Strategic break! Kolkata are off to a flier as they looked to go after the Lucknow bowlers from the word go. They did lose a wicket before the Powerplay ended but are well in front of the required rate. Lucknow need to take a few more quick wickets to wrench back some control or this game could go out of their hands very quickly.

Strategic break! Kolkata looked to be cruising to a win at one stage but their inning has completely collapsed as they have now lost half their side. All their hopes will now be pinned on Rinku Singh who has shown in the past that is capable of pulling off the impossible. Lucknow have clawed back into this tie and will need to keep their composure to get over the finish line and qualify for the playoffs. Shardul Thakur makes his way out to the crease.

Right then that is all we have from the coverage of this game. Lucknow have become the third team to qualify for the playoffs with this close win. The final spot is up for grabs when the action continues in the 16th edition of the Indian T20 League on Sunday 21st May as we have yet another doubleheader in store for us and it will be the final two games of the group stages. First, Mumbai take on Hyderabad at the Wankhede Stadium in the coastal city and that game will begin at 3.30 pm IST (10 am GMT). This will be followed by a clash between Bangalore and Gujarat at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). The build-up for both of these games will begin well in advance so do join us for that. Until then, goodbye and cheers!
