- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.4 Saim miscuses the skier! Dug in short and he went for the pull, smiting him high into the Lahore night but not quite getting far enough, got toe-end of the bat and he looks despondent with his shot as Faheem pouches it safely at mid-on 60/112.6 Hits him plumb in front of the stumps, was looking to defend at it and got beaten comprehensively, can't flick that away and Ahsan Raza has raised the dreaded finger and this is a massive breakthrough! Lobbed up and didn't turn much on this occasion as Babar tried to work that away off his pads, it bounced a little more than what he anticipated, straightforward decision for the on-field umpire and he doesn't even bother to review it 137/38.4 Stumped! It has been sent upstairs but looks like Shadab has outfoxed Haseebullah with a tempting delivery, he was stepping down the track in a bid to cut that away and was quite far away from the crease, Azam Khan quickly whipped off the bails and the foot is not behind the line so he has to go back. The big screen shows OUT. Shadab has produced the first bit of magic on the big night. 96/214.5 Wasim at sweeper position gobbles it up like a bird catches its prey! Slow ball does the trick, he pitched it on a length and got it to seam away outside off, he chipped it in the air and the fielder didn't have to move a muscle to grab it. Just couldn't get on top of the ball. Another one bites the dust! 148/419.6 Meets the high-full toss with a whip through the leg side, didn't come off the meaty part of the bat and the second was never on but they had to run, can't make it as Azam lights up the zingers in a jiffy and Cadmore is well out of the picture 183/817.2 Pulled away in the air, didn't get all of it! Fingers rolling across the seam and befuddles him with this cutter, the ball went high up in the air but didn't get the distance. Mubasir Khan hangs on to it brilliantly 159/518.1 Jamal is left stranded in the middle of the pitch! That's a horrible mix-up in the middle as Cadmore whips this away behind square on the leg side, got the first run but then there was yes and no in the middle, nobody clearly calling for the second run. Jamal is absolutely livid with himself 162/619.4 Sounds the death rattle! A fraction shorter and scudding through, pinging the top of off and beating the wild pull off the backfoot 181/7Extras18 (b 1, lb 9, w 8)TOTAL183/8 (20 Overs, RR: 9.15)Fall of wickets: 1-60 (Saim Ayub, 4.4 ov), 2-96 (Haseebullah Khan, 8.4 ov), 3-137 (Babar Azam, 12.6 ov), 4-148 (Mohammad Haris, 14.5 ov), 5-159 (James Neesham, 17.2 ov), 6-162 (Aamer Jamal, 18.1 ov), 7-181 (Azmatullah Omarzai, 19.4 ov), 8-183 (Tom Kohler-Cadmore, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.2 And he gets a wicket immediately! That's a brutal shortish delivery on the body, he got himself in a tangle and left the hanging willow, outside edge flies to short third who swallows it down his throat. Smart captaincy! 13/116.1 Castled! Stumps are all over the place, spears in the yorker right into the blockhole and lights up the zingers. What an incredible delivery! Jamal is on fire! Is this the game for Zalmi? Jamal has absolutely bamboozled Hales here and he is spitting fire 137/414.1 Wrecked the stumps! Jamal gets the big fish as he goes for the wild slog but it was pitched up and fizzing through and Jamal lets out an almighty roar! Middle and off stumps have been flattened, what a sight for the bowler, contrasting emotions on Sohaib's face though 128/215.4 Gottim! Oh, this is a massive breakthrough for Zalmi as Azam gets beaten for pace, brought his bat down but it was way too late as the ball deflects off the pad to the stumps and Irshad is pumped up! Absolute jaffa and the man in form is taking the long walk back to the pavilion 133/318.3 Irshad strikes! He is deceived by the slowness of the ball as he is through the shot way too early and ends up chopping it back onto the stumps. Going from bad to worse! Irshad can do no wrong today, can he? 154/616.4 Shimmies down the leg, Jamal follows him, cramps his for room outside off, he tentatively pokes at it, Jamal is in action again, hurtles to the ball and pings a sharp throw at the non-striker's end, the zingers are off as Faheem stood in the middle of the pitch, the loneliest anyone has ever been on a cricket field. A sad sight of the game, belated attempt to run to the other end, without his bat, knowing deep down that every step was futile. 142/5Extras7 (lb 7)TOTAL171/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.55)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Rahmanullah Gurbaz, 1.2 ov), 2-128 (Sohaib Maqsood, 14.1 ov), 3-133 (Azam Khan, 15.4 ov), 4-137 (Alex Hales, 16.1 ov), 5-142 (Faheem Ashraf, 16.4 ov), 6-154 (Colin Munro, 18.3 ov)
