- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.5 Outstanding from Joseph! Searing stuff and through Fakhar's defences! Joseph responds to the last shot with one that's full and quick on middle, and there's just enough movement back in to sneak between bat and pad. Fakhar will be disappointed in his non-existent footwork as he looked for the drive. Gets nowhere near it as he hears that ominous death rattle 26/21.5 But Jahandad has the last laugh! Drags the length back, and angles it away from off. This one keeps a bit low as well as Naeem looks to drive on the up, but can only drag this back on to the stumps via a hefty inside edge 20/110.2 Beaten in the air and stumped! Hangs this one outside off and Abdullah comes down the wicket to smash him somewhere over long off but misses it completely. The keeper does the rest. 60/54.4 No such luck this time for Asalanka as Joseph gets his second! Hard length again, and it's quick too - touching 150kph - as Asalanka is rushed on his attempted pull. Ends up top edging a simple chance straight to short fine leg, who makes no mistake 36/36.3 Another one keeps low, and Lahore lose their fourth! This was a back of a length, but it's struck Farooq around just above the knee roll on his back foot. Was looking for the pull but gets nowhere near it. Looks to his partner on whether he should review, and ultimately opts against it. Wisely too, that looked plumb 42/418.2 Total chaos in the middle Length ball on pads, flicked to deep square, Haseeb looks to get back to the non-striker's end but loses his bat as he completes the first run. Sams had no interest in running that one. Keeper has a shy at the bowling end and Haseeb rushes back. He is well short of the crease. The buzzer goes off in the ground. It is a NO BALL 109/810.4 In the air and gonee! Length ball into the stumps which Shaheen tries to sweep but top edges it high in the air. Saud Shakeel, who is at slip, moves just a few steps to his right to complete a simple catch. Two wickets in four balls now. What a great start for Usman 60/616.1 Done by the (lack of) pace Length ball, into stumps, Sikandar goes for a wild drag towards leg side but is much, much earlier on the shot. The ball thuds into his off stump! Usman with his signature celebration 84/719.4 Brilliant catch Rolls his fingers on that one and angles it away from Usama. He looks to swat it over cover but mis-hits, Rossouw runs forward and plucks it cleanly. 134/919.5 Pace off again, in the slot, Rauf looks to whack it over long off but fails to hit it from the middle of the bat. Rossouw makes no mistakes and completes a comfortable catch. 134/10Extras3 (nb 3)TOTAL134 all out (19.5 Overs, RR: 6.75)Fall of wickets: 1-20 (Mohammad Naeem, 1.5 ov), 2-26 (Fakhar Zaman, 2.5 ov), 3-36 (Charith Asalanka, 4.4 ov), 4-42 (Mohammad Farooq, 6.3 ov), 5-60 (Abdullah Shafique, 10.2 ov), 6-60 (Shaheen Shah Afridi, 10.4 ov), 7-84 (Sikandar Raza, 16.1 ov), 8-109 (Haseebullah Khan, 18.2 ov), 9-134 (Usama Mir, 19.4 ov), 10-134 (Haris Rauf, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.3 Shamyl must be gutted with himself Full toss and the batter hits it straight to mid on. He looked to bowl and inswinging yorker but missed the length completely. Shamyl had been looking to hit Shaheen down the ground, but had been struggling to connect the ball. Mis-hits this one to Sikandar. 5/12.1 Saud is wandering in the middle of the pitch and he is run out! Fuller ball into the batter's pad. The ball goes towards the offside after hitting Rossouw's front pad and Saud runs for a single. Rossouw is watching the ball and doesn't move. Asalanka takes a shy at stumps and he is gone 11/213.4 Nawaz is out, just like that! What's happened here though?! This was full outside off from Raza, 94.5 kph. Nawaz gets an inside edge into his boot as the ball rolls back to the keeper. And he seems to have just stepped out of his crease in doing so. Haseeb holds on low and breaks the stumps, and a despondent Nawaz immediately realises he's out. Well, what a tame end to a fantastic innings 115/314.6 Too good for Chandimal! That's a vintage Rauf scalp. Back of a length, hits the deck hard and gets this to seam back from outside off. Cramps Chandimal for room as he looks for the cut, as this crashes into the top of off stump. Perhaps an inside edge as well, need to see a replay to confirm. 122/4Extras11 (lb 4, w 7)TOTAL138/4 (16.2 Overs, RR: 8.44)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (Shamyl Hussain, 0.3 ov), 2-11 (Saud Shakeel, 2.1 ov), 3-115 (Hasan Nawaz, 13.4 ov), 4-122 (Dinesh Chandimal, 14.6 ov)
