5.05pm Charles set the early pace with his fifty, and he and Vince laid the platform for Multan Sultans. Zalmi managed to claw things back at the death to hold them to 172 for 5, which looks about par. Join us in a few minutes for the chase.

Ben Edwards: "Not so much Boom Boom as Swish Swish"

Haaris Ali Arsh: "I was really looking for some sparkle of Shahid Afridi's bat. PSL seems incomplete without it. :)"

Nayyar Raza Kha: "What an over this was. Great bowling. Wahab save 8 to 10 runs for his team in this over."

Sherjeel544: "Being 90-1 in 10 overs. Multan is atleast 15-20 runs short here which is gonna cost them. Don't write off the Zalmi already. "

Terry Harpot: "@VenkatCM - you've made two comments this match. Both have been jinxes. Your skills will transcend human understanding like that of the Crystal Ball (and we may now know you as an anti-Abhijato ;)) if you can do it a third time. Could you please say, "Buckle up... Afghanistan won't make it to the finals of the World Cup!"?"

Omair Iqbal: "It is very just to say malik's captaincy and his decision in PSL is not always been correct or rather strange one. There is discussion that he should replace Sarfaraz as captain in world cup. I think after watching PSL it would be poor decision. Inzamam is also talking about resting Sarfaraz in upcoming series. I don't know what is he thinking. Leave captaincy Pakistan doesn't seem to have good keeper than Sarfaraz. Rizwan is far away in batting skills. Yesterday also drop a catch"
