8:40pm A very eventful innings, which was filled with stroke-play throughout. Baig and Fakhar got them off to a belligerent start. Both of them perished inside the powerplay but Hope ensured that the momentum was not lost in the middle. Towards the end, they struggled a touch, with Wiese and Rashid not getting into their groove. Raza, though, showed just why he is such an important part of this line up, producing a 16-ball 32 that has taken the Qalandars up to 198.

The Gladiators might not be very happy with how many runs they conceded, although they would be pleased with how they contained the opposition in the second half of their innings. Hasnain, in particular, was superb at the death, with Qais also picking up a couple of crucial wickets in the middle overs. 198 is not an easy total to hunt down but the Gladiators, especially with the firepower at their disposal, might fancy their chances here. Do join us in a bit for the run-chase!

Shai Hope: I have enjoyed my time here so far. I thought it was a better pitch than last time. We have a decent score on the board and hopefully we can defend it. Always nice to share my experience (with the youngsters). (On his rivalry with Smith) Unfortunately he got me today but hopefully I can get him next time. 198 is a very challenging total to get.

Mohammad Hasnain to Sikandar Raza, FOUR, does not get the six that takes them to 200 but finds the fence! Slower delivery on a back of a length on off stump. Raza changes his shot three times before upper cutting on his fourth attempt. Sarfaraz throws out his right mitt at it but can't hold on, and he can't stop the boundary either!

Six runs to get to 200. Can Raza finish off this innings in style?

Mohammad Hasnain to Rashid Khan, 2 runs, dropped, oh dear! Back of a length delivery outside off stump. Rashid has a hack at it and mistimes it towards mid off. Iftikhar runs around in circles before putting it down. In fact, he did not even get a hand to it

Mohammad Hasnain to Rashid Khan, 2 runs, full delivery on off stump. Rashid has a swish at it and gets a thick outside edge that loops over backward point. Raza is intent on the third but has to settle for two

Naseem Shah to Sikandar Raza, 2 runs, yorker on leg stump. Raza gives himself a bit of room and flicks it towards deep square leg for another brace

Looks like Bangalzai, who fielded that ball, might have jammed his knee into the turf

Naseem Shah to Sikandar Raza, SIX, clears long on! Low full toss on middle and leg stump. Raza camps deep in his crease and shovels it over long on!

Moiz: "That was some delivery from Hasnain. Middle stump rattling is an amazing sight for any bowler." -- Can Naseem produce one of those this over?

Naseem Shah to Sikandar Raza, no run, excellent yorker aimed at the batter's toes. Raza can't jam his bat down in time as the ball whizzes past the blade, and the boot

Naseem Shah to Sikandar Raza, 1 wide, dug into the track just outside off stump. This one balloons over the batter's head and the umpire has no qualms in calling it a wide

Naseem Shah to Rashid Khan, 1 run, slower bumper outside off stump. Rashid gets on top of the bounce and drags it towards deep mid wicket for one

Right. Two overs left. How many can the Qalandars get from here? Is 200 still on the cards? Naseem to bowl the penultimate over

Mohammad Hasnain to Rashid Khan, 2 runs, yorker on off stump. Rashid comes down the track and jams it into the off side for what looks like a single. Hasnain picks it up and then fires a needless throw, conceding an extra run in the process

Mohammad Hasnain to Rashid Khan, 2 runs, back of a length delivery outside off stump. Rashid sits back in his crease and dabs it past backward point. He has to scramble back for the second but makes it in the end

Mohammad Hasnain to Rashid Khan, no run, dug into the track outside off stump. Rashid decides that he wants to duck underneath it and does so relatively comfortably

Right. The Qalandars have lost a bit of momentum lately. Can Rashid Khan arrest this slide, and get them to 200?

Mohammad Hasnain to Wiese, OUT, flattens middle stump! Full and slanted into middle and off stump. Wiese is caught on the crease and has a waft at it. The ball tails back in very late, breezes past the bat and uproots middle stump! What a sight that is for any fast bowler!

Mohammad Hasnain to Wiese, no run, slower bumper just outside off stump that does not get up as much as Wiese expects. He decides to sway away too early, though, and can't manufacture a scoring stroke

Naseem Shah to Sikandar Raza, no run, back of a length delivery on off stump. Raza backs away a touch but can't get his stroke past extra cover. Might not have timed it very well either
