Harshal Patel to Rishabh Pant
OUT! TAKEN! An unusaul way to get out! Harshal looks to go full but gets it all wrong. A high full toss, on middle, Pant has a swipe across the line but gets a leading edge that goes down to short third. Shami takes it around his waist, but Pant is asked to wait as the third umpire is called into action. The replays show that Pant had taken a couple of steps down the track, and the tracker is used to determine the trajectory. It comes out as a fair delivery, with the ball passing below the waist. Pant goes for a run-a-ball 15 with LSG needing 27 runs off 35 balls.

Nicholas Pooran takes a review with the hope of the ball sliding down leg. The third umpire checks the UltraEdge, which shows nothing, and the Ball Tracking shows three reds. Nicholas Pooran is gone after playing a blistering inning of 70 runs off just 26 balls.

STRATEGIC BREAK! Nicholas Pooran has been on a rampage for the Lucknow Super Giants and has put his side in firm control of the chase. SRH have had no answers to his onslaught, and they will be hoping to use this break to regroup and find a way to disrupt the momentum. The required rate has dropped to just over 7, and if Pooran continues for a few more overs, the game could be wrapped up in no time. Pat Cummins turns to Harshal Patel in search of a breakthrough.
0
Has Simarjeet Singh done enough to save the boundary? He puts in a well-timed slide to prevent the ball from touching the fence. He goes over the ropes but smartly releases the ball in time before getting back in to fire a throw. A clean effort, and he manages to save a run for his side!

Right then, that is it from this game and we now start to head into another weekend in IPL 2025 with a bang. The next game is dubbed as the 'Southern Derby' and it is a fiery fixture as Chennai Super Kings welcome Royal Challengers Bengaluru to the Chepauk Stadium in Chennai in Match number 8. That game will be played on Friday, 28 March and will begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT) but as usual, you can join us a lot sooner for the build-up. Cheers!

Abhishek Sharma to Mitchell Marsh
Off the mark right away! Begins from around the wicket and bowls the quicker one, full and drifting into leg. Mitchell Marsh pushes it gently to mid on and scampers through for a single.

Abhishek Sharma to Aiden Markram
Oh, what an effort from Pat Cummins and had that hit, it would have been an unbelievable run out. Fired in full and around off, Aiden Markram leans on and punches it to the right of short cover and sets off for the single. Cummins dives across and throws the ball whilst being down on the ground to the bowler's end but just misses.
