- BATSMENRB4s6sSR8.5 Babar's run out! Bullet throw from Samit. Livingstone nudged to his left at short third man, and they chanced a single, but Samit was in in a flash and threw down the stumps directly 46/40.3 Has Munro fallen to the very first ball he faces in PSL? It looks like it! The ball is on a length, and he picks it up cleanly over the leg side - but a little too cleanly! Hussain Talat is positioned at deep backward square leg, he runs across the boundary and then dives forward to hold a very low catch. The umpires check to see if it's clean, and it looks like it 1/13.2 caught at short fine leg! Another bumper from Musa, and this one rushes Zia, who can only send a tame top edge to Samit Patel at short fine 19/24.3 pulled, spliced, caught! It was a little short again from Faheem, and Ingram pulled in the air but hit the ball too high on the bat, mid on peddles back and holds the catch 25/313.4 pace or none, Faheem has struck! He angled this delivery back in to the right hander, who was looking to just run it down but inside edged the ball onto his own stumps 74/513.5 and another! Mirror image of the last dismissal! Faheem hits a length and Imad is a little late on his attempted dab to third man, edging the ball onto his own stumps. And Faheem is on a hat-trick! 74/6Extras2 (lb 1, w 1)TOTAL143/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.15)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Colin Munro, 0.3 ov), 2-19 (Awais Zia, 3.2 ov), 3-25 (Colin Ingram, 4.3 ov), 4-46 (Babar Azam, 8.5 ov), 5-74 (Liam Livingstone, 13.4 ov), 6-74 (Imad Wasim, 13.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.5 too tight for the single! Delport was itching to get off the mark, and set off after nudging the ball to Munro at mid on. But the fielder is in quickly and the throw is accurate 5/18.5 through the gate! Farhan is back when he should have been forward, whipping across his pads to one that drifts in to bowl him. Classic Imad dismissal 85/29 two in two! Talat skips out to his first ball, it drifts past his outside edge, and he's easily stumped 85/3Extras5 (lb 4, w 1)TOTAL147/3 (16.1 Overs, RR: 9.09)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (Cameron Delport, 0.5 ov), 2-85 (Sahibzada Farhan, 8.5 ov), 3-85 (Hussain Talat, 8.6 ov)
