1.6 goes straight up and Meredith breaks through! Dug in short outside off and angling across the batter outside off. Shakeel has to fetch it a little and the ball also bounces more than he expects. Off the top edge and Hammad, at mid wicket, does the rest! 21/1

13.3 straight to sweeper cover, and Meredith is having a day out in the sun! Off-pace and dug in short outside off. Shamyl's eyes light up but he does not have a lot of pace to work with. Slaps it straight to Ayub and in truth, he could not have picked him out better. A top tone-setting knock nevertheless! 114/3

3.2 another splice and taken again! Hard length on middle and leg. No room to work with for Rossouw but he still tries to go down the ground. Shanks it tamely and Labuschagne, running to his left from mid off, makes no mistake! 25/2

15.5 oh dear - that is a terrible mix-up! Length outside off. Curran hops back and punches it behind point. Curran is hell-bent on the second from the moment he hits it. He sets off too but then mid-way, tries to send his partner back. Too late by then, though. Nawaz stranded half-way down and this is a lucky break for the Kingsmen. Ordinary cricket by the Gladiators! 128/6

14.2 Theekshana pleads and pleads, and Alex Wharf raises his finger! Reviewed by Nafay! Fired in on a back of a length on middle and off. Cuts in a touch and Nafay, trapped on the crease, seems to play all around it. Did he get a scratch? The quickness of the review suggests he might have. Nothing doing on the inside edge count. Ball Tracking comes up and it has the ball clipping leg stump. Umpire's Call, and Nafay has to go! 121/4

14.3 plumb in front, and the finger goes up again! No sense reviewing this, you'd presume. Carrom ball zinged in full on middle and off. McDermott has no clue about it and plays inside the line. Pinged on the back leg and there was only one place that was heading - into middle stump. Theekshana on a hat-trick! 121/5

19.2 pouched excellently by Ayub! Full ball on the pads. Curran looks to shovel this over cow corner and whips through it. Not enough elevation or distance this time, though. Ayub tracks it all the way from deep mid wicket and then lunges forward to pick it up inches off the turf. Brilliant cameo by Curran, though, and it has taken QG past 160! 165/7

19.3 a golden duck for Joseph! Hard length outside off. Joseph looks to muscle it inside-out but the ball pops up rather gently off his blade. Easiest of catches for Hassan at extra cover, and Javed becomes the second bowler this innings to be on a hat-trick! 165/8

0.4 Joseph has the last laugh! Shortish in the channel and climbing through. Ayub does not pick the line early enough to get out of the way and all he does in the end is glide it off the face of the bat through to the keeper. Ayub is disappointed; the Gladiators and Joseph, anything but! 9/1

1.2 Abrar with an early blow too! And Abrar celebrates in trademark fashion too. Zipped in very full on middle and leg. Sadaqat has a slog at it but cannot get under it. Arrows it straight to mid wicket, and Sadaqat throws his bat up into the air to express his disappointment. Gladiators have two wickets very early in the piece! 17/2

9.4 miscued this time, and Labuschagne perishes too! Crafty bowling by Shakeel to take out his opposite number. Slows it up on a length on middle and off. Labuschagne far too early into his lofted stroke and slices it. Shamyl runs in from long off and accepts the offering with glee. Kingsmen in deep trouble now! 57/5

5.1 nicked and gone! Dragged down just outside leg. Usman backs away further, trying to force it through the off side. The ball, though, seems to just skid through a touch. Cramped for room as well and Usman nicks it through to McDermott, who snaffles up a sharp chance. Kingsmen in trouble now! 35/3

8.6 Tariq among the wickets too! Slowed up and hidden well outside off. Fullish in nature too and Saad thinks he can slog this over long on. The bat turns in his hand upon contact, though, and he smashes it straight down Joseph's throat at long on. Kingsmen continue to lose their way! 51/4

17.6 McDermott effects the stumping on this occasion! Fizzed through on a length outside off. Niazi advances but gets nowhere near the pitch of the ball. Flays at it nevertheless and McDermott, keeping his eyes on the ball till the end, whips off the bails. Abrar, understandably, is delighted! 129/7

14.6 superb grab by McDermott! Banged in short and this is sliding well down leg. Hassan tries to just help it on its way but his luck is so wretched that he toe-ends it. That brings McDermott into play. He is moving down leg, though, and has to adjust his feet and his hands. Flings out his right mitt ultimately and makes it stick. That might just be that for the Kingsmen tonight! 105/6

18.1 simple catch for deep mid wicket! Slower ball on a back of a length on off. Hammad has a mow at it but the lack of pace means he only gets height on it. Regulation chance for deep mid wicket, and the Kingsmen are now eight down! 129/8
