- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 That's an incredible start from Quetta Gladiators! Naseem Shah darts in a brute of a delivery on a shorter length, that's a lovely line, with a hint of movement it draws the outside edge and through to the keeper! Wow! He was right on money and Wade had a tentative poke at it, playing away from his body, just trying to feel for it 0/116.2 Over the wicket to the righ-hander, banged in short and lures him into a pull shot, he goes hard at it, gets the elevation but not the distance, it went miles up in the air but Zadran was stationed perfectly for this hook, he tracked the ball from the bat, into the air and then gobbles it up perfectly. But what a fantastic innings from Rossington, he entertained the Pindi crowd royally with his clean hitting! 124/53.3 Naveen-ul-Haq pockets the catch low as Tayyab mistimes the slog and it goes straight to deep square, Tayyab Tahir departs after a brief stay on the crease, he was trying to get a move on and accelerate but got a tad late on shot, didn't come off the meat of the bat and just couldn't get much power behind it to clear the fence. 25/27.3 Shortish ball outside off, plays an upper-cut off the backfoot and he steers it to Naseem Shah at deep backward point and he takes a brilliant catch, tumbles to the ground but hangs onto it, Qasim Akram should have gone hard than riding the bounce and gliding it, he now takes the long walk back into the pavilion and is livid with himself 58/311.2 Gottim! Tossed on a length from round the wicket angle, he premeditates, puts on the dancing shoes and muscles it over mid-on, didn't get the desired elevation and distance, the veteran Umar Akmal is safe a house and he doesn't err while swallowing it up in the deep. You could anticipate the wicket was around the corner, dots building up and he was not getting any fluency in this knock 78/417.3 Timber! A heat-seeking yorker right at the base of leg-stump, you can't bowl a better yorker than that as James Fuller departs after scoring five runs. This is where Naseem, Haris, and Shaheen have been amazing in this PSL. 131/6Extras9 (b 1, lb 2, w 6)TOTAL164/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.2)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Matthew Wade, 0.1 ov), 2-25 (Tayyab Tahir, 3.3 ov), 3-58 (Qasim Akram, 7.3 ov), 4-78 (Shoaib Malik, 11.2 ov), 5-124 (Adam Rossington, 16.2 ov), 6-131 (James Fuller, 17.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.4 Yamin strikes! Full and swinging back into the batsman, he gets the toe-end of the bat and Shoaib Malik runs back at mid-off and pouches it safely. Exactly what the doctor prescribed for Kings who are a few runs short so they needed an early wicket 14/14.6 Musa gobbles up an absolute screamer! Short, skiddy, outside off bounces on shoulder height and he pounds it back to the bowler, excellent caught and bowl! 37/26.6 Slows the pace down, nicely tossed up on middle and cramps him for room, he was rooted back in his crease and couldn't work that away to the on side while rising with bounce. Iftikhar takes the review. There is no bat involved, pitching in line, impact in line and it would have crashed the middle stump, hits him plumb in front of the stumps. That's a massive breakthrough 48/38.1 Looked like he got all of it but not to be! Tossed up on a length on off, he rocks back and lofts it in the air, Tayyab Tahir settles under the skier and hangs on to it brilliantly. Shamsi is ecstatic, it's his last game before he returns to South Africa and he wants to finish the tournament on a high 50/49.5 Bagged by Shoaib Malik at short midwicket! Shorter delivery, got big on him, he was camped deep in the crease, went for the pull and got the height but not the distance, not easy catching under lights but Malik seldom drops these skiers. Crucial breakthrough for Kings 63/519.2 Cutter on a length and he chalks it to the left of the bowler, terrible mix-up and Sarfaraz sacrifices his wicket, keeps running at the striker's end as Yamin hits the bull's eye. Lots of drama. Could there be a super over? 158/6Extras6 (b 1, lb 1, w 4)TOTAL168/6 (19.5 Overs, RR: 8.47)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Omair Yousuf, 1.4 ov), 2-37 (Mohammad Nawaz, 4.6 ov), 3-48 (Iftikhar Ahmed, 6.6 ov), 4-50 (Najibullah Zadran, 8.1 ov), 5-63 (Umar Akmal, 9.5 ov), 6-158 (Sarfaraz Ahmed, 19.2 ov)
