- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.3 fullish, on middle. Slightly slower, and he mistimes the back-foot defensive shot to midwicket. They scamper for one, but the fielder takes an aim, and hits the stumps at the bowler's end! Is Ayub out? If he isn't then it's four overthrows because the ball went to the boundary. But replays show he's just short! The dive doesn't save Ayub, and Rutherford's excellent fielding effort has earned Peshawar Zalmi a breakthrough 48/22.1 length ball, outside off, tries to cut. But doesn't time it well, and popped into point's hand. Delport fails, a rarity in the PSL 15/110.2 full and clobbered over point... but picks out the man running in! Wahab bags du Plessis to end a useful Gladiators stand. Room to free the arms but it was a cutter and he ended up slicing the shot, Mujeeb pouched it safely to end du Plessis' first run-out in PSL6 88/318.6 slugged down the ground, taken at long-on! Wahab ends with a wicket, but it is his opposite number running off his with bat raised to the crowd! Didn't get the elevation, but a fine knock from Sarfaraz... enough to make Quetta the first team to win batting first this season?? 193/419.1 slogged straight up, and brilliantly taken on the dive by Tom Kohler-Cadmore! He had to do plenty to get into position from mid-on, it was coming down with snow on it, but he clutched the catch and that's two in two for Zalmi 193/519.2 bowled 'im first ball! Team hat-trick for Peshawar, as Cutting has leg stump removed aiming a hack across the line... Straight and with pace off from Saqib, does the business 193/619.5 slower ball, mistimed towards mid-off! Nawaz is through his shot early and chips it high, dropping safely into the hands of Kohler-Cadmore, a much simpler catch this time. Three in five balls for Saqib 196/7Extras8 (b 2, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL198/7 (20 Overs, RR: 9.9)Fall of wickets: 1-15 (Cameron Delport, 2.1 ov), 2-48 (Saim Ayub, 6.3 ov), 3-88 (Faf du Plessis, 10.2 ov), 4-193 (Sarfaraz Ahmed, 18.6 ov), 5-193 (Azam Khan, 19.1 ov), 6-193 (Ben Cutting, 19.2 ov), 7-196 (Mohammad Nawaz, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.2 bowled him with a skidder! Imam stepped out and Zahid dragged it down in response, straightening on leg stump and slides under a cross-batted swipe to rattle the timbers! Takes the fielders out of the equation, and breaks the Zalmi stand 79/32.4 change of angle works! Goes around the stumps, offers a ball wide outside off. And he slices a cut straight to deep point. What's even better is that the fielder moved to that position just this ball. Finally a bad performance from a wicketkeeper tonight after the entertainment from Rizwan, Sarfaraz and Azam 13/13.6 the long over ends with a wicket! All those extra deliveries pay off for Steyn. Length ball, wide outside off. Kohler-Cadmore reaches out, tries to cut, and ends up slicing it instead. In the air, and Delport runs behind from point to take a sliding catch 27/214.1 pace off and he flubs to mid-off! Up towards the blockhole, loopy cutter from Steyn and Haider is through his shot, comes off the toe towards the edge of the ring, where Faf du Plessis bags it and tags it. The Steyn remover works for Quetta 131/415.5 pinned in front! Cutting skids one into Malik's pads and umpire Illingworth gives it straight away. Malik reviews, he has too, but the equation is against him, just needs to be clipping - and it is! Top of leg stump, after thumping the knee roll, and Malik is gone! 145/519.1 uproots leg stump! The Gladiators hit back at the death, Wahab dispatched by a searing yorker! Hasnain punches the air, though it's a tad forlorn. Wahab's job is done 193/619.2 thumped into the covers and Rutherford is running regardless... Mahmood run out at the non-striker's end! He started, he stopped, having picked out the man, and then wasn't even in the frame. But they have got Rutherford at the right end 193/7Extras14 (lb 1, nb 1, w 12)TOTAL202/7 (19.3 Overs, RR: 10.35)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Kamran Akmal, 2.4 ov), 2-27 (Tom Kohler-Cadmore, 3.6 ov), 3-79 (Imam-ul-Haq, 9.2 ov), 4-131 (Haider Ali, 14.1 ov), 5-145 (Shoaib Malik, 15.5 ov), 6-193 (Wahab Riaz, 19.1 ov), 7-193 (Saqib Mahmood, 19.2 ov)
