4.42 pm: A decent enough flourish at the end to give the Multan bowlers something to bowl at with 141 on the board. At one point, they didn't look likely to cross 130 also. Karachi will probably back themselves to get this still, but it'll take a bit of application.

Parnell to Mohammad Ilyas, 2 runs, dropped at long-off and they get two off the last ball. Backs away to slog this but gets it off the toe-end while down on his knee. Babar at long-off has to run to his left. The ball's swirling high, but he can't quite get under it. Ends up having to lunge for it and can't hold on.

Parnell to Sohail Tanvir, SIX, wham. That's been powerfully hit. Was going for another yorker but ends up as a full toss that Tanvir smacks over deep square leg. That's gone on the roof. Excellent timing on that.

- It's not a batting beauty but I think Multan have contributed to their own woes a bit too.
