- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.5 straight to the sweeper, and Arya bites the dust in the first over! Akash Singh has a wicket in his first over, and LSG are underway! On a length, swerving away wide outside off. Arya was always going to go after it but the late swing means he slices it a touch. Arrows it straight down Mayank's throat at deep backward point and LSG are on the board very early! 2/118.5 the notebook celebration is out, and that means Rathi has another wicket, and it is that of the set batter! Slanted across full just outside off. Prabhsimran brings out the switch hit but does not connect the way he wants. Off the bottom part of the bat and Pooran swoops forward at extra cover to gobble up the chance. Prabhsimran is disappointed but he can be proud of his efforts - he has taken PBKS beyond 200 and within range of 230! 216/54.3 taken on the fence, and Inglis has to depart after a sprightly cameo! Slower ball dug into the track on middle stump. Inglis' eyes light up and he thinks there is a six for the taking. Swipes at it and gets decent contact but does not get the elevation he is after. Miller, stood on the deep mid wicket fence, extends his arms fully over his head and completes the catch, while also ensuring he does not step onto the fence. Two wickets in three overs for Akash, and PBKS lose their second! 50/212.2 six and out, and Rathi has his man! The first time Shreyas has fallen to spin this season too! Floated up on a fullish length outside off and this seems to shape away or spin away just a little. Shreyas, looking to go inside-out, slices across it too much and lobs it towards backward point. Mayank does the rest and the Rathi notebook celebration is out, with that celebration taking place on his hand instead of the turf. Shreyas departs for 45 but not before injecting momentum into this innings! 128/315.2 bowled'im around his legs, and Wadhera's cameo has been cut short! Sizzling yorker on leg stump. Wadhera tries the cute, little paddle round the corner but probably picks the wrong ball to do so. Too full to be playing that stroke and he does not get any bat on it. Hears the death rattle soon after and no real celebration from Prince Yadav. That could still be a vital wicket, though, given how Wadhera had begun! 162/4Extras5 (w 5)TOTAL236/5 (20 Overs, RR: 11.8)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Priyansh Arya, 0.5 ov), 2-50 (Josh Inglis, 4.3 ov), 3-128 (Shreyas Iyer, 12.2 ov), 4-162 (Nehal Wadhera, 15.2 ov), 5-216 (Prabhsimran Singh, 18.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.5 chopped on, and Arshdeep is wreaking havoc with the new ball. And in other news, grass is green! Dug in shorter and this is angled across Markram. He looks for that trademark back-foot punch but does not come to grips with the movement. Only manages an inside edge that crashes into the stumps, and Markram is livid with himself. Arshdeep will not mind, though. He will not mind it one bit. Arshdeep has two, and LSG in some early strife! 16/22.2 goes a mile up, and nestles into the graceful palms of Nehal Wadhera! Huge wicket! On a length on the pads. Marsh steps down the track and gets under it completely. The ball goes so high that it comes down with snow on it and when it does, Wadhera is there to accept the offering in the deep square leg region. Holds his nerve, holds on to the catch, and Marsh is outta here! 15/14.2 plumb with a capital P, and Nicky P has to go back for an early shower! Zipped in full on middle and leg. Pooran has a swipe across the line and misses. Gets pinned on the back leg right in front of the stumps and the umpire's finger is up in a jiffy. Pooran wants to have another look, but all signs are that this is a wasted review. Clear gap between bat and ball. Ball Tracking comes up now and...it shows the ball to be thundering into leg stump. Pooran has to go, and he takes a review along with him! 27/37.5 Pant loses his bat, and loses his wicket as well! And LSG may have lost this game too! Angled across on a fullish length just outside off. Pant hares down the track and then throws his bat at it (quite literally too). The bat ends up at square leg, and the ball ends up in Shashank's hands at deep point. Omarzai in on the wicket-taking act, and LSG are now four down inside eight overs! 58/419.1 Chahal bags Badoni, and that will be that for a brilliant innings! Low full toss just outside off. Badoni, ambitiously, looks for the reverse but gets into an awkward tangle. The ball skews off the leading edge and Arshdeep does the rest at short third. Chahal finally gets himself on the board, and LSG will not be able to celebrate more Badoni boundaries tonight! 188/79.5 Omarzai has another, and LSG's freefall continues! Back of a length delivery angled across the batter outside off. Miller throws the kitchen sink at it but ends up slicing it too much. That brings deep point into play and Shashank, like he did for the Pant dismissal, makes absolutely no mistake. LSG slide further into trouble, and PBKS can sense their seventh win of the season now! 73/516.4 straight back at Jansen, and those bucket hands clasp around it! Hard length just outside off. Samad opens up his stance and hacks it towards the bowler. Jansen reacts in time and gets his hands in the right place, and once that happens, he usually makes the ball stick. Might have been a slower one which deceived Samad, adn he has to walk back after a 24-ball 45, which has certainly reduced the margin of defeat for LSG! 154/6Extras12 (lb 3, w 9)TOTAL199/7 (20 Overs, RR: 9.95)Fall of wickets: 1-15 (Mitchell Marsh, 2.2 ov), 2-16 (Aiden Markram, 2.5 ov), 3-27 (Nicholas Pooran, 4.2 ov), 4-58 (Rishabh Pant, 7.5 ov), 5-73 (David Miller, 9.5 ov), 6-154 (Abdul Samad, 16.4 ov), 7-188 (Ayush Badoni, 19.1 ov)
