- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.1 Luke Ronchi is gone first ball! Full just outside off, and Ronchi goes for an expansive cover drive. Thick outside edge, and pouched by first slip diving to his right. What a start for LQ! A golden duck for Luke Ronch, would you believe it 0/12.2 full and wide outside off, and Salt takes a huge step towards the ball. Tries to lift it over cover, but he's toe-ended the shot in the air. Mid-off gets under it, and makes no mistake! Sandeep strikes right away! 32/213.5 middle stump gone! Walton misses his half-century. Yorker on middle, and Walton goes across the stumps to play a cheeky sweep. He can't connect, and the ball pegs middle stump back. Relief for Lahore after a long time.

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR6.2 length ball on off, and he tries to flat-bat a shot over long on. Toe-ends the shot, and that's been taken by the long-on fielder sliding in! He claims it's 'out' but the umpires want to check. They ask Fakhar to wait. Soft signal 'out'. Big moment in the game as we wait for the TV umpire. Replays suggest that the fielder had his hands under the ball while sliding in from long-on. Looks ominous for Fakhar... and yep, he's got to go! Superb high-pressure catch by Salt, and Fakhar's 20-ball innings comes to a close 65/24.2 full and wide outside off, and he makes room to lift this over cover. Toe-ends the shot, and it's been easily taken by cover. Too wide for Devcich to even try the shot. There's the first wicket for Islamabad! 51/17.4 full on off, and he drives for the ball that comes inwards. But the legbreak turns away, and the ball has pegged back off stump! Classical legspinner's wicket 79/47 length ball on off, and he tries to cut this square. But Asif at point leaps up in the air and picks out a catch from over his head! Excellent fielding on display by the Islamabad fielders, and that's a double-blow for Lahore 70/317.1 back of a length, outside off, and pulled to wide long on! Faheen takes five wickets! And he becomes the joint-highest wickettaker this season. Sohail's valiant innings comes to an end, and for what it's worth, this is perhaps the end of Lahore's attempt at chasing 239 175/712.3 slower ball, on off, and he tries to lift this over long off. Deceived by the slower ball, and Sami - at cover - makes no mistake! Rumman hasn't overstepped either. Wiese falls, life gets more difficult for Lahore. Wiese's struggling innings finally comes to a close 133/514.4 length ball angling into his body, and he check-pulls towards the leg side. Doesn't have the distance, and Shadab - running in from deep midwicket - times his run well and takes a running catch. Fourth wicket for Faheem! 145/617.3 that's Faheem's sixth! Yorker on middle, and Shaheen attempts to dig this away, but the ball clatters into the base of the stumps. What an evening he's having 175/819 comedy of errors! Yorker on leg, and the ball has been inside-edged onto his toes. Batsman tries to go for a single since he doesn't know where the ball is. Musa picks the ball up, and tries to whip the bails off (at the batsman's end), but he loses his balance and drops the ball. Seeing that, the batsman tries to run again, but this time Musa controls his running, takes an aim at the stumps, and gets a direct-hit!
