Pacer again bowled a good length, outside off stump delivery which came in with the angle and nipped back after pitching.

This time it was a delivery outside off stump which did the trick for the Indian veteran pacer as the ball nipped back and rattled the stumps of Manish Pandey. Lucknow lost their top-4 inside the powerplay as their score read 32/4 after the first six overs.
