- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.5 finally a breakthrough for GT and something to scream about for the packed stands! Markram tried to replicate what Marsh did, trying to go for a straight six, but he loses shape a little, doesn't get under it that well and finds long-off right at the edge of the rope. Nicely taken by Shahrukh Khan 91/118.2 High ball, Rutherford runs in from deep-backward point and takes a good catch diving forward. Was a length ball that landed around sixth and finished near the off-stump tramline. Marsh went slightly across and tried to launch it over cover, got it off the bottom of the bat. Ends a brilliant 117 with a lot of power-hitting 212/2Extras10 (b 1, lb 2, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL235/2 (20 Overs, RR: 11.75)Fall of wickets: 1-91 (Aiden Markram, 9.5 ov), 2-212 (Mitchell Marsh, 18.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.3 chipped to mid off, a sharp catch by Markram and GT's opening stand has been broken! Change of pace, change of length, pitched up on off and Sai Sudharsan drives down the ground but he can't keep it down. Even though the ball is dipping on Markram, he does well to dive forward and get his hands under it nicely 46/17.6 they've got Gill as well, LSG have sent both GT openers back! Avesh roars and roars, and then pierces the humid air of Ahmedabad with clenched fists. It was pitched up, Gill went down the ground with a straight loft but didn't middled it. It could have even landed short of long off, but Abdul Samad sprinted in and put in a forward dive with perfect timing to gobble it 85/29.3 that's the big wickets LSG wanted and an injured Akash Singh has bowled a beauty! A slower inswinger from wide of the crease, it keeps shaping in and goes right through Buttler's push down the ground to knock the stumps over. Akash gives the signature celebration, not quite a send off, and with a smile, unlike Digvesh Rathi who's not playing today 96/316.1 And he strikes first ball! Not a wicket ball as such, the fullish ball angled in towards leg stump from around the wicket. Rutherford was early into the aerial flick, got it right off the toe, Bishnoi came in from deep midwicket to complete the catch 182/418.5 Taken at cover and that has to be the game! Avesh continues to go for yorkers, it was a low full toss with the seam pointing towards leg slip. Shahrukh got low and tried to brook it across the line but toed it straight up. He walks back despondent 197/716.6 O'Rourke might let LSG get away with being a bowler short. Gets Tewatia cheaply with a seam-up length ball on off. Angled in from around the wicket. Tewatia tried to lift it through the line, was too early into it and playing on the up too. Found long-on. Four runs and two wickets 186/517.6 Watch out for the collision... O'Rourke evades the fielder at point safely. Gets in front and takes the dolly around his chest. Was a wide ball on a shortish length that Arshad tried to drag leg side again. Bottom hand came off as he top-edged the pull 193/619.3 Hirs middle and leg. Fullish ball angled in from wide of the crease. Around the wicket too. Rabada tries to slog it over cow corner, misses 200/819.6 Another lefty beaten on the slog sweep. Loopy length ball lands on middle and hits leg to complete a 33-run win for LSG against the table-toppers! 202/9Extras8 (lb 1, w 7)TOTAL202/9 (20 Overs, RR: 10.1)Fall of wickets: 1-46 (Sai Sudharsan, 4.3 ov), 2-85 (Shubman Gill, 7.6 ov), 3-96 (Jos Buttler, 9.3 ov), 4-182 (Sherfane Rutherford, 16.1 ov), 5-186 (Rahul Tewatia, 16.6 ov), 6-193 (Arshad Khan, 17.6 ov), 7-197 (M Shahrukh Khan, 18.5 ov), 8-200 (Kagiso Rabada, 19.3 ov), 9-202 (Sai Kishore, 19.6 ov)
