- BATSMENRB4s6sSR12.5 What was that, Shehzad? Slower one, breaks away wide outside off, Shehzad had shuffled across off, aiming for the ambitious scoop to fine leg. He had no pace to work with and was playing against the angle and break. He only tickles an outside edge to the keeper 92/28.1 Sanga backs away and holes out to Devcich at wide long-off. Narine spotted the batsman moving away and speared a shorter offbreak. Pitches on middle and turns away. Sanga aims to go over extra cover. Instead, he miscues it straighter and falls five short of a half-century. Nonetheless, he has given Multan a fast start 61/114.5 bowled'im. Tossed up, turns in, dips sharply, creating distance between the bat and the pitch of the ball. Maqsood has a hopeless swipe at it and collects fresh air. Narine hits the stumps. Lahore are clawing their way back in the middle overs 97/315.3 Malik dares to step down the track. Afridi digs it shorter and outside off. Malik pulls it to deep midwicket, where Sohail is a few yards in as opposed to staying at the edge of the boundary. He, however, clings onto this overhead catch. Joy for Afridi; his first wicket in this PSL 99/418.4 follows three yorkers or very full balls with a slower ball from the back of the hand. Look at the sharp dip on that. Pollard would do well at look away. He had no clue about this variation: he swung early to the leg side and missed it altogether. Sohail hits the top of off stump and celebrates 111/815.4 Afridi is on a hat-trick! Screeching inswinging yorker, 142ks, breaches through the defences of Whiteley, and barges into his castle. Whiteley was too late on that one. Replays, however, indicate it ricocheted onto the stumps off the pad 99/515.6 No hat-trick but Afridi bags three wickets in four balls. Just short of a good length and running away outside off with the angle, Badar looks to turn it away to the leg side. Instead, he spoons a leading edge to short cover. His figures read: 2-0-2-3. Masterstroke from Baz? 99/617.1 A mix-up between the wickets and good work from Baz at the non-striker's end. Nice to see that smile on his face. This was full and straight, clipped away more or less straight to Fakhar at short midwicket. He swoops down on the ball, then throws it to Baz, who is beside the stumps at the non-striker's end. He coolly collects the ball and breaks the bails to catch Tanvir short 108/719.3 Afridi wins an lbw appeal, but Junaid calls for a review. This looks adjacent, though. This was pretty full and swerves back in sharply to beat the inside edge and strike the back pad on the knee-roll. The tracker returns umpire's call on leg stump. Afridi's figures: 4 for 4 114/919.4 Whoa! Afridi leaves the stumps in a mess and claims extraordinary figures of 5 for 4. Another screeching inswinging yorker - a la Mitchell Starc - hits the base of middle stump as Irfan is so very late to bring his bat down. Afridi celebrates his five-wicket haul with a sajda 114/10Extras4 (lb 3, w 1)TOTAL114 all out (19.4 Overs, RR: 5.79)Fall of wickets: 1-61 (Kumar Sangakkara, 8.1 ov), 2-92 (Ahmed Shehzad, 12.5 ov), 3-97 (Sohaib Maqsood, 14.5 ov), 4-99 (Shoaib Malik, 15.3 ov), 5-99 (Ross Whiteley, 15.4 ov), 6-99 (Saif Badar, 15.6 ov), 7-108 (Sohail Tanvir, 17.1 ov), 8-111 (Kieron Pollard, 18.4 ov), 9-114 (Junaid Khan, 19.3 ov), 10-114 (Mohammad Irfan, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.6 Tahir is off on another furious celebratory run. Another wrong'un, tossed up and breaks away outside off. Fakhar goes against the turn but gets more height as opposed to distance. He skies a slog-sweep to Pollard at the long-on boundary 41/22.3 Sangappeal, and the umpire gives it out. Devcich reviews. He had given himself room, slashed so hard that he lost his shape, and ended up missing the ball. Ultra Edge detects a spike - this looks a like deflection off the bat into the stumps and onto the gloves of Sangakkara. The bails refused to light up but Sanga did amazingly well to ride the bounce and pouch it 33/14.4 An appeal for caught behind, not given by the umpire Robinson. Shehzad is so sure Multan have their man, though. Umpire Robinson asks Shehzad to review if he's so sure. And Multan do review, and there's a nick. UltraEdge detects it. Back of a length and angling away outside off with extra bounce, the batsman is bothered by the lift and feathers it behind to give Multan an opening 41/315.4 Badar finds some redemption with the ball but Baz continues to be the key as this chase gets tighter. Tossed up liberally and breaks away outside off, Sadaf aims to loft it away. Instead, he slices it to sweeper cover 94/4Extras1 (w 1)TOTAL115/4 (18.4 Overs, RR: 6.16)Fall of wickets: 1-33 (Anton Devcich, 2.3 ov), 2-41 (Fakhar Zaman, 3.6 ov), 3-41 (Salman Agha, 4.4 ov), 4-94 (Gulraiz Sadaf, 15.4 ov)
