- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.5 Gottim with an absolute jaffa! Through the gate and hits the off-stump with a pinpoint accurate delivery. Hits the hard length and gets it to nip back, he tries to punch it through covers and gets an inside edge that roars back into the stumps, that is a massive wicket and a terrific delivery from Shaheen. It was on an unimpeachable line and this is what makes Shaheen so dangerous with the new ball 4/18.3 Edged and taken, sharp catch from Sahibzada Farhan (part-time wicketkeeper). Zips it on a length and gets it to turn away slightly from fifth stump line, he goes feeling for it and feathers it. Departs after a handy 40-run knock 74/219.4 Oh, you gotta feel for Usman, he departs for 96! Hard length on off, tries to force a pull and got the height but just enough distance, holes out into the deep backward square. Usman has put Multan in a strong position with this spellbinding innings 211/414.6 Sweating profusely as he bowls a slower length ball at middle and off, not much oomph behind the shot, puzzled by the leg-cutter and Tahir swings for the fences but it only goes as far as Jahandad at deep midwicket, finally a breakthrough for Lahore 151/3Extras14 (lb 5, nb 1, w 8)TOTAL214/4 (20 Overs, RR: 10.7)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Mohammad Rizwan, 0.5 ov), 2-74 (Reeza Hendricks, 8.3 ov), 3-151 (Tayyab Tahir, 14.6 ov), 4-211 (Usman Khan, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.3 Farhan will be gutted with himself on that soft dismissal! A low full-toss on the leg side, he got down on one knee and got an edge that lobbed up, Aftab at short fine pouches it comfortably, he stands their still, admonishing himself for that error. Both openers back in the hut after getting starts. A valiant hand but not enough while chasing this mammoth total 56/25.3 Disturbs the furniture with a corker of a yorker! Fast, skiddy, aiming for the middle pole, wasn't quite in the blockhole, Fakhar tries to slug it away to midwicket and swing across the line and ends up making a mess of his stumps, Aftab gets the big fish and that's an interesting celebration, looks like he's calling someone 54/114.2 Zips it quicker on a length and it skids through the surface at middle stump line, Dussen yanks his front leg out of the way and pumps it in the air, Rizwan, in the outfield, at deep midwicket takes a fabulous catch, nice to see Rizwan showing his stellar fielding skills without the gloves tonight. Lahore should think about shaking hands already, they're going nowhere at the moment, succumbing under the scoreboard pressure and losing wickets like leaves falling off a tree in autumn 131/69.5 Dangles a legbreak fuller on middle, goes down on one knee and doesn't time the slog sweep well enough, taken by Tayyab Tahir at deep midwicket, he came charging in and snaffled it really well, Faisal with a vigorous fist-pump after taking his first PSL wicket 89/311.1 Gets a wicket off a low full-toss! Pulled away in the air but didn't get all of it. Dipping at middle, got down on one knee and went hard at it, trying to smoke him over deep midwicket, got plenty of elevation but not enough distance, nestled in the hands of Reeza Hendricks who takes a brilliant running catch. Faisal Akram off to a dream PSL start, grabbing the opportunity with both hands! Lahore Qalandars in dire straits, been a meek surrender 107/412.4 Tossed up tempting the arc, he tries to swing for the grandstands and plays through the wrong line, came way down the track and tries to clobber that over midwicket, ball spun away from off and Usman Khan with a brilliant stumping sends the Lahore captain back in the hut - the gulf seems massive between these two sides 120/514.4 Multan are hungry for wickets and want to finish this as early as possible. Tossed up a googly on a length wide of off, tries to cut and edges it to Usman Khan - the keeper. Geroge Linde's short stay at the crease comes to end. He was guessing which way the ball's going to spin. Vicious fist-pump and a very loud scream. 132/714.5 Castled! Zingers are alight Goes for a slog sweep and plays down the wrong line, going for a big hit without sizing up Usama at all and duly perishes. The dreadful rattle means he has to go back to the dressing room. He is on a hattrick! 132/816.2 Tremendous riposte from Usama Mir, sleight of hand befuddles him, it's a beautiful quicker one fuller outside off, loses his shape as he tries to hoist him for six, Rizwan gobbles it up gleefully at cover, tumbled but made sure it doesn't fluffs, fifer for Usama 152/916.6 Dangles a legbreak turning away from off, rocks back and tries to pummel him over long-on but ends up giving a regulation catch to Tayyab Tahir at long-on as Multan consolidate their position at the top of the table with an emphatic win 154/10Extras4 (b 4)TOTAL154 all out (17 Overs, RR: 9.05)Fall of wickets: 1-54 (Fakhar Zaman, 5.3 ov), 2-56 (Sahibzada Farhan, 6.3 ov), 3-89 (Kamran Ghulam, 9.5 ov), 4-107 (Sikandar Raza, 11.1 ov), 5-120 (Shaheen Shah Afridi, 12.4 ov), 6-131 (Rassie van der Dussen, 14.2 ov), 7-132 (George Linde, 14.4 ov), 8-132 (Jahandad Khan, 14.5 ov), 9-152 (Salman Fayyaz, 16.2 ov), 10-154 (Zaman Khan, 16.6 ov)
