- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.3 whipped straight to deep square leg, and the chit comes out again! Back of a length on the pads, and this is there to be put away. Samson, though, has a half-hearted pop at it. Not enough of a flourish or follow-through either, and Samson could not have picked out Mukul better. Akash points to his head while also showing the chit, and LSG are applying the squeeze now! 36/23.5 clothed tamely to mid on, and Akash has something to show for his early toil! Hard length just outside off and this skids through. Gaikwad looks for the pull but is late on the stroke because of the extra pace and bounce. Off the splice and mid on does the rest. Akash brings out a celebratory chit too (although not sure what was on it) and Gaikwad departs early again! 31/17.2 swatted straight to deep mid wicket, and the chit makes its third appearance! Banged in short outside off and this sits up, which makes Urvil's eyes light up. Urvil gets decent purchase on the pull but does not muster the elevation or the requisite direction. Straight to Marsh, and Akash is having a field day, as is the chit in his pocket! 52/315.6 shanked a touch, and Shahbaz has the last laugh! Speared in full on leg, and this keeps on coming with the angle. Kartik cannot quite get under it fully and arrows it flat to Markram at long on. Kartik throws his head back in disappointment, and LSG will breathe a sigh of relief! 142/514.4 goes straight up, and Brevis bites the dust! Shortish just outside off and this rears up ever so slightly. Gets big on Brevis as he swipes at it and he only gets height on it. No distance at all and Akash, circling under it at short fine leg, makes no mistake. Big, big wicket for LSG, given how Brevis had begun striking the ball! 122/4Extras7 (w 7)TOTAL187/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.35)Fall of wickets: 1-31 (Ruturaj Gaikwad, 3.5 ov), 2-36 (Sanju Samson, 5.3 ov), 3-52 (Urvil Patel, 7.2 ov), 4-122 (Dewald Brevis, 14.4 ov), 5-142 (Kartik Sharma, 15.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.5 Fingertip run-out at the non-striker's! Marsh not even in the picture. He took a couple of steps forward as Pooran drove the 138ks full ball down the ground. It would've hit the stumps even if Choudhary hadn't touched it. Hit only the little finger. In the end, he didn't change the ball's direction much. No century for Marsh, unfortunate 135/211.4 Whiplash... wicket! Inglis went hard for the cut, may have played it a touch too early. Ends up slicing it to deep point. Offcutter into the pitch outside off. 135/113.2 Through him this time. "Come on" yells Johnson as Pant sits and walks from the dugout. Not too dissimilar a length than the last ball, a touch shorter if at all. Pace goes up from 133 to 143kph. It looked to have seamed in a bit and Samad went for a flick with a closed face. Left quite a gap that the ball breached, middle stump left flat on the ground 144/3Extras10 (b 1, lb 6, w 3)TOTAL188/3 (16.4 Overs, RR: 11.28)Fall of wickets: 1-135 (Josh Inglis, 11.4 ov), 2-135 (Mitchell Marsh, 11.5 ov), 3-144 (Abdul Samad, 13.2 ov)

Both Anshul Kamboj and Prince Yadav, contenders for the Purple Cap, went wicketless - and were expensive - in the LSG vs CSK game

Stepping out to step up - Mitch Marsh is forcing bowlers into errors
Mitch Marsh is less certain on slower, grippier pitches, but this Lucknow pitch wasn't like that, and he took full toll with a 38-ball 90 to give LSG a rare victory in IPL 2026
Why didn't Pant come out to bat in LSG's chase?
