Washington Sundar to KL Rahul, Goes fuller on off. Rahul slog-sweeps it to deep mid-wicket for a single.

Washington Sundar to KL Rahul, SIX! Giving 17th over to the spinner was always a gamble and Rahul is taking on Sundar here! Sundar fires it quicker but shorter on off. Rahul hangs back and deposits it over deep mid-wicket fence.

Washington Sundar (3-0-11-2) comes back in to finish his spell.

Washington Sundar to KL Rahul, FOUR! Rahul starts the over with a boundary! On the shorter side on middle. Rahul pulls it to deep backward square leg for a boundary.

Romario Shepherd to Ayush Badoni, Hits the length hard again, on off. Ayush Badoni blocks it out.

Romario Shepherd to Ayush Badoni, On a length, on middle. Ayush Badoni works it to mid-wicket.

Romario Shepherd to Ayush Badoni, FOUR! That will be the first boundary for Ayush Badoni today! It is full and outside off. Ayush Badoni creams it through cover-point. Abdul Samad runs to his left and dives to stop it but his body touches the ropes as he tries to stop the ball. 

Romario Shepherd to KL Rahul, Fifty for KL Rahul! Another captain's knock from him, his team needed him to drop anchor and he has done it perfectly. A short ball, around off. Rahul pulls it to deep mid-wicket for a single.

Ayush Badoni is in next for Lucknow.

Romario Shepherd to Ayush Badoni, Lands on a length, around off. Ayush Badoni opens the face of his blade and steers it towards third man for a single. He is off the mark.

Romario Shepherd to Deepak Hooda, OUT! CAUGHT! So Romario Shepherd comes back into the attack and gets rid of dangerous Deepak Hooda! End of a very fine knock from Deepak Hooda! It is on the shorter side on off. Hooda makes room and looks to launch it over deep mid-wicket. However, he fails to get enough distance and probaly it hits the bottom of his blade. The ball goes straight to Rahul Tripathi there and he takes a good catch. Can Hyderabad now restrict the scoring rate?

T Natarajan to Deepak Hooda, Excellent over from T Natarajan, just six singles off it. Natrajan sees Hooda walking towards him and spears one in at the toes. Hooda jams it out towards long on for a run.

T Natarajan to KL Rahul, Full and on off, Rahul can only push it towards mid off for yet another single.

T Natarajan to Deepak Hooda, Fifty for Deepak Hooda and what an important knock this has been for his side! Full and on middle, Hooda works it towards wide long on for one more. He will now look to up the ante a bit more.

T Natarajan to KL Rahul, Length again, on middle and hit on the bounce towards long on for a single.

DRINKS! Lucknow have made a strong comeback after losing three early wickets and now have a platform to launch in the final six overs. KL Rahul has gone about his business in his usual clinical way but it has been the innings of Deepak Hooda that has provided them the impetus here. Hyderabad, will feel they have missed out on an opportunity to restrict Lucknow to a low total here but still a good performance at the death will help them restrict Lucknow to a chaseable total. T Natarajan (2-0-13-0) is back on.

T Natarajan to Deepak Hooda, In the air...safe! Deepak Hooda had his heart in his mouth for a moment but survives. It's the off cutter from Natarajan, bowled on a good length and angled across the batter. Hooda gets taken aback and ends up getting a top edge around the cover region. Bhuvneshwar Kumar tries to get to it from point but isn't able to. Single taken.

T Natarajan to KL Rahul, Leg bye! Stifled appeal from T Natarajan but pitching outside leg it seems. Fuller and around leg, Rahul misses the flick. The ball goes off the pads and towards covers. The batters get a leg bye and the replay confirms that it was indeed outside leg.
