Time for action under the lights! Out walk the Lucknow Super Giants openers, Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram. Sunrisers Hyderabad take their positions in the field. Pat Cummins has the new ball in hand, and we’re kicking things off with an all-Aussie showdown. Marsh takes strike, a slip in place, Cummins steaming in over the wicket...

Short and wide, punished! Marsh picks up the length in a flash and pulls it with authority over deep midwicket. First six of the night, and the scoreboard is ticking. LSG know they need at least 200, and this is the kind of start they’d have wanted.

Markram puts on a show against Harsh Dubey! First, he drills one straight down the ground for a boundary. Then, when Dubey tosses it up fuller on off, Markram leans back, gives himself room, and effortlessly lofts it back over the bowler’s head for six. Pure elegance and power in one smooth motion.

Mitchell Marsh inches closer to his fifty. Eshan Malinga bowls a skiddy, back-of-a-length delivery angling in, and Marsh calmly punches it towards long-on for a single.

Fifty up for Mitchell Marsh! He brings it up with a composed single off Harsh Dubey, punching a length ball on leg-stump through mid-on. Bat raised, he acknowledges the applause, he’s looked fluent right from the start and continues to anchor the innings confidently.

Harshal Patel gets one to grip off a length, and Marsh is early into his shot, checks the push and pops it straight back. Harshal dives forward and claims the catch, celebrating like he’s got his man.

But hang on, we’re going upstairs. The first replay shows fingers under the ball, but a different angle raises doubts. It’s close, really close, but the third umpire spots the ball brushing the turf. Decision: not out. Relief for Marsh, and justice served.

Harsh Dubey strikes gold with his maiden IPL wicket, and it’s the big one, Mitchell Marsh departs after a sparkling 65. This was clever bowling: floated on a length outside off, Marsh looked to go inside-out over extra cover but didn’t get the elevation.

Ends up slicing it, and Eshan Malinga at short third makes no mistake, shuffles across and dives forward to pouch it cleanly. Marsh walks back after a fluent knock, and with Pant also gone, LSG have lost two of their pillars in quick succession.

Pooran finds the gap with ease, full toss outside off, and he simply opens the face of the bat to guide it past backward point. Classy placement, no power needed.

Harshal strikes gold with a clever slower yorker. Comes wide of the crease and angles it into middle stump, Markram shapes up for the big hit thinking it’s another full toss. But the ball dips late, sneaks under the bat, and crashes into the stumps.

A milestone moment for Harshal, his 150th IPL wicket, and a crucial blow as SRH halt Markram’s charge just when he was starting to cut loose.

Pat Cummins bowls a 120 km/h short ball aimed at the stumps, and Ayush Badoni manages to toe-end a flat shot just clearing mid-off for a single.

On the next ball, Cummins delivers a 139.7 km/h full delivery targeting the pads. Nicholas Pooran flicks it toward deep square leg for a single but nearly loses his balance in the process.

Eshan Malinga strikes as Ayush Badoni is caught by Nitish Reddy for just 3 runs off 5 balls. Badoni’s innings comes to an end, giving Malinga a crucial wicket.

Harshal Patel bangs in a short one from wide of the crease and angles it across Abdul Samad, who attempts the pull but fails to make contact. Harshal is convinced there’s a nick and persuades Cummins to take the review. But UltraEdge shows a clear gap between bat and ball, it’s brushed Samad’s right shoulder. The original decision stays. No run, no edge.

Fewest balls to 150 IPL wickets

• 2301 – Harshal Patel

• 2444 – Lasith Malinga

• 2543 – Yuzvendra Chahal

• 2556 – Dwayne Bravo

• 2832 – Jasprit Bumrah

Pooran finally breaks the shackles with his first six of the evening, and it’s a big one. Nitish Reddy goes round the wicket and angles it into the pads, but it lands right in Pooran’s hitting arc. He clears his front leg and launches it over deep square leg, sending it 93 meters into the stands. Perfect timing, perfect execution.

Lucknow Super Giants got the strong start they needed, with Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram powering a 115-run opening stand. Marsh was fluent early, Markram followed with a quick fifty, but both fell before they could fully capitalise. Nicholas Pooran chipped in with a brisk 45 off 26, and a few late blows from the lower order pushed LSG to 205.

SRH pulled things back well at the death, conceding just 45 in the last four overs. LSG might feel they left a few runs out there, while SRH will believe they’ve kept things within reach.

Atharva Taide and Abhishek Sharma are at the crease as the chase gets underway. Atharva Taide faces the first ball. Akash Deep opens the attack and bowls a wide, drifting far down the leg side. Taide can’t reach it, and Rishabh Pant dives to his right to glove the ball away.

SRH 9/0 (1)

Akash Deep bowls a wide to Ishan Kishan, and Lucknow lose a review. The appeal lacked confidence, and Pant hesitated before signaling the 'T'. A back-of-a-length delivery angled down, Kishan attempted a glance but missed. Umpire Michael Gough’s delayed wide call added to Lucknow’s uncertainty.

Avesh Khan goes for the body but ends up spraying it down leg. Abhishek Sharma swings for the flick and misses, called wide.

Ravi Bishnoi tosses it up outside off, and Abhishek Sharma brings up his fifty in style, just 18 balls to get there. Stays in the slot and gets smoked straight down the ground for his third six of the over. A cracking knock, full of intent.

Digvesh Rathi broke through at last, removing the dangerous Abhishek Sharma and igniting some late hope for Lucknow Super Giants. Tossed up wide, Sharma went big but sliced it high to sweeper cover where Shardul Thakur took a sharp running catch.

Tensions flared briefly as Sharma exchanged words with Rathi, but the umpires quickly stepped in. Sharma walked off after a blistering 59 off just 20 balls, and LSG finally had something to cling to.

Shardul Thakur bowls a knuckleball, slightly shorter and outside off, Klaasen swivels and pulls it square on the leg side for a single. Next ball, Thakur delivers a full ball outside off at 113 km/h, Kamindu Mendis pushes it gently towards long-off to take another run.

On the very next delivery, Rathi serves up another boundary as Mendis expertly plays a reverse sweep, sending the ball racing past the diving fielder at short third.

Thakur bowls a bumper aimed at the stumps, Kamindu Mendis pulls but top-edges it. The ball evades Pant chasing back, allowing Mendis to take two runs.

Avesh Khan bowls a short-length delivery outside off, Klaasen gently chips it towards the left of long-off for a single. Next ball, Avesh fires in a yorker on the stumps; Klaasen leans into the drive, placing it just wide of long-on to collect two runs with ease.

Shardul Thakur finally nails the yorker and gets his reward. It’s been a nervy little period for LSG, and they’ll take this opening. Full and spearing in just outside off, Klaasen tries to carve it away through point but only manages a faint edge.

Rishabh Pant hears it loud and clear, appeals instantly, and gets the nod from the umpire. Klaasen walks back for 47 off 28 – a solid hand, but SRH lose a key man at a crucial juncture.

That’s the final blow. A single seals it, and Sunrisers Hyderabad march home with a convincing win. With that, they officially end Lucknow Super Giants’ playoff hopes.

A clinical chase, a dominant performance, and SRH make a loud statement as LSG bow out of the race.

Lucknow Super Giants are officially out, and now it's down to just Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians. The two sides will meet in a high-stakes clash on Wednesday evening, a virtual knockout. If Mumbai win, they claim the final playoff spot. But before that, there’s still one more game to be played. The drama isn’t over yet.

That’s a wrap from this clash. We’ll catch you soon with another live blog. Until then, take care and goodbye.
