41 needed in the last over. 

Naveen to bowl. Livingstone pulls and the ball hits the spider cam. Dead ball. Too short and given as wide. Livingstone smacks the first legal delivery of the over for a SIX. In the slot and out of the park. Four on the next ball over cover. SIX! Pulled straight over the bowler’s head. 24 off three balls though. Misses the slower ball. Dot.

Krunal Pandya to bowl the penultimate over. Dot on the first ball. Ramp shot on second ball but just a single. Two runs in four balls. Livingstone now hits the ball straight over mid off for four. Single on the last ball. 

Naveen Ul Haq is back. Short ball and Shashank pulls for four! Good start to the over. 

Looks like Mohsin Khan has pulled his hamstrings on the sidelines and is off the field. 

LSG has taken full control of the runchase. Eight runs from the over. 

60 runs in 24 balls. 

Mohsin continues. Livingstone lofts it towards covers and the ball falls just short of the fielder in deep. OUT! Shikhar Dhawan is gone, caught behind. Goes for a pull, gets an edge. Punjab fourth down. 

Sam Curran now at number six. OUT! Curran is out first ball. Tries to pull it and is caught at mid on. Punjab is in trouble and controlling the chase for the first 10 overs. 

Shashank Singh at seven. Takes a single on the hat-trick ball. Four runs and two wickets in that over. 

Mayank bowling his last over. Dhawan unable to time him well, bowling speed touches 154. OUT! Bouncer, Jitesh goes for a pull, skies it and is caught inside the circle. Brilliant bowling by the 21-year-old. 

Liam Livingstone at the crease now. He too finds him hard to time. 

Mohsin is here. Jitesh smacks him straight for four. Punjab has reviewed a wide call that was not given. Dhawan shuffles across and misses the ball on the leg side. Decision stays. Seven runs from the over. 

SIX! Prabhsimran upper cuts it over backward point, Mohsin Khan grabs it but has crossed the boundary rope. OUT! Mayank gets another wicket! Prabhsimran tries to go over mid on but is caught. 

Mayank is in mood and Jitesh isn’t able to time him. This is some seriously good bowling. 

Bishnoi for his third over. Prabhsimran smacks him straight over his head for four. SIX! Now Prabhsimran bends his knees and slogs him over long on. 14 runs from the over.

Prabhsimran Singh at the crease now. He comes in place of Arshdeep Singh as Impact sub.

Dhawan perfectly cuts it past deep third for four!

Bishnoi for his second over. Bairstow and Dhawan steal a double out of nowhere that also takes the team past 100 runs. Just three runs in first five balls. A dot to end. 

Mayank Yadav into the attack. Cut away for four on the second ball. Wide on the length, a nothing ball. He’s clicking close to 150 kphs! Drifts on the pads and Dhawan guides it past fine leg for four. 10 runs from the over. 

Bairstow begins Krunal’s over with a SIX towards midwicket. Slog sweep FTW! Copy paste on the second ball. Same ball, same shot and same result. 15 off the over. 

Ravi Bishnoi into the attack. Dhawan takes out the slog sweep, hits a SIX over midwicket and gets to his fifty! In 30 balls. Gets beaten on the next two balls. Eight runs from the over. 

Krunal Pandya into the attack. Three runs in first five balls. And a single on the last ball as well. Four off the over.

Harshal Patel to bowl the last over. FOUR! A low full toss from Patel and Pandya clears the infield. RUN OUT! Mohsin Khan has to sacrifice his wicket to save Krunal.

Sam Curran comes into the attack and replaces Brar. Just five singles from the over. 

Kagiso Rabada from the other end. OUT! What a timely wicket for Punjab as dangerman Nicholas Pooran is the one to get dismissed.

And another lofted hit, Rahul works his wrists towards midwicket and gets a double. OUT! Rahul is gone. Tried to cut the ball but is caught at backward point. 

Devdutt Padikkal in at three.

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) is back on familiar turf. It should be hoping to get back into form, too, as it takes on Punjab Kings in its first home match of the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

After the defeat to Rajasthan Royals last Sunday, LSG would bank on the season’s trend so far — every team winning its first match at home. For Punjab Kings, this is the third game: it won the first against Delhi Capitals and then lost to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).

Though it is still early days, no team would want to register two losses on the trot. So, much is at stake at the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Stadium on Saturday.
