Shaheen Afridi to Iftikhar Ahmed, FOUR, low full-toss outside off, Iftikhar Ahmed sits deep in his crease and slices it away over extra cover, man the in the deep tries hard but can't stop it

Shaheen Afridi to Iftikhar Ahmed, SIX, that's another poor delivery! High full-toss outside off, Iftikhar Ahmed slapped it away hard over backward point, managed to get enough on it to just about hits the ropes on the full, was nearly a no-ball too for height

Shaheen Afridi to Iftikhar Ahmed, 2 runs, that's a terrible drop! Full toss on middle, Iftikhar Ahmed missed out here as he just chipped it out towards deep mid-wicket, should've been gobbled up but the fielder put it down, two extra runs

Haris Rauf to Iftikhar Ahmed, SIX, full-toss and it gets the treatment! Juicy full-toss outside off, Iftikhar Ahmed smacks it away over long-off with ease

Haris Rauf to Iftikhar Ahmed, FOUR, absolutely hammered! Very full just outside off, missed the yorker by just a bit, Iftikhar Ahmed stepped across and drilled it straight back

Haris Rauf to Kamran Ghulam, 1 run, full on middle-leg, clipped away towards deep mid-wicket, 200-up for the Sultans

Shaheen Afridi to Michael Bracewell, out Caught by Billings!! Appeal and given this time! He's nicked it through. Slower delivery full and wide outside off, Michael Bracewell looked to drive it through the covers and got a healthy edge through to the keeper. Billings went up and so did the bowler almost belatedly, finger went up and Michael Bracewell didn't bother hanging around. Michael Bracewell c Billings b Shaheen Afridi 9(8) [4s-1]

Shaheen Afridi to Michael Bracewell, FOUR, another poor delivery, full-toss on the pads, all Michael Bracewell had to do was help it on its way down to the fine-leg ropes

Shaheen Afridi to Iftikhar Ahmed, no run, this is a poor review from the skipper, he looks a bit flustered. Slower length delivery angling into middle-leg from round the wicket, Iftikhar Ahmed was cramped for room as he looked to pull, hit him on the thigh pad and it was easily missing the stumps, turns out Iftikhar Ahmed has got a bit of glove on it too, wasted a review

Raza to Iftikhar Ahmed, SIX, just fraction short and put away, Iftikhar Ahmed pressed back and heaved it over deep mid-wicket, connected well and it sailed over

Rishad Hossain to Turner, out Caught by Zaman Khan!! Gone straight up and taken! He's hurt himself a little but he's held on to the catch! Full and wide outside off, Turner looked to drag it across the line with a sweep but could only manage a top-edge, it lobbed up over the keeper's head and Zaman Khan covered good ground to his right from short fine-leg before diving to complete this catch. HIt his knee hard into the turf while landing but he seems okay. Turner is gone. Turner c Zaman Khan b Rishad Hossain 15(8) [4s-1 6s-1]

Rishad Hossain to Turner, FOUR, powerfully struck! Full on off-stump, Turner whipped it away wristily, wasn't far to long-on's right but he had no chance of stopping it

Rishad Hossain to Turner, SIX, Turner is away as well! Tossed up full on off-stump, Turner plants his front-leg forward and mows it over long-on

Raza to Yasir Khan, out Caught by Shafique!! This one's gone high and it has been taken! Massive wicket this and Yasir Khan has to walk back 13 short of his hundred. Raza strikes and suddenly the Qalandars have an opening. Full on middle, was a carrom ball, Yasir Khan probably didn't pick it, he looked to sweep it away and it took the top-edge before flying down towards deep square leg, Shafique ran to his left and took a very good catch. Ends a very entertaining knock from Yasir Khan. Yasir Khan c Shafique b Raza 87(44) [4s-6 6s-6]

Rishad Hossain to Usman Khan, out Caught by Asif Afridi!! Finally another breakthrough! The partnership has been broken. Length delivery on off-stump, Usman Khan looked to reverse-scoop this over third man but he couldn't clear the man. Didn't hit it well enough and the fielder took an easy catch. Usman Khan has played a good hand though. Usman Khan c Asif Afridi b Rishad Hossain 39(24) [4s-5 6s-1]

Rishad Hossain to Usman Khan, FOUR, just a fraction short outside off, was a wrong-un, Usman Khan rocked back and cut it away hard past point

Haris Rauf to Usman Khan, FOUR, it doesn't matter where he bowls! Slower length delivery on off-stump, Usman Khan backed away and slapped it up and over extra cover

Haris Rauf to Usman Khan, 2 runs, fraction short on off-stump, heaved away towards deep mid-wicket, couple more

Haris Rauf to Usman Khan, SIX, short of length on middle, Usman Khan backed away and used the pace to upper cut this over backward point, sailed all the way, there's no stopping Multan here

Haris Rauf to Usman Khan, FOUR, that was too easy for Usman Khan! Good length delivery on middle, Usman Khan just tucked it away easily towards fine-leg, beat the man at short fine and it raced away

