Another expensive over as QDK and KL combine to fetch 14 runs from Moeen Ali's over. Meanwhile, there was an opportunity to dismiss Rahul but it was a tough chance, as the fielder runs backwards, gets there, but fails to hold onto the ball. LSG: 80/0 (8 overs)

Jadeja introduces himself in the attack and after keeping the batters quiet for the first three balls, he is hit for a six over the long-off fence by KL Rahul. 11 runs come off the over as LSG race to 66/0 after 6 overs.

Moeen Ali spills a sitter. Dwayne Bravo bowls it slightly short as De Kock plays it straight to Moeen at extra cover, who fails to hold on to it. Meanwhile, four runs come off the over. LSG: 55/0 (6 overs)

KL Rahul and De Kock are now getting in the groove as the duo combine to add a 50-plus stand in just five overs. Rahul hits Mukesh Choudhary for a four, while QDK smashes the bowler for another two. LSG: 51/0 (5 overs)

After starting on a slow note, QDK is unleashing himself. He first smashes Tushar Deshpande for a four on the off-side. Then hits a short delivery by Tushar Deshpande over the short fine leg fielder for another four. 12 runs come off the over. LSG: 36/0 (4 overs)  

Mukesh Choudhary offers some width and KL Rahul doesn't miss on it. He slices it for a six over the cover region. He then whacks it for a four as 13 runs come off the over. LSG: 24/0 (3 overs)

Tushar Deshpande comes in to bowl from the other end. He starts off with a couple of dots as QDK middles the ball but it goes straight to Moeen Ali at mid-off.

CSK batters are hitting almost everything out of the park. The over started with Jadeja hitting Chameera for a four before Dube hit a short delivery by him for a colossal six. 16 runs come from the over. CSK: 188/4 (18 overs)

Jadeja hits a four in the final ball of the over bowled by Bishnoi as 15 runs come off it. Meanwhile, Bishnoi completes his four overs, in which he scalps two wickets and concedes 24 runs. CSK: 172/4 (17 overs)

Things are not going good for Chameera as he misses a catch while fielding at short fine. It was a full toss by Krunal Pandya and Shivam Dube plays it straight to him but he fails to hold on to the ball. 

Meanwhile, Dube hits a six as 15 runs come in the over. CSK: 162-3 (16 overs)

Ambati Rayudu and Shivam Dube look for the big hits but the fielders are placed in the right place. However, Tye bowls a bit short and Rayudu dances down the track and clears the long-on fence. 11 runs come off the over as CSK race to 147/3 after 15 overs. 

Lucknow are getting back in the game as runs have dried up ever since the dismissal of Uthappa and Moeen Ali. Meanwhile, Krunal concedes six runs in the over as CSK reach 136/3 after 14 overs. Dube along with Ambati Rayudu have added 30 (23) for the fourth wicket. 

Another misfield by Chameera, almost in similar fashion, which ends up in the boundary. Meanwhile, Shivam Dube whacks a tossed up ball by Deepak Hooda for a six as 12 runs come in the over. CSK: 130/3 (13 overs)

Just what LSG wanted. Ravi Bishnoi is making things tough for the batters in the middle but ends up conceding six runs, as Chameera misfields in the deep, which ends up as a boundary. CSK: 118/3 (12 overs)

Good over by Avesh as he picks the danger wicket of Moeen Ali and concedes seven runs in his over. CSK: 112-3

Avesh Khan cleans up Moeen Ali on 35 (22) in the first ball of his third over. Bowls a bit short and Moeen tries to play it across the line. Misses the ball as it goes and knocks the stump. CSK: 106/3 (10.1 overs)

Bishnoi is creating some pressure as he gets an outside edge off Moeen Ali's bat in the first ball, which races away for a four. Seven runs come off the over as CSK edge past the 100-run-mark in 10 overs. CSK: 106/2 (10 overs) 

Shivam Dube, the new man in, joins the party as he smashes Dushmantha Chameera for consecutive fours. 12 runs come off the over as CSK race to 99/2 after 9 overs. 

Economical start by Bishnoi as he picks a wicket and concedes five runs in his first over. CSK: 87/2 (8 overs)

Ravi Bishnoi traps Robin Uthappa LBW right after he completes his half-century. The umpire was not convinced but the bowler was and LSG took a DRS. TV replay showed it was hitting the middle and leg stumps. CSK: 84/2 (7.3 overs)

9 runs come in the over by bowled by Chameera as CSK move to 82/1 after 7 overs. 

Krunal Pandya comes to bowl the final powerplay over. He starts off with a couple of single, and then is whacked for a four on the off-side by Moeen Ali. The all-rounder then hits a short delivery by Pandya over the mid-wicket fence. He finishes the over with another boundary as CSK race to 73/1 in the powerplay.

Robin Uthappa is striking the ball perfectly, almost every shot from the middle of his blade. He smashes Andrew Tye for two consecutive fours, plays a dot and then whacks him for another four. Meanwhile, there's some sloppy fielding and Uthappa and Moeen steals a double, which should have ideally been a single. 18 runs come off it as CSK edge past the 50-run mark in 5 overs. CSK: 57/1 

Moeen Ali and Robin Uthappa get things moving. Uthappa starts off the over by Avesh Khan by hitting him for a four and later in the fourth delivery Moeen hooks a short delivery for a six over the fine leg fence. 11 runs come off the over. CSK: 39/1 (4 overs)

Confusion in the middle and Ravi Bishnoi gets a direct hit. That will be the end of Ruturaj Gaikwad. He is run-out on 1 (4). Meanwhile, Andrew Tye bowls a tight over as just two runs come off it. CSK: 28/1 (3 overs)

Dushmantha Chameera bowls the second over and he too is generating extra bounce from the surface. Meanwhile, Uthappa keeps striking the ball with the middle of his bat as he flicks a pitched up delivery by the pacer over the deep backward square fence for a maximum. Uthappa ends the over with another cracking four, almost in the same region as 12 runs come off the over. CSK: 26/0 (2 overs)

Uthappa starts off with a boundary as Avesh Khan pitches it up and bowls right at his pads. Easy pickings for the batter as he flicks it for a boundary on the leg-side. Same result in the second ball as Avesh pitches it short, but Uthappa punches it square of the wicket and in the gap for another four. Avesh finishes the over with a short delivery, which goes past everyone for another boundary. 14 runs come off the first over.  

The umpires have walked out in the centre. LSG players form a huddle as Ruturaj Gaikwad and Robin Uthappa will open the innings for CSK. 

10 minutes remain for high octane clash between Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants. CSK will be batting first, so what could be the ideal first innings total on this surface?
