On a controlled line and length full and just around off with some pace off. Rahul Tewatia swings across the line and is a bit early to do solooking to whip it over the leg side.

Avesh Khan to Shubman GillOUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! CAUGHT! Full marks to Abdul Samad for a sensational catch! Avesh Khan provides a big big breakthrough for his side as the GT skipper departs now! Avesh bowls a fuller one keeping the line of attack around the off stump. Shubman Gill prods forward to launch it over long off but the ball is a bit too full and he doesn't quite get his bat underneath the ball. Hence does not generate enough power and ends up slicing it wide of long off. Abdul Samad runs forward and a bit to his left. The ball dips ahead of him but he takes a fabulous sliding catch with a dive. Shubman Gill departs on 35 off 20 and Gujarat Titans are now 85/2with both prolific openers back into the dugout now.

Right then, that is it from this run-fest where Lucknow Super Giants gets the better of Gujarat Titans for the second time this season. The action now moves to Lucknow, where Royal Challengers Bengaluru will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Ekana Stadium on Friday, 23rd May. But as you know, you can always join us early for all the build-up to the match. Until then, cheers and goodbye!
Sai Kishore comes out to the middle now.
Kagiso Rabada walks out to bat now.
Rashid Khan is the next man in. Also, Avesh Khan to bowl the penultimate over.
Arshad Khan comes out to the middle now.
Rahul Tewatia walks out to bat now.
Will O'Rourke (3-0-1-23) comes back into the attack. Also, Aiden Markram is off the field with a hamstring injury.
STRATEGIC BREAK. Gujarat Titans were under immense pressure with their top three back in the hut inside ten overs. However, after a rebuilding phase, Shahrukh Khan and Sherfane Rutherford have kept the flame of the chase ignited. Lucknow Super Giants' bowlers have certainly missed to hit the right lines and lengths in the last few overs and have taken the tour of the park, conceding 43 runs in the last three overs. Still, it is an uphill task for Gujarat Titans as they need 71 off the last 5 overs, and they just cannot release their foot off the accelerator here. Lucknow Super Giants need wickets here. But who will be the one to break this stand? Buckle up, folks, this is on a knife's edge, and anyone's game to win.
Avesh Khan (1.5-0-29-1) is brought back for another spell. He replaces Akash Deep.
Shahbaz Ahamad (1-0-8-0) returns into the attack, replacing Will O'Rourke.
Akash Deep is back on. He is 2-0-17-0 so far, and replaces Akash Singh.
A bit of a halt! Sherfane Rutherford and Will O'Rourke collided midway through the pitch, while the former was off to complete the single. He is being helped with some fluids. Good to continue now.
Shahrukh Khan is the next man in.
Strategic Break! Gujarat Titans have scored at a good rate, but the problem for them is that they have lost both their openers. Jos Buttler needs to play the anchor and go deep, but they also keep an eye on the asking rate. The middle order have a great chance of showing their mettle as they have not been tested enough in this season. Lucknow Super Giants know that if they manage to get a couple of wickets, they will be able to close this game out. An interesting phase of cricket awaits us. Also, Akash Singh to bowl after the break.
Sherfane Rutherford comes out to the middle now.
Time for spin as Shahbaz Ahamad comes into the attack. Also, Avesh Khan is off the field as he has also hurt his finger on the last delivery.
Halt! Akash Singh got hit on his fingers on the follow-through, and his right hand is bleeding a lot. The physio is in to wipe off that blood with a towel and some water. Uh..oh! It looks like he will not be able to continue and is going off the field. Avesh Khan to finish this over.
Jos Buttler is in at 3 for the Titans.
Just before the fourth ball of the previous over, as per the on-air commentators, the onfield umpire informed GT skipper Shubman Gill that the DRS is not available at the moment.
Akash Deep to operate from the far end.
