- BATSMENRB4s6sSR8.4 the partnership is over! Slower ball, fullish on off. Wild slog attempted, and he's through the shot too early. Off stump shattered 68/110.6 huge appeal and it is given. Rizwan is crestfallen and looking into the ground as soon as this is taken, even before the umpire's raised the finger. No review for sure. This is a lovely delivery - it's jumped off the surface. On a length and across the corridor. Reaches out and has a chop at that and it's kissed the outside edge and flown through nicely. It's a second for Imran 83/218.2 reverse ramp goes wrong, and it's simple for Irfan at short third. Got down to this length ball outside off and was in good position. But it's a slower one from Gul and it floats off the top edge 181/318.3 yorker first up and lbw given! Charles has reviewed. It's struck him on the back leg as he's looked to slug this into the leg side. It was angled down leg, but seemed to have straightened off the pitch. His front leg was out of the way, the ball didn't have a lot to travel when it struck his back one. And that is brushing leg stump. Umpire's call. It's two in two for Gul 181/4Extras9 (b 1, lb 1, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL206/4 (20 Overs, RR: 10.3)Fall of wickets: 1-68 (Shan Masood, 8.4 ov), 2-83 (Mohammad Rizwan, 10.6 ov), 3-181 (Rilee Rossouw, 18.2 ov), 4-181 (Johnson Charles, 18.3 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR6.1 first ball wicket! Skiddy ball, angling in from off, and it stays a tad low too. Akmal plays across the line, but he's absolutely beaten by pace. Stumps clattered, and Imran Khan shows the name behind his jersey in celebration 42/25.2 slower ball, length delivery. Zazai cuts too early, and it's popped up for point to eat it up! Big wicket, Zazai is gone! 42/19.2 length ball on middle. Punched to long on, and they want the second, but Rossouw's rocket throw seems to have got him! Tanvir collects it from over the stumps, and Wells must make his way back. Umpire Dar was sure he was run-out but just went upstairs to confirm it 58/315.1 taken at deep square! Tanvir was brought on to stop the siege and he delivers! He had taken only one wicket in the tournament coming into the qualifiers, and since then he's taken four important ones. Slower short ball at middle stump, looks for the hook, can't get through it because of the pace off. Finds Tahir for a dismissal involving an average age of about 39 137/514.1 Muzarabani might have broken the stand here! It's a full ball angled into off. He looks to flick and gets a leading edge, taken by the keeper low to his right. Soft signal is out. And that looks pretty out. This should be the end for Powell. He closed the face early previously and got a leading edge over point for four. This one goes to hand. End of the partnership 124/416.3 they've got him! Tahir made this look so easy. It's only two balls but it is a measure of control anyway. Slips in the googly this time, at a length outside off. Rutherford swings across it again, gets a top edge. And Rizwan shoos point and short third away to get under this and hold on with authority. Tahir takes off, again 150/617.2 Rizwan leaps to hold on! Five wickets in 14 balls! Short of a length and rising outside off, clears the front leg and looks for the pull. Gets a top edge that balloons over RIzwan and he times the jump perfectly. They take a review, a hopeful, desperate one. One designed to keep Md. Irfan firmly seated. It won't change a thing 151/916.5 the slider hits the stumps and then Tahir wheels away! They were riding their luck the last six overs, but it's not often you can do that twice against this bowler. Length, quicker, splits the stumps as Wahab goes deep and looks to pull 151/716.6 add a third! The googly not picked. Short of a length and ripping in from outside off. Looks for the cut and gets an inside edge onto the stumps. Tahir sprints towards the dugout and pats his chest as he celebrates. Yes, Tahir, you've done it. What a bowler, what an over. It is Multan's to lose now 151/8Extras8 (nb 2, w 6)TOTAL159/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.95)Fall of wickets: 1-42 (Hazratullah Zazai, 5.2 ov), 2-42 (Kamran Akmal, 6.1 ov), 3-58 (Jonathan Wells, 9.2 ov), 4-124 (Rovman Powell, 14.1 ov), 5-137 (Shoaib Malik, 15.1 ov), 6-150 (Sherfane Rutherford, 16.3 ov), 7-151 (Wahab Riaz, 16.5 ov), 8-151 (Mohammad Imran, 16.6 ov), 9-151 (Amad Butt, 17.2 ov)
