PBKS vs LSG Highlights: Punjab Kings beat Lucknow Super Giants by 37 runs

Prince Yadav to Prabhsimran Singh, SIX! Just eluded the grasp of Nicholas Pooran in the deep! Short and with a lot of venom in it, on off, Prabhsimran Singh goes deep in the crease and pulls it over deep mid-wicket. Just for a moment, Nicholas Pooran looks in the game to catch, but he has to leap and the ball just sails over him for a six.

Prince Yadav to Shashank Singh, Off the mark right away, is Shashank! Another tailing yorker, on middle, Shashank Singh digs it out to short mid-wicket for a single.

Strategic Break! A timely wicket for Lucknow, but Punjab seem to be heading towards a big finish. Prabhsimran Singh has been out there from the start and with the likes of Marcus Stoinis, Azmatullah Omarzai and Shashank Singh all still to come, PBKS will be targeting somewhere around the 210 mark. LSG can stem the flow of runs by taking wickets, but forcing it too much could go against them. A crucial final few overs of the first innings coming up. With that said, Shashank Singh walks out to bat now.

Prince Yadav to Nehal Wadhera, OUT! CASTLED! A ripper of a delivery from Prince to dismiss Nehal Wadhera! He nails the yorker in, on the leg stump line, Nehal Wadhera crouches low, gets a bit too across to play the lap shot, but does not get any bat on it. The ball is a bit too full to execute that shot. It lands on the base of the leg stump, skids and zips into the wickets, uprooting the leg stump. The 34-run stand for the fourth wicket is broken as Nehal Wadhera departs for 16 (9) and Punjab Kings are 162/4.
