- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.3 picks out the man in the deep! Ronchi was looking to get after the bowling, but he hits a length delivery almost straight out to Dawson at deep midwicket. The umpires just ask to have another look for the no-ball, and it's very tight. Eventually they decide he's got something behind the line, so the dismissal stands 32/16.5 spliced into the air, and the Dawson/Sameen combo works for a second time! Farhan tried to pull a short-ish delivery into the stands, but the ball rushed on to him and took the splice, rocketing up into the night sky as Dawson charged in from the rope, diving forward to hold the catch. Once again, they have a look at Sameen's back heel and a potential no ball, but once again he's just behind the line 47/219.5 another fiery yorker, Bell gets bat on it to tap the ball to point, and takes on Andre Fletcher's arm from deep point for a risky second run to keep the strike. He's not quick enough, and he's got to go 157/97.4 so much for Talat, who sees a slow bouncer from Pollard outside off and tries to cut down on it, succeeding only in sending an edge through to Akmal, who makes no mistake 49/314.2 Hasan strikes! The bowlers have kept them quiet with a short-pitched attack, but this one was full and straight, with a bit of cut on it, and delivered from around the wicket. Delport made room, but the cut and the length took the ball past the bat and onto the stumps 105/415.3 and he falls in the pursuit of a third! The ball was full again, so the shot was on, but he just didn't time it as well as he would have liked, and can only get the ball as far as Riaz at long off 120/516.3 it's short - again - and Faheem pulls hard and high, but only as far as the fielder at deep square leg 131/617.5 will this one count? Yes it will! A fired up Riaz runs in and hurls down a yorker at 146km/h, it's too quick for Shadab and the stumps are shattered 143/718.2 and the stumps take another bashing! Offcutter from Hasan, and Samit aims an awful hoick at it, swinging past the ball and turning to see his stumps in disarray 148/8Extras11 (lb 7, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL158/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.9)Fall of wickets: 1-32 (Luke Ronchi, 4.3 ov), 2-47 (Sahibzada Farhan, 6.5 ov), 3-49 (Hussain Talat, 7.4 ov), 4-105 (Cameron Delport, 14.2 ov), 5-120 (Asif Ali, 15.3 ov), 6-131 (Faheem Ashraf, 16.3 ov), 7-143 (Shadab Khan, 17.5 ov), 8-148 (Samit Patel, 18.2 ov), 9-157 (Ian Bell, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3 and now he's got a wicket too! Kamran Akmal's eyes light up at a short, wide one but he cuts in the air and straight into the hands of the point fielder 18/15.1 is this another wicket off a no ball? No, he's just got something fractionally behind the line. But that was mighty close. Faheem starts just short of a good length and Imam walks out at him, slicing the ball high in the air and out to Sami, who holds a regulation chance 26/34.5 a second wicket for the teenager! This is a slightly fortunate one. The ball was quick, but it was on leg stump and Malan could have had runs, had he hit it a yard either side of the fielder. Instead, he tapped it straight to him, Samit holding a simple catch 26/211.1 the pressure finally tells! A flighted ball is turned into a full toss, and Amin has a full go at it with this slog into the leg side, but he can only get it as far as long on 58/413 another one bites the dust! Zalmi needed boundaries desperately, and Dawson was trying to find one. He bent low into a slog sweep, but didn't get all of it and picked out the fielder at deep midwicket to perfection 65/517 caught on the boundary! Pollard wanted a sixth six. The ball was full and wide, and the shot was on, but he just got too underneath it and the sub fielder - Salt - held his nerve and the catch very close to the boundary marker. Will that decide the game? 120/618 Musa strikes with his last ball! It's a full toss and Sammy loses his shape as he tries to power it out of the ground. The ball goes way up into the night sky, and the super-sub Salt is the one who charges round the outfield and holds the catch between deep cover and long off 134/719.2 caught at cover! Or is it? It was a low full toss, outside off, and Riaz thumped it to cover, where Farhan was hovering. The ball dipped on him as it got close, but he timed his dive forward perfectly and holds a clean catch. The umpires want to have another look at the replay, but that just serves to confirm Riaz' demise 146/819.4 Sami wins the game with a hat-trick! Hasan had to go for it. The ball was right up to him, a little wide of off, and he swung mightily, but could only get it as far as Farhan at cover. The ball went high, but it didn't go far, and Sami is pumped! 146/1019.3 big hit, straight, but not straight enough! Umaid has a go at his first ball, and he actually gets an excellent connection on it, but hits it straight down Faheem's throat at long off. He's on a hat-trick! 146/9Extras1 (w 1)TOTAL146 all out (19.4 Overs, RR: 7.42)Fall of wickets: 1-18 (Kamran Akmal, 2.6 ov), 2-26 (Dawid Malan, 4.5 ov), 3-26 (Imam-ul-Haq, 5.1 ov), 4-58 (Umar Amin, 11.1 ov), 5-65 (Liam Dawson, 12.6 ov), 6-120 (Kieron Pollard, 16.6 ov), 7-134 (Daren Sammy, 17.6 ov), 8-146 (Wahab Riaz, 19.2 ov), 9-146 (Umaid Asif, 19.3 ov), 10-146 (Hasan Ali, 19.4 ov)
