Tremendous battle. Fakhar and Mitchell put in some fantastic rebuilding work, bringing energy, momentum and serious power to their shots. Both batters got into the 70s and did plenty of damage. Billings chipped in with a useful contribution and then Raza put the cherry on top towards the end. Hassan Ali and Adam Milne were on top of their game, helping keep a lid on the score. Let's see how Karachi respond with the bat. It's a blockbuster game; one that'll really boost the confidence of whichever team comes out on top

Milne to Sikandar Raza, 1 run, OUT, Fired in a yorker, follows him as he moves leg-side, once again squirted out into the covers, hurries for the second, Rishad is well short of his crease at non-striker's end and Lahore finish on 201 which is certainly defendable

Abbas Afridi to Rishad Hossain, 2 runs, Another clever fuller slower one dipping on his toes, thick leading edge and drops short of Khushdil at long-on region, just died in front of him. He could have gone for the catch and Abbas is not so impressed by the effort

W
Abbas Afridi to Mitchell, OUT, Pace-off and slightly short, pushing it across off, this time he finds the fielder to perfection, Hasan Ali backtracks, tumbles but didn't lose the ball, caught at short third region but what a fine knock by the reliable Mitchell.

W
Hasan Ali to Billings, OUT, Fraction short and zips in at middle, Billings takes the aerial route and hasn't got all of it, Irfan charges in from deep and pouches it comfortably at wide long-on. Didn't get the middle but he had to go

Bilal Anwar : "Adding Overthrows to the bowler's tally is so cruel especially when they are already brutally treated in the modern day cricket. These must be added as Extras."

Khushdil Shah to Mitchell, 2 runs, Tossed on middle, flicked away using his fluid wrists to deep midwicket and scampers back for a brace

Khushdil Shah to Mitchell, 2 runs, Pushing it towards middle from wider of the crease, works it away into the acres of spaces at deep midwicket, struggling while scrambling back for the second, throw was spot-on, Seifert quickly got rid of the bails, sent upstairs. He is comfortably home
16.4
1lb
Khushdil Shah to Billings, 1 leg bye, Strong appeal for an lbw; not given by the on-field umpire. Around the wicket, lands it on a length and targets the pads, looks close, Billings tries to sweep and misses it completely, no seismic activity on ultra-edge. Pitching outside off, impact outside so we won't go any further
