    0.3 bowled 'im, stumps splattered! Scrambled seam and it runs on with the arm, inside Ayub's wild swipe, and the timbers take a tumble. Farooqi does what all fast bowlers love doing best, and Islamabad are off to the perfect start in their pursuit of second spot 1/1
    12.3 full toss, plinked to long-off! And Zalmi are behind the 8-ball now... Finally a misjudgment from Haris and Islamabad have the big wicket. Not the best ball Shadab's ever bowled, but somehow he coaxed Haris into checking his lofted drive, and it was catching practice for Hasan Ali coming in off the rope 138/4
    10.1 slog-sweeps... but holes out! Munro is standing there waiting for the catch on the deep midwicket fence. He takes a couple of slow steps back, and eventually realises he's very close to the rope, so pops the ball up, steps out and back in, completes the catch. Smoothly done, and IU break the stand 116/2
    11.2 chipped to cover! Clean golf swing from Kohler-Cadmore but he slices it, and picks out the man inside the ring. Well snaffled by Maqsood above his head, another momentum-breaker for Isb 132/3
    15.5 timbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Pinpoiint yorker, a real sandshoe crusher and Haseebullah is cleaned up! Full and quick, 144 clicks and it thunders into the base of middle and off. See ya 159/6
    13.1 sliced straight to deep third! Hasan almost looks embarrassed by this, no celebration just a sheepish covering of the eyes. Full outside off and Neesham attempts to hit the cover of it - knowing that's what you have to do here - and sends it down the gullet of the man posted on the rope 139/5
    16.1 bowled 'im! Length ball, maybe a little shape back in, Jamal swings across it and hears the crash of ash from behind. Top of middle and off stumps, job done. Again no celebration from Hasan 159/7

    16.3 slower ball, miscued into the deep! Hasan has two in three and Zalmi are collapsing in a heap. Pace off and Mujeeb gets it wrong looking to heave over the leg side, picks out deep midwicket 161/8

    5.1 pitched up and drilled to mid-off! Jamal has another, he bellows in celebration. It was there to hit, but Hales couldn't get it high enough, picking out the man in the ring, Kohler-Cadmore, for a safe catch above his head. Zalmi really amongst 'em now 32/3
    3.3 pitched up, and feathered behind! Strange shot from Maqsood, crouching low and looking to open the face on a dab behind square. It was a bit too quick for him, 141kph and kissed the toe of the bat through to Haseebullah. Zalmi have a second in the powerplay 21/2
    8.5 full, wide and slapped to deep point! Munro was hitting towards the shorter boundary, but maybe got it into the wind. Skewed off squarer than he was aiming and Jamal raced in to grab the catch. IU's hopes of a top-two spot are dwindling 65/4
    14.6 full, smoked... and grabbed low in the covers! Muqeem rises with his finger in the air, Neesham is grinning. Wide half-volley and Gurbaz went after it, maybe not the cleanest connection, and it's well held by the freshman tweaker diving to his right 111/6
    12.6 another googly, swatted to cover! It was dragged down and he could have put it anywhere, but mistimed his aerial cut and picked out the man inside the ring. Shadab shakes his head and stalks from the field, that might be second place down the gurgler 100/5
    15.1 slogged straight up, Asif's gone! Muqeem strikes with the ball after his grab in the field. Another googly, spinning away from over the wicket, Asif looks to launch but only toe-ends it for a steepling catch at cover 111/7
    19.3 yorked 'im! Shahzad finishes it! Surely. Superbly bowled, 139kph at the base of off stump. Ashraf has the big wind up but can only drop his bat in time to squeeze the ball into leg. Off fly the bails, and off fly the Zalmi players in pursuit of Shahzad 166/9
    15.3 tossed up and carted straight to deep midwicket! Went for the slog-sweep but didn't seem to fully go through the shot, easily held by Mujeeb jogging around the rope. United heading for the eliminator 111/8

    19.4 yorked 'im, Part 2! Full and straight, beats a tentative prod and smashes off stump. Shahzad nails his brief and Zalmi have won by 13 runs, exorcising some of their Pindi demons in the process 166/10
