KKR openers - Ajinkya Rahane and Tim Seifert gets their team off to a cautious start as Mohammed Shami bowls immaculate line and length in the first over.

KKR 2/0 (1)

Mohsin Khan sends Tim Seifert back as the Kiwi batter gives an easy catch to the covers fielder. KKR's opening woes continues, while LSG's pace attack continues to impress with their wicket-taking prowess. Ankrish Raghuvanshi joins Rahane at the crease.

KKR 13/1 (3)

Digvesh Rathi gives just 4 runs from the last over of the powerplay and KKR could manage only 31 runs off the first six overs and lost three wickets. However, the highlights of the powerplay was the dismissal of Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who was given out on a controversial obstructing the field decision.

KKR 31/3 (6)

Chris Green slams George Linde for two sixes to take runs from the over. KKR need more such overs to get a move on in the match. Rinku Singh and Green are the key batters for KKR and they would need them to bat for as long as possible, if they want to get to a competitive score.

KKR 59/4 (9)

What a night Mohsin Khan is having as he send Cameron Green and Anukul Roy back in the 11th over to bag a five-wicket haul. KKR, who was trying to recover after early blows are now in deep trouble. Ramandeep Singh join Rinku Singh in the middle.

KKR 73/6 (11)

Rinku Singh delivers two severe blows over the covers fielder to accumulate 10 runs from the over. This is the last recognized batting pair for KKR. They need them to bat as long as they can, if KKR want to get to a respectable total.

KKR 91/6 (14)

Mohammed Shami delivers an excellent 18th over giving just five runs off it. Rinku Singh (37*) holds the key for KKR. They desperately need him to go hard in the last three overs, if KKR want to get to a competitive score.

KKR 105/7 (17)

Rinku Singh, who was subdued in the season, unleashed himself today on a sluggish Lucknow track and shows why he's termed as one of the most dangerous batters of the modern era. Rinku takes down Digvesh Rathi for 4 sixes in the last over to take 26 runs from it. He finished the innings at 83 not out off 51 balls to take KKR from 93/7 in 15 overs to 155/7 in 20 overs

KKR 155/7 (20)

A sensational catch from Rovman Powell and Kolkata Knight Riders strike in the second over, removing Mitchell Marsh. Vaibhav Arora goes short on his first delivery, gets big on Marsh who tried to pull it over mid-off. Powell misjudged it and circled around the ball, only to jump and grab it with his body on the line. Grabbed it successfully despite hitting himself in the process. KKR have a strong start.

Lucknow Super Giants know they are not chasing a massive total and given they are low on confidence, they look to get off to a cautious start. Rishabh Pant and Aiden Markram play out the dangerous overs of Sunil Narine while Vaibhav Arora bowls three overs in the powerplay. Markram and Pant got some occasional boundaries to keep the run rate under control.

After losing Mitchell Marsh early, both Aiden Markram and Rishabh Pant have adopted a cautious approach, going just over 6 runs per over. Both the batter have stitched a 49-run stand for the 2nd wicket but they'll have to get a move on from here as LSG still need 99 runs off 66 balls.

LSG 57/1 (9)

First with the bat and now in the field, Rinku Singh is having a superb day in the field today. Cameron Green bowls a fuller delivery and Markram smashed it down the ground. At first it was looking that the ball will sail over the fence easily but Rinku Singh plucked it from the rope and threw the ball as he lost balance but came back in time to finish the catch and send Markram back.

LSG 67/2 (11)

Varun Chakravarthy strikes as he gets the wicket of dangerous Nicholas Pooran for 9 off 12 runs. KKR bowlers are bowlers are weaving a web over LSG batter with regular wickets, while choking the run-rate.

LSG 92/4 (15)

That's a big blow for Lucknow Super Giants as Varun Chakravarthy gets Ayush Badoni caught at the deep mid-wicket boundary. Badoni departs after scoring a well-made 24 and that's big dent to LSG's hopes of chasing the target. George Linde joins Himmat Singh at the crease as LSG still need 28 off 12 balls.

LSG 128/6 (18)

1st ball - Kartik Tyagi bowls a slower ball and Shami misses but the batter manage to sneak a single.

2nd ball - That's a dangerous ball from Tyagi and no-ball given straight away from the umpire and that's a free hit for the batter, 15 runs needed off 5 balls.

That's another full toss and the batter hits it in the air and gets caught at the long on boundary but it's another no-ball and the fielding team challenges the decision.

A no-ball is given after checking it in replay.

12 runs needed off 5 balls.

2nd ball - Himmat Singh pulls the short bowl and it's a boundary.
