Parnell to Raza, SIX, it's gone outta here! High full toss, asking to be hit. Raza stands tall and flogs it over deep mid-wicket. Another ball lost

Parnell to MacLeod, FOUR, nicely done! Parnell offers width on this short of length delivery and MacLeod opens his bat-face to guide it between short third man and backward point. Good placement

Ali Khan to Raza, FOUR, one bounce and into the fence off the free-hit. Ali Khan bowls a length ball outside off and Raza threw the kitchen sink at it. Got it off the outside half, but had enough to get it wide and over backward point

Ali Khan to Raza, SIX, back of a length delivery, Raza is expecting that. Raza slightly moves leg-side and swings his bat hard to pummel the pull over wide long-on. Back-to-back sixes

Ali Khan to Raza, SIX, fifty for Sikandar Raza! A stunning shot to get there. Shortish ball, Raza stands tall and flat-bats it over the bowler's head. The sightscreen takes the brunt. Removes his helmet and raises his bat does Raza

Parnell to Afridi, out Bowled!! No fireworks from Boom Boom. Short of a good length ball from round the wicket, was the slower one from Parnell and Afridi didn't pick it. The Pakistani walked down the pitch to have a swipe at it and ended up playing all around it. The ball scoots under his bat to disturb the stumps. Afridi b Parnell 1(5)

Parnell to Raza, FOUR, four off the free-hit! Too full, Raza stays deep in his crease to get underneath it and he lifts it over mid-off. Mid-off was inside the circle

Rashid Khan to Raza, FOUR, to fine leg

Fareed Ahmad to Delport, out Bowled!! 'You miss, I hit.' Change of pace does the trick. Was probably the cutter from Fareed Ahmad, Delport backs away and is early into his shot - heave. Misses it and the ball crashes into the middle stump. Delport b Fareed Ahmad 19(14) [4s-1 6s-1]

Fareed Ahmad to Raza, SIX, Raza goes downtown and that's a six. Overpitched delivery, meant to be the yorker, Raza clears his left leg and biffs it over the non-striker's head

Fareed Ahmad to Raza, FOUR, walks away towards leg and slices this length ball over extra cover. The sweeper can't cut it off. Good shot. Manufactured his own room and made excellent contact

Rashid Khan to Raza, byes, FOUR, another googly, Raza tries another wristy clip from the crease, sans any feet movement. Misses the leg-stump by an inch and runs away to the fine leg fence. Beat him on the inside edge. Brings up the fifty partnership

Rashid Khan to Raza, SIX, that's gone a mile up in the air, and Raza has got the distance as well. Rashid Khan bowls a bad ball. Short in length, Raza crouches low on the back foot and goes hard on the pull. He got it off the bottom part of the bat, but the ball had enough wings to clear the deep square leg ropes

Zahir Shehzad to Delport, SIX, in the slot and it's gone outta here. Zahir Shehzad overpitches from over the wicket, right in Delport's arc. The lefty stands tall and bludgeons it over long-on

Zahir Shehzad to Mohammad Shahzad, out Bowled!! Double strike from Zahir! This is a massive one for Kabul because Shahzad was going bonkers. This wicket could slow things a bit.

Zahir Shehzad to Ihsanullah, out Caught by Laurie Evans!! The partnership is finally broken. Zahir provides it for Kabul. Was floated up outside off and Janat went for the lofted hit. Didn't get the distance on the stroke and Evans cups it comfortably at long-off. The opening that Kabul were desperately looking for. Can they build on this to claw their way back? Ihsanullah c Laurie Evans b Zahir Shehzad 27(19) [4s-3 6s-1]

Zahir Shehzad to Mohammad Shahzad, 5 wides, stumping missed! Shahzad was well down the track and Zahir sprayed it down leg. Ronchi probably wasn't expecting it and shelled it and let it through to the fine leg fence. Five wides to the total. The mayhem continues. Another life for Shahzad

Fareed Ahmad to Mohammad Shahzad, SIX, smacked with utter disdain! Shahzad is toying with the bowling here. Total destruction. Makes a bit of room and gets a length ball that he slogs over deep mid-wicket. Meaty blow!

