LSG vs CSK Highlights, IPL 2022: De Kock, Lewis star as Lucknow chase down 211 for first win

Tushar Deshpande to Quinton de Kock, Outside off, de Kock waits and guides it down to third man for one.

Right then, the target is a big one but the pitch is good to bat on and we can expect a cracker of a contest if Lucknow batters get going. Chennai need to bowl well and the experince of Jadeja will be key in these wet conditions. Stay tuned for the run-chase!

Tushar Deshpande to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! De Kock gets it away! His team will hope this gets him going. Shorter and on middle, this is pulled over mid-wicket for a boundary.

Tushar Deshpande to Quinton de Kock, Finds the fielder again! Fuller and on off, this is hit hard but to mid off.

Mukesh Choudhary to Quinton de Kock, Leading edge but safe! Angled into the pads, de Kock closes the face of the bat early, it goes off a soft leading edge to cover. De Kock wants a run but is sent back.

Mukesh Choudhary to Quinton de Kock, Good lines and lengths! Length and on off, de Kock defends.

Mukesh Choudhary to KL Rahul, Rahul is off the mark! His first run of this edition! On middle, this is worked through square leg for one.

Mukesh Choudhary to KL Rahul, Good start by Mukesh Choudhary! Length and on off, Rahul gets right behind the line and defends.

We are back for the chase! Chennai players are there in the middle. KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock are the openers for Lucknow. Mukesh Choudhary will start with the ball for Chennai. Here we go...

Mukesh Choudhary to KL Rahul, A short one to begin with. Rahul wants a sighter as he leaves it alone.

Chennai had a new opening pair today, with Robin Uthappa being promoted at the top of the order and the move paid rich dividends as Robin Uthappa came out all guns blazing. The Powerplay was a fantastic one as Moeen Ali joined hands with Robin Uthappa after losing Ruturaj Gaikwad early. Both departed after some fireworks but Dube and Rayadu made sure that momentum was carried on. In the end, MS Dhoni and Jadeja gave some nice finishing touches to take Chennai to a big total here. 

...THE RUN CHASE…

Moeen Ali is down for a chat. He says it is a great wicket and he is happy to get runs on the board! States it is not going to be easy to defend with the dew but they need to bowl really well. Mentions you just need to keep going with the bat if they get a good start, there is no target with the dew and the opposition do have a good batting line-up and they need to be at their A-game.

A strong batting performance by Chennai on this very good batting strip. They started off with a bang and once they got that start, 200 was always on the cards. Lucknow have a tough task ahead of them but they have the batting arsenal and conditions are quite favourable for batting. However, they need their top order to fire today.
