Lucknow Super Giants vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, 61st Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Nitish Reddy to Akash Deep, SIX, Akash Deep takes Lucknow Super Giants past 200. This was the slower ball, but right in the slot and Akash Deep was ready, he gets under the ball and smokes it well over long-on

Nitish Reddy to Abdul Samad, out Bowled!! Dragged on! Nitish has a wicket to his name. Fullish delivery around off, Samad shuffles across and tries to swing down the ground, gets a thick inside edge and the ball crashes into the stumps. All that hara-kiri to get on strike does not work out for Samad. Abdul Samad b Nitish Reddy 3(6)

Nitish Reddy to Thakur, wide, out Thakur Run Out!! Another run-out as Samad tries to steal a bye. Slower ball outside off, Thakur swings and cannot quite reach it, Ishan Kishan under arms the throw and this time he is not on target, but Nitish collects the ball and hits the stumps at the bowler's end with Shardul well short of the crease. Shardul was not ready for the single and was late to set off. Thakur run out (Ishan Kishan/Nitish Reddy) 4(1) [4s-1]

Nitish Reddy to Thakur, FOUR, neatly done! Shardul is no mug with the bat. He is smart too. Spotted fine leg was square and decided to play the lap. He shuffles a long way and manages to get enough bat for the ball to race away

Nitish Reddy to Abdul Samad, out Pooran Run Out!! Huge moment in the game. Pooran goes with 3 balls left. He tried to sneak in a bye to get on strike but Ishan Kishan hits the bullseye. Slower ball outside off, Samad swings and misses, Pooran calls for the single and perishes in the process. Excellent work by Kishan to under-arm the ball and hit the target. How much will that cost Lucknow? Pooran run out (Ishan Kishan) 45(26) [4s-6 6s-1]

Nitish Reddy to Pooran, SIX, that's his first six of the night. It has taken him a while but he's got it at the right time. Angled in from round the wicket and it was right in the arc, Pooran heaves it towards deep square leg and sends it sailing for a 93-meter six

Harshal Patel to Pooran, FOUR, this is ordinary bowling. Both short fine and square leg inside the ring, what does Harshal do? He drifts onto the pads, easy pickings for Pooran as he flicks it right between those two fielders

Harshal Patel to Abdul Samad, no run, appeal for caught behind. Both Harshal and Ishan Kishan were not confident. But Cummins has still gone for it. The ball seems to have missed everything. Slower short ball, Samad is through the pull early and does not make contact. UltraEdge shows a flat line as the ball passes Samad. Both reviews lost in this over

Harshal Patel to Pooran, no ball, FOUR, really poor from Harshal. He goes for the slower yorker and does not execute it right, sprays it well over the waist and the line is outside off, Pooran reaches and toe-ends the slap straight of short third

Eshan Malinga to Ayush Badoni, out Caught by Nitish Reddy!! This is good bowling. Malinga is bowling to his field and executing the plan. He goes full and wide with this delivery, Badoni had to reach for the loft and he toe-ends it towards sweeper cover, Nitish runs in and takes a good low catch. 14 balls left and Lucknow Super Giants still need 31 to reach 200. Can they get there? Ayush Badoni c Nitish Reddy b Eshan Malinga 3(5)

Cummins to Pooran, FOUR, this time Pooran gets under the full delivery, he goes up and over with the drive, clears mid-off comfortably and almost sends it the distance, just short of the boundary rope

Harshal Patel to Markram, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! This too we have seen many times - batters completely foxed by Harshal's slower ball. This was perfectly executed. Markram survived a couple off Malinga but not this time. This was the dipping slower ball, lands close to the yorker length and Markram is through the shot early, the ball sneaks under his bat and hits the base of the stumps. A fine knock comes to an end as he has set it up for the others. Markram b Harshal Patel 61(38) [4s-4 6s-4]

Harshal Patel to Pooran, FOUR, poor from Harshal. Strays onto the pads and is picked away easily, Pooran leans forward and flicks it uppishly backward of square

Harshal Patel to Markram, no ball, SIX, typical Harshal no-ball. We have seen this before - attempted slower ball gone wrong - ends up as a high full toss, Markram takes full advantage and pumps it well beyond the deep mid-wicket fence

Eshan Malinga to Pooran, FOUR, neatly done! Pooran showing his range. Full toss around off, he opens the bat face and guides it past backward point. Just used the pace on the ball and gave it direction

Nitish Reddy to Pooran, FOUR, streaky but effective! Nitish Reddy switches to round the wicket and bowls a very full ball outside off, Pooran tries to drive it through covers but gets an inside edge past his leg-stump and through to the fine leg fence

Nitish Reddy to Markram, 1 run, fifty for Markram, his fifth fifty of the season! He continues his good form. A gentle raise of the bat and a warm round of applause from his mates in the dugout. Was a pitched up ball on middle and leg, played with soft hands towards long-on