Fareed Ahmad to Mohammad Shahzad, SIX, Shahzad reaches his 50 in style! When he clicks, it's unabashed entertainment. Gets a half volley on the pads and flicks it sweetly over deep backward square leg. Such timing to clear the ropes with ease

Fareed Ahmad to Ihsanullah, leg byes, FOUR, massive LBW shout turned down! Janat could be lucky to get away here. Seemed plumb to me unless it pitched outside leg. Replays show that it did, so that's a good call from the umpire. Was full and Janat shuffled across early for the flick but missed it. Went off the pads and beat the keeper to the fine leg fence

Rashid Khan to Mohammad Shahzad, SIX, dumped over cow corner! Shahzad is telling Rashid that he knows how to deal with his variations. It's the googly and Shahzad picked it early, clobbered it with a powerful slog. Went over the smaller roof

Fareed Ahmad to Mohammad Shahzad, FOUR, he keeps producing such innovative shots, Shahzad! Premeditatedly walks across the stumps and although this was speared outside off, his quick hands and wrists ensured that he could flick it well wide of short fine leg. Go figure!

Fareed Ahmad to Ihsanullah, SIX, that's gone out of the stadium! What a mighty blow from Janat! Showing that it's not all about Mohammad Shahzad tonight. Was a short ball and he got inside the line before launching the pull over deep backward square leg. Made such sweet contact that it landed over the roof and rolled away out of the park. New balls please!

Zahir Shehzad to Mohammad Shahzad, FOUR, terrific shot! One of those shots were he shows a lot of timing. Was flighted outside off and he just chipped it elegantly over the infield on the off-side. Clears extra cover easily and away to the fence

Ali Khan to Ihsanullah, FOUR, slammed away! Nothing streaky about this shot from Janat. Gets a half-volley that he spanks straight back past Ali who could only take evasive action in his followthrough. Was struck extremely hard and it blazed away down the ground to the fence

Ali Khan to Ihsanullah, FOUR, another edge but no slip! Can't blame the captain because generally, there aren't any slip fielders at this stage in T20. Another good length ball that Janat wants to slog, flies off the outside edge well wide of Ronchi and away to the third man fence in no time

Ali Khan to Ihsanullah, FOUR, streaky runs for Janat! Was on a good length and he went for an ugly-looking slog. Only got a thick edge that flew through the vacant slip cordon. Nothing much the keeper Ronchi could do as it was well wide

Ali Khan to Mohammad Shahzad, FOUR, hacked away brutally! Shahzad just loves that zone square on the off-side. There wasn't much room this time but he made some of his own by backing away. The shorter length helped too. Hammered it through the gap at point. Rocketed away

Zahir Shehzad to Mohammad Shahzad, FOUR, proactive stuff from Shahzad! Walked across just a tad and picked the length early, swept comfortably wide of the short fine leg fielder who did try with a dive but in vain

Parnell to Mohammad Shahzad, SIX, what a stroke! Shahzad's modus operandi is to stay leg-side to make room and Parnell doesn't help himself by providing room. Slammed away with an open face over short third man. Goes all the way! Wow!

Ali Khan to Mohammad Shahzad, FOUR, over the infield! Shahzad is flowing now and that's not good signs for Kabul. Gets a bit of width and that's all that he needs. Carves it away over cover

Ali Khan to Mohammad Shahzad, FOUR, cheeky from Shahzad! This is a shot that he has been working on. Gets a short one with a lot width, just makes a bit of room and ramps it over the keeper. As easy you like!

Ali Khan to Mohammad Shahzad, FOUR, First boundary of the tournament! Fittingly comes off Shahzad's blade. Back of a length but off line as he strays onto the pads. Helps it very fine past the keeper down the leg-side
