Thanks, Monga. LSG's last win was on April 28 against RCB and they would be keen to get back to winning ways today. Will SRH spin their way to victory? We'll find out soon.

5.22pm That's me done for the commentary. Srinidhi Ramanujam will be there during the second innings.

5.20pm Heinrich Klaasen says, and this is not verbatim: The wicket changed quickly in the middle. There was decent bit of spin and good bounce. It is starting to turn a little bit. It is difficult to hit hard lengths bowled into the wicket. Slower balls into the wicket will have natural variation. Not a bad wicket but we can use variations off the wicket. I would like to think the Impact Player will be a spinner. If the spinners can bowl quickly into the wicket, the natural variations will come in. Disappointed with the crowd. That's not what you want from a crowd. It broke a lot of momentum. Hopefully the umpires stay consistent. Not great umpiring.

5.17pm It is an interesting pitch. It is not really slow, but there is turn to be had as Krunal Pandya showed in those two deliveries. So 182 is not a bad score. It might just be par here.

Yash Thakur to Kumar, 2 runs, full toss, on the thigh, swiped into the leg side. They are running a second just in case, and a wide throw allows them to make it
19.5
1
Yash Thakur to Abdul Samad, 1 run, yorker, just outside off, and this time they take a single, which is weird. Perhaps he thought he could push for a two, but the ball had gone straight to square leg
19.4

Yash Thakur to Abdul Samad, SIX, slower ball. The line is wide as expected, but it is on a good length, which batters love at the death. Samad lofts it over long-on for six
19.3
0
Yash Thakur to Abdul Samad, no run, this time he goes at the wicket, and Samad is walking down and yorks himself up. No run again as Samad wants the strike

Seems like foreign objects made their way to the dugout following that no-ball reversal, which is why the LSG dugout was not happy and the play was stopped

19.2
0
Yash Thakur to Abdul Samad, no run, slower wide bouncer. Samad is looking to upper-cut, and is beaten. This time SRH have reviewed it. Samad is off his feet as he tries to play it. It is under his head at the time it goes past the popping crease, and even though the batter's feet are in the air, the on-field call is upheld

0
Yash Thakur to Abdul Samad, no run, he is going wide to Samad. Low full toss, inside edge, turns down the single to short fine leg

Thakur will bowl the last over

Avesh Khan to Klaasen, OUT, full toss for a wicket. Hit straight down the throat of long-on. Oh plum full toss at 132ks, and Prerak Mankad takes the catch and immediately looks back to stare the at the stand, which is right behind their dugout

Avesh Khan to Klaasen, no run, wide yorker. Nailed it. Also Klaasen is backing away. Dot

Seems order has been restored. Avesh has moved over the wicket

Some argy bargy going on. The LSG dugout is also getting involved. Andy Flower of all people. Think it might be a crowd issue. The umpires have moved towards the LSG dugout.

Avesh Khan to Klaasen, FOUR, short ball, around off, chest high, Klaasen pulls but gets a top edge over the keeper for four

Avesh Khan to Abdul Samad, 1 run, goes full and straight, but too high. On the high part of the bat as he looks to swipe at it. Called no-ball on height. LSG review it. Replays show it is touch and go on height, and because the batter is crouching a little, the third umpire has called it a fair delivery. SRH batters are not happy but the third umpire has checked the height at the moment the ball would have crossed the popping crease. They used ball tracking for it.

Around the wicket to Samad too

18.2

Avesh Khan to Abdul Samad, SIX, goes wide, but dishes up a full toss, which Samad hits high, very high, but also long enough to clear long-on

Over the wicket to Samad. Same plans. Bowl wide to him

Avesh Khan to Klaasen, 1 run, yorker, on off, dug out to long-on

Avesh now. Only his second over today. He is also bowling around the wicket to Klaasen

Yash Thakur to Abdul Samad, FOUR, goes for the wide short ball this time, and this time Samad gets a top edge on the pull that just clears short third and then spins away from him for four

Yash Thakur to Abdul Samad, no run, another wide dot. This time a wide yorker. Samad is moving across early, which is allowing him to bowl wide
17.4
0
Yash Thakur to Abdul Samad, no run, slower short ball, wide outside off, but not a wide because Samad has moved across. Left alone. Samad looks for the wide, but it is not called

Over the wicket

17.3
1
Yash Thakur to Klaasen, 1 run, short, into his body, mis-hits the pull, which is just as well because it falls just short of long-on

Around the wicket to Klaasen

17.2

Yash Thakur to Abdul Samad, 1 run, full and wide, and although he has missed the yorker, he concedes just the single to long-on

Over the wicket for Samad

Pandya to Abdul Samad, SIX, interesting pitch. The odd ball has turned, but you can also hit through the line. Not overpitched, but Samad has used his reach to loft this length ball straight over his head for six
