10:23pm: Well, it was on the cards. With the rain pouring down unabated and less than an hour left in the cut-off time, the match has been called off. Both teams get one point. Quetta and Lahore are both locked at 9 points, with Lahore in second spot, one step above Quetta by virtue of their better net run rate

10:08pm: Very calm and serene vibe at the stadium; some fans still waiting earnestly in hopes of more action. A light drizzle lingers in the air and we still have a little over an hour left for a five-over contest but for that to happen, the rain needs to stop completely so mop-up operations can begin

9:48pm: The cut-off time is 11:18pm for a five-over game. The dust storm has stopped but it's still raining

9:35pm: It's tipping down at the moment, the aisles are empty and there's no activity on the ground. The covers remain in place and it's falling steadily, observing by the live pictures and continuous droplets on the camera

Mash'hood : "As Mr Rawhale is enjoying some samosas I've asked DLS calculator. . . It looks easy that a 5 over game would only ask Quetta to score 53/2. . Is it???" haha, it's a moot point now. Called off

N863GT: "2,796KM from lahore, in SL and it's dark and "clear". no rain. also watching the IPLon another tab."

Adeel: "I am more than 1000 KM away from Lahore, i.e. Karachi. It's unbearable HOT and HUMID. How lucky are you all to receive rain" Been there! But it gets pleasant at night due to the maritime climate. You've got the sea to be grateful for

9pm Right so we have a delay due to this sudden dust storm. We have a cushion of 30 minutes before we start to lose overs. Stick around for further updates

rssampat: "@ Commentator" Yes, this is your on-call commentator. What's up?

Adeel: "A "5 over game"? I always have very serious reservations with this minimum overs quota in a T20 game. Even in our galli (street) cricket, we play min 7/8 overs."

Inam storii: "Rvel Zahid what's your name pronounced?? Raveel , Veel , Reel" None of these. It's pronounced like 'Ra-whale'

Yousuf: "about ten minutes away from Gaddafi here and it's only a light drizzle. wind has nearly stopped and it seems the worst is behind us"

Attiya: "Khurram shehzad has been prone to injuries. Though, whiteball isn't as taxing as Test, still its a valid point. Suddenly, he isn't a test bowler but whiteball whereas he is gaining edge because of his test length bowling!"

Uzair jamal: "the one person who has been in bad form and has been seen improving is shaheen shah afridi he was too expected of a bowler every batter new that he would put it full and swing it in but now he has pulled his length a little back and uses more shorter balls we saw a glimpse of old shaheen vs quetta in their previous match up"

Time to grab a cup of tea and maybe some pakoras and samosas? Let's take a little break

Abdullah : "Peshawar would want Lahore to lose as this would give them the opportunity to catch up. 1-1 point for both teams would be bad for Peshawar as they will have alot of catching to do"

Ahmed: "Thoughts on the Ali Raza talk? i know everyone sees a young pacer up and running and wants them fast tracked, but after seeing quality bowlers like naseem and shaheen suffer injuries at young ages, one would definetly want ali raza to play first class cricket and stay protected for another 2-3 years atleast before he comes onto the stage, i think some more first class cricket can help him reach the top of his ranks, ALSO no one is talking about khurram shahzad as a find for t20is? he's on fire"

Wajahat Ahsan: "It takes 3 to 3.5 hours to reach from Islamabad to Lahore through motorway. I guess the thunderstorm was traveling on the same as it was raining, a hell of lightning and thunderstorm in Islamabad around 3 to 4 hours before."

rssampat: "Well, I am almost 2000 miles away in Bengaluru, India and even here it's raining!! " seems like the same monsoon winds that bring rain to Bengaluru also affect much of the subcontinent. If my high school geography class memory serves me right, these winds originate from Bay of Bengal

Uzair jamal: "not too quick into the team because he is still young and this is the main problem of pakistan a player performs in PSL and they take him into national team I think he still has to develop a little bit becuase he does leak couple of runs at times " Hmm, Mohammad Amir said the same thing about Ali that he should play a few domestic seasons before being brought into the senior team

Sajjad: "4250 km away from qadafi stadium in kuala Lumpur here is raining .still waiting for rain to stop and enjoy cricket on cricinfo." That update should be useful for next season too

usman: "The rain has started to pour heavily in Lahore. Lahore being Lahore." Lahore Lahore Aey

Hamza: "Naeem has played his cricket in Township Whites, the whole ground where i played Tape ball in my school and college time. He is a proper Hitter like Imran Nazir but need to be trained before pushing him into International Matches. He can be polished well and to be used along with Saim to reduce burden from fakhar and saim"

Uzair jamal: "everyone talking about muhammad naaem yasir khan but the player who is the find of PSL in my opinion is Ali raza he is quick nice line and length young and has a fast bowling brain" Do you think he should be fast-tracked into the national team?

Ahmad Ali: "I'm from Kasur 50KM away from Lahore, it's alright here, maybe Kasur is next stop for storm."

Attiya: "@Saifi--- Wait for international cricket to make a call whether these all four can smack the bowlers or not! Saim just started to take off before injury, Fakhar t20 numbers arent promising, Haris will be on 4 which will be new for him in internationals with Farhan in doubts to have opening slot with fakhar/saim."

Hamza: "I am nearby stadium, Dust has almost settle down meanwhile rain might be on way but match can be completed in strong wind. Fingers crossed"

Fareed: "Sunny out here close to New York just 10,000km from the stadium." Very relevant and proximate weather update (clapping)

Azeem Ali: "Naeem has scored just 117 in 7 innings with one 50. and everyone is saying that he is the find of psl 2025...really? This is our main problem, one good 30/50 or one good spell of bowling by any new players and we wanted to see him in the national team squad...and when he is in the team he flops badly..." Yeah, it's too early to make predictions but there's no harm in being excited

ShahSafeer: "A lot of cities of Pakistan are experiencing dust storms and rains. My hometown is no different to them either" What's your hometown?

Saifi: "Farhan, Haris, Saim and Fakhar can all be picked to whack bowlers around the park and Abdullah and Shafique to be chosen as perfect ones for consolidate the innings if needed. Teams don't need players who start playing extremely aggressive cricket even if wickets fall early."

Makki: "I am hardly 2 KM away from qaddafi at my home, its heavy storm full of dust...." You must be in Gulberg then

Adeel: "I thought dust storms capable of stopping the play were only characteristic of Multan" Yeah, it's much more common there maybe because there's not much vegetation in Multan

Dr Nazim: "Sialkot city is 100Km from Lahore, its the same situation with rain." Looks like we've got all the weather correspondents in today; keep the weather updates coming!

ASIF: "@Zahid, Mark my words, Rain is coming. This could be the end of the match. " marked

Barkat : "We had a huge dust storm in Sargodha about an hour ago, but no rain, maybe it's gone over to Lahore "

RANA IBRAR: "Its raining with squall in Gujranwala 60KM away from Lahore."

zidane: "There weren't many finds at all, only Naeem and probably Yasir, though he has been in the setup for about two to three years. So yes, only Naeem, and if he performs towards the back stage (i guess he finally got set) can be tried for the national team"

Dude: "Well Ali Raza has impressed quite much as a youngster, but I'm more glad to see Haris and Fakhar getting their game back in shape. They were missing form for quite a while now. Abdullah Shafique has always been extraordinary in PSL and Domestic, don't know why he choked in International games."

Osama: "Heavy storm in lahore."

Naseef: "@Junaid, I think it's fine to mention find of the season, it's this tournament where you identify players with potential to try out in the national team after all!"
