Mohsin Khan to Jonny Bairstow
Oh, that should have been curtains for Shikhar Dhawan but Mohsin Khan misses from close range. Back of a length and over the stumps, Jonny Bairstow drops the ball just on the leg side and Dhawan calls him for the single. Khan is very quick to get to the ball but with all three stumps to aim at, he misses the direct hit and Dhawan can breathe a lot easier.

M. Siddharth to Shikhar Dhawan
SIX! Pre-meditated but effective as well! Flatter one on the stump and angled in, Shikhar Dhawan brings out the reverse sweep and gets enough on it to carry it over the third man fence for a maximum. 16 off that over and that is the 150th maximum hit by Dhawan in the competition's history!

Strategic break! This has been a blistering start for Punjab as they are going just slightly over the required rate and didn't lose any wickets in the Powerplay either. Shikhar Dhawan has rocketed into the 40s and will be key for his side. Lucknow need wickets in the middle phase and will be hoping that their spinners deliver. Let's see how the next phase pans out. With that said, Krunal Pandya comes into the attack.

Strategic break! What a turnaround this has been from Lucknow and debutant Mayank Yadav has single-handedly turned the tide in their favour. Punjab were going great guns with both their openers out in the middle but have now lost three wickets and Shikhar Dhawan is left reeling at one end. With 61 still needed off 26 balls and Liam Livingstone a huge doubt to feature in this chase, Lucknow do have the edge. Can Dhawan conjure up something magical for his side? Let's find out. With that said, Liam Livingstone walks out to the middle, pretty surprising to see but positive for Punjab.

Wow, the first delivery of the final over has been smashed into the spider cam by Liam Livingstone and that seemed to be heading for a maximum but it will be called a dea ball, very unlucky for Liam.

Right then, that is it from this game and after we saw Bengaluru become the first team to lose a home match this season, it seems like the trend of the home team winning the match is back. Next up is a doubleheader Sunday with two electrifying matches lined up. First up, Gujarat take on Hyderabad in Ahmedabad and that game will begin at 3.30 pm IST (10 am GMT). This will be followed by a clash between Delhi and Chennai in Visakhapatnam starting at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). You can join us a lot sooner for the build-up of both those games. Till then, take care and goodbye!

FOUR! A bit streaky but Shikhar Dhawan and Punjab are finally off the mark. Full and outside off, almost like an outswinger, Dhawan looks to drive and opens the bat face a bit to guide it uppishly wide of backward point for a boundary.

A single to end and five runs come off the first over of the chase. Well short over middle and turning in, Shikhar Dhawan uses the depth of the crease and works it away past square leg for one.
