Mohammed Shami to Quinton de Kock, OUT! TIMBER! First KL Rahul and now Quinton de Kock. Mohammed Shami with a dream spell here. He is elated and Lucknow have lost both their openers early. Good-length ball from Shami, swinging in from outside off. Quinton de Kock is completely beaten by that and the ball goes through his defences to shatter the stumps. The last one nipped away and this nipped in and Quinton de Kock had no answers.

Mohammed Shami to Quinton de Kock, MISFIELD AND FOUR! Length ball, outside off. Quinton de Kock looks to drive it on the up. The ball goes off the outside edge to third man. Lockie Ferguson there lets the ball go through his hands and allows a boundary. That would hurt Mohammed Shami. Should have been just a single!

Mohammed Shami to Evin Lewis, Short of a length, on off. Evin Lewis goes for the pull shot but does not time it well at all. He was a bit early on that and gets hit on the body. A terrific first over from Mohammed Shami. A wicket of KL Rahul and just 2 runs off it.

Rahul out! LSG 2/1 after 1 over
WHAT A START! Mohammed Shami struck with the first ball of the match, dismissing KL Rahul caught behind for a duck with an unplayable ball. Gujarat Titans though required a successful review to overturn the not out decision. Shami came up with a perfect start for GT in the league - a big wicket and just 2 runs off it.

Mohammed Shami to KL Rahul, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! What a start from Mohammed Shami! Good-length ball, on the fourth stump channel. The ball moves away late and sharply from KL Rahul. He covers the line and tries to block it with a dead bat but gets beaten by the swing. The ball goes past the outside edge and carries through to Matthew Wade. The Gujarat team is very excited and appeal for catch but the umpire is unmoved. Mohammed Shami was very adamant that he has got his man and convinces Hardik Pandya to opt for the review. Replay rolls in and UltraEdge catches a spike indeed. Clear deflection there and KL Rahul has to depart for a golden duck. A dream start for Gujarat. 

19:36 (IST) Mar 28

Review! Hardik Pandya has opted for a review for caught behind! Some movement early on for Mohammed Shami and Gujarat think that KL Rahul has nicked it. The UltraEdge rolls in and it shows that there is a clear spike as the ball passes the bat. The on-field decision needs to be overturned!
