- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.3 chops the slower ball onto his stumps! 79mph/127kph, offcutter, and Usman attempted to run it away past short third with an open face. He gave himself some room outside his leg stump, but that only meant his bottom-edged steer diverted ball into timber. Rauf roars in celebration. 53/112.6 WRONG-UN! Glorious bowling, albeit down to a predictable shot. Rizwan was always going to heave to leg, so Rashid darts in a googly that disrupts the stumps 90/310.1 GONE! No sooner had Rossouw reached 400 for the tournament, he tries to boom a slower ball from Zaman over long on and holes out to Rauf! Big wicket for Lahore... 70/219.2 CARTHWEELING STUMP ALERT! Quick, perfect length and off stump is taken for a walk! Stunning bowling from Rauf ends Pollard's vital innings. At 154kph, it's the quickest delivery of the match so far 155/419.3 ANOTHER! Change to around the wicket, but it's the same piece of wood gone for walkies. Right through the left-hander and leg stump is out of the ground 155/5Extras5 (lb 1, w 4)TOTAL160/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8)Fall of wickets: 1-53 (Usman Khan, 7.3 ov), 2-70 (Rilee Rossouw, 10.1 ov), 3-90 (Mohammad Rizwan, 12.6 ov), 4-155 (Kieron Pollard, 19.2 ov), 5-155 (Khushdil Shah, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 Revenge! Quicker, fuller and enticing a huge swipe from Baig who gets a thick edge through to Rizwan 15/13.5 HUGE! Anwar Ali, you beauty! He'd tried a leg cutter earlier in the over, but this one is a bit more seam up and cuts through the left-hander to trim the bail on top of middle and off. What a delivery. What a moment. 19/32.4 SALUTES OUTx2! Cottrell gets another! Shafique trapped well in front, head falling over to the offside as this one pitches and comes into the pads. The batter reviews but it's hitting halfway up middle and leg 15/210.5 swung into the leg side... straight down Cottrell's throat! 93mph/149kph, Billings looked to pull a good-length ball over the man on the rope but picked him out perfectly. Multan are inching closer to a third straight final 49/74.5 QALANDARS REELING! Shaheen's promotion is over. A full toss from Cottrell entices a big shot but the shape is enough to draw a thick outside edge, leading to a smartly taken catch by Usman Mir at cover 28/49.1 Scampered single into point leads to a direct hit! They're checking this upstairs but Talat seems resigned to his fate... and yep, he's so very out. Doesn't even try to run his bat in. Great work from Usman Khan who had just one stump to aim at 41/59.5 STUNNING CATCH! Abbas Afridi, take a bow. Raza hits this high into the night sky and Abbas is scampering to his left from wide fine leg. For a moment, it looked like there would be a collision between two fielders, but Abbas shouts loudest and then takes an exceptional catch tumbling forward. That's game, surely... 43/613.5 smashed on the pad, no inside edge this time! Wiese reviews, out of hope rather than expectation. Length ball, a googly which skids through lowish and thumps Wiese on his right thigh as he shapes to swing over midwicket. Hitting the top of middle-and-leg, and Multan are one away! 76/911.2 leggie gets leggie! Rashid gets his dancing shoes on, but it seems as though he has two left feet. He tries to swing a back-of-a-length ball over the leg side for six, but is nowhere near the ball and is stranded a long way short of his crease. Rizwan takes the ball at head height, and after a bit of a delay, the TV umpire is confident that he collected the ball behind the stumps, rather than in front. That means Rashid has to trudge off, and Lahore are 50 for 8! 50/814.3 fullish outside off, Haris swings for the hills and gets a thin outside edge through to Rizwan, and that will be that. Multan win by 84, and head into their third consecutive PSL final! 76/10Extras11 (b 4, lb 1, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL76 all out (14.3 Overs, RR: 5.24)Fall of wickets: 1-15 (Mirza Baig, 2.2 ov), 2-15 (Abdullah Shafique, 2.4 ov), 3-19 (Fakhar Zaman, 3.5 ov), 4-28 (Shaheen Shah Afridi, 4.5 ov), 5-41 (Hussain Talat, 9.1 ov), 6-43 (Sikandar Raza, 9.5 ov), 7-49 (Sam Billings, 10.5 ov), 8-50 (Rashid Khan, 11.2 ov), 9-76 (David Wiese, 13.5 ov), 10-76 (Haris Rauf, 14.3 ov)