Rishad Hossain to Yasir Khan, SIX, that's gone the distance! Length delivery on off-stump, Yasir Khan leans in and attempts the same shot - a slog-sweep. He connects this time and it sails over cow corner

Mitchell to Usman Khan, FOUR, 103.1ks slower ball outside off, Usman lofts it over mid-off and picks up four more. Not quite off the middle but enough to clear the fielder inside the ring

Mitchell to Yasir Khan, 1 run, full pitcher outside off, Yasir drives straight to Shaheen at extra cover and he has a shy at the non-striker's end as Usman was well down the crease, does not hit the target and concedes the single

Mitchell to Yasir Khan, SIX, one of his smaller sixes today. Back of a length delivery and at Mitchell's pace it just sits up, Yasir pulls it backward of square and just manages to clear the rope

Asif Afridi to Yasir Khan, SIX, Yasir continues to smoke them out of the park. But he was helped this time by Afridi - juicy full toss and Yasir obliges, he crouches a bit and launches it well beyond deep square leg

Mitchell to Usman Khan, FOUR, that's better. Conventional and he collects the boundary. Short and outside off, Usman cuts it square of the wicket and beats the deep backward point fielder

Mitchell to Yasir Khan, FOUR, not all that short but Yasir is seeing them nicely now. He pulls this off the front foot and generates enough power in the shot to beat a diving deep square leg fielder

Asif Afridi to Rizwan, out Bowled!! Dragged on! Rizwan can't believe it. He checks with Billings if he's really bowled and then starts the walk back to the dugout. Much needed wicket for the Qalandars. Drifting down leg, Rizwan sits down to play the sweep and misses, the ball hits the pad and lobs up then hits his glove before rolling onto the stumps. Unfortunate way to get out but the Qalandars won't be complaining. Rizwan b Asif Afridi 32(17) [4s-4 6s-1]

Rishad Hossain to Yasir Khan, SIX, fifty for Yasir. What an inclusion by Multan Sultans. The home crowd are applauding the knock. And he gets there with a gigantic six. Tossed up delivery and Yasir kneels down to play the slog sweep, gets it right off the middle and sends it towering over deep mid-wicket

Haris Rauf to Yasir Khan, FOUR, not convincing but four more. Slower ball around off, Yasir makes room and drags the heave off the inner half, places it wide of mid-on and the ball races away..

Haris Rauf to Rizwan, SIX, monstrous hit! This is Rizwan at his best. He is so good when the length is fraction short. This was right in his arc and Rizwan pulls it off the front foot, actually he nails it off the front foot and sends it sailing over deep mid-wicket. 94 meter six.. Rauf is left shaking his head. Rizwan is all over him

Haris Rauf to Rizwan, FOUR, whoa! Rizwan has just slog swept Rauf. 140.4ks fullish delivery around off, Rizwan goes low to get under the ball and pumps it over mid-wicket, one bounce and over the ropes

Haris Rauf to Rizwan, FOUR, back of a length delivery angled in, Rizwan is cramped for room but manages to get the pull away to the left of short fine, beats the fieder's dive and picks up the boundary

Zaman Khan to Yasir Khan, no ball, FOUR, oh my! Zaman has completely gone here. Second no-ball in the over. He has already conceded 20 and still has 2 balls. Short of length delivery and just sits up, Yasir swivels and pulls it in front of square. There was a deep mid-wicket in place but he could only fetch the ball from the fence

Zaman Khan to Yasir Khan, FOUR, repeat of the second ball. Once again Zaman offers an overpitched delivery, Yasir hit the first one to the right of mid-off and this one to the left, the line was slightly outside off and hence Yasir went to the left of mid-off

Zaman Khan to Yasir Khan, no ball, FOUR, goes from bad to worse for Zaman. He offers a half volley on off which Yasir does not miss - smashes it powerfully over mid-off, couple of bounces and over the rope. He has overstepped and has to deal with a free-hit..

Zaman Khan to Yasir Khan, SIX, clubbed! Zaman starts with a slower ball - 111.7ks length ball and Yasir picked the bones out of that, he spotted it early and launched for a 93 meter six over deep mid-wicket

Asif Afridi to Rizwan, FOUR, finally some intent from Rizwan against Afridi. He comes down the track, gives himself room and lofts inside out over the off-side ring. No one in the deep to prevent the boundary

Shaheen Afridi to Yasir Khan, FOUR, streaky! Short of length and angled in, Yasir goes on one leg to play the pull but the ball climbs on him and the top-edge goes straight back over Billings, he runs back but the ball bounces in front of him and rolls into the rope

Shaheen Afridi to Yasir Khan, SIX, shot! Shaheen goes round the wicket and angles it right into the pads, Yasir picks it up nonchalantly and deposits it for a maximum over deep square leg. He made it look too easy..

Shaheen Afridi to Rizwan, FOUR, gift first up for Rizwan and he does not miss out. Inswinger but pitches outside leg and stays down leg, Rizwan helps it along the way and Shaheen's pace takes care of the rest
