1
14.6: Avesh Khan to Romario Shepherd, Full and straight, gets it full enough, does Avesh. Shepherd drives it to long off for a single. Still, 2 needed for the win for RCB.

6
14.5: Avesh Khan to Romario Shepherd, SIX! Shepherd wants to end proceedings in this over itself. Slower ball, on a length and around off, Romario Shepherd reads it early, waits for it and powers it across and over wide long on for a biggie. Just 3 needed for the win now.

1
14.4: Avesh Khan to Tim David, Pitched fuller on middle, David clears the front leg but fails to get under the ball and drills it down to long off for just one more.

1
14.3: Avesh Khan to Romario Shepherd, Back of a length and outside off, Shepherd glides the ball off the face of the ball and behind point for a single.

0
14.2: Avesh Khan to Romario Shepherd, Oh, a bit of yes and no between the batters, but the fumble from the fielder lets the batters off the hook again. Good length on off, Shepherd nudges it to the right of point and looks for the single. Abdul Samad moves to his right but fails to pick up the ball cleanly and the batters eventually backtrack and not go for the single.

0
14.1: Avesh Khan to Romario Shepherd, On a good length, around off, slanting it in. Shepherd gets forward and drives it towards mid off.

End of over 14
RCB136/5
RCB Batting T David 13(7) R Shepherd 2(2)

13.6: Digvesh Singh to Tim David, FOUR! Misfield now from Linde. Flicks off the fingers, and lands it short, outside off. Tim David rocks back and executes the cut shot to perfection through the point gap. George Linde runs across to his left from deep cover. Puts in a dive, gets his hands on the ball, but ends up parrying it to the ropes behind.

2
13.5: Digvesh Singh to Tim David, IN THE AIR... PUT DOWN! A top effort, goes in vain. Short ball on middle stump. David rocks back and goes for a big heave towards cow corner, but mistimes and does not have the distance or the power to clear the ropes. Abdul Samad moves to his left from deep mid-wicket, takes the catch while running, but then realises he is going beyond the ropes, so he lobs it up casually towards Markram converging from long on. The timing between the two fielders is completely off, almost as if they’re in different time zones. Markram is nowhere near in a position to complete it as Samad runs over the ropes. Two taken.

6
13.4: Digvesh Singh to Tim David, SIX! Hit flat and clean! Overpitched and around off, Tim David reads the googly nicely, gets under it and pumps it behind long off for a cracking six.

0
13.3: Digvesh Singh to Tim David, Slows it up and slides it onto the pads. David gets on the front foot to push it straight back, but inside edges onto the pads.

0
13.2: Digvesh Singh to Tim David, Pushed full and on leg, clipped gently to mid-wicket.

1
13.1: Digvesh Singh to Romario Shepherd, The googly at 89.4 kph, around off and short. Romario Shepherd camps back and punches it through the vacant cover region for a single.

End of over 20

LSG Batting A Khan 1(2) D Singh 0(3)

0
19.6: Rasikh Salam to Avesh Khan, OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! A yorker and straight on the off stump. Avesh shuffles across, moving away to the off side to scoop it over short fine leg, but fails to connect. Misses to put the bat on the ball and sees his off stump go for a walk. Despite falling on his follow-through, Salam collects himself to celebrate his four-wicket haul. LUCKNOW SUPER GIANTS ARE BOWLED OUT ON 146!

0
19.5: Rasikh Salam to Digvesh Singh, Misses the run out chance! Jitesh could have read a book and scored the bullseye here, but he misses. On a good length around off. Digvesh Singh shapes for a flick but misses, and the ball carries through to the keeper. They sneak a bye. Jitesh has a shy at the striker’s end with an underarm throw but misses. Rasikh, moving in to back up, fumbles the collection mid-pitch but it stays in his vicinity.

0
19.4: Rasikh Salam to Digvesh Singh, Full and slower, outside the off stump. Digvesh commits too early, loses his bottom hand and ends up toeing the ball straight back. Rasikh reacts sharply in his follow-through, diving to his left to cut it off and keep it to a dot.

