- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.3 and the strategy brings a wicket. Excellent bowling from Dahani. Multan continued to cramp him for room, and while Fakhar tried to punch that through the offside, he only manages a faint edge to the keeper 17/23.2 and that's the end of the captain's innings. Strode across and looked to chip him over midwicket, but the Rossouw stationed there had the easiest catch after Sohail's miscue. Multan pick up the first wicket 17/113.4 Denly's stubbornness to slog for down the ground brings about his downfall. Brathwaite kept on sucking him wider outside off, bowls this on a fullish length on about eighth stump, Denly reaches out a long way for a mighty swipe but only manages to edge this behind to the keeper. 106/316.2 chaos! Samit had to sacrifice himself but instead Hafeez is left stewing as he walks off. Short ball outside off, chops this into the covers. In the 17th over, Hafeez was in run on contact mode. Samit is taking a long time to get the wheels turning in his innings and after tapping that ball into the off side, did take a few steps down the pitch before ball-watching got the better of him. Hafeez was almost at the striker's end before trying to turn back. Samit really should have just fallen on his sword but instead steps back into his crease as the relay from Brathwaite to Qadir is done without panic and he whips the bails off. Horrendous sequence to lose the incredibly devastating Hafeez in his current form. 122/514.1 instead of a slam-dunk, Dunk is slammed! Full and wide, tempts Dunk into the drive but doesn't pick the googly and spins away to produce a thick edge looping over backward point. Two men converge from cover and backward point before Afridi at cover calls off his teammate for a simple catch. 108/418.3 bounced out! After a pair of yorkers to start off the over, bangs it in short on the stumps and beats Wiese for pace on the hook, spikes a top edge out to deep backward square leg. Semi-theatrical catch taken staring into the sun, battles it off well enough to claim this on his haunches a few yards inside the rope. 141/6Extras7 (b 1, lb 1, w 5)TOTAL157/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.85)Fall of wickets: 1-17 (Sohail Akhtar, 3.2 ov), 2-17 (Fakhar Zaman, 4.3 ov), 3-106 (Joe Denly, 13.4 ov), 4-108 (Ben Dunk, 14.1 ov), 5-122 (Mohammad Hafeez, 16.2 ov), 6-141 (David Wiese, 18.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR14.1 miracle! Catch is finally taken! Short ball on fourth stump, Rizwan tries for another front foot pull but picks out Haris Rauf at deep square leg jogging in from the rope and takes a simple catch 10 yards in at waist height. Shaheen gives Rizwan a hug and a cuddle as a form of congratulations before letting him walk off. 140/30.3 he's got him!This is perfect bowling. The ideal yorker, the kind you only bowl in your dreams, but he's done Lynn with one. Wobbling in the air, pitching on middle, seaming away to knock back the off stump. Shaheen celebrates, and Lahore have made the perfect start 1/13.2 scooped into the air, and Samit nails his fellow Englishman! Top edge from Vince, and it soars into the air above mid-on, where Haris Rauf was perfectly positioned to take a simple catch 30/2Extras16 (lb 4, nb 2, w 10)TOTAL159/3 (16.2 Overs, RR: 9.73)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Chris Lynn, 0.3 ov), 2-30 (James Vince, 3.2 ov), 3-140 (Mohammad Rizwan, 14.1 ov)
