Lahore Qalandars vs Quetta Gladiators, 2nd Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Irfan to Tymal Mills, out Lbw!! The deadly yorker and the dreaded finger close out innings number 1. That ball dipped in late and the batsman failed to get any wood on it despite backing away. However, it seems in the replays that the ball was going down leg. But the yorker gets rewarded more often than not and Irfan gets the number of his oppponent. 137 is the target! Tymal Mills lbw b Irfan 0(1)

Irfan to Rossouw, out Caught by Umar Akmal!! Another good catch in the deep despite staring into the sun. That was another delivery which stuck onto the surface and the batsman trying to wind up for the big heave could manage to sky it up. The ball never scaled a lot of distance and the altitude ensured, the man aty long-off had enough time to pouch that. Rossouw c Umar Akmal b Irfan 60(47) [4s-3 6s-2]

Tanvir to Hasan Khan, out Caught by Roy!! Looks to charge down the track, then the slog followed but the man at deep backward square leg timed his leap to perfection to pluck out wicket number 7 for Quetta. That was another slower delivery and despite the good connection, it wqas never enough to clear the fence. Tanvir has been superb today with his skill set. Hasan Khan c Roy b Tanvir 16(11) [4s-1 6s-1]

Irfan to Rossouw, 2 runs, a much needed fifty for Quetta and Rossouw. He has been superb. Started off on a scratchy note but has settled down to ensure he will carry the major share of the burden in this innings. The fifty shot was a drive into the covers off a wide full ball

Irfan to Rossouw, SIX, short delivery and he pinned that ball out of the park. Hardly pivoted on the back foot and then clobbered the short ball off the front foot. The runs coming thick and fast now..

Yasir Shah to Hasan Khan, FOUR, short delivery and hammered!! That was dropped short and the batsman lays his big booming bat with a big wind up. The man at sweeper cover failed to track it down. Good over for Quetta!

Yasir Shah to Hasan Khan, SIX, high and handsome! Never to the pitch of the ball really but kept his balance to reach out for it with his big arms going into the mighty slog. The eyes on the ball till the last moment helped as well. The man at long-on had no chance

Tanvir to Rossouw, FOUR, looks to wind down for the big slog, gets the edge, dreaded one for the bowler as it escapes the sticks and the grasp of the keeper to run away for a heart wrenching four. It is a batters' game!

Tanvir to Rossouw, FOUR, a walk down the track to a length delivery and then the smash down the track to beat the dive from the man at mid-off. The man at long-on put in the hard yards but in vain. It was not a bad ball but the move from Rossouw to charge made the difference

Yasir Shah to Rossouw, FOUR, the ball takes the edge on the drive and escapes past the man at short third man. Irfan in the end failed to get down trying to chase it down. Quetta get a lucky four and they would welcome it

Yasir Shah to Thisara Perera, out Caught by Bhatti!! Beaten in flight and to make matters worse, he failed to pick the googly. The ball lobbed high in the air for the man at long-off to settle down and take a sitter. He was trying to throw caution to the winds but his wings have been cut off as he failed to read the trajectory. It dipped slightly on him for the miscue to go up in the air. Thisara Perera c Bhatti b Yasir Shah 12(11) [4s-1]

Elliott to Thisara Perera, FOUR, creates room and smokes it past the man at cover! The man at cover dived but it sped away from him. BIFFED!

Elliott to Rossouw, SIX, backs away a little and thwacks it over sweeper cover. That was timed to perfection. A little step away and he got good hold of it

Elliott to Mohammad Nawaz, out Mohammad Nawaz Run Out!! Now a direct hit!! That was hit straight to point and they decided to steal a run but paid the penalty as the shy came in at the non-striker's end. The bowler thought of picking the throw up in front of the sticks but then allowed the ball to traverse the path to the sticks. Lahore can do no wrong today. Mohammad Nawaz run out (Yasir Shah) 1(3)

Narine to Sarfraz, out Bowled!! The inside edge has got the ball back onto the sticks and that is a huge strike for Lahore. That ball dipped in after landing and Sarfraz was shaping up for the cut. But the ball revs in and takes the inside edge to shatter the sticks down. Sarfraz b Narine 1(2)

Narine to Shafiq, out Bowled!! Looks to paddle and misses. The ball was gun barrel straight and strikes the target down after the improvised paddle attempt from the batsman didn't make any sort of a connection. Shafiq b Narine 29(28) [4s-4]

Yasir Shah to Shafiq, FOUR, sees the line outside off and reverse-sweeps the ball to the third man fence. Deftly done

Bhatti to Shafiq, FOUR, what Bhatti did well was to take the pace off this slower ball. Shafiq was way too early. Top-edge flies through long leg

Irfan to Pietersen, out Bowled!! The big man falls!! Tries to give the charge, then looks to whip it away onto the on-side but the ball escapes the gap between bat and pad to crash into the wood work. Credit to the bowler as he got the ball to seam into the batsman. Pietersen b Irfan 3(7)

Narine to Shafiq, FOUR, once again, kneels down, fetches the ball from outside off and slog sweeps it past the man at deep mid-wicket for a four. The man in the deep came up with an ugly dive to make matters worse

Tanvir to Ahmed Shehzad, out Caught by Rizwan!! The bounce does the batsman in! Short delivery down leg, the batsman trying to hop shuffle and work it away, only manages to glove it to the keeper. Early strike for Lahore and they have got the explosive Shehzad for a cheap bargain. Ahmed Shehzad c Rizwan b Tanvir 5(8)

Irfan to Shafiq, FOUR, up and over!! That has been drop kicked over mid-on as the ball was full and straight
