Tymal Mills to Sohail Khan, out Sohail Khan Run Out!! 1 run completed. They were always going for the second. Slower short delivery and Sohail was ages early into the pull shot, toe-ends it towards mid-wicket. Rossouw sprints forward, picks it up with one hand and fires it to Sarfraz, who removes the bails off in anger. Sohail Khan run out (Rossouw/Sarfraz) 2(2)

Tymal Mills to Imad Wasim, FOUR, Shafiq almost pulls off a blinder. Width offered from Mills and Wasim throws everything he's got at that, slashed towards backward point, Shafiq dives to his right with one hand, but can only parry it to the fence. It would have been the catch of the tournament

Tymal Mills to Bopara, out Caught by Babar!! Tymal Mills proving why he is so good in this format. Mixes his length up nicely, went full for Wasim and short for Bopara, who took it on and pulled it straight down fine leg's throat. Babar didn't have to move much to grab that. Quetta keep taking timely wickets. Bopara c Babar b Tymal Mills 16(9) [4s-3]

Thisara Perera to Bopara, FOUR, Bopara ends the over on a high. Fullish and just outside off, Bopara walks down and almost yorks himelf, uses his strong bottom hand to hammer drive through extra cover

Thisara Perera to Bopara, FOUR, Thisara misses the yorker length by an inch or so and it is enough for Bopara to punish him, drills the drive wide of long-off. The fielder had a few yards to cover and still couldn't get there. That's how hard it was struck

Thisara Perera to Babar Azam, out Babar Azam Run Out!! Azam walks. The umpire did not raise his finger, but Azam knew he was gone. He pushed it to point and set off for a risky single.

Anwar Ali to Bopara, FOUR, poor delivery especially when fine leg was brought inside the ring. Short and down leg, Bopara gets inside the line and helps it along the way, wide of short fine and a welcome boundary for Karachi

Thisara Perera to Shoaib Malik, out Caught by Mohammad Nawaz!! Thisara is having a ball. Third of the night for him. Malik perishes while trying to up the ante.

Mohammad Nawaz to Shoaib Malik, SIX, first ball and Malik has sent it into the second tier. That's some way to announce yourself. Dances down the wicket, gets to the pitch of the ball and lofts it over the long-on fence

Mohammad Nawaz to Pollard, out Caught by Pietersen!! Pollard perishes trying to go for another big hit. Nawaz follows Pollard as he made room to go over the long-on fielder.

Sangakkara c Hasan Khan b Thisara Perera 25(22) [4s-1 6s-1]

Babar to Sangakkara, FOUR, too much on the leg side. Sangakkara paddles sweeps it fine past the short fine leg fielder. The ball races away to the fence in a hurry

Mohammad Nawaz to Sangakkara, SIX, Sangakkara skips down the track and meets the pitch of the ball. Hammered down the ground for a huge six. The ball sails deep into the long-on stands

Thisara Perera to Gayle, out Caught&Bowled!! Soft, soft dismissal this!! Slower delivery on the stump. Might have held on the surface for a little longer to induce a false shot from Gayle. Checks his shot with no feet movement and the ball lobs to the right of the bowler. Perera in his followthrough dives to his right full length and takes the catch inches above the ground. Gayle c and b Thisara Perera 10(14) [6s-1]

Tymal Mills to Shahzaib Hasan, out Caught&Bowled!! You could sense something happening!! It was just matter of time before Mills could come up with something new to break this little partnership. Slower delivery foxes Shahzaib Hasan. He is early on the shot and by the time he realizes and checks the push, the ball lobs back to Tymal Mills. Completes the catch and wears a smile on his face. Shahzaib Hasan c and b Tymal Mills 19(13) [4s-3]

Anwar Ali to Gayle, SIX, there you go!! Now we know what he was setting himself for. Was patient until now. Skips down the track in a flash and clubs it over the long-off fence for the first maximum of the match
