    2.3 short and top-edged, Umaid takes the return catch! Baig hasn't timed much this evening, and he's soon heading back to the dressing room. Banged in and got it up around the armpit, maybe a little bit of cut on the ball. Baig skied it straight up on the pull 13/2
    0.4 pitched up on a straighter line, whipped to mid-on... but the direct hit catches him short! Fakhar had elected not to take on Umaid Asif's arm earlier in the over, and that's why! Looked like he might have got away with it, but replays showed he was an inch or two short of his ground. Quetta strike early 5/1
    7.6 timbaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh! Looped up on leg stump, beats the sweep and hits paydirt. Nawaz becomes the third bowled to strike in his opening over tonight. Think Shafique has ended up gloving the ball back into his stumps, but Quetta don't care how they come 45/5
    3.4 short ball, hooked straight to deep backward square! Naveen strikes in his first over, too, and Gladiators are well on top here. Dug in and Billings was looking to swing it away, only succeeded in picking out one of the two men outside the ring 16/3
    5.3 bowled 'im, stumps splattered! Naveen picks up his second, skidding the ball through a porous defensive shot from Talat. Good length from round the wicket, hint of nibble off the deck, beats the outside edge and hits the top of middle stump 28/4
    8.5 reverse-slashed to short third, no run there... except Shaheen had galloped off, and can't get back! Relayed in quickly by Naveen and Sarfaraz does the rest, despite the full-length dive for the crease. So the brave captaincy gambit ends in glorious failure, as the NightEagle runs himself out! 47/6

    9.3 chipped back to the bowler! Wiese is the latest to join the procession...! Just a checked defensive shot but it sails straight back from whence it came, Nawaz pockets the catch low down. Qalandars in complete disarray here 50/7
    15.6 reads the slower ball but even so, the drive back over his head is straight down Iftikhar's throat! A fist-pump from the Gladiators man, and this is a big, big breakthrough. The Gladiators will want to run through the last two ASAP, now 119/8
    16.4 squares him up nicely, and Haris edges it to Sarfaraz. That would work in any format for a tail-ender, and now the Gladiators are one-wicket away from cleaning up the Qalandars 125/9
    19.2 they needed two there, but Zaman Khan's been run-out at the non-striker's end. The two was on, but I don't think Zaman was alert enough to appreciate the urgency. Ends up well short, and this Lahore innings finally comes to an end 148/10

    5.6 full in the channel, nicked behind! Wheels from Rauf, 147kph and Yasir is just a patch of burned rubber... Inviting the drive but he couldn't catch up with the ball, and Billings swallows the outside edge going to his right 53/1
    6.6 googly, Smeed plays back and is hit on the thigh pad swinging to leg - given! Looks pretty adjacent and the batter isn't going to review. Maybe skidded through a touch low, pinned him in front of leg stump. Martin Saggers didn't have too much thinking to do 55/2
    13.1 in the slot, there to be put away, and Guptill even middles it. Unfortunately for him, he sends it straight down cow corner's throat. Shafique didn't even have to move, and the Gladiators woes deepen 80/5
    9.3 cutter on the pads, skimmed to short fine... direct hit scuppers Hafeez! Fakhar Zaman turns and does the Star Man pose, he knows this is out. Hafeez beaten by a yard as he tried to run his bat in at the striker's end. Gladiators' slow-motion collapse continues 59/3
    10.5 nicked off to the keeper! Quetta are crumbling in the face of a resurgent Lahore. Iftikhar tried to run it off the face, but it gets a feather on it through to Billings, who takes a sharp catch 64/4

    16.2 straight up in the air for Billings to complete a simple catch. Lahore erupts! Freed his arms and tried to clatted that over the bowler's head only to get a top edge. Billings had to make up some ground behind him but he made it look so easy. 105/6
    18.3 puts Nawaz out of his misery. Classic case of "You miss I hit" as Nawaz tried to clump that over midwicket. Rocks his middle stump back, and Nawaz has been dismissed 118/7
