- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.6 reverse sweep, leading to a huge appeal from Tahir. The umpire gives it out - looked to me like there might have been bat on it. He does review after all. Turns out there is no bat, and it's three reds on Hawkeye. Usman goes for a fantastic 51-ball 80. This guy's done his job, and now it's down to the big hitters 122/27.6 Imran gets Ayub's wicket. That might not be terrible for Quetta, who need batsmen who can get a move on. He did the right thing, trying to slap it over cow corner, only to find the fielder positioned specifically for that shot 69/114.1 well, what sort of shot was that? Walked across to the off-side to try and ramp it over short fine leg. Gets a thick inside edge that clips the leg stump on its way, and it's two wickets in two for Multan 122/317.4 yorker, hit in front, big appeal... given! Azam reviews Was this sliding down? Hint of reverse actually - angling down leg but nipped back. If there's no bat involved Azam is in trouble, and UltraEdge confirms no bat. Pitching in-line, impact in-line, hitting leg stump halfway up. Gone! Azam's fun comes to an end 154/515.3 Sarfaraz goes! Imran bounds in from wide on the crease, spears in a yorker as Sarfaraz backs away, and it crashes into the base of leg stump via the bottom edge! Hint of reverse, perhaps. Sarfaraz backed away very early, giving himself room to hit through the off side, but Imran backed his plan, nailed the yorker, and cleaned him up. Great bowling 131/417.6 yorker, nailed on the boot, huge appeal but Mr Yaqoob isn't interested. Rizwan calls for the review. Very full, old-fashioned toe-crusher which smacks Cutting on the cap of the boot as he looked to jam his bat down. No bat, says Illingworth. Crashing into the base of leg stump, and Dhani has another! 155/619.6 rushes him with a back-of-a-length ball at 144.8kph, and Nawaz is late on the pull shot. It loops up, and Rizwan settles underneath it for a simple catch! 176/7Extras3 (w 3)TOTAL176/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.8)Fall of wickets: 1-69 (Saim Ayub, 7.6 ov), 2-122 (Usman Khan, 13.6 ov), 3-122 (Faf du Plessis, 14.1 ov), 4-131 (Sarfaraz Ahmed, 15.3 ov), 5-154 (Azam Khan, 17.4 ov), 6-155 (Ben Cutting, 17.6 ov), 7-176 (Mohammad Nawaz, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR17.4 is that the final nail in the coffin? Rizwan moved across to try and sweep him over midwicket, but it was too far outside off to really connect properly. Hasnain runs to his left and completes a sharp catch. 66 off 50 for Rizwan, and this chasing streak looks like it's finally - FINALLY - ending 139/77.6 Qais gets his man! Beautiful legspinner, lands on middle and rips away. Vince tried to drive with the spin, only to get a feather through to the keeper 63/19.1 nailed him! Qais is having a blinder! Traps him in front, there's a huge appeal and this time the umpire rules in Quetta's favour. Shan Masood tried to sweep it, and it struck him well outside the crease. But can that alone save him on review? Nope, it's crashing into middle of middle. The reviewing has been woeful tonight 65/211.5 picked up and sent straight into fine leg's hands! Qais is taking Quetta closer and closer to glory. Shinwari takes the catch, and Qais raises his arms aloft. He's helping his team, and the asking rate is only going in one direction 86/312.5 falling like tenpins! Poor shot, a low-effort slog to long-on without really committing to it. Straight down his throat, and Quetta well on top now 90/416.2 swiped away to the onside, but no timing on it. Saim Ayub had to be sharp as he charged forward, taking a smart catch. Hasnain's pumped up in that harmless way of his, and Quetta strike again 127/516.5 misses his length, it's an even higher full toss, but Brathwaite doesn't middle this! Lost his shape on that shot, and miscues it to long-on. Cutting takes an easy catch, and Multan - and Rizwan - are being cut adrift now 131/617.5 and another wicket, things are falling apart now! Sohail Khan tried to smash it over long-on, as he needed to, honestly. A really sharp catch from Faf sends him back 139/819.3 lovely sower ball that dipped back in. Tahir could only poke it to third man and scampered back for a second that was never really on. Sarfaraz collects the throw from Zahid cleanly and knocks the stumps down with the South African well short. 154/919.4 makes room and sends this high into the Karachi sky! Faf du Plessis charges in and completes a great catch diving forward and - wait for it - QUETTA GLADIATORS WIN A GAME. THE CHASING SIDE LOSE! Broken streaks galore here, and the PSL has finally - belatedly - given us all a twist we wanted to say far earlier than it actually came 154/10Extras13 (b 1, lb 2, w 10)TOTAL154 all out (19.4 Overs, RR: 7.83)Fall of wickets: 1-63 (James Vince, 7.6 ov), 2-65 (Shan Masood, 9.1 ov), 3-86 (Rilee Rossouw, 11.5 ov), 4-90 (Sohaib Maqsood, 12.5 ov), 5-127 (Khushdil Shah, 16.2 ov), 6-131 (Carlos Brathwaite, 16.5 ov), 7-139 (Mohammad Rizwan, 17.4 ov), 8-139 (Sohail Khan, 17.5 ov), 9-154 (Imran Tahir, 19.3 ov), 10-154 (Shahnawaz Dahani, 19.4 ov)
