- BATSMENRB4s6sSR7.1 Loopy delivery, hacked away behind square and that's suicidal running, second was never on, Wade puts in a full-length dive and is well out of the picture! Keeper does well to remove the zingers quickly 70/113.2 Spears in a toe-crusher and it wrecks the stumps! This is a perfect yorker right at the base of the stumps and too good for Vince who was late in jamming his bat down, Zaman is overjoyed, arms aloft and a sigh of relief for him, he has bowled his heart out today and shown his dexterity in no uncertain terms. A great assest for Qalandars! 124/411.1 Disturbs the furniture! Drags his length back and the ball just did enough to beat his defence, he lost his shape while loading up for a full-blooded sweep and left a big gap and it crashed into the middle stump. That's a crucial breakthrough 102/212.6 Keeps coming at the batter, that's a scorching bumper on a nagging off stump line, Haris and Hope are appealing for caught behind, the umpire didn't hear anything and they take the review. Malik cleared his front leg in a bid to crunch it to the covers, ultra-edge shows a conspicuous deflection and Malik takes the long walk back into the pavillion 120/319.1 Castled! That's a heat-seeking yorker that rearranges the stumps, you can't bowl a better yorker than this! Shaheen produces magic on the big night and nails his yorkers 176/5Extras19 (b 2, lb 4, nb 3, w 10)TOTAL185/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.25)Fall of wickets: 1-70 (Matthew Wade, 7.1 ov), 2-102 (Haider Ali, 11.1 ov), 3-120 (Shoaib Malik, 12.6 ov), 4-124 (James Vince, 13.2 ov), 5-176 (Ben Cutting, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.2 Gottim! The zingers are lit up, fast, skiddy and through his defence as Fakhar loses his shape on a mistimed pull and that's a massive wicket for Karachi Kings just what the doctor ordered, nipped back and it did enough to flummox him 40/112.2 Got him, unerring line on middle, a slower one, he goes for the pull, gets a top edge, it stays tantalizingly in the air and the keeper tracks the ball as it hits the bat, into the air and then gobbles it up. Crucial catch and an important breakthrough as Lahore look to break free 86/35.3 Irfan Khan Niazi plucks it out of thin air! That's a stunning grab at point as he hacked it away off the backfoot and Irfan pouched it safely diving to his left. Amir is all fired up and leaps in jubilation. 45/212.4 Another one bites the dust! Spooned it straight to mid-off and Kamran Ghulam has to go! These two wickets in succesion have put Kings in the driving seat. It hits the toe end of the bat as he tried to clear the infield, just didn't get all of it 87/413.5 That's totally befuddled him as Imad uses his cunning spinning methods to outsmart Talat! Nice bit of loop and teasing middle stump line, he wanted to slug that down the ground, the ball turned just enough to beat him and keeper does the rest, gets rid of the bails in a split second 91/516.5 Raza departs! That was a cutter on leg stump, he threw the kitchen sink at it, Tayyab sticks his hands out and hangs on to a superb catch under pressure at deep square region. Qalandars are falling apart 118/715.6 Tries to go enormous here and miscues the skier, Shoaib Malik, safe as a house, takes a wonderful catch at long-on, the move from Imad has paid rich dividends. It was slammed on the pitch and climbed steeply, he was not in a shape to whack that over the fielder 106/617.1 Oh my days, another wicket down! Karachi nearly over the line as Dawson miscues the skier and Aamer at deep square tracks the ball from the bat, through the air, towards him and then into his hand 118/916.6 That is just unbelievable, Cutting makes a roaring comeback in this over as Shaheen wafts and edges it through to the keeper. It was on fifth stump line and he tries to swat that away but the outside edge got drawn 118/817.3 Akif takes four wickets and Kings seal the game with a big margin of 67 runs, bangs in short and he top edges it to Tahir at deep third. A staggering bowling display from the youngster who was brought in for Andrew Tye and he rose to the occasion in this important clash 118/10Extras4 (lb 2, w 2)TOTAL118 all out (17.3 Overs, RR: 6.74)Fall of wickets: 1-40 (Fakhar Zaman, 4.2 ov), 2-45 (Shai Hope, 5.3 ov), 3-86 (Mirza Baig, 12.2 ov), 4-87 (Kamran Ghulam, 12.4 ov), 5-91 (Hussain Talat, 13.5 ov), 6-106 (David Wiese, 15.6 ov), 7-118 (Sikandar Raza, 16.5 ov), 8-118 (Shaheen Shah Afridi, 16.6 ov), 9-118 (Liam Dawson, 17.1 ov), 10-118 (Zaman Khan, 17.3 ov)
