Shardul Thakur to Rashid Khan. Half volley, off stump deep in crease Slog, mis-timed to deep mid wicket for 2 runs, shy attempt by Miller. That wraps up the first innings, with Lucknow Super Giants staging a strong comeback after conceding 103 runs in the first ten overs. Their bowlers found their rhythm, picking up regular wickets and restricting Gujarat Titans to 180 runs. Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill continued their good form and posted fifties, but the collapse began soon after the first wicket fell. The key question is how Lucknow's batters will approach this chase and how Gujarat's bowlers will devise a strategy to defend this total. Stay tuned as we bring you the second half of the game shortly.
