Mohammad Ali to Naseem Shah, out Naseem Shah Run Out!! Naseem goes for a premeditated scoop but is completely outfoxed by Mohammad Ali as he bowls a wide slower ball outside off. He misses, looks to steal a bye but the bowler takes a much smarter option this time as opposed to the third ball of this over. He collects the throw from Rizwan and runs up to the stumps to break them. Naseem is short. Naseem Shah run out (Rizwan/Mohammad Ali) 2(4)

Abbas Afridi to Agha Salman, out Caught by Khushdil!! Khushdil hangs onto this one having dropped a couple earlier in the evening. His teammates are visibly pleased for him.

Mohammad Ali to Agha Salman, 2 runs, back of a length outside off, slower leg-cutter, and Salman is through the slog early as he looks to capitalse on the free-hit. Gets a top-edge to midwicket, and is back for two. Fifty for Salman. It's taken 40 balls, but as we saw the other night, this pitch isn't the most straightforward for batting

Mohammad Ali to Shadab Khan, FOUR, fuller than a length just outside off, Shadab swings hard and powers it down the ground. It bounces to the left of long-off and beats him to the boundary

Usama Mir to Agha Salman, FOUR, he spotted the line so early here! Length ball sliding down leg, Salman makes his mind up quickly, uses the pace and swipes it over short fine leg. 13 off the over to somewhat spoil a brilliant spell from Mir

Abbas Afridi to Imad Wasim, out Bowled!! Played on! Back of a length on off, Wasim looks to defend but gets a thick inside edge into the pitch. He's about to take off for a single which is when he realises the ball is rolling towards the stumps. By the time he spotted it, it was too late to react. Imad Wasim b Abbas Afridi 0(3)

Usama Mir to Azam Khan, out Caught by Willey!! Mir roars in celebration as he gets rid of Azam Khan! Good comeback after that six off the second ball. Pushes this one on a good length around leg stump, Azam Khan goes for a big slog-sweep but all he manages is a thick top-edge. Multan have dropped a few of these tonight, but not this one. Willey makes it look easy at long-on. Azam Khan c Willey b Usama Mir 13(10) [4s-1 6s-1]

Usama Mir to Jordan Cox, out Lbw!! That looks plumb in front. He went for the reverse-sweep and missed it completely. Impact is in front of middle, and ball-tracking says it's crashing into off stump. Wonder why Cox reviewed it. He knew he was out and was walking off almost immediately after going for the review, without even watching the replay. Jordan Cox lbw b Usama Mir 41(28) [4s-2 6s-2]

Olly Stone to Agha Salman, 2 runs, another skier, and Khushdil drops it again! Oh dear! Full delivery on middle, Salman looks to swipe across the line but doesn't get it anywhere close to the middle. Khushdil settles under it at deep square leg but can't hold on

Abbas Afridi to Jordan Cox, 1 run, dropped! Full on middle and leg, Cox swings across the line and miscues it off a thick edge. It goes very high, and Khushdil has time to position himself at deep backward square. He was quite close to the ropes, so must've had that in the back of his mind. But he makes a meal of it

Fuller than a length around off, swinging back in from round the wicket, Munro looks to launch it down the ground but gets an inside edge onto leg stump. Mohammad Ali is absolutely delighted. Look at him go. Munro b Mohammad Ali 8(13) [4s-1]
