9:24pm Who would be happy at the halfway stage? SRH would think 45 for 4 in the death overs (17 to 20) is not bad. LSG would think a score above 200 is kinda good. But LSG would rue the fact that they are only 205 and not 225 given their openers' show. Marsh and Markram attacked like they do. SRH were left scratching their heads, before Dubey broke through. That gave SRH a method to follow - take pace off. Yet they chose to go pace-on and Pooran capitalised a little. Is it enough to keep the LSG flame burning or will the sun rise in Hyderabad and set in Lucknow? Find out shortly with Ashish

Harsh Dubey: "I think I could have done better. Whatever we are done is good. Thought they would reach 220 but 206 is also good. Dropped catches are part and parcel. I wasn't thinking about those missed chances. [Batting or bowling allrounder?] Depends on whether we are batting or bowling first! But I am a batting allrounder. My plan was to toss the ball and hope that the ball sticks on the surface, and that's what happened [in the Marsh wicket]. For spinners, the more they play a format, the more they learn. Turning the ball is my strength, so I will stick to that. But I will work on not conceding as many boundaries as I did."

Nitish Kumar Reddy to Abdul Samad, OUT, All that for this! Samad moves across to heave it across the line but gets a thick inside edge onto the off stump through his legs. Reddy keeping a calm hit to deny LSG the big hits and LSG are combusting again

Abdul Samad b Nitish Kumar Reddy 3 (21m 6b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50

Nitish Kumar Reddy to Thakur, 1 wide, OUT, And Thakur is run-out and runs away to the dugout. He swings across the line wildly to the length ball that is wide outside off. He misses completely and Samad now charges down for the bye. Thakur is ball-watching and probably stayed back to ensure Samad is not run-out. The keeper throws it to Reddy, who throws down the stumps at the bowler's end

SN Thakur run out 4 (2m 1b 1x4 0x6) SR: 400

Nitish Kumar Reddy to Thakur, FOUR, There's Thakur! Plays a scoop past the leg stump to get going with a four. Length ball wide outside off, he walks across and directs it through the vacant region in the outfield

Double blow for LSG as Pooran is out and Samad is off-strike. Shardul Thakur is the Impact Player and is the next batter in. He subs out Marsh

Nitish Kumar Reddy to Abdul Samad, OUT, Bull's eye from Kishan and that's curtains for Pooran! Reddy goes for the slower one, 110.1kph, outside off, on a length. Samad swipes across the line but misses. Pooran wants the strike back and so sprints, but he is not quick enough and is well short of the ground

N Pooran run out 45 (47m 26b 6x4 1x6) SR: 173.07

Nitish Kumar Reddy to Pooran, 1 run, Length ball angling in, heaved wide of deep midwicket. Pooran wants two but there is just one

Ashish: "Will Rathi save the day for LSG by signing off multiple times when they bowl coz i think they are few runs short of what would have been a good score" Let's wait for this over to end before deciding
