- BATSMENRB4s6sSR6.3 caught at long-on and Multan are unravelling quickly here. He's been trying to hit them hard but not timing them. Skipped down the track to another flat ball, wanted to lift him straight but get sit off the end of the bat. The ball loops up and settles safely into the fielder's hands. 40/42.3 diving catch by the keeper and Maqsood has struck. Good ball, on a hard length and nipping away. Lyth goes to drive without moving his feet, gets a healthy edge that is travelling to Walton's left, but he pulls off an acrobatic catch. 19/13.2 oh that's mighty unlucky. Masood has been run out at the non-striker's end because Ashraf belted a drive straight, which Amir has got a touch of a boot on. Masood had no time to react and get his back back in the crease. The ball was hit hard but Amir reacted quickly by sticking his left foot out. Couldn't stop the ball, but ended up getting a better result. Messi couldn't have done it better with the delicate deflection - though that is not what Amir intended. 23/25.4 run out after a bad call. Rossouw has done himself in here. He's not been timing them at all, shaped as if to ramp that, the bowler wasn't fooled and bowled it full. He tickled it fine and set off for a run. There was none there and the non-striker didn't respond. Rossouw was halfway down the pitch when he turned around to try and make it back, but the bowler had enough time to run up to the stumps and break them as the keeper flicked him the ball. 36/317.3 he's picked out deep midwicket. Normal pace ball, back of a length outside off. Bopara swivels and pulls - times it really well in fact - but he's hit it straight to the fielder. 111/712.3 caught at deep square leg. Hits the hard length again, and he clears his front leg to get the space to free his arms. Doesn't nail his pull shot, and the ball doesn't have the legs to carry over the boundary. Sherfane Rutherford moves to his left and pouches it smartly. 80/516.3 caught at long-on. Moves across again, this time Arshad bowls it full. Afridi gets a lot of bottom hand onto this one, makes decent connection actually but can't get properly underneath it and it goes in a flattish arc to Hales, who takes it above his head, well inside the boundary. 101/6Extras4 (lb 4)TOTAL141/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.05)Fall of wickets: 1-19 (Adam Lyth, 2.3 ov), 2-23 (Shan Masood, 3.2 ov), 3-36 (Rilee Rossouw, 5.4 ov), 4-40 (Zeeshan Ashraf, 6.3 ov), 5-80 (Khushdil Shah, 12.3 ov), 6-101 (Shahid Afridi, 16.3 ov), 7-111 (Ravi Bopara, 17.3 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.1 caught at deep square leg. Imran Tahir almost dropped it, popped out of his hands but he caught it with his right hand even as he was sliding down with the momentum. Back of a length, Sharjeel swivels and pulls it hard. Tahir has to run to his right to make ground and he gets there, then holds on eventually. Smile on his face with ball in his hand as he ends up in a relaxed sitting pose on the ground. 19/116.3 caught behind. There might be a twist yet. Babar was giving himself room to thrash this through the offside, but Tanvir had bowled this much straighter, and he gets bounce too. Ended up too close to Babar and bouncing a tad more than he expected, and he edges it through to the keeper 117/49.1 another run out at the non-striker's end. Happened to Masood in the first innings and now Hales is the unfortunate man. Babar came down the track and bashed this hard at the bowler, to his right. Was a dropped catch in fact since it came straight to him, but he spilled it in the direction of the stumps, and Hales was out of his crease. 61/212.5 skier caught at cover. Strange shot-selection from Iftikhar, who has looked to be ultra aggressive this over. Down the track again, wants to go straight and over, but gets a toe-end that swirls up high. Well judged catch 90/316.5 caught at long-on. Full ball on the stumps, he made some room to loft this straight. Doesn't get it quite of the middle and he can only pick out long-on. Not perhaps the best choice of shot when you need about a run a ball 119/517.4 he's got him!. The change of angle, the mind games, they work. Tossed up wide outside off, tempting Rutherford into going for the big drive. He gets a thin, but audible, snick and the keeper does well to latch on. 122/618.1 direct hit from point and Parnell is run out. That was strange running from Parnell, he was just jogging. Good length ball outside off, nicely cut but straight to point. Imad has called him through for the single - right call I think since he needs to be on strike. Parnell just jogs across. The fielder takes aim and shatters the stumps with Parnell yards short. 123/719.2 straight down deep midwicket's throat! but it has brought Imad back on strike. Amir went for the glory shot, short ball dug into the pitch, not enough pace on it, Amir goes back to pull. Doesn't get a good enough hit and picks out the fielder. But the batsmen have crossed 135/8Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL141/8 (20 Overs, RR: 7.05)Did not bat: Arshad IqbalFall of wickets: 1-19 (Sharjeel Khan, 3.1 ov), 2-61 (Alex Hales, 9.1 ov), 3-90 (Iftikhar Ahmed, 12.5 ov), 4-117 (Babar Azam, 16.3 ov), 5-119 (Chadwick Walton, 16.5 ov), 6-122 (Sherfane Rutherford, 17.4 ov), 7-123 (Wayne Parnell, 18.1 ov), 8-135 (Mohammad Amir, 19.2 ov)
