7.18pm We're ready to go. Khawaja taking strike against Tanvir.

Impressive finish from the Sultans! An innings that received the middle-overs muscle looked like it'd taper off. Then Khushdil found his hitting range and clouted four sixes in an expensive 29-run penultimate over off Akif Javed to get them to 180. The surface has been true for most parts so if United get in, they should quite enjoy batting out here. But of course the pressure of a run chase in a knockout qualifier game can do strange things. Varun will be back with you shortly

Mohammad Wasim to Khushdil Shah, 1 run, low full toss, he makes room and hits hard but can only hit it as far as the cover fielder at the edge of the ring. Multan have a score on the board in a knockout game! Over to you, United.

Akif Javed to Khushdil Shah, SIX, Four in a row! wow! Can you believe it? He wasn't even looking at the ball when he played this hook shot and it carries all the way. He's nearly beaten by a skiddy bouncer, tad late on the stroke and because he's beaten, he looks away when he makes contact. Boy, he's got a good willow. Flew off the top-edge

Akif Javed to Khushdil Shah, SIX, make that threw in a row! Khushdil has announced himself and it's not a bad time to have done so! This is a full toss angling into middle and leg, and he muscles this deep into the grassbanks at cow corner. This is poor bowling, inexperience from Akif. Searching for a yorker but ended up being a delicious hit-me ball

Akif Javed to Khushdil Shah, SIX, swings this wildly, gets a thick outside edge that flies over short third. Not where he intended but that doesn't matter now

Akif Javed to Khushdil Shah, SIX, take that! Khushdil has eaten a number of deliveries but if he can deliver a flourish here, they'll take that. Clears his front leg and swings this into the arc between deep midwicket and wide long-on!

Akif Javed to Sohail Tanvir, FOUR, full toss and put away! Angling into the pads and he helps it along to the deep fine leg boundary

M. Awais : "Imran Tahir will be the key in middle overs for MS while defending." -- Truer words haven't been spoken this evening. How many will he have to defend? He'd love 180 plus.
