Vaibhav Arora to Nicholas Pooran. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot slog sweeping, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep backward square leg for 1 run, fielded by Iyer. That's the end of the first innings, and Lucknow have posted a massive total on the board! Their openers got off to a blazing start, and the rest of the batting line-up carried on the momentum to set a daunting target. Mitch Marsh played a solid knock of 81 before being dismissed, but Nicholas Pooran stole the show with a sensational 87 from just 36 balls, retaining the Orange Cap. The Kolkata bowlers struggled to find their rhythm, making the attack expensive. Harshit Rana did manage to pick up two wickets, but it was a tough day for the bowlers. Lucknow will be confident, and Kolkata will have a big chase on their hands! Join us shortly for the run chase.
