It goes off the leading edge wide of the bowler, where Arjun stretches his left hand but the ball just goes past him. They cross.

Strategic Break! Finally, something to cheer for the Lucknow fans, but it looks like the game has slipped away from LSG, unless something extraordinary happens. The partnership between Shreyas Iyer and Prabhsimran Singh has made the difference in this game. Punjab can now even try to finish things off early to make the NRR even better, if it comes down to that. Suryansh Shedge is the next man in. Also, Mohammad Shami comes back into the attack.

Prabhsimran Singh shuffles across and looks to flick it, but gets beaten as the ball under his blade and hits his shoes. A loud appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Prabhsimran Singh does not review this one. He walks back after a fine knock. Punjab Kings are 162/3, and they now need 35 runs in 30 balls.

Is that a clean catch? Prabhsimran Singh has been asked to wait by the umpires, but Ayush Badoni seems confident here. After watching the replays from different angles, the third umpire deems that the fingers are not underneath the ball. Another life for Singh.

4 Overs11.5 Score123 - 2 Mohsin Khan to Prabhsimran Singh, FOUR! In the gap! Off-cutter, on a back of a good length. Prabhsimran Singh waits on it the back foot and hammers the pull through mid-wicket. Arjun Tendulkar covers good ground to his left in the deep and dives. He gets a hand on it but it is not enough.
