- BATSMENRB4s6sSR9.6 and he's gone! Finally some respite for Karachi. Tries to slap a short one but gets it slightly off the toe-end as it's a tad out of his reach. Skies it to the cover region where point runs to his right and settles under it 120/29.1 has that been taken cleanly? Oh, yeah! Seems like. Joe Denly with a fine balancing act at the long-on boundary! It needed a moment of brilliance like this to end this stand. Fletcher stepped down the track to a length ball but the delivery follows him. He goes through with the swing and chips it towards the boundary where Denly moves back, snaffles it reverse-cupped and nearly tilts over but manages to just about hold his balance 107/113.4 full on leg stump, again lots of bottom-hand power as he shovels it off the pads. Doesn't find enough elevation or distance as it was too full and he couldn't get underneath it. Deep midwicket runs across, slides to take the catch 150/411.6 chips it back tamely. Catching practice for Bopara as a length ball nips in and stops slightly on the surface to mess up the batsman's timing 137/315.3 Sammy attempts another one of his bizarre slaps. Whatever you call it, it's been caught at long-on. It's short and on the stumps and Sammy jumps up from inside the crease and just hoicks at it. Couldn't get entirely on top of it 169/515.4 complete miscommunication, results in a wasted wicket. Saad Nasim ends up sacrificing his wicket. He simply stayed at the crease and swung at one angling away from him. Missed and the ball went straight to the keeper. But Wahab was eager to steal a bye and ended up at the striker's end even before Nasim had any idea about what had happened 169/615.5 what's with this late rush of wickets? It's hurting their finish. Wahab gets a shortish one that has its pace pulled back. Musters all the power he can but his slap only carries as far as long-on running to his right for a simple catch 169/7Extras8 (b 1, lb 2, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL170/7 (16 Overs, RR: 10.62)Fall of wickets: 1-107 (Andre Fletcher, 9.1 ov), 2-120 (Kamran Akmal, 9.6 ov), 3-137 (Mohammad Hafeez, 11.6 ov), 4-150 (Liam Dawson, 13.4 ov), 5-169 (Daren Sammy, 15.3 ov), 6-169 (Saad Nasim, 15.4 ov), 7-169 (Wahab Riaz, 15.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.2 thick outside edge and this is a sensational catch by Sammy at first slip. Mukhtar's first outing in PSL is a very brief one. He looked to hoick this across the line but only managed a thick edge that flew, Sammy was swift to move to his left and take a sharp catch at face height. 13/114.3 hoicked straight to deep midwicket. Surely Karachi fans won't be disappointed with that? Hasan Ali will take that into his kitty. Looked to clear his front leg and swing over the ropes, no timing. 130/2Extras9 (b 4, lb 2, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL157/2 (16 Overs, RR: 9.81)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Mukhtar Ahmed, 1.2 ov), 2-130 (Babar Azam, 14.3 ov)
