3.40pm Fakhar Zaman got them a start with his fifty, but Lahore Qalandars' middle order couldn't get going and they've struggled to what seems to be a slightly under par 140 for 8. Spin was vital for Multan Sultans, Shahid Afridi picking up a miserly 2 for 18, while Mohammad Abbas' 3 for 22 showed that there's something in it for the seamers too. Join us in a few minutes for the chase

Junaid Khan to Haris Rauf, FOUR, Haris ends the innings with a boundary, charging the bowler and slashing a drive up and over cover. Quite by accident, he finds the gap despite slicing the shot, and Qalandars reach 140

Junaid Khan to Shaheen Shah Afridi, OUT, this time he's run out! Again the batsmen attempt to pinch a quick single, but there's confusion with Afridi ball watching and they end up at the same end, Afridi just short

Junaid Khan to Shaheen Shah Afridi, 2 runs, should have been a run out! Afridi digs a full one out straight back to the bowler and they set off for a non-existent single. Junaid picks it up, turns and aims for the stumps, but misses to give away overthrows. Afridi would have been well short

Last over, Junaid will bowl it

Mohammad Ilyas to Gunaratne, OUT, pinned in front! Ilyas bustles in and fires in a full one at Gunaratne, who turns his stance around to try and reverse-lap a back-of-the-hand slower ball but can't lay bat to ball and is hit on the pad. The finger goes up, but Gunaratne asks for a review after a quick consultation with his partner. Ball-tracking shows an umpire's call on impact with the stumps, so he's got to go!

DAS Gunaratne lbw b Mohammad Ilyas 12 (11b 0x4 1x6) SR: 109.09

Sheeraz: "Talking of Zimbawe. It's been a long time they've been playing the game at the highest level now. Why haven't they been able to put up a side that is able to compete with the top teams regularly. I only remember that around the 99 world cup they had a decent side with Andy, Grant, Neil Johnson, Heath Streak, Goodwin, Paul Strang and they reached the Semis I think. But that's probably the only brief period I can remember them being competitive. " -- It was definitely something of a high water mark for Zimbabwe, reaching the Super Six at that World Cup. They've had their moments since then, but not quite as visibly. I'd argue they're as competitive as ever
