Lucknow vs Punjab Match Stats

FOUR! Just the start to the over Punjab would have wanted. Pitched up on leg stump, Jitesh Sharma is quick to make room and comes forward as well before drilling the straight drive to the right of long off for a boundary.

Goes full and wide now and nails the yorker-length delivery, Jitesh Sharma tries to shuffle past the off stump and squeeze it away but misses.

WIDE! Looks for the same ball again but gets it a bit too wide this time and the umpire stretches his arms.

Takes pace off the ball now and bowls it on a dragged length outside off, Jitesh Sharma has to adjust a bit and just eases it away wide of third man for a single.

No wide! Short of a length on leg stump and just angling down leg, Shikhar Dhawan takes a huge step across to the off side and looks to pull it fine but misses. Dhawan immediately reviews it for a wide but the replays roll in and the onfield decision stands.

Takes pace off and bowls it shorter again on the hips, Shikhar Dhawan pulls it away behind deep square leg but only picks up a single.

Very tidy over from Mohsin Khan given he conceded a boundary on the first ball and only 7 runs come off it. Another slower one, pitched up and outside off, Jitesh Sharma looks to shuffle across and swipe across the line but loses his shape and misses the ball.

Looks for the wide yorker and ends up bowling a low full toss outside off, Shikhar Dhawan takes a step across and opens the bat face steering the ball to deep point for a couple of runs.

OUT! CAUGHT! What a debut Mayank Yadav is having. Bangs the shorter delivery with pace on middle and off, Jitesh Sharma is hurried as he looks to pull but gets hit higher on the bat. The ball balloons in front of mid on where Naveen-ul-Haq sprints in and takes a good low catch to his front. This game has brilliantly been brought back to life by Mayank Yadav!

Hits the deck hard and angles it away from off, on a shorter length, Liam Livingstone extends his arms and carves it to deep cover for just a single. A brilliant effort from Ravi Bishnoi in the deep to push the ball that was dipping in front of him.

OUT! TAKEN! Lucknow are now well and truly ahead in the game as Mohsin Khan gets the big fish in Shikhar Dhawan. Khan bowls the shorter delivery with pace off, angling in from middle and leg, Shikhar Dhawan stays deep in the crease and looks to pull but only manages to get a glove straight to Quinton de Kock behind the stumps.

OUT! CAUGHT! Can you believe it? Another short delivery that brings a wicket! Mohsin Khan is now on a hat trick!

Doesn't get this one right! A shorter delivery on middle, Shashank Singh mistimes his pull to deep third for just a single. Oh, dear, another fielder is seen hobbling off the field.

Takes pace off and bowls it fuller and on off, Liam Livingstone whips it to deep mid-wicket for another single.

Can't find the timing right! Naveen-ul-Haq bowls it fuller and just outside off, Liam Livingstone whips it off the inner half of the bat towards deep square leg for a single. Punjab now need 48 runs off 12 balls.

WIDE! Looks for the bouncer but drops it a bit too short over middle and off, Liam Livingstone looks for the pull but the ball climbs on him as the umpire calls it a wide.

FOUR! Flat and races away! Fuller delivery outside off, Liam Livingstone takes a step closer and slashes it over cover for one bounce boundary.

SIX! Liam Livingstone turning on the heat a bit too late! Slower bouncer, on off, Liam Livingstone stands tall and slaps it over the bowler's head for a maximum.

Slower again, on a shorter length, outside off, Liam Livingstone pulls it off the lower half of the bat towards deep mid-wicket for just a single. Liam Livingstone is struggling and this could be a big concern for Punjab.
