    3.2 Back of a length in the channel, pokes at it with open face and scythes it straight to Faheem Ashraf at deep backward point, it's magnificent pace bowling, pressure from all ends and that brought a wicket. He wanted to break free and went hard at it, caught the splice of the bat and fielder in the deep came in a few steps and settled under the skier. 11/1
    4.3 Oh my goodness! Colin Munro - the fielding coach of all ball-boys - takes an absolute screamer! That was belted out of the screws and destined to clear the rope at deep backward square but Munro instinctively raised his arms and the ball stuck in, he caught it inside the rope, then tossed the ball in the air before going outside the field, then came back and gobbled it up as easy as you like. Sensational fielding, it's a massive wicket as Fakhar's woes continue. It was a shortish ball and a bit too straight, he went for the pull and just didn't get enough distance. Exceptional fielding 16/2
    18.5 shrieking for a lbw and up goes the finger Slung down full and got some reverse, wanted to thump that over midwicket but played down the wrong line, on-field umpire adjudges him lbw but van der Dussen has reviewed it. Pitching in line impact in line and crashing off-stump so that's that. Stone dead lbw. He has held his end of the bargain and been on song throughout PSL 9, he is leaving after this game 148/7
    6.4 Springs down the track and he heaves it down the ground but hasn't got a solid connection, Jordan Cox charges in and took a staggering catch lunging forward but made sure he hangs onto it. It was tossed up on off, he took the bait and looked to go big down the ground, couldn't control the bat 30/3
    10.5 Shadab Khan has the last laugh, one big shot too many. Stepped away to the leg side before the ball left Shadab's hand and backed away too much, Shadab adjusted his line smartly and it hits the off-stump, outfoxed him on this occasion, great little cameo from Shaheen 76/4
    13.3 Azam Khan redeems himself with a gem of a catch! Menacing short delivery on a tight off stump line, went for the big heave over midwicket and got a fat top-edge instead, it stayed in the air for an eternity as Azam Khan almost ran back to deep third boundary and took a fabulous tumbling catch. There was no hesitation from Azam on this occasion and he took a wonderful sliding catch after covering a lot of distance 92/5
    16.2 Snaffled in the deep! Tries another virtuoso swing over deep square. It was pitched short on 119.7 kph just outside off, not much pace to work with and he takes him on, hitting in the long side of the park, finds Colin Munro who is safe as a house in the deep, another catch to inspire the young ball boys. He sprinted to his left and plucked it out of thin air 117/6

    5.4 Moves across his stumps and drags it across the line in the real estate at deep midwicket, Jahandad is the fielder who chucked a sharp throw, Munro took a little pause while running for the third and that indecision has cost him his wicket, that could have been easily avoided, that stutter meant he was always racing against time and the throw was spot on, Jahandad continues to impress in the field, took a breathtaking catch earlier and now pings an accurate throw 32/4
    0.5 I think he has miscued the skier, length and angled in at middle, went merrily wafting through the line, not quite under the stroke, Jahandad was running back at long-on and takes an absolute worldie, it's a one-handed stunner! Very ambitious shot, already got plenty in the over but he got greedy there, ruffled by the pace on this occasion. Ended up offering a skier 9/1
    1.6 Soft dismissal! Poor delivery gets a wicket. Pulls his length back and swerves a little in the air unless it's an optical illusion, he tries to glance it away and ends up feathering it to Shai Hope pockets the catch low, Ahsan Raza didn't hesitate in raising his finger. Third umpire took a look and there is a clear spike on the ultra-edge and Salman has already walked off the park. Lahore off to a wonderful start! 14/2
    4.4 Tremendous riposote! Stumps shattered, what a sight. Bowls a heck of a yorker and is through his defence, Shadab was searching for it and jammed the bat down, hoping he will get behind the line but that ball rip through the stumps. That's another great breakthrough for Lahore because Shadab has been in terrific form of late 25/3
    6.5 It's a procession! United are collapsing like a house of cards. Now Qalandars are playing like defending champions, too little too late in the tournament though. Once again hits the deck hard and darts away just outside off, went hard down the ground, got the toe-end, and the ball ballooned up, Jahandad settled under it and pouched it comfortably, safe fielder, simpler catch this time 38/6
    5.6 Edged and taken! What a delivery and what a comeback! Wiese, you beauty. Troubled him with the hard length delivery that was veering away late outside off, he circumspectly went chasing after it and the substitute fielder Abdullah Shafique takes a sharp catch at first slip. Islamabad United staring into the abyss. Marvelous bowling, got the away swing working for him. 36/5
    10.5 Ahsan Bhatti celebrates with arms aloft, was tossed up fuller and got it to turn away slightly from off, he was looking for a six down the ground - the currency we normally see him dealing in - got more elevation than distance and Shadab tracks the ball from the bat, through the air, towards him and then into his hand at long-off, the worried look on Azam as soon as he connected said everything. Got the big fish out of the equation and Shaheen will be a relieved captain 73/7

    15.6 Castled! He was firmly rooted back in his crease, bowled at a fuller length and got some reverse on it, Naseem got squared up and it's through the gate from round the wicket, friendly exchange between Shaheen and Naseem. 140 kph delivery. 100th PSL wicket for Shaheen Afridi 115/8
    16.5 Hunain perishes! Dreadful death rattle means he has to go back to the pavilion. Slung full on off, tries to boom it across the line and rearranges his stumps. Was a full-toss on off 122/9
    18.5 Over the wicket, slung a heat-seeking yorker aiming for the toes, can't flick it away and ball thunders at his shoe, they appeal in unison and umpire raises the finger. Review taken. Here's hawk-eye: Pitching in line, impact in line and half of the ball is hitting the leg stump so the on-field decision stays. Lahore Qalandars finally managed to break the hoodoo and capped off their first win of the season! 145/10
