    4.2 Superb bit of fielding! Top-edge balloons up and Imad Wasim running back at deep third takes a fabulous running catch, Shortish on a suffocating off-stump line, wanted to flick that across the line and instead got an edge, ball soared towards third man, Imad judged it so well while running back and hangs onto it brilliantly, Faheem applauds the effort of his teammate and that's exactly what Islamabad required 34/1
    6.4 That was on the cards, tries to clear the ropes and hasn't got all of it. He crumbles under the pressure of dots. It was pitched on back of a length on fifth stump line outside off, opened the face of the bat and sliced it in the air, Colin Munro charged in from deep point and took a brilliant running catch - another spectacular take to inspire the ball boys. That's superb bowling in partnership 43/2
    13.5 What a timely wicket to uncouple this threatening partnership! Came round the wicket, finds just enough seam movement to scratch his outside edge and Azam Khan does the rest. Good thinking, changed the angle and induced an error. Just when they were setting a platform and had some semblance of control, Tymal Mills provided Karachi Kings with another breakthrough, Pollard is still out there and Niazi has been in good form so still plenty of firepower to put up a good total 107/5
    7.4 Oh dear, what have you done Shoaib Malik? Skedaddles down the track to create his own length and sends it miles into the night-sky, Shadab Khan takes a few steps back at short cover and keeps his eyes locked on the ball, settles under the skier and gobbles it up safely right on top of his head, it stayed for an eternity in the air, tough one but not for top players. Now, that's quite irresponsible from Malik who could have taken some time before going big downtown, it's massive breakthrough 44/3
    8.2 Hits the deck hard and gets it to kick off the pitch around the line off, he swivels and takes on the short ball and has an airy waft at it, hasn't got on top of the bounce and got the splice of the bat, Colin Munro sprinted in from the deep and pouched it comfortably, that's bread and butter for him. Karachi shooting themselves in the foot, don't know what's the rush, could look for ground shots and build a partnership before teeing off 49/4
    17.2 Arrows it in from over the wicket, pulls his length back, width on offer, smites Hunain high into the Rawalpindi night but not quite getting it far enough, sliced it to Faheem who is having a wonderful day at the office, pockets the catch low down at deep third 125/6
    18.3 Almost in the blockhole, flicked off the toe-end and Faheem didn't have to move a muscle to gobble it down his throat, another brilliant catch and good comeback from Mills after spraying a few wides. Eked out his third wicket 142/7

    2.6 Mir Hamza is absolutely fired up, punches the air ecstasy. Length on middle, just chips it in the air and gives a regulation catch to mid-on, Masood doesn't errs in the field. He has won that battle and another early departure for Colin Munro, perishes in the powerplay second time in a row 28/1

    4.5 Gottim with a beauty, wrecked the stumps! Do not take him lightly. Alex Hales went too far across his stumps on leg and wanted to play a full-blooded late cut, Mir Hamza takes the pace away and it moves in just a fraction to beat his cut, zingers are lit and both openers are now back in the hut. Huge breakthrough for Karachi and Hamza is on fire, ekes out his second wicket! 39/2
    12.1 edged and taken! need of the hour and Muzarabnai does the needful. Shortish ball, attacks the stumps, Salman backing away and looking to smash him downtown but instead feathered it to Time Seifert, window has opened for Karachi, let's see if they can create some panic 97/3
    15.1 Huge breakthrough! Over the wicket, back of a length, just a little bit of tail away from the right-hander, gets sharp bounce, Shadab tentatively pokes at it and tickles it to the keeper. That is a massive scalp. Bowling gas and bowling right on money. He is having a great day. Excellent delivery, pace on is the way to go I feel 115/5
    14.2 Caught and bowled! Speared fuller on middle, nonchalantly shovelled back to Zahid who gleefully pouches it after his follow-through. A really soft dismissal. Big wicket both literally and metaphorically 111/4
