- BATSMENRB4s6sSR13.5 taken at point! Excellent bowling from Shadab! He sees Fakhar's petulant stray down the track. Throws it wide of the left-hander's reach, who still looks to drag it from way outside off stump into the leg side, and pays for the mistake. Miscue lobs up and lands in a diving Rizwan's hands 124/210.4 review for catch behind by Sohail. He was looking to play the hook and was cramped. Looked like it came off the helmet as he looked to back down the leg side and hit that...was there an edge before that though? Yes there was! He is gone. As is the review. Replays confirm the right decision was made. A good innings from Sohail nonetheless, he's given Lahore a superb start to the season 92/115.3 taken at long-off! Brilliant effort on the boundary, moving back, leaping up over his left shoulder, both hands high up and a split second later, the ball sticks in them. Sussex's Phillip Salt has just broken the internet. Or well, close enough. And AB, having looked in good touch, is deceived by a slower ball, his loft intended to carry over the boundary not quite reaching its destination 132/318.5 is Devcich run-out?. Yep. He's called through for a leg bye after Hafeez misses a pull shot and gets struck somewhere near the armpit but is a bit slow to respond and even a full length dive can't save him from Ashraf's direct hit 155/616.6 premeditates a sweep, looking to help the ball away to fine leg, but Delport benefits by keeping a wicket-to-wicket line with his change of pace deliveries and the little legbreak pins Taylor in front 142/418.2 premeditates the scoop aaaaaand it's caught by a backtracking square leg. Out to a full toss. One that gives him plenty of room to free the hands and heft it over the covers. But having committed to playing on the leg side, he ends up top-edging to Talat 150/519.4 nicely done - both from the bowler and then from Ronchi, underarming the ball at the stumps and breaking them. It's funny really. Yasir's barely moved from his position as the batsman but replays shows Hafeez is already there, within handshaking distance, and as a result of that, he's the one that's out. The batsmen didn't cross so Yasir has to go 164/719.6 full, straight, Afridi plays all around it and is out lbw. Just too quick for him. But wait, the replay seems to suggest he may have been struck outside the line of off stump 166/8Extras9 (lb 2, w 2, pen 5)TOTAL171/8 (20 Overs, RR: 8.55)Fall of wickets: 1-97 (Sohail Akhtar, 10.4 ov), 2-129 (Fakhar Zaman, 13.5 ov), 3-137 (AB de Villiers, 15.3 ov), 4-147 (Brendan Taylor, 16.6 ov), 5-155 (Carlos Brathwaite, 18.2 ov), 6-160 (Anton Devcich, 18.5 ov), 7-169 (Yasir Shah, 19.4 ov), 8-171 (Shaheen Shah Afridi, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.2 two in two! Terrible ball, but Ronchi has managed to drag it straight to short fine. Short ball down leg side, there for the pull. He takes it on but can't get it over the fielder 45/25.1 taken at mid-off! This length ball holds its line in the corridor as Rizwan looks to club into the leg side. Comes off the outside part of the bat and hangs up for Hafeez to take that 45/113.1 he's got a fourth! Can you believe it?! Four wickets in seven balls, incredible. And what a time to pick this one up too. Delport had just begun getting it right. Length ball at off stump, looks to drill it straight. Bat turns in his hand and it is high and lobbed for extra cover, who jogs to the right and holds on. On a hat-trick again. 104/45.6 straight to extra cover this time! Oh dear. That is ordinary batting throughout this over. Length ball outside off, chucks his bat at this without too much feet. Slightly away from the body, no attempt to keep this down. Ends up slicing a simple catch 49/314.4 straight to short fine! Talat does himself in over here. Moved too early for the attempted ramp. Bowler saw him and got a short slower ball in. It was rising on him by the end and there was no pace on it. Lobbed straight to that fielder 118/5Extras11 (lb 3, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL177/5 (19.2 Overs, RR: 9.15)Fall of wickets: 1-45 (Rizwan Hussain, 5.1 ov), 2-45 (Luke Ronchi, 5.2 ov), 3-49 (Phil Salt, 5.6 ov), 4-104 (Cameron Delport, 13.1 ov), 5-118 (Hussain Talat, 14.4 ov)
