5.20pm Cameron Delport has been out of nick and was scratching around horribly for runs early in his innings - at one stage he was on 2 off 11 deliveries - but he eventually found his range and held the innings together with his 71. Islamabad imploded at the death, losing five wickets in seven balls, but they've still reached 176, which is close to par. Join us in a few minutes for the chase.

Abhijato: "After three consecutive four-fers, Hasan Ali had an off-day in the last match. Today, he's back to his best with an incredible spell of 2-24 which has derailed any momentum the United had gathered. He was left out of the ODI side after a lean run with the ball, but after the string of performances he has managed to pit in, surely he's going to be one of the first names on the team sheet by the time the World Cup comes?"

Wahab Riaz to Mohammad Sami, 1 leg bye, OUT, is this run out, or caught behind? Riaz sends down a full one, angled in from around the stumps. The ball zips through to Kamran, who appeals for a catch off the inside edge. The batsmen attempt another stolen bye, and Kamran throws the stumps down. But they'll also review for the caught behind. Replays show it was off the pad, so the run out stands

Mohammad Sami run out 1 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00

Wahab Riaz to Zafar Gohar, 1 wide, OUT, run out off a wide! Riaz sends it down well outside off and again the batsmen aren't listening to each other as they try to steal a bye. Kamran collects, tosses the ball to Riaz, and he throws down the stumps a second time

Zafar Gohar run out 2 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 100.00

Wahab Riaz to Zafar Gohar, 2 runs, just short of a diving mid off! Zafar sliced his drive, but the ball went to ground in front of a diving fielder

Wahab Riaz to Zafar Gohar, no run, Zafar clears the front leg, but the fast ball beats him outside off

1
Wahab Riaz to Mohammad Sami, 1 run, low full toss, outside off, and Sami just makes sure to put bat to ball, finding a single to cover
19.2
W
Wahab Riaz to Shadab Khan, OUT, there goes another one! Full, fast, and Shadab swings right across it to depart for a golden duck. And it's a team hat-trick, after Hasan's wicket off his last ball and the run out

Shadab Khan b Wahab Riaz 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

W
Wahab Riaz to Nasir Nawaz, OUT, no communication! Riaz flings down a zippy yorker outside off that slips under Nasir's bat. Shadab calls him through, but Nasir's not listening. Eventually he sets off, but by this time Kamran's got the ball back to the bowler, who completes the run out himself

Nasir Nawaz run out 3 (5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 60.00

W
Hasan Ali to Faheem Ashraf, OUT, bowled him! Hasan comes around the stumps and fires in a full length delivery from a very wide angle. It's the angle, really, that does for Faheem, who swings across the line and is beaten by the inward movement. Both the middle and leg stumps are flattened

Faheem Ashraf b Hasan Ali 9 (5b 1x4 0x6) SR: 180.00

Muhammad Hilal: "@asad and @rana in squad for WC they should include Asad shafiq and umer akmal. For those pitches we can rely on these batsmen."

Hasan Ali to Nasir Nawaz, 1 leg bye, big appeal! The ball tails in to beat Nasir's flick to leg, but it's definitely headed down the leg side

Terry Harpot: "I smell the diagnosis of an underachievement from the Islamabad United after that stylish start... Will it be enough against a formidable Zalmi middle order?"

1
Hasan Ali to Faheem Ashraf, 1 run, sliced out towards the cover sweeper, in the air but it doesn't get to him, bouncing well in front of Dawson in that position

Hasan Ali to Faheem Ashraf, FOUR, off the edge, down to third man! It was a low, dipping full toss from Hasan and Faheem looked fortunate just to get bat on it
18.2
2
Hasan Ali to Faheem Ashraf, 2 runs, just clears a back-peddling mid off! Faheem wanted to slam it down the ground, but he's not used to the pace of the surface just yet
18.1
2
Hasan Ali to Faheem Ashraf, 2 runs, chipped in the air into the leg side, and they hustle a second

Hussain: "Anything under 180 would be a win for PZ. They've run a good tight ship for the last few overs. " -- Two overs to go, lets see if they can make a game of it

Umaid Asif to Nasir Nawaz, no run, Nasir's flummoxed by a slower bouncer, playing right over the ball outside off
17.5
W
Umaid Asif to Asif Ali, OUT, holes out to long on! Another important strike from Zalmi, cutting short Asif Ali's innings before he can really cut loose. The ball is short of a good length and he can't get the power he needs on his big hit down the ground

Asif Ali c Wahab Riaz b Umaid Asif 23 (13b 1x4 2x6) SR: 176.92

Umaid Asif to Asif Ali, 1 wide, Umaid sees Asif charging out and sprays this one too short and too wide outside off
17.4

Umaid Asif to Asif Ali, SIX, powered over long on! Asif is gifted a high full toss outside off, and hits a home run over left field

Asad: "@Rana: I was also talking about squad selection. I'll agree that Asif isn't the most consistent but I think that comes with the way he bats. Sarfraz hasn't been at his best with the bat but he's better than anyone else to captain the side so I wouldn't consider replacing him. Guys like Haris Sohail and Amin are really solid and I'm personally a big fan of Sohail myself but they're both not very quick and Sohail (as well as Junaid) is very injury prone."

Umaid Asif to Asif Ali, 2 runs, full, and it's sliced out over point. It doesn't have the legs to reach the boundary, but they're back for two
17.2
1
Umaid Asif to Nasir Nawaz, 1 run, chance for a run out! It's Ibtisam with the throw from short fine leg. He'd picked the ball up after Nasir flicked it to him and Asif Ali charged through for a single, but his throw goes just wide. Direct hit would have had him
17.1
2
Umaid Asif to Nasir Nawaz, 2 runs, just short of a good length, on middle, and Nasir hops to tuck it into the leg side, bringing up the 150

Hasan Ali to Asif Ali, no run, huge heave outside off, but it's the change up, it's slower, and he doesn't get close to it

Hasan Ali to Asif Ali, 2 runs, flicked out to deep midwicket, where Riaz races in and fires in a throw that hits the stumps, but they're safely home

Hasan Ali to Asif Ali, no run,

Whoops! Hasan charges in, but instead of delivering the ball down the track, it slips out of the back of the hand and flies towards mid on. Might have to try that one again
