- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.5 Stumps shattered, what a beautiful sight for Hunain! Off-stump is uprooted. Rams the outswinging yorker and Shan exposed his stumps, tried to carve him through covers and ends up making a horrible mess of his stumps. Looks like Hunain is growing in confidence, he has got a few opportunities and now bowling with better rhythm got a hammering against Babar Azam in Lahore a few days ago but he has got off to a good start here 73/32.4 Has he stumped him? Floated up on a length and gets it to spin away from off, he loses his balance and fails to lay bat on it, Azam Khan removes the bails in a flash and the third umpire confirms there was nothing behind the line so he has to go. What a comeback from Imad after being smashed for a six. He was stepping forward and looking to hit him down the ground but got beaten by the guile, sharp spin, wizardry and cunning methods of Imad 17/17.4 Zingers are alight, Salman has the last laugh Floated up on a length, it's an arm ball that spins away from middle and he shimmies to the leg in order to work it through cover but gets beaten by the flight and bit of spin, he was looking dangerous so Islamabad will be mighty pleased with the vital breakthrough. Superb bowling from Salman, he is no longer a part-timer after that brilliant run in the Test series against Australia in December. 57/210.1 Trouble! Round the wicket, lobbed up, wicket-to-wicket, leans forward and punches it to short cover, sent back by Pollard and rightly so, oh no, Malik, what have you done? He hasn't made his ground, it's touch and go, this is a disaster for Karachi Kings. Loose from Malik, just went with the flow down the crease, only took a few steps and fielder was vigilant enough to pings a bull's eye throw, none other than Shadab and Karachi in a major spot of bother 73/413.1 Soft dismissal, spooned straight to cover and Shadab gobbles it up gleefully! Back of a length, cramped for room, tries to chip it but couldn't elevate it much and will be gutted to throw it away in that fashion, invites more pressure on Karachi 89/5Extras19 (b 4, lb 2, nb 2, w 11)TOTAL165/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.25)Fall of wickets: 1-17 (Tim Seifert, 2.4 ov), 2-57 (Leus du Plooy, 7.4 ov), 3-73 (Shan Masood, 9.5 ov), 4-73 (Shoaib Malik, 10.1 ov), 5-89 (Mohammad Nawaz, 13.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR14.5 Trapped him lbw! Tosses up fuller and it turns back sharply towards middle and off, he was looking to play a late cut and didn't account for the late turn. Munro sends it upstairs, he is eyeing a hundred. Original decision is out. Pitching outside off, impact in line and hitting middle so three reds and Nawaz gets his man, it was a terrific delivery right on cue 138/211.3 Shortish cutter and thumped into the surface at leg-stump line, got the toe-end part of the bat and he holes out to deep midwicket, Irfan Khan takes the regulation catch and Alex Hales departs for 47, played a good hand, he swung hard but not quite on top of it 108/115.1 Got him! Imad stands there shell-shocked. It was a filthy half-tracker wide of off, he pumps it away off the backfoot and Shan Masood instinctively flicks out his hands and surprisingly the ball sticks in it. 139/3Extras5 (lb 2, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL169/3 (18.3 Overs, RR: 9.13)Fall of wickets: 1-108 (Alex Hales, 11.3 ov), 2-138 (Colin Munro, 14.5 ov), 3-139 (Imad Wasim, 15.1 ov)
