Watson to Tymal Mills, FOUR, edges are flying. Full length delivery outside off, Mills heaves at it and gets an outside edge that flies over the empty slip cordon and runs down to the third man fence

Watson to Rizwan, out Caught by Sarfraz!! Third wicket of the over for Watson. He's on a roll here. Bangs it short on off and Rizwan gets an edge to the keeper as he attempts a pull shot. When was the last time you saw Watson bowling such an excellent over? Been a long time, isn't it? Rizwan c Sarfraz b Watson 5(3) [4s-1]

Watson to Rizwan, FOUR, no hat-trick for Watson! Brave shot by Rizwan who dances down the wicket and pummels the length delivery over covers

Watson to Mohammad Irfan, out Caught by Umar Amin!! That's wicket number 200 for Watson in T20s. Bowls a length delivery on middle and leg, Irfan swings hard and looks to clear the long-on fence but ends up giving a skier to Amin at long-on. He's on a hat-trick. Can he get one? Mohammad Irfan c Umar Amin b Watson 0(1)

W
Watson to Afridi, out Bowled! Full length delivery angling into the batsman, Afridi looks to go boom boom and swings hard. Gets beaten though as the ball rattles timber. No Afridi special in Karachi's season opener. Excellent delivery by Watson though. Afridi b Watson 4(8)

W
Jofra Archer to Imad Wasim, out Caught by Sarfraz!! This bowler is one of the best death specialist. Takes wickets and hardly concedes any boundaries. Bangs it short outside off, Wasim looks to guide it towards third man and ends up getting a feather to it. Skipper who's also the keeper makes no mistake and sends his opposite number back to the hut. Imad Wasim c Sarfraz b Jofra Archer 2(3)

W
Anwar Ali to Bopara, out Caught by Rossouw!! Not an inch to his left, not an inch to his right, but straight to the man at point. Short and wide outside off, Bopara frees his arms and cuts it firmly. Unfortunately, it flies straight to Rossouw who's guarding that position. Sharp catch taken and Bopara has to walk back after his sweet little cameo. Bopara c Rossouw b Anwar Ali 24(18) [4s-4]

Jofra Archer to Ingram, out Caught by Rahat Ali!! Yes, the on-field decision stays. There was a faint tickle off his gloves and UltraEdge detected that. Ingram is not happy though. It was a short delivery that hurried onto him, beat his pull, struck him on the helmet before it flew to short fine leg. Karachi camp is not pleased one bit with that. They reckon there was no glove involved. Ingram c Rahat Ali b Jofra Archer 41(21) [4s-5 6s-2]

Jofra Archer to Bopara, FOUR, successive boundaries. Presents a juicy half-volley to Bopara who obliges. Stays put and stylishly chips it over mid-off to add four more runs to his account
16.2

Jofra Archer to Bopara, FOUR, that beats the man at mid-off. Full length delivery around off, Bopara smashes it hard and beats Nawaz at mid-off. Should have been stopped, reckon the commentators on air

Rahat Ali to Ingram, FOUR, full toss gets the treatment it deserved. Juicy and on that middle stump, Ingram makes sure to pick the bones out of it as he whips it over mid-wicket. No chance to stop that and the bowler would be livid himself
15.2
4
Rahat Ali to Bopara, FOUR, clubbed, literally. Moves inside the line and slaughters the full length delivery over mid-wicket. It's Bopara who's joing the party now

Anwar Ali to Ingram, FOUR, boundary to finish. That's another fine shot by the southpaw. Gets hold of the half-volley and flicks it with authority. One bounce, two bounces and it's a four. 18 runs off that over. Colin is striking at a rate of 200-plus
14.5

Anwar Ali to Ingram, SIX, that's massive! Picks the slower one, grounds his knee and belts it over the bowler's head. Hits the sightscreen on the full and adds six runs to his tally. Impressive shot!
14.3

Anwar Ali to Ingram, FOUR, one bounce and into the fence. Full length delivery around off, Ingram offers a short arm jab just like Yuvraj Singh and times it right over the bowler's head. Pure timing on that shot

Anwar Ali to Bopara, FOUR, advances down, makes it into an overpitched delivery and laces it through extra-cover. Futile chase from mid-off with the ball teasing him into the ropes
12.2
W
Anwar Ali to Manzoor, out Caught by Shafiq!! Well taken by Shafiq. He had to run forward and get down low for the grab, and he does a really good job. Manzoor was looking to up his strike-rate here, went for a big slog but could only drag it off the inside half to deep mid-wicket. Manzoor c Shafiq b Anwar Ali 35(39) [4s-2]

Rahat Ali to Ingram, SIX, powers it away over mid-wicket! Flat six. This is turning out to be just the kind of over Karachi needed. Short of length, Ingram takes full toll by swatting it away

Rahat Ali to Ingram, FOUR, drilled past mid-off for four. Overpitched ball from Rahat, Ingram shows the power of his bottom hand

Hasan Khan to Ingram, FOUR, out comes the reverse-sweep! He's got it away over backward point for four. Much needed release of pressure for Karachi
9.1
W
Rahat Ali to Babar Azam, out Caught by Sarfraz!! It's the huge wicket of Azam, done in by the extra bounce of Ali. He shaped to flash a cut through point, but the width wasn't quite there. There was some extra zing off the pitch too, which takes the top-edge of the bat to Sarfraz. This is excellent from the Quetta Gladiators. They've been brilliant in the field in the last few overs to build pressure on these two, and it has paid off here. Babar Azam c Sarfraz b Rahat Ali 10(12)

W
Watson to Manzoor, out Denly Run Out!! That's unfortunate for Denly. Watson got fingertips on this straight push from Manzoor, and it deflected back to knock over the stumps at the non-striker's end. Denly might have been guilty of backing up a touch too far, but that's what had contributed to their brilliant running so far. Denly run out (Watson) 14(14) [4s-1]
4.2

Watson to Manzoor, FOUR, flush on the cushions! He got the length, he got the width, and he flayed it over backward point with a belligerent upper-cut. After a long look at the replays, it's been given as a four

Jofra Archer to Manzoor, FOUR, pitches it up this time and is creamed through the covers by Manzoor. Expensive start to the PSL for Archer. The ball was ripe to be driven as there was absolutely no swing on offer

Jofra Archer to Denly, FOUR, drops it on a short of length and the ball sits up to be whacked. Denly obliges by pulling it fine of the man at deep square leg. Poor delivery

Anwar Ali to Denly, leg byes, FOUR, poor line from Anwar, strays down leg-stump and concedes a boundary. Denly couldn't get bat on it, but the ball ran away fine off his thigh pad
