Riaz to Shoaib Malik, FOUR, short delivery again but this time Shoaib Malik was ready for it and forehands the pull away into the on-side to send it past the man at dee square. Fifty for the man from Sialkot as well. This has been a knock of power and talismanic hitting from the experienced Mailk. Something that you don't usually associuate with him. But is it enough?

Riaz to Shoaib Malik, SIX, length delivery can be injurious to the health of the bowlers and the spectators. He backed away and spanked it into the top-tier at long-off. That went into some other orbit before landing back into earth
18.1

Imran Khan to Shoaib Malik, SIX, OOOLLAALLAAA! MY goodness. He picked the bones out of that. Fired in at the pads on a length and Shoaib Malik decided to touch the ball with the curse of oblivion. BUHBYE ball

Hasan Ali to Shoaib Malik, SIX, on the length, Shoaib Malik winds up his arms by staying deep in his crease and dismantles it over the long-on fence for another maximum. That was not that bad a delivery but Shoaib Malik is in that zone

Hasan Ali to Shoaib Malik, FOUR, misses the yorker, dishes out a half-volley and Shoaib Malik accepts the post valentine gift. That was bulldozed over the cover fielder for a four

Hasan Ali to Shoaib Malik, FOUR, short, wide, Shoaib Malik brings out the chopper to smack it over the man at point for a four

Imran Khan to Bopara, out Caught by Maqsood!! Six, six and gone. Looks to back away and go big. The ball trims the outer half of the bat to scoop up in the air and the man at backward point takes it. The length was never too full and Bopara with the fling of his arms never got close to the ball but still went through with the stroke to mistime it. Bopara c Maqsood b Imran Khan 30(20) [4s-2 6s-2]

Imran Khan to Bopara, SIX, remember the saying in my arc, out of the park! Ok. That was David Miller. But Bopara is reiterating the magical words now. That was in the zone and Bopara swung his glof-like bat over the long-on region for a flat six
16.4

Imran Khan to Bopara, SIX, Mamamiah! That has disappeared. He came dancing down the track and then lofts it high and handsome over the long-on region for a mammoth sixer. The slower delivery was anticipated and Bopara made no fuss about it

Riaz to Bopara, FOUR, the slower bumper, the perfume ball doesn't have enough aroma to trouble the batsman, who waits on it and rolls the wrist on the pull to get it fine for a four towards deep fine leg
14.1

Imran Khan to Bopara, FOUR, that's lucky! Looks to drive it away and the ball chalks the cue-end of the bat to run away fine on the off-side. The third man was in and there was no stopping that

Afridi to Shoaib Malik, FOUR, short and wide, Shoaib Malik lays the horizontal bat on that to cut it away. The ball needles the gap between point and short third to race into the fence in a jiffy

Iftikhar Ahmed to Gayle, out Caught by Eoin Morgan!! That was a flattish delivery and Gayle stepped out to launch it over long-on. The ball skimmed the inner part of the bat and the man at long-on - Morgan maintained his balance while taking it the first time, then flicking it back and taking it again. A tremendous catch to get the better of the legendary Gayle. Gayle c Eoin Morgan b Iftikhar Ahmed 11(9) [6s-1]

Afridi to Gayle, SIX, dished outside off and the universe boss has woken up from his mini-slumber in the PSL. Four failures and now it seems the boss is back as he lofts it nochalantly well over long-off for a towering six

Iftikhar Ahmed to Sangakkara, out Caught by Hasan Ali!! That is disastrous for Karachi. Azam in the previous over and now Skipper Sanga departs. That was a lofted drive on the rise of the bounce but there was no sense of placement into the shot as he found the safe hands of the fielder at long-off. Hasan never moved an inch to take that chest high. Zalmi are back in it..Sangakkara c Hasan Ali b Iftikhar Ahmed 28(22) [4s-3]

Shakib to Babar Azam, out Caught by Hasan Ali!! Hasan Ali recovers superbly at long-on to take the catch. Initially it seemed as if he had misjudged it. Ended up needing to dive forward, but he holds on. It's a miscued lofted drive from Azam who wanted to go straight down the ground but skewed it off the inside half. A good knock from him comes to an end. Babar Azam c Hasan Ali b Shakib 46(38) [4s-6 6s-1]

Sammy to Sangakkara, FOUR, this is such brilliant batting. Sangakkara is toying with Sammy here. Sammy comes round the wicket, strengthens the leg-side field. So what does Sangakkara do? He makes use of whatever room is available and dabs it fine past the keeper. Hat-trick of fours
6.2
4
Sammy to Sangakkara, FOUR, another effortless boundary. But this has been a poor first couple of balls from Sammy. Strays close to leg-stump again and is clipped through to the square leg boundary
6.1

Sammy to Sangakkara, FOUR, awful start from Sammy. Presents a gift on the pads with fine leg up and Sangakkara tears off the wrapper and glances it away to the boundary

Imran Khan to Babar Azam, FOUR, brilliantly done. Excellent wrists from Azam as he whips a back of a length delivery through backward square leg. All the pace had to be created by him with Imran rolling his fingers across the ball but he times it ever so well
3.1

Shakib to Babar Azam, FOUR, drops it short first ball and is whacked through mid-wicket. Easy boundary. That's just a criminal length to bowl for a spinner on this pitch, which is slow in nature
2.4

Hasan Ali to Babar Azam, FOUR, that's a dreadful effort at short fine leg. Makes a complete hash of it. Hasan Ali does well to dupe Azam with a slower short of length delivery and makes him go through the pull early, even the bottom hand comes off as he merely paddles it straight to the fielder. Imran Khan jnr is very stiff as he bends and lets the ball sneak through
1.5
6
Riaz to Babar Azam, SIX, flush on the cushions, is it? Yes. Six it is. Riaz going short but the pitch playing a bummer and not giving him any assistance whatsoever. Sits up around chest high for Azam and he bludgeons the pull in front of square
1.3

Riaz to Babar Azam, FOUR, slammed on the up straight down the ground. Clears his front leg to a length ball angling away and drives through the line
0.3

Hasan Ali to Babar Azam, FOUR, this time it's a poor delivery. Back to back boundaries. Back of a length on the hips, simple put-away for Azam as he tucks it past the man at short fine leg

Hasan Ali to Babar Azam, FOUR, lucky. Azam gets away with one. Not only that, he gets a boundary for it too. Threw his hands at the width on offer and could have easily chopped it on. Instead, the ball races away to the fine leg fence off the inside edge
