Still a par score but given the kind of start they got, they would have liked more runs on the board. However, this is what Saud was aiming for at the toss so he will be happy with what the team has mustered. There's some uneven bounce and the pacers have managed to get the ball to skid along and hurry the batters so a good opening burst from the quicks could peg Peshawar back. Saud and Allen got out in the 30s, Rossouw looked good for his 27 and then Mendis and Chapman took the baton and contributed well but nobody was allowed to dominate the bowlers fully. It was a remarkable bowling effort; Saim has become a full-time bowler and made crucial early breakthroughs, Joseph was incredibly accurate while Wood continued his superb form. The youngster Ali had a less impressive day and was hit for plenty

Wood to Mohammad Amir, 1 bye, Sashayed across his stumps and he bowls a slower back of a length ball wide of off, tries to ramp and doesn't connect

Muhammed Arqum: "The entire top order of GQ is composed of international talent when it should have been the other way around considering the bench that includes the likes of Haseebullah Khan, Khawaja Nafay and Danish Aziz. Even sending Hasan Nawaz lower down the order does not makes sense considering his ability to perform top the order. "

Wood to Mohammad Amir, FOUR, Picks up the ball from a length outside off, backs away and throws his bat it, gets the much-needed boundary, evading the man at short third, got a thick edge

Ansar Waseem: "Gladiators are under utilising Hassan Nawaz. Surely, they can promote Hassan as opener and Said can bat at No 4."

Wood to Chapman, OUT, Almost on a length and angling into middle, camped deep in the crease and heaves it to Owen at long-on who hangs onto it brilliantly, no elevation at all as wickets continue to tumble

W
Wood to Hasan Nawaz, OUT, Pace-off shorter length and meandering outside off, unable to put bat on it but Nawaz wasn't interested in the single at all and the non-striker kept running, he left the crease eventually and got himself run-out. Massive miscommunication

Hasan Nawaz run out 8 (5m 4b 0x4 1x6) SR: 200

Joseph to Hasan Nawaz, SIX, Whoa! Where did that come from? Hefty blow over long-on, shorter in length at him. Lifted it over his shoulder and into the heavens for an extraordinary six, into the top tier and remained in the air for an eternity

ShahSafeer: "This has surely not been the traditional Lahore pitch which allows batter to score runs freely. 170 would be a match winning total. Amir, Wasim, Abrar and Saud could be handy"

Joseph to Hasan Nawaz, no run, Looks like the pitch has quickened up. Belted into the deck, rises insanely off the deck, an absolute snorter exploding off and not giving him time to pull, seriously quick. He took a step forward and tried to pull, hit him on the bottom of the grille

Joseph to Faheem Ashraf, OUT, Caught and bowled! Again hitting the deck hard, extracting all the bounce on offer, got him into a tangle, he plants his front leg and tries to pummel it towards midwicket, too fast for thee, sits up nicely for Joseph to run to his left and gobble it up, short stay at the crease. Peshawar have done well to pull things back

Joseph to Faheem Ashraf, 1 run, Touch short and skidding on at middle, goes for the pull looking a bit ungainly, not quite on top of it, beaten slightly by the pace

1lb
Joseph to Chapman, 1 leg bye, Fraction short and plugging away from middle, kept a bit low, wanted to pull and ends up getting hit on the pads, shrieking for an lbw and not given; sent upstairs by Babar. Hits him on left thigh just above the knee roll. Kind of a stifled appeal; don't think there much going in favor of bowler, could have saved time. Pitched outside leg and that's that

Ali Raza to Chapman, FOUR, Scruffy fielding at extra cover, Babar looks at his palms again, second misfield in no time, he was swooping across mid-off, dived and couldn't cling onto, was a fuller ball on middle, thumped it past cover, beautiful batting

Joseph to Mendis, OUT, Pace-off slightly short teasing delivery floating wide of off, outsmarts him on this occasion, he doesn't judge the slower one and goes hard at it, trying to break the shackles and ends up getting the toe-end edge to Haris; played a good hand but it was the need of the hour to tee off
