- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.2 holes out to deep backward square leg! Darted into leg stump, and this one, much like a lot of deliveries in the last over, cramps Masood for room. He looks to get it over deep backward square leg but the lack of room means that he arrows it straight down Tahir's throat! Huge moment in the game! 85/119.4 straight to extra cover! Another slot ball outside off and Rossouw could have hit that literally anywhere. But for a change, he does not get the elevation he desires, eventually arrowing it straight to extra cover, where skipper Imad does the rest! 194/2Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL196/2 (20 Overs, RR: 9.8)Fall of wickets: 1-85 (Shan Masood, 10.2 ov), 2-194 (Rilee Rossouw, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.1 and he gets Wade first ball! What a start! Full delivery on off stump that spins back in sharply. Wade is playing for the straight delivery and is beaten as the ball rips past the inside edge and thuds into the front pad. Usama Mir goes up and the umpire raises his finger! Wade has a chat with Vince but does not bother with the review! 72/19.5 oh dear, what has happened here?! Back of a length delivery on middle and off stump. Vince tips it into the off side and sets off for the single, only to see that his partner send him back. By then, though, it is too late and Vince is stranded half-way down the track. Well, that was perhaps the only way he was going to get dismissed tonight! Take nothing away from his brilliant knock, though! 105/211.6 edged and taken! Khushdil piles further misery on Haider! Back of a length delivery outside off stump and this one hurries off the surface too. Haider has a waft at it but is late on the stroke. In the process, he gets a thick outside edge that is snaffled up sharply by the skipper! Haider is livid with himself; Khushdil and Rizwan are elated! 113/316.5 taken superbly by Pollard at long on! Slower delivery that again lands in the slot outside off stump. Malik looks to raze it over long on but the length means that he can't quite get under it. He arrows it towards long on, where Pollard dives forward and completes a sensational catch! Pollard enjoyed that one, so did the thousands at the Multan Cricket Stadium! Gargantuan moment in the game! 148/419.4 drilled straight to long off! Oh my! Another twist in the tale! Slower delivery on a length outside off stump. Cutting looks to fetch it and smash it over long off but the lack of pace means that he can't generate enough power. He arrows it straight down Pollard's throat, who gobbles up the chance with minimal fuss! 191/5Extras14 (lb 4, nb 1, w 9)TOTAL193/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.65)Fall of wickets: 1-72 (Matthew Wade, 6.1 ov), 2-105 (James Vince, 9.5 ov), 3-113 (Haider Ali, 11.6 ov), 4-148 (Shoaib Malik, 16.5 ov), 5-191 (Ben Cutting, 19.4 ov)