Eshan Malinga to Pant, out Caught&Bowled!! That's an outstanding catch from Eshan Malinga! Pant had promoted himself up the order but it hasn't worked out. It has been that kind of a season for Pant. Full delivery on middle and off, Pant leans ahead a touch and is early into the stroke. Ends up chipping it to the left of Eshan Malinga. He moves across and leaps to grab it with his left hand before tumbling down. Sharp reflexes from the Sri Lankan pacer to get the better of the LSG skipper. Pant c and b Eshan Malinga 7(6) [4s-1]

Eshan Malinga to Pant, FOUR, this shot will give Pant some confidence! A shortish delivery on middle and off, Pant pulls it over backward square leg for a boundary. Not very convincing the way he played it but still effective

Harsh Dubey to Mitchell Marsh, out Caught by Eshan Malinga!! Harsh Dubey gets his maiden IPL wicket and he is all smiles! A smart piece of bowling from Dubey to get rid of the well-set Mitchell Marsh. On a length on off, Mitchell Marsh stays leg-side of it and tries to go inside out over extra cover but ends up slciing it towards short third. Malinga moves to his right and dives to take it with both hands. A brilliant knock from Mitchell Marsh nonetheless. Mitchell Marsh c Eshan Malinga b Harsh Dubey 65(39) [4s-6 6s-4]

Harsh Dubey to Markram, SIX, the runs continue to flow! Floated delivery in the arc, Markram leans ahead and smashes it over long-on for another maximum. That hit the sweet spot of the bat

Harshal Patel to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR, hit with authority! A slower back of a length ball around off, Mitchell Marsh hacks it through mid-wicket. Kamindu Mendis in the deep dives to his right but has no chance to stop it

Harshal Patel to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR, edged but safe! Pitched up well outside off, Mitchell Marsh chases it as he tries to hit it over covers but gets a thick outside edge. Ishan Kishan leaps to his right and gets a glove to it but it bursts through. Would go down on as a dropped chance. Ishan Kishan was a bit late on it but it wasn't that easy a chance

Zeeshan Ansari to Mitchell Marsh, 1 run, quicker and flatter in line of the stumps, Mitchell Marsh looks to punch and gets it off the inner half through mid-on. 100 up for LSG

Zeeshan Ansari to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR, that would have been an outstanding catch if Reddy took it! On the shorter side, Mitchell Marsh pulls it hard towards deep mid-wicket. Reddy moves across to his right and dives full length but it just evades him and goes past him

Harsh Dubey to Mitchell Marsh, 1 run, fifty for Mitchell Marsh! He raises his bat and soaks in all the applause. He has looked on song from the word-go and has carried on nicely. Was on a length on leg-stump, punched through mid-on

Harsh Dubey to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR, floated delivery outside off, Mitchell Marsh opens his bat-face and carves it over cover-point nicely to pick up another boundary

Zeeshan Ansari to Markram, SIX, going, going and gone! Slightly short on off, Markram gets into a good position and flat-bats it over long-on for a maximum. It takes some really good skills to hit a shot like that with a straight bat and off the back foot

Eshan Malinga to Markram, FOUR, sublime! Slightly full around off, Markram leans into it and creams the drive through covers for a gorgeous boundary. The timing was on point there

Eshan Malinga to Mitchell Marsh, SIX, welcome to the attack, Mr. Eshan Malinga! A shortish delivery slanting towards the hips, Mitchell Marsh picks the length up in a jiffy and nails the pull over deep backward square leg for a flat maximum. He is in some mood tonight

Harshal Patel to Markram, FOUR, runs flowing for LSG! A short of length ball and room on offer, Markram gets on top of the bounce, opens his bat-face and cuts it past the right side of the diving backward point fielder to pick up another boundary

Harshal Patel to Mitchell Marsh, SIX, what a shot! 132.6kph short of length ball and width on offer, Mitchell Marsh reaches out and upper cuts it over deep extra cover for a maximum. Generated a lot of power on his bat swing there

Harsh Dubey to Markram, FOUR, full ball in the arc and drifting in on leg-stump, bread and butter stuff for Markram as he shows the full face of the bat and hits it over mid-on to get the desired result. 17 runs off the over

Harsh Dubey to Markram, SIX, hit with authority! Floated full ball on off, Markram stays leg-side of it and lifts it nonchalantly over the bowler's head for a maximum. Played that with a lot of class

Harsh Dubey to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR, on a length and sliding in on middle and leg, Mitchell Marsh clears his front leg and heaves it off the inner half. He is a powerful man and has got enough on it to beat deep mid-wicket to his left to pick up a boundary

Cummins to Markram, FOUR, shot! 144kph fractionally overpitched delivery on middle and off, Markram leans ahead and drives it beautifully past the right side of mid-off to get the desired result

Harsh Dubey to Mitchell Marsh, SIX, hammered! In the arc outside off, Mitchell Marsh clears his front leg and brings his long levers into play. He smashes it over long-on for a maximum

Cummins to Mitchell Marsh, SIX, boom goes Mitchell Marsh! A shortish delivery that only rises around waist height for Mitchell Marsh. He gets into a good position and pulls it with aplomb off the front foot over deep mid-wicket for a 80m maximum

Cummins to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR, Mitchell Marsh gets off the mark in style! Slightly short and width on offer, Mitchell Marsh frees his arms and upper cuts it over point for a one-bounce boundary
