LSG 165-2 (15 Ovs) vs RR| SCORECARD

Lucknow Super Giants are being held in check as the bowlers finally claw things back after a dominant start.

Brijesh Sharma returns and keeps things tight. Rishabh Pant picks up a single off the pads, before a wide adds an extra run. Mitchell Marsh swings and misses next up, followed by a leg bye as RR build pressure. Pant tries to break free by charging down the track but is beaten. Just a single comes off the final ball -- a much better over for RR, only 4 runs conceded. After 14 overs, LSG are 160/2.

Yash Raj Punja continues and keeps the squeeze on. Pant gets a single, Marsh is shut down for a dot, and then mistimes a pull straight to the fielder. The batters are forced into rotating strike, with singles all around.

Only 5 runs come from the over, and after 15 overs LSG are 165/2, as RR finally regain some control.
