Out! Finally a breakthrough and it is the much needed wicket of Prabhsimran Singh. Smacks Digvesh Rathi for a big shot and almost clears the rope. Ayush Badoni leaps in the air to grab the ball and then times the throw inside which was again taken in a diving action by Ravi Bishnoi. Brilliant catch and LSG have a small window here. Prabhsimran c Ravi Bishnoi b Digvesh Rathi 69(34).

Prabhsimran Singh has absolutely demolished the LSG bowling attack and powered PBKS infront in the game. They are now well set for a victory and should be a cruise over the finishing line from where they are. Shreyas Iyer has been holding one end. 

Prabhsimran Singh gets his first half-century of the season. The LSG attack was there for his liking and he did no mistake to plunder them for runs. Specially took a liking for Ravi Bishnoi and dismantled him to power-charge his innings. Got to his half-century in just 23 balls. 

Out! Rishabh Pant's move worked. He took the risk of bowling Digvesh Rathi to Priyansh Arya and Rathi got the better of the southpaw. Mistimed a big shot high in the air, couldn't clear the cycle. LSG get one back. Priyansh Arya c Thakur b Digvesh Rathi 8(9).

Fantastic final over from Arshdeep Singh and it comes on the back of a very good over from Marco Jansen. The two overs mean PBKS restrict LSG to a decent score and they will be happy despite the pitch having some spice. LSG would feel they have left runs out there but will now need to bowl well to make it a tough chase. 

Out! Ayush Badoni doesn't get the finish he wanted. It was a slower bouncer from Arshdeep Singh and he tried to muscle it, but didn't get the required distance. Big wicket for Punjab Kings. Ayush Badoni c Maxwell b Arshdeep Singh 41(33).

Out! David Miller departs without exploding much. Marco Jansen troubled him with his bounce and seam movement and David Miller ended up getting an outside edge to the hands of the wicketkeeper. LSG are still lacking the push they need in the end overs. Miller c Prabhsimran b Marco Jansen 19(18).

David Miller and Ayush Badoni have tried to stitch a partnership in the middle overs stabilising the innings after the early fall of wickets, but they have started to tee off now, specially David Miller being the one leading charge. He took on Glenn Maxwell, hitting a few boundaries and boosting the run rate. 

Out! Nicholas Pooran departs and it is done by none other than Yuzvendra Chahal. Was going wide to evade the arc of Nicholas Pooran and this time tried a slider, which made Pooran to reach out and mistime. It ended up being an easy catch in the deep. PBKS back in the game. Pooran c Maxwell b Chahal 44(30).

Nicholas Pooran started slow when wickets were falling in the other end but he picked up pace quickly and launched a counter-attack on the PBKS bowlers. He is now pushing the scoring rate and PBKS are under pressure now. 

Out! The matchup offspinner worked for Punjab Kings. Seeing two left handers on the crease, Shreyas Iyer brought Glenn Maxwell to the attack and he struck immediately. Short pitched ball on the legside and Pant is slow to rotate his torso getting a miscued connection to the short fine leg fielder. PBKS on top here. Pant c Chahal b Maxwell 2(5).

Out! Aiden Markram falls after a strong and impactful innings. He was taking apart Lockie Ferguson but the latter got his ball to seam off the deck a little and it stuck a bit too. Markram was through with his shot and the ball hit the inside edge of the bat to crash on to the stumps. Good comeback from PBKS. Markram b Ferguson 28(18).

Despite the early wicket in the first over. Aiden Markram has taken his time to settle in and change the course of the attack. His boundaries have provided some momentum to the LSG innings and they will look to make the remainder of the powerplay big. 

Out! Conditions play Mitchell Marsh. Arshdeep Singh's delivery pitches. holds a bit and then seams away. Marsh was already through with the shot and the ball gently scoops to Marco Jansen at third man. Early strike from PBKS. Mitchell Marsh c Marco Jansen b Arshdeep Singh 0(1).
