up taking a blow, most probably on his left hand. The physio is checking the fast bowler, and there is a short stoppage in the game.

PBKS 108-1 (9.4)

Priyansh Arya slams his half-century in 19 balls! This has been a sensational knock from the Punjab Kings opener. He has scored his second half-century of the season and fouth overall in IPL. Punjab Kings are 94 for 1 in 8.2 overs vs Lucknow Super Giants.

PBKS 15-1 (2)

OUT! There is the first wicket for Lucknow Super Giants! Mohammed Shami strikes on the third ball. It was a fuller delivery, swinging away from Prabhsimran Singh. The right-handed batter threw his bat at it and found an edge to the first slip.
