It has taken just the 16 balls for Travis Head to get to his fifty. It is some astonishing hitting from Head. He is just picking his spots and sending them there no matter where the ball is pitched, no matter the pace. One of the incredible ones is a back-foot off-drive off Ravi Bishnoi for a huge six over long-off. Then there is a swat down the wicket straight of mid-off off Naveen-ul-Haq. He is 58 off 18 now, has gone past 500 for the tournament, and has hit the most fours this IPL. SRH 87 for 0 in five overs. That's four times what LSG were at this point.
That's the second and third overs. Abhishek took care of Thakur in the second, Head tore into Gowtham in the third. It's 47 for 0 in three overs.
0 Number of doubles, triples or boundaries Bhuvneshwar Kumar conceded today. Only singles off him

SRH up and runningLSG open with K Gowtham and Yash Thakur expectedly, but SRH have got off to a flier. Travis Head hits Gowtham for a four followed by Abhishek Sharma taking four fours off Thakur. Quickly they have reached 25 for 0 in two overs.

Big finish for LSGAdd 19 off the last over, bowled by Pat Cummins, and LSG have had an uneaten fifth-wicket stand of 99 off 52. Badoni ends up with 55 off 30, and Pooran with 48 off 26, denied a fifty by a superb stop by Reddy off the last ball as he flicked the ball in for a four when it looked like a certain six.
This stand puts in perspective how ordinary they were before. They have got 66 in the remaining 68 balls. Two of the fastest bowlers, Natarajan and Cummins, have bowled eight overs between them for 97 runs.
SRH need 166 to win.

Badoni gets to fiftyOff just 28 balls. Ayush Badoni has kept LSG alive in this contest. He has manipulated fields and the lines of the bowlers by moving around in the crease, and has also played some orthodox shots just hard enugh to clear the field.
Unfortunately, Natarajan has also got his fifty, conceding 15 in the 19th over. LSG 146 for 4 in 19 overs.

Not Natarajan's dayT natarajan has gone for 35 runs in three overs as Ayush Badoni has moved around in the crease and managed to place him in the gaps. Badoni is not a power-hitter but a game where the seven an over might be the going rate, the pitch is right up his alley. He is 35 off 19, and the partnership is 59 off 33. LSG 126 for 4 in 17 overs.

Some momentum for LSGFinally the run rate goes past six an over with Ayush Badoni manoeuvring T Natarajan for three boundaries in the 14th over. And we now have two batters going at better than a run a ball: Badoni and Pooran. LSG 90 for 4 in 14
Two ways of looking at it. You are already losing wickets, do you really need a risky single? The squeeze is on, you have to take every single to keep the momentum. Krunal Pandya has hit to mid-off, who is not on the 30-yard circle, and takes him on. Cummins has hit down the middle stump, and got him out. It's 66 for 4 in 11.2.
This is not a slower ball. On pace, sliding onto the pads, Rahul feels he has to have a swing at it. He flicks it in the air, trying to go behind square on the leg side, but he gets little pace to work with because of nthe slowness of the pitch. Caught at deep square, gone for 29 off 33. LSG 57 for 3 in 10 overs.
55 Number of legal balls it has taken for LSG to hit a four. They have hit three sixes, though. And this four has come with Cummins bowling on-pace. Justin Langer says it looks like a "very very slow wicket". LSG 53 for 12 in 9.1 overs

We have 1000 sixes this IPLFor a while it looked like we might have to wait for the second innings to get there, but Krunal Pandya has hit two successive incredible sixes. The first one is unbelievable. A slower bouncer from Jaydev Unadkat, almost head high, but he has flat-batted it for a six over, wait for it, long-on. It is just an incredible hit. The next one is more orthodox, a drive back over Unadkat's head as he pitches it up and goes on pace. LSG 45 for 2 in eight overs.

Early impressions on ViyaskanthIt is a helpful pitch - in that it is a little slow and gripping - but the areas that Viyaskanth has hit in his first over have been perfect. First impressions of a leggie quick through the air. Hasn't turned any of the balls big, but has shown his variations: the wrong'un, the front-of-the-hand ball. Just three off his first over. It is 30 for 2 after seven.

Bhuvneshwar gets Stoinis118 Number of powerplay wickets Bhuvneshwar Kumar has taken in all T20 cricket. Only David Willey has taken more. Add to it his economy of 6. Colossal bowler. And he can thank Sanvir Singh for a low catch diving forward at mid-on. Marcus Stoinis is gone. LSG 21 for 2 in 4.2. In comes Krunal Pandya
2h ago
Bhuvneshwar now gets de Kock outMake it 70 balls for 67 runs for de Kock off Bhuvneshwar, but also make it two dismissals, caught superbly at deep square leg by Nitish Kumar Reddy, who makes the catch look ridiculously easy as he lobs the ball back in when stepping over and comes back in to claim it. LSG 13 for 1 in 2.1 overs. Marcus Stoinis is the new batter in.

Cummins takes new ball2 Number of times Pat Cummins has opened the attack this IPL. A good day to be doing it: his 31st birthday. KL Rahul hits him for a six but he concedes just nine. It's 13 for 0 after two.

LSG bat; de Kock back but Mohsin misses outKL Rahul has won the toss, and has decided to bat first. I suspect it has got a lot to do with denying SRH what they love to do. Quinton de Kock is back for them. The injured Mohsin Khan misses out. They have Amit Mishra in the substitutes today.
SRH have interesting changes. Snavir Singh and the Sri Lankan legspinner Vijayakanth Viyaskanth makes his IPL debut.
