LSG win, CSK pay

This is the second instance of CSK allowing their opponents to chase down a 210+ target in IPL history. It is the fourth biggest chase in IPL history. Absence of Deepak Chahar, unproven youngsters and dew all played into Lucknow's hands even against a seemingly steep target. KL Rahul, Quinton de Kock provided a perfect launchpad and Evin Lewis with the late flourish. Pity it means Robin Uthappa's knock goes in vain. LSG pick up their first win of the season while CSK are 0-2 after two matches

23:37 (IST)

LSG win by 6 wickets

Lucknow Super Giants chase down the 211 run target with 3 balls to spare and win by 6 wickets over Chennai Super Kings. Evin Lewis remains unbeaten on 55 runs from 23 balls

23:34 (IST)

After two wasteful wides, Badoni slaps this one over backward square for a six. One more to get...

23:32 (IST)

SIX MORE! 25 in the over and Lewis has turned this around. How CSK must be regretting this bowling decision. Played inside out over long and that's a six. It brings up a 23 ball fifty for Lewis

23:31 (IST)

Two in a row now for Lewis and LSG! This one is full of pace, pitched up and in the slot for Lewis to clobber it down the field

23:29 (IST)

Evin Lewis smacks a four after collecting a double on the previous ball. Pitched up, slower one, or lacking pace and it has been thrashed away

23:26 (IST)

Bold move in the CSK camp. Shivam Dube is brought in to bowl the penultimate over and first ball he's thrashed away for a six. Badoni gets down on one knee and has lumped it over square leg. He clobbers a fan in the stands in the process

23:18 (IST)

GONE!

Slower one from Bravo, it is a low full toss and it has been launched into the leg side. Jadeja is a safe pair of hands on the boundary rope as Hooda walks back

Hooda c Jadeja b Bravo 13 (8), LSG are 171/4

23:17 (IST)

SIX!

Now Hooda gets in on the maximum hitting act. Sliced away but there's plenty of pace on the ball to carry it over the sightscreen

23:15 (IST)

SIX!

Evin Lewis smacks it over long off for a powerful and meaty hit! Lewis waited for that one from Pretorious and he's made it count

22:07 (IST)

DROPPED!

That was poor fielding effort from Moeen Ali. Dwayne Bravo got Quinton de Kock to drive, on the up, and it has been let go by Moeen at mid-off. That is routine at this level. How much will CSK have to pay for that?

22:05 (IST)

After 5 overs,Lucknow Super Giants 51/0 ( KL Rahul (C) 18 , Quinton de Kock (W) 28)

LSG are off to a flier in this 211 run chase. De Kock on to 28 (17) and KL Rahul on to 18 (13) as Lucknow move along to 51/0 from 5 overs

21:19 (IST)

21:17 (IST)

LSG vs CSK Live Cricket Score Online: Banged in short by Avesh Khan and MS Dhoni doesn't take time to get going. THRASHED over extra cover and this has gone the distance. Into the stands she goes!

21:10 (IST)

GONE!

Shivam Dube was hitting the ball well and cleanly. He wanted to continue that flow of runs but perishes instead. It goes high but doesn't have the distance to clear the boundary rope. Avesh Khan strikes and Lewis completes the catch. Avesh pats Dube's back as he walks back

Dube c Lewis b Khan 49 (30), CSK are 189/5 from 18.2 overs

21:07 (IST)

LSG vs CSK Live Cricket Score Online: Consecutive boundaries for skipper Ravindra Jadeja. Having collected four off the last ball of the Bishnoi over, he adds four more from this Chameera delivery. Short and perfect timing! Pulled in front of square for a boundary

GONE!

BOWLED! Rayudu got away with a heave on the previous ball, collecting four leg byes, but this time the swipe misses completely. Tries to thrash it to leg side but misses and Bishnoi plucks out the leg stump

20:54 (IST)

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) Live Score: DROPPED! Uh-oh! That is a miserable effort from Chameera inside the circle. Full toss from Krunal, could well have been a no ball, Dube pulls it to short backward square and this comes out of the fielder's hands. Very ordinary effort that!

20:52 (IST)

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) Live Score: Over the wicket and too much width from Krunal to Dube and it has been thrashed in front of square. Avash with a big dive but it doesn't prevent the four

20:49 (IST)

Ambati Rayudu slams it for a six! He comes down the track to a short delivery by Andrew Tye and spanks it over the wide long-on boundary. Tye can only afford a wry smile as the ball clears the fielder at the rope

20:43 (IST)

After 14 overs,Chennai Super Kings 136/3 ( Shivam Dube 30 , Ambati Rayudu 13)

At the end of 14 overs, CSK are 136/3. That early momentum has been lost just a touch but Shivam Dube doing his best to keep things going. He thrashes 12 runs from the Hooda over and 6 runs coming from this one by Krunal

20:38 (IST)

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) Live Score: THIS IS SENT INTO THE STANDS! Good length delivery and it has been powered through the line and goes into the long-off stand

20:37 (IST)

Dube rocks back and slaps this delivery from Hooda in the deep cover region for a four. A misfield doesn't help!

20:14 (IST)

OUT! 

Robin Uthappa is trapped leg before by Ravi Bishnoi and he walks back after a blazing 50 from 27 balls. Bishnoi asks KL Rahul to review this after umpire says not out. The delivery skid across and beat the edge to hit the front leg. Ball tracking says it would have hit middle and leg stump

Tata IPL 2022, LSG vs CSK, Live Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings Live update, Captains speak

KL Rahul: "Going to bowl first. At the end of the day we need to play good cricket as well. But have been watching the last few games, ball gets wet towards the end. Also this looks like a fresh wicket with some grass on it. Enjoyed the last game that we played. Boys showed good fight. Showed real character. Was pleasing for us and will take confidence from that. One change - Tye comes in, Mohsin misses out."

Ravindra Jadeja: "Would've bowled first too. Now we're batting so will look to put up a decent score. Blessed with a huge fan following. Three changes - Moeen is back, Milne has a sidestrain so going with three overseas."

Pitch report

Graeme Swann with the pitch report: "What we saw in the first match here was a bit of extra bounce troubling the batters. That's something the bowlers will look into. Wickets came off short-pitched bowling. This pitch has had a bit of water put on it since the other day. It's definitely greener. Reckon it's not quite as hard. Wouldn't be surprised if it's a good batting wicket, but the seamers but just get a little bit if they pitch it up, might just nibble off a length"
