Thakur to Rahul Tewatia, out Caught by Markram!! Two in two for Thakur. A low full-toss well outside off, Rahul Tewatia moves across and swings, it's high on the bat and Markram won't drop that. Runs back from mid-on and takes it well. Thakur on a hat-trick now. Hang on - Tewatia is waiting as they check for the height on this. It's a fair delivery by a long way - 0.99m to 0.75m. Rahul Tewatia c Markram b Thakur 0(1)

Thakur to Rutherford, out Lbw!! That is plumb. Good delivery too, Rutherford shuffles across outside off as he knows the line will be there, but Thakur cleverly bowls a low full-toss on middle-stump, Rutherford flicks and misses and that's plumb. Thakur pumps his fist and shouts a come on. Rutherford lbw b Thakur 22(19) [4s-3]

Thakur to Shahrukh Khan, SIX, a juicy low full-toss outside the leg-stump, Shahrukh Khan goes there and swings it flat and clears the deep backward square-leg fence on the full, good start to the final over

Avesh Khan to Rutherford, FOUR, now four to third man. Short third man was inside. Full outside the leg-stump, Rutherford makes room and drives, the thick outside-edge misses off-stump and runs away

Avesh Khan to Rutherford, FOUR, poor delivery. Full outside the leg-stump, flicked away to the vacant deep backward square-leg fence, poor bowling this

Thakur to Rutherford, FOUR, Rutherford has got inside this one, was a low full-toss outside off, Rutherford shuffles across and flicks it to the vacant deep square-leg fence

Thakur to Rutherford, wide, fine bowling. Very full and wide outside off, Rutherford reaches for it to squeeze it out, misses, he reviews for a wide call, Rutherford has moved and the wide line moves, the third umpire is Michael Gough and he is taking his time. No spike on UltraEdge as he checks that, the bat has hit the ground, it is not inside the revised guideline and Gough calls it a wide rightly. Good review by Rutherford

Thakur to Shahrukh Khan, wide, this is a juicy low full-toss but sliding down leg, Shahrukh Khan flicks and misses, called a wide

Digvesh Rathi to Buttler, out Caught by Thakur!! Fine catch this at short fine-leg. Digvesh Rathi writes on the turf in celebration. Finally he has some luck going his way. Was another top-edge as Buttler looks to sweep, the ball is always swirling away from Shardul but he keeps his eyes on it as he runs to his left and dives at the last moment to hang on. Had the shades on too and that's the end of the dangerous Buttler. The extra bounce of Rathi producing the top-edge there. Buttler c Thakur b Digvesh Rathi 16(14) [4s-2]

Digvesh Rathi to Buttler, FOUR, it's full outside off, no-one at deep backward point and Buttler turns around to reverse-sweep hard and over backward point, fine connection

Avesh Khan to Buttler, FOUR, that is risky and Avesh Khan has his hands on his head. Was fired full on leg-stump as Buttler walks forward and across his stumps, but gets bat and gets it wide enough of the diving Pant to his left, runs away for four

Ravi Bishnoi to Washington Sundar, out Bowled!! Now Washington Sundar goes. Ravi Bishnoi punches the air in delight and he is pumped. A length delivery outside off, Sundar tries to dab it down to short third man, a thick inside-edge and it clips the off-stump. Just enough for the bail to fall off. All of a sudden LSG are back in this after a big opening stand. Washington Sundar b Ravi Bishnoi 2(3)

Ravi Bishnoi to Sai Sudharsan, out Caught by Pooran!! Good catch at extra-cover. Bishnoi has a wicket. It's a wicket first ball after the break. How often have we seen that this season. It's tossed up full outside off, maybe the ball held up on the pitch a bit, that foils the timing of Sai Sudharsan who gets forward to loft and miscues it, Pooran goes back and leaps a little to take a good catch. Both the set batters gone in quick succession. Sai Sudharsan c Pooran b Ravi Bishnoi 56(37) [4s-7 6s-1]

Avesh Khan to Shubman Gill, out Caught by Markram!! In the air and taken! 122.3kph, full and in the slot, Shubman Gill shapes to loft it over long-on. The bat turns at the point of impact and the timing goes awry. More height than distance. Markram, at long-on, hops to take an overhead catch just a few inches in front of the boundary rope. Landed on his left leg but held his balance. Finally, a breakthrough for LSG! Shubman Gill c Markram b Avesh Khan 60(38) [4s-6 6s-1]

Akash Deep to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, stand and deliver! Akash Deep stands in disbelief. Overpitched delivery, Sai Sudharsan stays in his crease and pumps it to long-on for a one-bounce four. The man in the deep is a mere spectator

Akash Deep to Shubman Gill, FOUR, that's a hit-me delivery. Short of length ball down leg and Gill helps it on its way to fine leg for an easy boundary. Slower ball but errs with his line

Digvesh Rathi to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, rare bad ball from Digvesh Rathi! Full and down leg as the batter backs away. The left-hander gets low and sweeps hard hitting it square of the short fine leg fielder. 10th IPL fifty for Sai Sudharsan!

Digvesh Rathi to Sai Sudharsan, no run, dropped! 91kph, googly on a slightly shorter length, Sai Sudharsan rocks back to cut. Goes to extra cover where a forward-leaning Samad puts it down

Ravi Bishnoi to Shubman Gill, FOUR, 101.3kph, quick and there's width on offer. Gill smartly uses the bowler's pace and width to cut it behind square on the off-side. Beats short third man comfortably to his right

Avesh Khan to Sai Sudharsan, SIX, Avesh greeted with a six! 129.2kph, hit-me short of length ball on the pads, Sai Sudharsan whips it up and over deep backward square leg. Middles it and the six brings up GT's fifty

Akash Deep to Shubman Gill, FOUR, and, he's been greeted with a boundary! An authoritative shot. 137.2kph, short of a good length delivery, the GT captain dances down the track, moves leg-side in the process and slaps the cut through extra cover

Digvesh Rathi to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, 90.7kph, Digvesh Rathi errs and Sai Sudharsan pounces. It's a loopy overpitched delivery outside off and Sai Sudharsan squeeze-drives it wide of Miller at cover. It was stoppable and Miller wouldn't be happy

Thakur to Shubman Gill, FOUR, nicely placed! Slower ball on a length outside off, Gill spots it, waits and cuts it between short third man and backward point

Akash Deep to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, 140kph, Akash Deep stays over the wicket and overpitches, Sai Sudharsan gets half-forward and offers the maker's name to play a sumptuous straight drive. No need to run for that

Thakur to Shubman Gill, 1 run, 128.8kph, Gill walks forward, knocks this short of a good length ball towards mid-on and sets off for a risky single. Luckily for Gill, Pooran doesn't find the target. A direct-hit would have been curtains for the GT captain

Thakur to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, 132.3kph, the in-form batter gets off the mark straightaway! With two deep fielders on the on-side, Shardul offers width on a short of length. Sai Sudharsan hops and punches it to the right of backward point. Superb timing!
