    0.3 a duck! Third ball gets the wicket. Not a great start for United in their first ever match batting first after winning the toss. Full, on off. Moving away after hitting the pitch. Khawaja wants to flick it through midwicket, but it takes an edge, and straight to the keeper diving to his left 0/1
    3.4 cutter, fullish outside off but zipping in after hitting the deck. Munro tries to defend but the ball jags in and hits the front pad. LBW appeal is given out! Faulkner's skills to the fore, and that's a second wicket for him today. Just one doubt whether the ball jagged in too much, and may have missed leg stump, but Munro does not bother reviewing 13/3
    1.4 lbw twice in two overs! And this time Nazir's not reviewing, Munro says don't take it, and Faulker has not overstepped either. Full on middle. Moving in slightly, and he misses the cross-batted flick. Hits the front leg, and that is probably crashing into leg stump. Out for 1 4/2
    5.5 full on middle. Flicked, and straight to deep midwicket! Another three-for for Faulkner in the powerplay. There was just one man in the deep on the leg side, and Talat found him with a well-timed flick 20/4
    6.1 getting worse for United! Searing pace, fullish ball outside off but angling inwards. Shadab tries to defend, but it takes the outside edge, and Dunk dives to his right to complete a catch 20/5
    19.5 taken at long-off by Rashid. Ifthikar went for the slice to this full ball just outside off, and had his front leg cleared. But he could only send that up to long-off, where Rashid settles under it well after the misfield previous ball. Ifthikar gone for 49 150/7
    18.5 he's hit-wicket there! Rocks on to his back foot and goes deep in his crease while expecting thr yorker. But just as he completes his shot as the ball hits his body instead, his right pad clips the stumps. Not an ideal end to a brilliant innings. He's shifted all the momentum here. 143/6

    12.2 top-edged and taken at third man. That was short and wide of off, he went for the flashy cut while playing away from his body yet again. The ball flies off the top edge, and third man has it easy despite being pretty close to the rope. The game all in the balance now. The set batter is gone. 93/5
    5.6 full outside off. Down on one knee to sweep, but misses. Hits the pad, and lbw given. Reviewed after a discussion. Replays showed that the googly landed just outside off but turning in. Impact is deemed "umpire's call" on off stump, hit on the back leg, and Sohail is out of here! Spin does the trick, breaks a very important stand. Qalandars keep their review though 55/1
    6.5 fullish, just outside off, and tapped to cover. Ashraf wants one, but Fakhar correctly chooses not to run because short cover runs to his right to pounce on it. Ashraf tries to turn and return to his crease, but why bother when Shadab is on it? One handed pick-up-and-throw from the captain, and a quick whip of the bails from Nazir. Ashraf falls and that's two wickets inside six balls 58/2
    10.1 pulled straight to deep square leg. Goes short on off first ball, and Hafeez's eyes lit up seeing that. Went for the pull, and even timed that well. But perhaps timed too nicely to find the fielder on the fence 86/3
    10.6 given caught behind, but Dunk reviews. That was on full length and wide of off, angling away from the batter. Dunk went for the expansive drive while playing away from his body, as the ball landed in the keeper's gloves instead. Replays confirm a thin edge, and Dunk is gone. 88/4
    13.2 top edge and taken by the long-on fielder. He went for the slog sweep to this full ball on middle and off, and sent it miles in the air. Ifthikar at long-on had to wait for ages before it came down, and took it well in the end after running forward. More twist here then 97/6
    13.6 Shadab gives Rashid a taste of his own medicine with a googly, and Rashid is bowled. That was short of a length on middle, and Rashid seemed to be very early into his defence off the front foot. The ball finds the gap between his bat and pad, and hits the top of the stumps for another blow. Oh United, where have you landed? 99/7
    14.5 but bowled him now. Faulkner swings his bat across the line, and pays the price. That was bowled flatter on off, and doesn't turn much. Fawad gets good bounce on that though, as it hits the top of off. Qalandars' last hope is gone, and so is the game for them. 100/9
    14.3 run-out at the non-striker's end. Shaheen went for the reverse-sweep first ball to this full delivery on middle and off, but doesn't get enough bat as the ball goes to point. The throw arrives at the non-striker's as there's a mix-up between the batters with Faulkner wanting the strike. Shaheen is late to move, and is short despite the dive 100/8

    18.2 taken on the jump at long-on, and that's game over. A brilliant catch on the edge of the boundary in a tense situation. That was a full delivery on off, which Haris saw as a golden opportunity to swing for six, but he doesn't get it off the middle. And after those crucial runs, Ifthikar leaps on the fence to finish off the game for his side 124/10
