- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.4 Goes big downtown but has got more elevation but just not enough distance. Got a fuller one on middle, he takes a big stride forward and tries to clear wide long-off but ends up hitting straight down the throat of sub fielder Shahzad. The danger man departs 51/113.3 Prances down the track and Shadab bowls a legbreak on middle, he backs away and comes down and just spoons it straight to the man at silly mid-on; Saad gobbles it up gleefully; Multan's captain departs; pressure was on him to tee off but he wasn't able to clear the infielder on this occasion; it's not like he didn't try to go berserk but that's how he bats and there wasn't much bowled at his strong zones 116/218.3 Slower shorter ball just inside the guideline on off, squeezes it out uppishly to deep backward point, quick pick-up from Farhan and he chucks a sharp throw; Usman is well short of his crease and even the full-length dive can't save him, nicely taken by the keeper and he got rid of bails in a flash. Excellent innings nevertheless because it's a slow tricky kind of a surface but he went hard and tried to accelerate right from the get go 151/515.2 Hits the deck hard and brings the line closer at him, he takes him on and goes for a full-blooded pull but hasn't got all of it, straight to the man at wide long-on; it's Nawaz with a clean catch. Massive wicket at an important stage 130/317.4 Pulls his length further back and gets it to kick in scream off the deck, tries to pull and ends up feathering it to the keeper. It was an off-cutter, he lunged back and mistimed the attempted pull 146/4Extras4 (lb 2, w 2)TOTAL168/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.4)Fall of wickets: 1-51 (Yasir Khan, 6.4 ov), 2-116 (Mohammad Rizwan, 13.3 ov), 3-130 (Michael Bracewell, 15.2 ov), 4-146 (Iftikhar Ahmed, 17.4 ov), 5-151 (Usman Khan, 18.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.4 That's a well-directed short ball right at him and he tries to upper-cut but ends up feathering it to the keeper; excellent change of pace and he cramped him up for room. Long appeal for a caught behind and given by the umpire, ultra-edge shows the spike and that's a huge scalp! Exactly what the doctor prescribed for Multan. Usman told Ubaid to stay away from him but in all good spirits 29/110.4 That just spice up things a bit more as Iftikhar takes the catch gleefully at long-on! Doesn't get carried away after that argy-bargy earlier; that was floated up and he lured him with the flight, got a decent connection but not quite under it, done his job, superb knock 110/216.6 Fraction short and whooshing away in the corridor, tries to clatter it into the covers; Usman thinks he might have got a feather. Sent upstairs. There is a small spike when the ball was next to the bat and Nawaz is already walking off before the OUT on big screen 165/3Extras3 (nb 2, w 1)TOTAL171/3 (17.1 Overs, RR: 9.96)Fall of wickets: 1-29 (Sahibzada Farhan, 2.4 ov), 2-110 (Colin Munro, 10.4 ov), 3-165 (Mohammad Nawaz, 16.6 ov)
