Pandey walks towards the ball and tries to force it over the man at mid on. The ball comes off the toe end of the bat and is chipped straight towards Bhuvneshwar Kumar at mid on. Bhuvi takes the simplest of catches and that is an unecessary shot from Pandey. Shepherd though seems elated and Lucknow in a spot of real bother here.

Washington Sundar to Evin Lewis, OUT! LBW! Evin Lewis is a goner and Washington Sundar is on fire! Two left-handed batters have fallen prey to the off-spinner and one has to question whether Lewis should have been sent in and not Manish Pandey. Just a regulation delivery, on a length and sliding into middle and leg. For a third time, Lewis gets down on one knee and looks to sweep but misses. He is rapped on the back leg and this time it is adjacent enough to be given out. Rahul questions whether Lewis got a knick on it but Lewis just starts walking. What a start from Washington Sundar though!

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to KL Rahul, FOUR! KL Rahul getting into the groove now. Bit of width on offer and this is classically driven on the up, through cover for a boundary.

Lewis misses the sweep and gets pinged on the pads. Washington Sundar seems very interested but the appeal is turned down. The skipper though has obliged and takes the review. It seems straightforward on first glance and UltraEdge confirms that there's no bat involved. Ball Tracker though shows that it is umpire's call on wickets hitting and Sundar cannot believe it.

Washington Sundar to Quinton de Kock, OUT! TAKEN! Skipper Kane Williamson takes a brilliant catch and the move to bring the off-spinner at the start has worked wonders for Hyderabad. This is flighted from 'round the wicket and bowled on middle. Quinton de Kock makes a bit of room and looks to cover drive. He does so but uppishly and times it well. Williamson though springs to his right at covers and pouches it with both hands. De Kock's weakness against the off-spin has been exploited and Sundar has given his side the perfect start.

We are all set to begin! The umpires make their way into the middle. Hyderabad players are in the huddle and they now disperse to take their respective postions. KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock are the openers for Lucknow. Bhuvneshwar Kumar to start with the ball for Hyderabad. KL Rahul will be on strike. Here we go...

So Hyderabad going with an unchanged team and it will be interesting to see if they will make any changes to the batting order, with the likes of Aiden Markram more than capable to bat at the top of the order. However, they need to bowl well first and they will be banking on Bhuvneshwar Kumar to make early inroads with the new ball. Lucknow, on the other hand, now looks even stronger unit with Jason Holder in the lineup and let's see how he goes about his business against his former team.
