- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.3 Another one bites the dust! Yasir Khan spoons it straight to Shadab Khan at extra cover, as easy as you like and Quetta in a spot of bother early in their innings. Yasir is absolutely despondent after this mistimed chip 8/20.6 Traps him lbw! Magnificent delivery on a full length and it jags back viciously, thumping his pads, he his late in bringing his bat down and Will Smeed goes back in the hut without troubling the scorers, no need to bother with the review, it is the plumbest of lbws. Farooqi has been right on money and asked questions on every delivery 3/13.3 Oh, that's a screamer! This was absolutely leathered off the meaty part of the bat but Mubasir plucked it out of thin air at deep square and all the fielders swarmed him in utter disbelief! Sarfaraz has to go, he thought he got all of it and is disappointed by his effort 12/316.1 Long-hop on off, he flexes his muscles and launches it, got the height but not the distance on this occasion, a regulation catch at deep midwicket but this has been a wonderful innings from the southpaw 121/55.3 Oh my word! Faheem Ashraf induces a false shot and it's the danger man Iftikhar Ahmed out of the equation, mistimes a pull to midwicket and looks like it's going to be a low-scoring match, nothing is working for Quetta at the moment. It's a sorry sight 17/418.2 Knocked him over! A fine innings comes to an end as Rumman fires in a toe-crushing yorker right into the blockhole, he can't jam his bat down and the stumps are disturbed. Rumman loved the sight and has a big broad smile on his face, that's perfect execution of a yorker 154/6Extras11 (b 4, lb 1, w 6)TOTAL179/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.95)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Will Smeed, 0.6 ov), 2-8 (Yasir Khan, 2.3 ov), 3-12 (Sarfaraz Ahmed, 3.3 ov), 4-17 (Iftikhar Ahmed, 5.3 ov), 5-121 (Mohammad Nawaz, 16.1 ov), 6-154 (Najibullah Zadran, 18.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 Slightly shorter, angled in and straightening down the line middle and leg, thuds him high on the pad, Naseem appeals for an LBW and the umpire raises the finger, Gurbaz takes the review. Pitching in line, impact is in line and the ball tracker predicts it would have hit the top of leg stump so the on-field decision stands. Early success for Quetta 0/14.3 Slower one again and Alex Hales biffs it straight down Zadran's waist who swooped to his left and take it like a bird catches its prey. It's a massive breakthrough, the ball was traveling and hit hard but sharp reflexes from Zadran have derailed United's chase. 52/27.1 Wickets are tumbling! And it's a massive one, tossed up, turning away outside off, gave a lot of flight and tempted him to go over the top, he gets the splice of the bat and Naseem sticks his hands out at short third! Quetta are right back in the game 96/46.6 Yasir hangs on to a good catch at deep square! Just when the partnership was looking threatening, Shadab languidly cracks this slog sweep and it goes straight to the fielder, no elevation and found the only fielder patrolling that region 96/38.6 That's needless! Umaid Asif hits the hard length and keeps it tight around the off stump line, he whacks it across the line off the front foot and Iftikhar takes a regulation catch at short cover region. 102/518.3 Twist in the tale! A well-directed bumper from Umaid Asif triggers a false shot, he went for the full-blooded pull, got the height but not the distance, Yasir takes a superb catch under pressure, tracked the ball from the bat, through the air, towards him and then into his hand. 169/711.1 Round the wicket, tossed up on a length and he is too early into the sweep shot, straight through his defence crashed onto the middle stump, was skidding hrough and Nawaz gets the big fish! 111/618.6 Belting catch from Odean Smith at long-on! The pace and bounce outfoxes Hasn Ali who stood tall and threw the kitchen sink at it, not the required power behind the shot and the fielder didn't have to move a muscle to gobble it up. This is getting interesting now! 171/8Extras14 (lb 5, nb 1, w 8)TOTAL183/8 (19.3 Overs, RR: 9.38)Did not bat: Fazalhaq FarooqiFall of wickets: 1-0 (Rahmanullah Gurbaz, 0.2 ov), 2-52 (Alex Hales, 4.3 ov), 3-96 (Shadab Khan, 6.6 ov), 4-96 (Colin Munro, 7.1 ov), 5-102 (Mubasir Khan, 8.6 ov), 6-111 (Asif Ali, 11.1 ov), 7-169 (Azam Khan, 18.3 ov), 8-171 (Hasan Ali, 18.6 ov)
