STRATEGIC BREAK. Despite losing two early wickets, this has been a rock-solid start for Punjab Kings. Prabhsimran Singh has kept on the offensive from one end nicely, while Shreyas Iyer gradually gets in rhythm. The run rate is well over 10 runs per over and PBKS will look to sustain that through this middle over phase. Akash Singh has been excellent so far, picking both wickets for LSG. But, they need to bowl a few quiet overs and take a couple of quick wickets here to get back some momentum. Here's Akash Singh into the attack, and he will wrap his spell. His figures read 3-0-20-2 so far.

Digvesh Singh to Shreyas Iyer, Uppish but safe! On a dragged length and around off, turns away and gets stuck to the surface as well.