0
19.3: Rasikh Salam to Digvesh Singh, Deceptive pace off delivery, outside off and full. Digvesh loosely hangs his bat away from the body, but the ball just does not rise and beats the bat, rolling back to the keeper.

0
19.2: Rasikh Salam to Mukul Choudhary, OUT! BOWLED! Salam gets his third and wins the duel against Mukul Choudhary. Clever variation, shifting both pace and trajectory. He goes full and brings it back into the pads. Mukul walks forward and looks to manufacture a wristy flick, but misjudges it completely. Swings across the line, misses, and the ball slips through the pads to crash into the leg stump. Lucknow Super Giants are 145/9 down.

6
19.1: Rasikh Salam to Mukul Choudhary, SIX! SMACKED! A very slow full ball, around off. Mukul Choudhary has to wait for months for the ball to arrive. Gets low on his knee, and slogs it comfortably over the long on fielder for a six.

End of over 19
LSG139/8
LSG Batting M Choudhary 33(26) A Khan 1(1)

1
18.6: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Mukul Choudhary, A single to end the over and Mukul Choudhary will keep strike to begin the final over. Back of a length and outside off, slapped away through cover-point for a single.

1
18.5: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Avesh Khan, No hat-trick! A slower length ball, outside off, Avesh Khan clears the front leg and drags it without any timing through mid on for a single.

0
18.4: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Mohammad Shami, OUT! FLATTENS THE STICKS! Two in two for Bhuvi and he is on a hat trick. A pinpoint yorker, aimed at the sticks, right at the base of the off and middle poles. Mohammad Shami clears the front leg to hit it across, but his bat comes down after the ball passes him and he hears the death rattle behind him. Shami comes and Shami goes.

0
18.3: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to George Linde, OUT! STRAIGHT UP AND TAKEN! Tim David has made it look so easy. At 126.9 kph. Slower delivery, wide outside the off stump, on a back of a length. Linde throws his hands at it without any footwork. He slices it off the bottom edge over backward point. David, at deep third, runs over his left shoulder to his left and completes a magnificent running catch. Keeps his eyes on the ball and makes it look effortless. Lucknow Super Giants are 137/7 down now, losing their Impact Sub.

1
18.2: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Mukul Choudhary, Yorker on the leg stump. Mukul inside the crease and whips across to deep square leg, and gets a single.

1
18.1: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to George Linde, Falls just short! Full and on the leg stump line. George Linde clears the front leg and lofts it off the toe end, toward long on. Romario Shepherd runs to his right, and dives to catch, but the ball lands just short and hits his right knee instead. Two taken.

End of over 18
LSG135/6
LSG Batting G Linde 6(5) M Choudhary 31(24)

0
17.6: Josh Hazlewood to George Linde, Hits the hard length, keeping the line of attack on the stumps and it skids through. George Linde is hurried on the pull shot, gets no connection and the ball deflects off the thigh pad to the backward point region for a leg bye. Excellent spell from Josh Hazlewood. He ends with figures of 4-0-20-1.

2
17.5: Josh Hazlewood to George Linde, At 138.7 kph, full in length, on leg. Linde with a bottom-handed lofted shot down the ground. The fielder from long off gets across and stops it. Two taken.

4
17.4: Josh Hazlewood to George Linde, FOUR! Gets the reward for innovation, does Linde! Short of a length, pitched outside leg. George Linde moves outside leg, switches his stance, uses the pace of the ball, and reverse ramps it over the keeper for a boundary.

0
17.3: Josh Hazlewood to George Linde, On a length, at 135.7 kph, on top of middle. George stands tall and punches it straight to the cover fielder.

1
17.2: Josh Hazlewood to Mukul Choudhary, Full and straight, around off, Mukul Choudhary gets on the front foot and drives it to long off for a run.

2
17.1: Josh Hazlewood to Mukul Choudhary, A slower length ball, on middle and off. Mukul Choudhary pulls it along the ground through square leg and gets back for the second quickly before the throw is relayed back to the keeper. Salt with another good piece of fielding in the deep.

1WD
17.1: Josh Hazlewood to Mukul Choudhary, WIDE! Mukul shows his cards early by walking forward and Hazlewood spears one down leg. Choudhary leaves.
