Lucknow Super Giants stopped Kolkata Knight Riders four runs short of their mammoth total of 238 for 3 at the Eden Gardens on Tuesday but not before a scare. Launching their reply in breath-taking fashion, the Knights looked to be on course for much of the game. Skipper Ajinkya Rahane hit a 35-ball 61 and vice-captain Venkatesh Iyer 45 off 29 after Quinton de Kock and Sunil Narine provided a rollicking start.     

Earlier, Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran, the top three in the LSG line-up, brought their A-game to the contest as the visitors left the Knights a mountain to climb.
