Harshal returns for the penultimate over. Abdul Samad starts with a single to long-off. Pooran then watches two deliveries sail wide down the leg side - pressure telling on the bowler. Pooran capitalises with a fierce four, but wait - the height is checked. It's called a no-ball, and SRH review it. The third umpire upholds the on-field call, and the free-hit results in just a single. Pooran swings and misses the next one. Harshal thinks there's a nick, convinces Cummins to review - but UltraEdge confirms no contact. Samad calmly pushes the next down the ground for a single. Then, Pooran latches onto a wide yorker and drills it through the covers for another four. A quick single rounds off the over - 15 runs from it. After 19 overs, LSG are 185 for 4.
Nitish Kumar Reddy is trusted with the final over, and Cummins has a long word with him. It starts nervously - a wide. The nerves only grow as Pooran launches a massive six, and Reddy winces in frustration. Another wide follows - the pressure is mounting. Pooran pushes to midwicket and wants two but settles for one.
Change in strike. Samad swings and misses. Pooran is desperate for a run, but a direct hit from Kishan catches him short - Pooran is gone for a superb 45 off 26. LSG are five down.
Shardul Thakur comes in as the Impact Sub, replacing Marsh. He gets a cheeky boundary, then swings and misses. Another run-out! Thakur falls in similar fashion to Pooran, sprinting for a desperate single only to be caught short again. The chaos continues.
Ravi Bishnoi arrives, but Samad is on strike. Bowled! Reddy strikes again. What an over this has turned out to be!
Akashdeep walks in and faces the final ball - and he ends it with a flourish, smashing a six!
20 runs and 3 wickets came off a dramatic final over. LSG finish on 205 for 7.
