    1.1 What a move! Bracewell produces the first bit of magic in this important contest; gets the prized scalp of immensely talented Saim Ayub. Around the wicket, landed fuller and spun away sharply late; undone by the flight, guile, grip and accuracy, 82 kph, he wanted to play an inside-out drive and missed it altogether. Bracewell is pumped up 3/1
    2.1 Slip is out. That looks pretty adjacent. Trapped lbw; prolonged appeal for an lbw and umpire took his time before raising the dreaded finger. Babar wants another opinion. Landed on a length and angled into middle, missed the forward dfence, pitching in line, impact is in line too and hitting the top of middle. Massive breakthrough and Babar's struggles continue. So both top-flight openers are back into the hut; dream start for Multan, couldn't have asked for a better opening 5/2
    13.4 Snaffled that superbly at wide long-off; pace-off delivery outside the guideline on off, he chases it and wanted to slug that away but hasn't been able to manufacture the requisite force and found the fielder to perfection. Important innings but it's a timely breakthrough for TKC; both set batters back into the hut. TKC looks despondent, he wanted to go on and inflict more damage 137/4
    7.2 Ubaid had provided a major breakthrough here! Slackens the pace, 122 kph, back of a length and shaped it back through the gate, pulled towards deep square and got the toe-end of the bat, straight into the hands of fielder who didn't have to move much, Iftikhar with a neat catch down his throat. Entertaining knock comes to an end; when a batter is in that mood, you just want them to continue 84/3
    14.5 Skips down the track and takes the aerial route; Iftikhar has bowled brilliantly, quick again on off, adjusted to the conditions quickly, he was down and wanted to hit straighter, bat turned and got bottom half of the blade, taken by Akif at deep cover-point, vital scalp at a key juncture 143/5
    18.6 Ball got big on him; well-directed short ball on middle, takes it on and pumps it in the air but has miscued it. Rizwan, who's safe as a house, pouches it comfortably somewhere around wide long-on, useful cameo 216/6
    19.4 Almost cleared the fence, fraction short and outside off, pulls it towards deep midwicket and finds Iftikhar in the deep who takes a comfortable catch. Excellent knock from Samad; proper cricket shots and showed his full-range. He has got a superb temperament as well 222/7

    3.1 Tries to go for a slog sweep again and he manages a top-edge, flummoxed by the carom ball; he cleared his front leg and was loading up for a ferocious hit but got it horribly wrong and it goes without saying, massive breakthrough. Safely gobbled by Luke Wood at mid-on 27/1
    6.5 Gives him more flight on this occasion and he takes the bait; drags it from the wider line on off and goes downtown, picks the tall man at long-on who stood tall and it's as easy as you like. Elation among Peshawar players, Yaqoob gets a pat on the back from Babar 63/2
    10.5 Drops it short and it spins away wide of off, drags the pull and gives a simpler catch to Saim at deep midwicket; difficult shot to manufacture, had to fetch it from wide of off and then target the leg side, Multan in deep trouble now 90/6
    7.4 The youngster has got the big wicket of Kamran Ghulam! What a moment for Ali! Got back to back of a length and didn't offer room, he wanted to slug him out of the park and hits him high o the bat, taken by Joseph at long-on, early departure for Kamran and look at that celebration from Ali. Fist-pump and a big roar! Multan need a big partnership, can't afford to lose more wickets 70/3
    9.1 Over the wicket, lands it on a shorter length and slants it across off, he disdainfully bashes it back towards the bowler and the young paceman has fast reflexes, pouches it after his follow-through moving to his right and pouches at his head height. This is a game-changer; got the dangerous customer out of the equation. Is it the case of dominating the youngster and not quite playing on merit? Well he got his second, went airborne in his celebration, he is fired up, typical fast bowler emotion 84/4
    9.2 One slip in place. I'm at a loss for words! This is extraordinary stuff from Ali Raza, what a statement on the big stage, showing his dexterity! Stumps shattered with a sharp nip-backer that clatters the stumps. He is seriously skillful. Back of a length and just back in a shade and nobody wants to let the youngster dominate, he wanted to drive it on the up and the ball just did enough to rip through the gate. Gives a lingering stare to the batter, what a find! He is on a hattrick! 84/5
    11.2 Slip in-tact. And he has got another one. He has got the big wickets. 145 clicks. Shorter in length and slanting in at middle, wanted to pull him over long leg and found Samad to perfection. Vicious fist pump and a very loud scream in celebration, brilliant running catch near the rope. Fourth wicket for Ali. He is on fire! 92/7
    15.3 Bowls a nice leg-cutter across off, smears him down the ground and finds Wood at long-off who hangs onto it brilliantly 107/9
    12.4 In the air and taken by icy-cool Samad at short cover. Tossed up on middle and gets it to spin away, tries to play jailbreak shot and can only force it to the man stationed inside the ring. It's been a collapse of epic proportions 95/8

    15.5 That is a sensational running catch by Abdul Samad! That was launched miles into the night-sky and Samad sprinted in from deep midwicket, kept his eyes on the ball as the ball swirled late and he adjusted beautifully! Phenomenal work in the field and that sums up the day for Peshawar; they have been stellar tonight and ticked all boxes. Babar looks relieved, smiles and handshakes all around. PZ are on the board with a thumping win 107/10
