Lucknow Super Giants won the toss and elected to bowl first against Chennai Super Kings.

Sanju Samson gets Chennai off to a solid start as he two crisp boundaries to Mohammad Shami followed by a streaky boundary to take 13 runs from the over. It looks like a good pitch to bat on and if CSK openers - Sanju Samson manage to find their feet on this pitch and Super Kings could end up posting a big first innings total.

CSK 13/0 (1)

That's a wicket! LSG draw first blood as Akash Singh sends CSK skipper back to the pavilion with a well-directed short ball. The ball hurried onto Gaikwad, who got late on the shot and ended up mistiming the shot into the hands of mid-on fielder. Akash Singh celebrated the wicket the trending chit celebration.

CSK 31/1 (3)

Another CSK batter bites the dust and this time it's the big wicket of Sanju Samson, who got dismissed for 20 off 20 balls. What a night Akash Singh is having as he gets his 2nd wicket. Akash Singh bowls into the pads of Samson and he falls into the trap as he mistimes a flick into the hands of deep square leg fielder.

CSK 37/2 (6)

Chennai Super Kings' top-order is rattled by a tall and lanky SRH pacer, who dismissed all the top three of their batters to left them reeling at 71/3 after 9 overs. Akash Singh has proven his selection his right with his hard lengths, making most of the sticky bounce the wicket has to offer. Urvil Patel was the last batter to be dismissed.

CSK 71/3 (10)

Kartik Sharma comes to his own as he slams Prince Yadav for two consecutive sixes to take runs from the over. A much-needed big over from CSK points of view. They would hope that both - Kartik Sharma (43*) and Dewald Brevis (21*) are able to carry this momentum till the end. The partnership has reached to 56 runs and these are dangerous signs for LSG.

CSK 108/3 (13)

Kartik Sharma finally unleashed himself in the IPL. The 14.20 crore pick is showing what he's capable of as he takes down Shahbaz Ahmed for 14 runs from the over but eventually falls off the last ball while trying to clear the long-on boundary. The youngster perished after scoring a blazing 71-run knock off just 42 balls.

CSK 142/5 (16)

Shivam Dube finally unleashed himself for the time in the season and how. The tall and lanky hard-hitter smashed Prince Yadav for two sixes and fours to take 23 runs from the over and take CSK to 187/5 in 20 overs. Kartik Sharma also played a vital role in CSK's total with a blistering 71 off 42 balls.

CSK 187/5 (20)

Mukesh Choudhary has been wayward with his line in the first over and if you off against the like of Josh Inglis and Mitchell Marsh, they could make you pay like they did with Choudhary by taking 15 runs from the first and setting the tone of the chase.

LSG 15/0 (1)

LSG openers - Mitchell Marsh and Josh Inglis have started the chase on a positive note for their team. They targeted less experienced Anshul Kamboj and Mukesh Choudhary while adopting a cautious approach against Spencer Johnson.

LSG 39/0 (4)

Mitchell Marsh goes berserk in Lucknow as he slams a 21-ball fifty to take LSG to 86 runs in the powerplay. He hits Anshul Kamboj for 28 runs in the over and follows it by a 19 runs from Spencer Johnson. He has literally made light work of the chase as LSG now need just 102 runs from 84 balls with all the wickets intact.

LSG 86/0 (6)

After the Powerplay carnage on Spencer Johnson and Anshul Kamboj, Noor Ahmad and Gurjapneet Singh are the two cricketers facing the heat of Mitchell Marsh. He continues to dispatch them to different parts of the ground and LSG are motoring ahead in terms of the chase and are making light work of it. They are favourites to win at this point.

LSG 109/0 (8)

Two wickets in one over! CSK pull something their way as LSG near the target rapidly. Both wickets came in one over of Mukesh Choudhary. First, Josh Inglis wanted to make room and hit on the offside, but miscued to the hands of the deep backward point fielder. Then new batter Nicholas Pooran drove a ball straight, only for it to brush the fingers of Mukesh and hit the stumps with non-striker Marsh out from the crease. Given how Marsh was batting, it was such an event only which could dismiss him. Marsh departs on 90.

LSG 136/2 (12)

Nicholas Pooran and Mukul Choudhary are battling it out for LSG in the middle while CSK are trying hard to make a comeback in the match. While the equation is pretty straightforward for LSG, needing 24 runs from same number of balls with 7 wickets in hand but you can't predict anything with certainty about LSG, given the kind of season they have had.

LSG 164/3 (16)

Nicholas Pooran blasts four consecutive sixes to Anshul Kamboj to sieze win for Lucknow Super Giants with 7 wickets left and 20 balls to spare. A tough day ends for Kamboj as he goes for 63 runs in 2.4 overs with an economy rate of 23.60. Mitchell Marsh, was the one who set the tone of the chase and made it easy for LSG with a blistering knock of 90 off 38 balls.

LSG 188/3 (16.4)

That's a wrap from our end. We'll be back with another blog soon, until then, bye bye.
