- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR17.1 Muzarabani gets the big fish! Pitched up just outside off, couldn't get under it and spoons it to mid-off, got the toe-end and Shan Masood gobbles it up as easy as you like and that brings an end to yet another classy captain's knock 164/21.4 Blessing Muzarabani gets him! Touch short on an irritating line in the corridor, tries to get on top of the bounce and upper-cuts it straight to Mir Hamza at deep third who pockets the catch low. He got plenty of purchase from the deck and that troubled him 16/118.1 Irfan Niazi manages to catch on the second attempt! Was that a no-ball? Very close as he manages to keep the foot inside the popping crease. That was hammered short on middle and leg, he went for the pull but didn't get enough distance. 171/3Extras2 (lb 1, w 1)TOTAL189/3 (20 Overs, RR: 9.45)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Reeza Hendricks, 1.4 ov), 2-164 (Mohammad Rizwan, 17.1 ov), 3-171 (Iftikhar Ahmed, 18.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.6 Gone! Tries to big over midwicket and doesn't account for the turn, the barrage of dots built pressure as he looked to pump him over the leg side, the ball gripped and turned sharply and rattled the stumps. That's excellent bowling. Uncouples the settled duo 75/31.3 Botch-up! Short of a length at irksome middle stump line, pegged back and he got steepling bounce, nudged to silly mid-on and David Willey hits the bull's eye at non-striker's end, Seifert is struggling, he put in the full-length dive but just fell short of the crease. That's remarkable piece of fielding which goes on to show how much of a difference fielding can make in any game. 6/13.2 Edged and taken! On a length and nibbling away in the channel, lures him to drive and he obliges, ends up nicking it to Usman Khan, everybody heard the edge and he doesn't even need to look at the umpire for confirmation. All smiles among Multan players 28/211.3 Cries of catch it and Jordan hears it, pouches it comfortably and gleefully at long-on! Wickets are tumbling, bat turned and he got inside half of the bat, he knew what was next and looked away, admonishing himself for a miscued shot down the ground, Khushdil making a noteworthy contribution from the ball 89/412.6 Googly just outside off, Rizwan snaffled that at extra cover inside the ring, tried to bludgeons that but got no elevation behind that shot and that brings his short stay to the end. It's all falling apart for Karachi. 99/516.2 Gottim! Over the wicket, intimidating bumper on leg, strangled down leg, goes for a big swish and tickles it to the keeper, loud appeal for caught behind from Usman Khan and umpire took his time before raising the dreaded finger. Willey is a such a canny customer, pulled his length back and aimed at his blindspot, making it tough for him to connect 124/619.5 This time Tayyab Tahir hangs onto it brilliantly, he didn't have to move much on this occasion. Was shortish just outside off, didn't hit with so much aplomb and has to take the long walk back to the pavilion 165/7Extras4 (lb 2, nb 1, w 1)TOTAL169/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.45)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Tim Seifert, 1.3 ov), 2-28 (James Vince, 3.2 ov), 3-75 (Shan Masood, 8.6 ov), 4-89 (Shoaib Malik, 11.3 ov), 5-99 (Leus du Plooy, 12.6 ov), 6-124 (Irfan Khan, 16.2 ov), 7-165 (Hasan Ali, 19.5 ov)
