- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 Gone first ball! Comes round the wicket, tossed up fuller and the ball rips through the stumps! Befuddles him with a lovely arm ball that goes on with the arm as Saim Ayub looks to drive it through the covers, gone without troubling the scorers. Kings off to a brilliant start! 0/117.6 Chipped back to the bowler while moving across and wanted to maneuver it to the leg side, bit short and attacks the stumps, he wanted to retain a strike and create a single opportunity, undone by the slowness of the delivery as well 147/73.1 Haris miscues the skier! He got the toe-end of the bat Shortish and slanting across off, tries to heave him over long-off and ends up launching high into the Lahore sky, Pollard settles under and pouches it comfortably in those big bucket hands 26/25.1 Stumps shattered, beautiful sight for any fast bowler! Troubled him with a hard length delivery that straightens and disturbs the off-stump pole, through the gate and Hasan Ali brings out the generator celebration, absolutely pumped up. TKC played down the wrong line What an incredible start! 2017 CT vibes 40/312.5 Inverses his stance to reverse sweep and loses the plot! Ball catches the top-edge and shoots up in the sky, just when things were going nicely for Zalmi, Powell errs and gives a simple catch to Mir Hamza at short third area. A timely scalp for Kings! 108/416.2 Larruped over the bowler's head and hasn't got the requisite power behind the shot, fielder at long-on takes a sprawling catch, reverse-cupped it and Sams punches the air, crucial breakthrough, was an off-cutter and he didn't middle it 136/517.2 Shanked straight to Shan Masood at cover! What have you done, Jamal? Hamza bangs it in on a teasing off stump line, tries to go big and jab it over the fielder in the ring, didn't time it well enough and presents a sitter to Kings' captain. 140/619.3 Irfan Khan Niazi charges in from deep cover and takes a stunning running catch, tracks the ball from the bat, through the air, towards him and then into his hand. Bashed the shortish ball at off and got cramped for room 154/918.3 Round the wicket, slow yorker dipping in from outside off, tentative poke at it and Shan Masood takes a gem at extra cover. That is superb bowling at death; he's a specialist towards the end of the innings, showing his full range of deliveries and getting wickets with his bag of tricks 148/819.5 Shuffles across his stumps and he darts in a toe-crusher dipping in, wanted to scoop that away and was not near the ball, Salamkheil wants to review again but this time he may not get the decision in his favor. Three reds on the big screen and the third umpire tells Ahsan Raza to stick with his original decision. Salamkheil got too far across and missed the line. So a frantic last couple of overs, wickets lost at regular intervals. 154/10Extras3 (w 3)TOTAL154 all out (19.5 Overs, RR: 7.76)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Saim Ayub, 0.1 ov), 2-26 (Mohammad Haris, 3.1 ov), 3-40 (Tom Kohler-Cadmore, 5.1 ov), 4-108 (Rovman Powell, 12.5 ov), 5-136 (Asif Ali, 16.2 ov), 6-140 (Aamer Jamal, 17.2 ov), 7-147 (Babar Azam, 17.6 ov), 8-148 (Mohammad Zeeshan, 18.3 ov), 9-154 (Luke Wood, 19.3 ov), 10-154 (Waqar Salamkheil, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 Defending a low-score, wickets are going to be key and Peshawar have got the first one. Drags his length back and it tails in, went for the pull looking a bit ungainly, Powell at deep backward square almost spilled it, got it in his third attempt. Vital breakthrough 20/14.3 Excellent catch from Mohammad Haris, got himself in a good position as the ball was swirling all over, brilliant work! Now that was another pinpoint accurate shortish ball right at the stumps, Akhlaq tries to disdainfully whacks him through the leg side but ends up getting a top-edge, that was quite needless because Kings got a big over of Zeeshan so kind of a brain freeze moment and maybe not great assessment of match situation 40/212.1 What an incredible delivery! Magnificent flighted googly turning away from off, lures him with the bait and he skedaddles down the track and attempts an ambitious loft but ends up getting stumped as Haris quickly whips off the bails and Peshawar Zalmi have an opening! Massive breakthrough, how many times have we seen Salamkheil befuddle batters with his googlies? He was superb in ILT20 as well 91/3Extras5 (nb 2, w 3)TOTAL157/3 (16.5 Overs, RR: 9.32)Fall of wickets: 1-20 (Shan Masood, 2.2 ov), 2-40 (Muhammad Akhlaq, 4.3 ov), 3-91 (Shoaib Malik, 12.1 ov)
