- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.1 Back to back wickets! Usama has his man, Fakhar lunges forward and goes for the slog sweep and miscues the skier, Akeal takes pouches it safely at deep backward square, he got the height but not the distance on this occasion, Qalandars would have dearly liked him to continue and he was set on the crease. Multan are applying the brakes now and Qalandars find themselves in a little spot of bother 125/47.2 Slashed to backward square and Usama Mir takes a brilliant running catch! he just chipped the ball, not much power and timing behind the shot, it carries to the only fielder patrolling that region. Akeal rejoice. 61/113.4 Zips it in quicker on a length, has he got all of it? No, he hasn't, lofts it over mid-on, tantalizingly in the air and Shai Hope got the elevation but not the distance, Kieron Pollard hangs on to a good catch. 119/214.6 Castled! You miss, I hit! That was an incredible hostile delivery that pitched on a length and did just enough off the pitch to sound the death rattle, Ghulam played all over it and got beaten by the searing pace. Ihsanullah is one for the future, he has been mighty impressive tonight. 125/318.4 Goes full and fairly wide outside off, he picks out Usama Mir at backward point and he didn't have to move a muscle to gobble it up. That was a good cameo from Talat but he looks despondent 164/519.6 Traps him lbw! That's plumbest of lbws but Wiese has taken the review, pitched up on middle and off, misses the flick, there's a flat line on ultra-edge and Multan Sultans players have already left the field while the umpire is still dissecting the lbw from different angles, it pitched outside off, wickets hitting, and the on-field decision stands. 175/6Extras11 (b 1, nb 1, w 9)TOTAL175/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.75)Fall of wickets: 1-61 (Mirza Baig, 7.2 ov), 2-119 (Shai Hope, 13.4 ov), 3-125 (Kamran Ghulam, 14.6 ov), 4-125 (Fakhar Zaman, 15.1 ov), 5-164 (Hussain Talat, 18.4 ov), 6-175 (David Wiese, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.2 Looking to go over short fine leg but gives him a regulation catch! He had been playing second fiddle and miscues the reverse. Lahore sniff an opportunity to create some panic and snap up a few more wickets 100/115.4 Knocked him over! Searing yorker, a cutter infact and Rizwan was a bit early into the shot and it crashes onto the stumps and Shaheen is celebrating with his arms aloft. This is an important breakthrough 131/218.1 Haris Rauf's aura brings a wicket! He sheds an important wicket with this immaculate yorker, the stumps have been rearranged and Miller takes the long walk back to the pavilion 147/319.2 Wide long on, long off, and deep extra cover on the fence and there are five fielders inside the circle...pitched up on off, forces it away to deep midwicket and Hussain Talat pings a sharp-throw, Pollard was struggling and the third umpire is taking a look. He is well short of his crease, was late to start and it's OUT on the big screen 163/419.3 Hit him close to the unmentionables, full toss dipping as he went for the pull, hits him on the pad, impact in line, wickets hitting and ultra edge confirmed there was no bat involved and the on-field decision stands. Usman Khan goes without troubling the scorers. Multan had this game in their grasp, they would rue losing wickets at crucial juncture and the spell from Haris and Shaheen completely turned the tables on them 163/519.4 Yorker that tails away late, squeezed out to the left of long-off, he can't make it back for the second run and is run out, Usama Mir gone for duck 166/6Extras7 (lb 1, w 6)TOTAL174/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.7)Fall of wickets: 1-100 (Shan Masood, 12.2 ov), 2-131 (Mohammad Rizwan, 15.4 ov), 3-147 (David Miller, 18.1 ov), 4-163 (Kieron Pollard, 19.2 ov), 5-163 (Usman Khan, 19.3 ov), 6-166 (Usama Mir, 19.4 ov)
