- BATSMENRB4s6sSR8.6 Ronchi holes out to deep square leg. Pushed through on off stump, non-turner, Ronchi drops down to one knee and slog-sweeps hard but can't clear Junaid in the outfield 61/33.4 Irfan hits a hard length outside off, neither driveable nor pullable, Rizwan can only splice a catch to short cover 25/14.5 What have you done, Delport? This is a poor ball. Hip-high delivery on leg stump, picked up and flicked in the air. But it does on Irfan at short fine leg. He dives forward and plucks the catch inches from the ground 26/29.2 Afridi pulls out a blinding catch at short midwicket! Umpire's referral here. Afridi claims the catch and the soft signal is out. He dives forward and plucks it inches from the ground. He does well to wrap his fingers around the ball. Stunning grab from Afridi. Chipped away in the air and here comes Afridi's athletic intervention 63/410.2 Afridi cleans Salt up. Quick fizzer from Afridi, gathers more pace after pitching, back of a length, Salt shuffles across off and does not make contact with a scoop. Replays indicate that was the seam-up variety from Afridi. He hits the top of leg stump 71/516.2 full and swerves back in sharply from wide of the crease, bursts through the gate and nails the stumps. Multan coach Botha is pleased as punch in the dug out 96/711.4 Charles throws himself to his right and grabs a low catch. Fuller than a good length and nips away just enough to take the outside edge. Lovely ball from Junaid, lovely catch from Charles 76/6Extras2 (b 1, nb 1)TOTAL125/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.25)Fall of wickets: 1-25 (Rizwan Hussain, 3.4 ov), 2-26 (Cameron Delport, 4.5 ov), 3-61 (Luke Ronchi, 8.6 ov), 4-63 (Hussain Talat, 9.2 ov), 5-71 (Phil Salt, 10.2 ov), 6-76 (Asif Ali, 11.4 ov), 7-96 (Shadab Khan, 16.2 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR7.4 There's a direct hit at the non-striker's end. By Shadab (who else?) He swoops down on the ball from backward point and nails the stumps to catch Masood well short. The batsman stepped back and tipped it wide of Shadab, but he just pounced onto the ball and released it swiftly 40/21.3 on a length and nibbling away outside off, Charles feels for the ball and snicks it behind to Ronchi. Islamabad needed an early wicket and Maqsood provides it for them 3/18.5 Evans picks out Asif Ali at long-on. Tossed-up legbreak outside off, much slower through the air, hit against the turn to the man in the outfield 43/314.1 front-of-the-hand flipper from Shadab, too quick for Azam. Pings the pad in front of middle. That's very adjacent and Azam has to go and that's the time-out 75/416.3 Sami bowls Russell lets out an almighty roar. Yorker on off stump, Russell clears his front leg but can't get it away. Excellent execution from Sami. Another twist in the chase 101/5Extras8 (b 4, lb 2, nb 1, w 1)TOTAL126/5 (18.4 Overs, RR: 6.75)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Johnson Charles, 1.3 ov), 2-40 (Shan Masood, 7.4 ov), 3-43 (Laurie Evans, 8.5 ov), 4-75 (Hammad Azam, 14.1 ov), 5-101 (Andre Russell, 16.3 ov)
