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."
Akash Deep in next
Abdul Samad b Nitish Kumar Reddy 3 (21m 6b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50
SN Thakur run out 4 (2m 1b 1x4 0x6) SR: 400
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
N Pooran run out 45 (47m 26b 6x4 1x6) SR: 173.07
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
