- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.1 Sent miles into the night-sky and hasn't middled it at all, Mir Hamza gets the big fish and strangles him with a hard length delivery right at his body, Fakhar wanted to press his case and dominate him but couldn't break the shackles and Shan Masood hangs onto the catch brilliantly somewhere between long-on and mid-wicket. Covered a lot of ground and sprinted to his left, kept his eyes locked on the ball and settled under it 9/18.1 Adjudged lbw! Huge moment Looped up fuller, wicket-to-wicket stuff, gave more flight and it kept low, hitting his back leg, beating his slog sweep, umpire raised the dreaded finger. Review has been taken but it looks pretty adjacent and Rassie van der Dussen is already walking off, not even waiting for the final decision. He was done in the flight. Nothing on the ultraedge, pitching in line, impact in line and almost half of the ball is hitting leg-stump so that's that. 45/29.4 Ahsan Bhatti holes out to long-on! Hasan Ali continues to impress. Pulled his length back at it holds its line on off, ball sticks in the surface, and he lofts him down the ground but hasn't timed it that well, Pollard didn't need to move much to snaffle that in his big bucket hands. Lahore in a spot of bother as Karachi keep them under the cosh 54/312.3 Pollard takes a screamer at long-off! Bangs it on short of a length at a teasing off stump line, tries to smash him down the ground and almost cleared the rope, Pollard instinctively flicks out his right hand and surprisingly the ball sticks in, he flicked the ball in the air before going over the rope, then came back inside the rope and completed a wonderful catch. Jahandad takes the long walk back towards the pavilion. 90/414.6 Launched miles into the Lahore night-sky and hasn't got all of it! Flighted delivery on a fuller-length, slow through the air and he pumps him downtown, got the elevation but not enough distance, Malik who is safe as a house hang on to a good catch at long-on! 114/515.4 Hasan Ali keeps finding ways to outfox batters! Gets a huge breakthrough! Short of a length, whizzing away in the channel, sways away in a bid to steer it over deep third but hasn't cleared the man, an easy catch. Nothing shot in the end. Third umpire being called into action to check if it's a clean catch, fingers are under the ball and Aleem Dar makes a quick deicision, OUT on the big screen. Raza goes without troubling the scorers.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.5 Gone! Good length on middle, patted to short cover where Sahibzada Farhan intercepted the ball quickly and clattered the stumps with a direct hit at non-striker's end, Shan Masood had no chance to get back, he was looking good, crucial breakthrough for Lahore and the entire crowd goes berserk. He is not amused by Akhlaq's call but I don't think single was on 19/14.1 Has he nicked it?Gottim! Jahandad with a belated appeal, Hope looks hopeful. On a full length and whooshing away in the channel, throws his bat at it and nicks it through to the keeper. Took the review and Hope took a juggling catch. Massive deflection on the ultra-edge and Jahandad gets his man, crowd goes berserk. Karachi in a spot of bother 27/33.4 Ahsan Hafeez gets his man! Good length delivery that curls away every so slightly and pings the off pole, Vince stepped away to the on side, exposed all his stumps in an attempt to thwack a cut but ended up making a mess of his stumps. Hafeez is over the moon as Lahore have their breakthrough! 27/216.4 Pulled away in the air, didn't get all of it! Good length, angling in at middle and off, swings big but doesn't control his bat and Shaheen Afridi at long-off takes a stupendous diving catch. Malik got ruffled by the pace, couldn't get right under it and both set batters are now back in the hut. 143/65.6 Tremendous riposte! That's a stunning toe-crusher, too good for thee, the death rattle was sounded well before the bat came down, ball tails in at middle and Zaman makes amends by demolishing him with a searing yorker, arms a loft from Zaman and the entire Lahore team cluster together in joy 44/415.5 Is there a twist in the tale? He has miscued a skier, arms aloft from Shaheen who breathes a sigh of relief. Good length pace-off ball at a teasing off stump line, that hung in the air for a while, Rassie van der Dussen charged in from the deep at cover and lunged forward to take a sprawling catch. Big wicket 139/518.2 uff! Zaman nails a perfect yorker and rearranges stumps! This has got to be one of the best yorkers ever! Got it right in the blockhole and under the bat, smashing into middle stump, Daniel Sams had no answer to that. Brilliant Zaman Brilliant! 158/719.5 Has he dropped it? Haris at long-off has hurt himself while tumbling at the ground, that looks painful. He caught the ball and then tossed it away before falling. Ahsan zipped it quicker and cramped him for room, Hasan larruped it down the ground and didn't get under it, Haris Rauf didn't lose the ball so umpire signal it OUT, It's an unbelievable catch! Haris hurt his shoulder but made sure to complete catch! He has got an elastic bandage around the shoulder, hope it's not too serious He has left the ground 175/8Extras10 (lb 7, w 3)TOTAL176/8 (20 Overs, RR: 8.8)Did not bat: T ShamsiFall of wickets: 1-19 (Shan Masood, 2.5 ov), 2-27 (James Vince, 3.4 ov), 3-27 (Muhammad Akhlaq, 4.1 ov), 4-44 (Mohammad Nawaz, 5.6 ov), 5-139 (Kieron Pollard, 15.5 ov), 6-143 (Shoaib Malik, 16.4 ov), 7-158 (Daniel Sams, 18.2 ov), 8-175 (Hasan Ali, 19.5 ov)
