- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.5 Banged in short around the line off, tries to get on top of the bounce looking a bit ungainly, there's not much swing, it's a rash hoick across the line, a difficult shot to execute, top-edge balloons up and is safely pouched by Evans with the gloves. Yasir Khan dismissed early in the piece, played some delightful strokes but erred on this occasion. Amir is pumped up as Quetta draw first blood 16/116.4 Miscued a skier and Rilee Rossouw backtrack and takes an absolute screamer, tumbled but didn't lose the control of the ball, that was horribly mistimed as he looked to slug him downtown and didn't find the middle, he had to go for the big shot, credit to Amir, bowled on a irksome off-stump line and thumped the deck to extract purchase 136/39.3 Bowls a corker of a flipper and it rips through the stumps. The dreadful death rattle means he has to go back to the pavilion, that was quicker and scud through the deck at a tight middle-stump line, totally flummoxed him, that's is incredible bowling. Abrar is always hungry for wickets, produced first bit of magic tonight. 68/219.4 Stumps askew! Bowls a heat-seeking yorker, he steps across to ramp it away and gets castled Bowls the yorker with unerring accuracy 182/4Extras7 (lb 1, w 6)TOTAL185/4 (20 Overs, RR: 9.25)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Yasir Khan, 2.5 ov), 2-68 (Usman Khan, 9.3 ov), 3-136 (Mohammad Rizwan, 16.4 ov), 4-182 (Johnson Charles, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 Slightly shorter length and straightens at middle, beats his flick and thunders his front pad which elicits and lbw appeal, umpire raised the finger without any hesitation, heated exchange of words between Iftikhar Ahmed and Jason Roy, think he might have lost focus there and realized he ran out of time on the DRS too. Crucial wicket. Iftikhar said a few words and was walking in his direction, he forgot about his lbw for a few seconds and that was enough to miss the review opportunity, he's not happy, fuming while running back to the dressing room 18/12.6 Good length, jags in at middle, there were two sounds, squeals for an lbw, and then Shakeel keeps running aimlessly down the ground, Yasir Khan hits the bull's eye at striker's end from backward point, excellent awareness and there's no need to bother with the lbw because he has run himself out, chaos in the middle. Shakeel looks very disconsolate after that lapse of concentration, cannot take anything for granted. Fantastic work in the field 21/24.6 Stumps shattered, what a sight for the bowler, look away Rossouw. Demolishes him with a stunning yokrer in the blockhole and under the bat, rearranging his stumps as he looked to flick it away. Quetta in dire straits 36/311.5 Tries it again and finds Chris Jordan who hangs onto it superbly, safe as a sanctuary and he snaffles it well. That was quicker and he stepped leg side, gave his all but didn't get the requisite power and elevation, got inside half of the bat 91/66.1 Just a touch short on a nagging off-stump line, wasn't fully under it, tried to smack it into the leg side, got the toe-end part and it spoons to Jordan at short midwicket who takes a gem running and tumbling. It was clumped high but not so handsome 47/410.1 Stifled appeal for an lbw, hammered on a slightly shorter length and it curls in late, thumping his pads. Mohammad Ali and Mohammad Rizwan had a long chat before they decided to take another opinion on it. Was it missing leg-stump? Pitching outside off, impact in line and hitting leg-stump, it's all over! What a fabulous review, it's been hard to overturn on field calls this season but this was spot on, even M.Ali is surprised that he got decision in his favour. It's going from bad to worse for Quetta 73/512.1 Another on bites the dust! Abbas is pumped up after getting his second wicket. That was hit hard into the surface and got a hint of wobble outside off, he flung his bat out and the outside edge was drawn, Rizwan with a regulation catch. The collapse continues 91/715.5 Usama getting rid of the tail quickly, bowls a beautiful legbreak that turned sharply from leg and crashed onto the stumps. 106/1013.5 Bemused him with a peach of a wrong'un that pitches full and spins sharply to uproot middle pole, execution was perfect, that's more like it. Gotta toss it up and allows it to spin. Amir stepped down and looked to swing him over midwicket, didn't account for the turn, Usama was supremely accurate on this occasion, it was too good for a tailender 99/814.4 Abrar threw the kitchen sink at it, shortish and hung away outside off, he wanted to pump that over midwicket but ended up nicking it back to the bowler, clear sound of the bat 106/9Extras5 (lb 1, w 4)TOTAL106 all out (15.5 Overs, RR: 6.69)Fall of wickets: 1-18 (Jason Roy, 2.2 ov), 2-21 (Saud Shakeel, 2.6 ov), 3-36 (Rilee Rossouw, 4.6 ov), 4-47 (Laurie Evans, 6.1 ov), 5-73 (Khawaja Nafay, 10.1 ov), 6-91 (Omair Yousuf, 11.5 ov), 7-91 (Akeal Hosein, 12.1 ov), 8-99 (Mohammad Amir, 13.5 ov), 9-106 (Abrar Ahmed, 14.4 ov), 10-106 (Mohammad Wasim, 15.5 ov)
