14.3 Faheem Ashraf made the ground quickly at midwicket and took a sprawling catch, lost his shape while trying to biff it on the leg side, hit him high on the bat and didn't get the distance, slinked back and went hard at it, didn't catch the middle and Faheem maintained his calm, charged in quickly and settled under the skier, making sure it doesn't burst out. A beautiful and a vital knock comes to an end, the platform is set for the likes of Powell and Haris to tee off and get to 200 at-least 131/2

7.4 Shadab Khan takes an absolute screamer at mid-off and United get the big fish! Wow, what a catch, one of the best of the tournament, he jumped like a tiger and snaffled it in the air, that was hit hard and travelling in the air before Shadab Khan just instinctively jumped and the ball stick in his hand. It needed a special effort to dismiss Babar Azam and this was special! Massive breakthrough and a much-needed one for Islamabad! He was early through the shot, not entirely committed and couldn't get enough elevation 72/1

15.4 Gone! Was looking for the yorker, it's a low full-toss and chips it to Shadab at mid-off who is safe as a house anywhere in the field, backtracked and reverse cupped it out of thin air, deceived him with the slowness of the delivery and Haris admonishes himself for that mistimed loft. A timely incision but still some firepower left in the ranks. 139/3

17.2 Obed McCoy gets his man, fuller length angling across off, tries to smash him downtown and hasn't got all of it, Shadab Khan with a vicious fist-pump as he gobbles another one with ease. Sailed straight into his hands, crucial strike. Obed is pumped 158/4

18.2 Yorker gone awry but that's okay, he smokes it downtown and it almost went all the way but once again Shadab Khan perched on the edge of the boundary hangs on to a superb catch. Timely incision 160/5

5.6 Good length, gun-barrel straight with a hint of wobble in, early through the shot and gives a simple catch to Babar Azam at mid-on. Looked ungainly, just got a bit carried away, he looks into the heavens and admonishes himself for that unforced error. Islamabad needed a partnership after an early collapse but this is an untimely wicket, it's only going to get tougher from hereon 50/4

0.6 Chipped in the air and Mehran Mumtaz pockets the catch low at short mid-off, that's a soft dismissal, lunging at it and going with hard hands, ball held in the surface and that is a massive scalp early in the piece 6/1

2.5 Saim Ayub, you beauty Yorked him and disturbs the furniture, he wanted to shovel him away to midwicket and got flummoxed by the searing yorker that sneaked through the gate, done his job with the bowl, that's why he was brought on to bowl in the powerplay, big smile on Saim's face, what a potent weapon for the captain, delivers in all facets of the game 20/2

3.3 Gottim with a beauty, pinged the off-pole, bowled a snorter on a length that turned away just enough to beat his late cut. He went too far away into the leg side and got stuck, Mehran is absolutely ecstatic running all over the place, superb piece of bowling. Islamabad United in dire straits and they struggle to weather the spin storm 21/3

10.6 Makes a mess off his stumps and off goes Luke Wood in jubilation! Huge breakthrough, length ball cutter and he looks to knock him over midwicket but got completely deceived by the slowness and the ball ripped through the stumps. He was crouching to work it away into the leg side but he pitched it up and slackened the pace, just zips through and smashes the poles. Islamabad needed his fireworks with the bat tonight, it's going to be an uphill task from here 91/5
