- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.4 bludgeoned to square leg, but straight down Tim David's throat!. Connected beautifully with a ball that was in the slot, and for a moment it looked as if it was going all the way. But the one man stationed there positioned himself nicely, and ends up taking a tidy catch 21/115.5 finally they hold one! Hafeez's experienced hands don't Rashid down, and this is trouble for Karachi again. Short of a length and sliding on outside off, cut firmly and aerially. Hafeez reacts quickly to his right and takes it 132/512.6 he's chopped on again! Guptill's been cramped by deliveries coming into him and the bowlers seem to know it. Short of a length, tight at off and middle, cutting in off the surface. Looks for the late cut and gets it onto his leg off the inside edge. Then it's onto the stumps. Unhappy with himself, he'd finally set himself up to go deep in the innings 109/213.2 lovely ball and a sharp catch! Wow, Hafeez delivers right away. Length ball pitching at middle and off, gripping and turning away marginally. Zadran is caught on the back foot, shaping to flick and then getting squared up. Found the outside edge. Dunk was already moving down leg side for the angle, but managed to hold onto to it with a stretch to his left 110/315.1 googly knocks leg stump! Length ball at off stump, didn't bother trying to figure Rashid out - stepped out and had a swing, and like hundreds before him, he missed 127/4Extras10 (lb 4, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL176/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.8)Fall of wickets: 1-21 (Sharjeel Khan, 2.4 ov), 2-109 (Martin Guptill, 12.6 ov), 3-110 (Najibullah Zadran, 13.2 ov), 4-127 (Chadwick Walton, 15.1 ov), 5-132 (Babar Azam, 15.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.6 that's really close, and the umpire raises the finger once more!. This time he decides against reviewing and Ilyas has his wicket. Tailing back in and struck him on the knee roll, there was perhaps enough swing for it to miss but it won't matter either way 38/113.6 Noor gets Hafeez off his last ball! He's driven this straight to extra cover! Full and just outside off, looks for that inside-out shot again, and hits it straight to a fielder again - this time to Imad at extra cover, who takes it comfortably 92/59.2 if that pitched in line it was out, but probably landed outside leg stump. There was also a run out chance at the non-striker's end, but Kings have reviewed the lbw. It's not lbw, landed well outside leg stump, but they get a run-out! Salman was well short of his crease 66/311.6 taken at slip! Short of a length and turning away slightly outside off. He wants to force this through the off side off the back foot and gets an outside edge that dips on Babar, but he's held on. Qalandars truly falling apart now 79/417.6 taken at long-off! Danish takes a smart one, sliding to his right to keep his balance. It's a slower ball, dug in short - sitting up nicely to be slapped. But David can't get elevation on it. It dips and Danish keeps his eyes on it going to his right. Abbas has managed two dot balls alongside the wicket of David 150/619.3 it's taken at long-on! Ilyas has redeemed himself. A low full toss in the corridor, Faulkner looks to shuffle and slug that over wide long-on. But he's lost all his room in doing so, and he can only get bottom-handed loft out to Guptill. This time, he runs in and holds on 159/7Extras8 (lb 3, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL169/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.45)Fall of wickets: 1-38 (Sohail Akhtar, 4.6 ov), 2-58 (Fakhar Zaman, 8.1 ov), 3-66 (Salman Agha, 9.2 ov), 4-79 (Ben Dunk, 11.6 ov), 5-92 (Mohammad Hafeez, 13.6 ov), 6-150 (Tim David, 17.6 ov), 7-159 (James Faulkner, 19.3 ov)
