- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR16.1 Around the wicket, pace-up length ball outside off, drills it downtown and hits it flat but the required elevation and distance is not there and has been caught brilliantly at long-off, crucial breakthrough! Opportunity for Quetta to pull things back a bit, two wickets in quick succession but what an innings from Fakhar! He has single handedly put Lahore in a strong position and good signs for Pakistan as well to see him locate his rhythm, he is kind of a player who thrives on form and seems like he is in great headspace and runs under the belt always help 164/41.3 Troubling length, not that short, nor too full, attacking the stumps and asking questions. They're deliberating over a review again and want another opinion on it. Once again he is ruffling some feathers with his pace. Umpire has been challenged twice in this over. Nothing on the bat so we can proceed further. Missed the flick. Pitching outside off, impact in line and hitting the leg-stump fully so this is a pitch-perfect review! Brave call to send it upstairs again and trust the bowler. Excellent captaincy. 7/16.4 Gobbled at backward point by Usman Tariq! Dropped short and outside off, he hacks it away and doesn't find the gap, some respite for Quetta who were being thwacked to all parts of the ground in the last couple of overs 64/215.3 Pitched up gun-barrel straight and he misses the flick, looks pinned in front, no need to review and the umpire Ahsan Raza didn't have any confusion whatsoever in raising the finger, gobsmacked him with the yorker length 160/317.1 Pace is back. Over the wicket, length-ish and zips it back into middle, stays deep in his crease and pulls it in the air but not quite underneath it and Rossouw hangs onto it brilliantly at deep midwicket, undone by the pace 171/519.5 He is like a yorker bowling machine, yorker into the toes again, shoveled down to long-on and he is struggling to make his ground on the second, Alzarri pings a sharp throw, it's a direct hit and Shaheen gives up, didn't dive, walking off 193/6Extras14 (lb 3, nb 1, w 10)TOTAL197/6 (20 Overs, RR: 9.85)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Mohammad Farooq, 1.3 ov), 2-64 (Abdullah Shafique, 6.4 ov), 3-160 (Charith Asalanka, 15.3 ov), 4-164 (Fakhar Zaman, 16.1 ov), 5-171 (Sikandar Raza, 17.1 ov), 6-193 (Shaheen Shah Afridi, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.4 Around the wicket, pace is down and bowls it short with some room, laces a fluent drive to deep cover and Shamyl is in big big trouble! Struggling to make his ground, puts in a despairing dive and he is unsure! Reply shows he is well short of his ground and this is an unfortunate way to lose wicket! Crestfallen while walking back to the pavillion. He was playing with a lot of authority and class, 53 off just 31 balls and just a communication error brings his fall 88/25.4 Floated up on a length and keeps it wide of off, round-arm low action, goes down for a slog sweep and gets a big top-edge, swallowed by Usama at short fine and the pressure brings up a wicket, he wanted to break the shackles but perished in the process, good innings nevertheless 49/114.5 Well, he compensates for his errors as he thumps a short ball on a teasing off-stump line and Rossouw didn't want to halt his bullet train, tried to smoke him downtown and got a top-edge, unable to ride the bounce and get on top, taken by Haseebullah and it's another huge moment in the game! They needed him till the end, what a breakthrough. Time for a litle break to plan and gather your thoughts 149/59.5 Over the wicket, my word that leapt off alarmingly off the deck, took him by surprise, barely had any time to react, and took his hands up to bail out of the snorter and might have feathered it to the keeper, Haris didn't even look at the umpire and started his celebration, Hassan know she gloved it and is already taking the slow walk back to the hut. This is seriously good bowling, that's his usp, bamboozles him with his pace, review was taken and clearly there is a deflection off the glove, excellent spiteful bumper at his armpit, have to be spot on to the new batter 88/313.5 Looped up full again on middle, down on one knee and he tried to launch it over deep midwicket, bat scratches the pitch and he finds Shaheen on the deep, holed out and that's another vital scalp, his lukewarm season continues, timely wicket for Qalandars 128/416.3 Intimidating short one but he doesn't get intimidated, takes on the short ball and pulls it away finding Farooq lurking and perched near the boundary rope, reverse-cupping it as the wheels continue to come off for Quetta 158/617.2 Wide of the crease and nails the yorker to demolish his stumps! The sound of the timber, tailed back in and beat his ambitious swing down the ground, all too easy for Lahore 160/7Extras8 (b 2, lb 2, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL188/7 (20 Overs, RR: 9.4)Fall of wickets: 1-49 (Saud Shakeel, 5.4 ov), 2-88 (Shamyl Hussain, 9.4 ov), 3-88 (Hasan Nawaz, 9.5 ov), 4-128 (Khawaja Nafay, 13.5 ov), 5-149 (Rilee Rossouw, 14.5 ov), 6-158 (Bevon Jacobs, 16.3 ov), 7-160 (Brett Hampton, 17.2 ov)
