Sai Sudharsan c Nicholas Pooran b Ravi Bishnoi 56 37 7 1 151.35

13.1

Ravi Bishnoi to Sai Sudharsan, OUT! CAUGHT! Lucknow Super Giants are roaring back now! The break in play brings a big breakthrough for them, and Gujarat Titans lose both set batters in a span of 7 balls. Ravi Bishnoi tosses the ball up and keeps it on off, and fuller in length, Sai Sudharsan just makes a bit of room and looks to loft it over the infield on the off side, but the ball turns the other way, and he only manages to slice it over cover. Nicholas Pooran takes a few steps back and grabs onto a good catch over his right shoulder.

Shubman Gill (C) c Aiden Markram b Avesh Khan 60 38 6 1 157.89

12.1

Avesh Khan to Shubman Gill, OUT! CAUGHT! A fantastic catch was all that Lucknow Super Giants needed to break this stand, and Aiden Markram has provided them just that. Avesh Khan goes fuller and on middle and off, Shubman Gill winds up and pumps it down the ground and almost clears long on. Aiden Markram, in the deep, keeps his eyes on the ball and times his jump perfectly and plucks it out from over and behind his head with both hands. Gujarat Titans lose their skipper. Gill falls for 60 (38), and the 120-run opening partnership is broken.

Jos Buttler (W) c Shardul Thakur b Digvesh Singh 16 14 2 0 114.29

16.4

Digvesh Singh to Jos Buttler, OUT! CAUGHT! Digvesh Singh needed this breakthrough, and there comes his celebration. On the turf! He drops it a bit short and on off, the wrong'un that has got him most of the wickets. Jos Buttler gets on his knee and looks to sweep but only gets a top edge that goes towards the backward square leg region. Shardul Thakur from short fine leg moves across quickly to his left and takes a fine catch while tumbling over.

Washington Sundar b Ravi Bishnoi 2 3 0 0 66.67

13.6

Ravi Bishnoi to Washington Sundar, OUT! CLEANED'EM UP! Ravi Bishnoi strikes with a double wicket over and Lucknow Super Giants are back in the game in a flash. Ravi Bishnoi keeps it on a fuller length and bowls the stock leg-break. Washington Sundar backs away and looks to cut, but the line isn't that away for him to execute that shot. Sundar only manages to get an inside edge that goes back to crash into the stumps. From 120/0, the Titans have slipped to 127/3. Sherfane Rutherford is the new batter.

Sherfane Rutherford lbw b Shardul Thakur 22 19 3 0 115.79

19.3

Shardul Thakur to Sherfane Rutherford, OUT! PLUMB IN FRONT! Shardul Thakur has his first wicket of the day! Not the best of balls though, as this is a low full toss, on middle, Sherfane Rutherford premeditates by moving across towards the off side, maybe expecting the wide yorker. Adjusts to the line as he tries to whip it away but gets beaten on the inside edge and wears it on the front pad right in front of the stumps. Sherfane falls for 22 (19). GT are now 176/5 with three balls to go in the innings.

19.4

Shardul Thakur to Rahul Tewatia, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Two in two for Shardul Thakur and LSG are finishing strongly here! Thakur gets the yorker wrong again as this comes out as a thigh-high full toss, outside off, Rahul spots mid on inside the circle and goes for a cross-batted lofted stroke. Skies it straight up behind mid on and Aiden Markram runs over his left shoulder and takes a safe catch around his chest. The third umpire is called into action to check for height but the tracker shows that the ball is below the waist and it is a fair delivery. 200th wicket in T20s for Thakur. Shardul is on a hat-trick now.

Aiden Markram c Shubman Gill b Prasidh Krishna 58 31 9 1 187.1

11.1

Prasidh Krishna to Aiden Markram, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Prasidh Krishna strikes on his return to the attack! This will give some hope to the Titans. A fine innings from Markram comes to an end. Bowled with an upright seam, on a good length, on off, Aiden swings to go back over the bowler's head. Gets it off the toe end of the bat and skies it straight up towards long off where Shubman Gill runs to his right and takes a neat catch in front of the fence. Markram goes for 58 (31). LSG are now 123/2, needing 58 runs off 53 balls.

Rishabh Pant (C) (W) c Washington Sundar b Prasidh Krishna 21 18 4 0 116.67

6.2

Prasidh Krishna to Rishabh Pant, OUT! CAUGHT! One shot too many from Rishabh Pant and his stay as an opener comes to an end. Lucknow Super Giants lose their skipper for 21 (18) and are 65/1. Prasidh Krishna bangs the deck, on a back of a length, over middle and Rishabh Pant gives the bowler a charge down the track. The ball skids through quickly and Pant throws his hands at it wildly and looks to pull. The ball takes a top edge and goes straight into the bread basket of Washington Sundar at deep third.

Nicholas Pooran c Shahrukh Khan b Rashid Khan 61 34 1 7 179.41

15.2

Rashid Khan to Nicholas Pooran, OUT! CAUGHT! Rashid Khan finally gets the big fish. A bit too late, but that should give him some confidence. Keeps it a tad short and on middle and off, Nicholas Pooran swipes across but does not get the height, nor the elevation. Hits it flat and straight to Shahrukh Khan at long on. Pooran falls for 61 (34).

Ayush Badoni not out 28 20 2 1 140

David Miller b Washington Sundar 7 11 0 0 63.64

18.4

Washington Sundar to David Miller, OUT! TIMBER! Is there a late twist in this game? You never know! Gujarat Titans will have to believe, though. Washington Sundar angles it in, coming on with the arm, full and on off. The ball skids through and keeps a bit low too. David Miller rocks back and looks to pull but the ball scoots under his bat to uproot the off stump.
