10.36 pm If you thought what Islamabad United did yesterday was special chasing the second highest target in PSL history with a ball to spare, well... Jason Roy decided to not just raise but double down. The previous highest successful chase in PSL history was a target of 207. Gladiators chase down a target of 241 with a whopping 10 balls to spare. Only four wickets fall in the entire match, and just three of them go to bowlers.

Martin Guptill of Quetta Gladiators: "Unbelievable J Roy. Probably one of the best T20 innings I've ever seen. I'm speechless. The striking from start to finish was incredible. [On the pitch] I'm pretty happy to roll that one up and take it with me. Originally we were told we needed to win in 13.2 overs to have a decent chance to qualify for the playoffs. But to chase 240 with 10 balls to spare is pretty special. Hopefully we have a bit of momentum and can scrape through to qualify. Babar is a great player. He's not gonna hurt you with brutal hitting or anything like that but he takes the game away with classical cricket shots and it was good to watch."

Player of the Match is Jason Roy: "I just went out there and had some fun. I had to pretty much go hard from ball one chasing a big total but on that wicket and these boundaries, it was a hell of a lot of fun. You have to go after everyone. It was just one of those days and seemed to come off as well. Extremely happy with it and it was a long time coming. On pitches like this and these boundaries, all you have to do is play proper shots. None of the boundaries felt ungettable. So it was very tough for the bowlers out there. It's just a shame that we've not been where we want to be this tournament but today is definitely something to smile about. In T20, it's as good as I've ever played. Chasing that total is something that doesn't happen often so I'm going to cherish this."

That'll do it for today's coverage. Come back tomorrow for some more PSL action. Until then, take care!

Azmatullah Omarzai to Roy, 1 wide, bouncer over fourth stump, left alone. Wide called on height.

Gladiators are the first PSL team to hit 39 boundaries in a PSL match. 30 fours and nine sixes. And there's still time to add to that.

Dr. Arbab : "Why the discussion is about Babar? Why bot about Wahab Riaz, Arshad Iqbal, and Aamer Jamal? "

Aamer Jamal to Mohammad Hafeez, 1 leg bye, yorker full on middle and leg, misses a flick and it comes off the pads into the leg side for a leg bye. Zalmi call for a review. If there was no bat on this, it looked pretty tight. He was hit in front of middle and leg. Was it clipping enough of leg stump? No. Missing leg stump tailing down the leg side.

Fuzzy: "All that talk about Babar and Roy and strike rates. But what needs highlighting is Peshawar's bowling lineup. They clearly don't have a bowling unit on par with other teams. Even their most senior player i.e. Wahab is getting smashed all round the ground."

Aamer Jamal to Mohammad Hafeez, SIX, length ball on sixth stump, swatted over Babar leaping in vain at long-off and barely clears him for six.

Aamer Jamal to Mohammad Hafeez, FOUR, full on the wide guideline, Hafeez shuffles across trying to scoop this over fine leg, bottom edge goes past off stump and the keeper to the fine leg rope. Not how he intended to get it there but the desired result is achieved in the end anyway.
