- BATSMENRB4s6sSR8.3 Hangs back in the crease, loads up and pounds it hard back over the bowler's head but finds Ahmed Shehaz at long-on who hangs on to it brilliantly. 57/21.5 Edged and taken! That's a perfect riposte! Pitched on a shorter length, with a hint of movement outside off, he tried to play an upper cut, got a tickle and it nestles in keeper's gloves 10/112.2 Edged and taken! Ghulam is livid with himself as he threw his hands outside off, got flummoxed by the slowness of the delivery and it gets stuck in the keeper's mitts. That's a timely scalp for Central Punjab 90/3Extras9 (nb 2, w 7)TOTAL152/3 (17 Overs, RR: 8.94)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Mohammad Haris, 1.5 ov), 2-57 (Sahibzada Farhan, 8.3 ov), 3-90 (Kamran Ghulam, 12.2 ov)
