- BATSMENRB4s6sSR6.4 An appeal for caught behind. JP Duminy and Islamabad think they have Fakhar. They challenge the on-field not-out decision. This was fired wider outside off, shortish, Fakhar goes after it with hard hands. Ultra Edge detects a spike. Fakhar feathers it behind to Ronchi. He has to go for a punchy 34. Fine grab from Ronchi 56/116.4 Sami runs back from square leg and takes this skier. Short offcutter, goes away outside off, Devcich can't control a pull. He only top-edges it hiiiiiiiigh and Sami judges it superbly. Two new batsmen in the middle. This Lahore innings has unravelled and how 122/411.2 tossed up and spins away outside off, Salman dares to slog-sweep it against the break and across the line. He picks out Farhan at deep midwicket. Relief for Shadab - only his second wicket of the season 101/216.2 Fahim Ashraf sneaks under the bat of Ramdin and hits the stumps. Ramdin beaten three times in a row, this results in his dismissal for 9 off 20 balls. Poor tactics from Lahore; they shouldn't have sent in Ramdin ahead of Baz and Narine in the first place. This dismissal might not be a bad thing for Lahore. Full and straight, Ramdin looks to slog it away. He loses his shape and his stumps 121/318.5 wide of the crease, Ashraf sends down another inswinging yorker, this time to Narine. He backs away, exposes his stumps, and eventually loses them. Top execution from Ashraf 149/519.1 141ks rocket from Sami, and it breaches through the defences of Sohail. This was the perfectly-pitched yorker, Sohail eyes up the leg side, but the ball squeezes under his legs. Oh replays, suggest the ball ricocheted into the stumps off his pad 150/619.5 full-toss on off, Baz slogs it away to wide long-on. There's a mix-up between the wickets on the first run as well as on the second... or Baz just stopped momentarily on the second. He allowed Ronchi to take the bails off and ensured he did not cross over to save his wicket. It is Yamin who has been caught short. Cheeky from Baz 162/719.6 Irshad forces it down to wide long-on. Baz hares back for the second. The throw is to the keeper's end, and Irshad has been found short. Back-to-back run outs to end the innings 163/8Extras8 (lb 1, w 7)TOTAL163/8 (20 Overs, RR: 8.15)Fall of wickets: 1-56 (Fakhar Zaman, 6.4 ov), 2-101 (Salman Agha, 11.2 ov), 3-121 (Denesh Ramdin, 16.2 ov), 4-122 (Anton Devcich, 16.4 ov), 5-149 (Sunil Narine, 18.5 ov), 6-150 (Sohail Khan, 19.1 ov), 7-162 (Aamer Yamin, 19.5 ov), 8-163 (Salman Irshad, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.3 Sharp offbreak from Narine, sharper catch from Baz at slip. This was tossed up on leg stump, dips, and turns away. Duminy plays against the break, and tickles an overhead catch 47/115.5 Ronchi holes out with Islamabad 13 away from victory. Short and skids on outside off, Ronchi lines it up and middles a pull but picks out deep midwicket. Rollicking innings - the joint-fastest fifty in the PSL 151/411.5 Shadab holes out to Fakhar at deep midwicket. Short on middle, Shadab can't get on top of it. He miscues it, Fakhar grabs an overhead catch. Useful hand from Shadab, though 134/213.3 Asif has been given out lbw by umpire Dar but he calls for a review. Length ball, turns in to beat the slog-sweep, and hit the bent back leg. This is pretty adjacent. The tracker returns three reds, and Asif has to go 145/3Extras12 (lb 2, nb 2, w 8)TOTAL164/4 (17.4 Overs, RR: 9.28)Fall of wickets: 1-47 (Jean-Paul Duminy, 4.3 ov), 2-134 (Shadab Khan, 11.5 ov), 3-145 (Asif Ali, 13.3 ov), 4-151 (Luke Ronchi, 15.5 ov)

Ronchi's 77 off 41 consigns Lahore to sixth straight loss
The result meant a brisk half-century from Anton Devcich and a late blitz from Brendon McCullum came to nought, and Lahore remained winless this season
