- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.1 Ibtisam strikes first ball! It was a legbreak, pitched full and wide, and Ronchi had a go at it, but could only slice a catch to cover 9/116.2 caught at deep mid off! Hasan has struck at a vital moment. It was a full ball, and slightly slower. Delport was too soon into his shot, and the off-cut took the ball across him resulting in a sliced catch to Dawson 147/47.3 has he caught this? Fletcher claims the catch! It was too short again and Salt pulled the ball very high into the leg side ... it looked like it might carry for six, but Fletcher comes charging around the boundary from midwicket, sliding into a catch very close to the boundary's edge. His momentum takes him very close to the marker - just a matter of centimetres - but he knows he hasn't touched it so he claims the catch. The umpires have another look, and it's clean. That is an outstanding piece of fielding 55/214.2 stumps destroyed! Riaz comes around the wicket and Walton walks across and bends into a paddle-scoop, but he's moved too far across, exposing his stumps, and the full one from Riaz shatters the timber 128/317.5 holes out to long on! Another important strike from Zalmi, cutting short Asif Ali's innings before he can really cut loose. The ball is short of a good length and he can't get the power he needs on his big hit down the ground 161/519.1 no communication! Riaz flings down a zippy yorker outside off that slips under Nasir's bat. Shadab calls him through, but Nasir's not listening. Eventually he sets off, but by this time Kamran's got the ball back to the bowler, who completes the run out himself 171/719 bowled him! Hasan comes around the stumps and fires in a full length delivery from a very wide angle. It's the angle, really, that does for Faheem, who swings across the line and is beaten by the inward movement. Both the middle and leg stumps are flattened 171/619.2 there goes another one! Full, fast, and Shadab swings right across it to depart for a golden duck. And it's a team hat-trick, after Hasan's wicket off his last ball and the run out 171/819.5 run out off a wide! Riaz sends it down well outside off and again the batsmen aren't listening to each other as they try to steal a bye. Kamran collects, tosses the ball to Riaz, and he throws down the stumps a second time 175/920 is this run out, or caught behind? Riaz sends down a full one, angled in from around the stumps. The ball zips through to Kamran, who appeals for a catch off the inside edge. The batsmen attempt another stolen bye, and Kamran throws the stumps down. But they'll also review for the caught behind. Replays show it was off the pad, so the run out stands 176/9Extras8 (lb 5, w 3)TOTAL176 all out (20 Overs, RR: 8.8)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Luke Ronchi, 1.1 ov), 2-55 (Phil Salt, 7.3 ov), 3-128 (Chadwick Walton, 14.2 ov), 4-147 (Cameron Delport, 16.2 ov), 5-161 (Asif Ali, 17.5 ov), 6-171 (Faheem Ashraf, 18.6 ov), 7-171 (Nasir Nawaz, 19.1 ov), 8-171 (Shadab Khan, 19.2 ov), 9-175 (Zafar Gohar, 19.5 ov), 10-176 (Mohammad Sami, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.3 collision in the field! Kamran backs away and plays much too early into the covers, the ball ballooning up and right between mid off and cover. Walton runs across from cover, Shadab from mid off, and as the ball comes down they run into each other. Somehow, amid all that, Shadab has managed to hold onto the ball and completes the catch. Fortunately, it seems there's no injury to either fielder 37/16.2 edged, and gone! Fletcher dabs a cut at a legbreak but he can only send a thin edge into Ronchi's gloves. It seemed to be a clear edge, off the toe end, but the umpire says no. Shadab immediately sends it upstairs for a review, and replays show that there was, indeed, a thin edge 58/28.2 appeal for lbw, and the finger goes up! Imam was reverse sweeping and missed the ball. It looked good live, but he calls for a review. The ball spins in and misses his gloves, hitting the top of his arm guard. Ball tracker shows two reds and an orange - for the umpire's call on impact into the stumps. And he's got to go. That's Shadab's 100th wicket in T20 cricket 69/39.2 sliced out to the cover sweeper! The ball was full, but angled across him and Amin just sliced under the shot to offer the substitute fielder out in that position a simple chance 71/411.3 stumped by a mile! Pollard jumps down the track, but this one was held back by Zafar and turned sharply to beat his attempted loft. Ronchi collects cleanly and does the rest. Zafar is pumped! That's the wicket Islamabad really needed 84/519.5 Sammy is run out! They chance another bye to a missed drive, and again the keeper throws the ball to Sami. He turns and throws, hitting the stumps this time. And Sammy hasn't grounded his bat! His bat was over the line, but in the air, and his foot wasn't grounded 173/6Extras23 (b 5, lb 7, nb 2, w 9)TOTAL177/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.85)Fall of wickets: 1-37 (Kamran Akmal, 3.3 ov), 2-58 (Andre Fletcher, 6.2 ov), 3-69 (Imam-ul-Haq, 8.2 ov), 4-71 (Umar Amin, 9.2 ov), 5-84 (Kieron Pollard, 11.3 ov), 6-173 (Daren Sammy, 19.5 ov)
