Shadab Khan to Haris Rauf, wide, out Stumped!! This is straightforward and the Qalandars have been bowled out for 139. Was another leg-break, pushed through with pace as Rauf gave the charge, he's beaten by a mile and is left stranded as Azam Khan breaks the wickets. Haris Rauf st Azam Khan b Shadab Khan 10(10) [4s-2]
Naseem Shah to Shafique, out Caught by Munro!! Shafique holes out to deep backward square leg and there goes Qalandars's hopes of getting past 150. Was a slower ball that angled into the right-hander, Shafique was looking to hoick it onto the on-side, but he ended up dragging it right down Munro's throat, at deep backward square leg. Shafique c Munro b Naseem Shah 66(38) [4s-6 6s-3]
Holder to Shaheen Afridi, out Bowled!! A slower ball and Holder has his fourth of the night, it's the change of pace that's done the trick, rolled his fingers across the seam, was the slower short ball and Shaheen is undone by the lack of pace, cleard his front leg and went hard on the slog, was through with the shot, the ball catching the inside edge, brushed his back and then clattered onto the middle-stump. Shaheen Afridi b Holder 2(7)
Holder to Wiese, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Holder is chuffed to bits and he's off on a celebratory run, full and at the stumps, Wiese was way too late in getting the bat down, played all-around and has his middle-stump pegged back. Holder finds himself on a hat-trick and the Qalandars are in a heap of trouble now. Wiese b Holder 0(1)
Holder to Jahandad Khan, out Caught by Meredith!! A nothing shot and the Qalandars slip into further trouble - banged in short and it kept climbing onto the left-hander, he was caught in an awkward position on the pull, took his eyes off at the last moment and lobbed a simple catch to Meredith, right at the edge of the circle, at backward square leg. Jahandad Khan c Meredith b Holder 0(3)
Shadab Khan to Raza, out Caught by Muhammad Shahzad!! The big shot was coming, Raza was being tied up and he holes out to deep mid-wicket. Qalandars getting dented once again, was a nicely tossed up delivery around off and Raza backed himself on the big slog-sweep, doesn't get anywhere near the middle of the bat, plenty of height and no real distance, a high catch and Shahzad steadies himself before catching it reverse cupped. Raza c Muhammad Shahzad b Shadab Khan 23(21) [4s-3 6s-1]
Shadab Khan to Billings, out Caught by Salman Agha!! Another one bites the dust! The Pindi crowd is elated! Shadab Khan drops this one short around off but it's the googly. Billings reads it off the pitch and goes for a half-hearted pull stroke. He doesn't get the required power and elevation behind it as expected. Salman Agha runs in front from deep mid-wicket and moves to his left to catch it. Billings c Salman Agha b Shadab Khan 0(3)
Imad Wasim to Mitchell, out Caught by Shadab Khan!! Lahore are in some trouble now! Good piece of bowling from Imad Wasim! Mitchell backs away and Imad Wasim slows his pace down and tosses it up outside off. Mitchell has to reach out as he tries to slog sweep over mid-wicket but only manages to get a leading edge towards extra cover. Shadab takes a simple catch and is all smiles. So, Mitchell's first outing with the bat in PSL is not a memorable one. Mitchell c Shadab Khan b Imad Wasim 13(14) [4s-2]
Holder to Mohammad Naeem, out Caught by Azam Khan!! It was there to be hit but Mohammad Naeem perishes! A back of a length ball and some width on offer, Mohammad Naeem tries to slash it square of the wicket but doesn't fully committ to the stroke. Ends up getting an outside edge. Azam Khan moves to his right and pouches it safely. Mohammad Naeem c Azam Khan b Holder 8(11) [6s-1]
Meredith to Fakhar Zaman, out Caught by Azam Khan!! Meredith strikes! The extra pace of Meredith outfoxes Fakhar Zaman. A back of a length delivery on off, shaping away, Fakhar Zaman tries to pull it across but only manages to get a top-edge. Azam Khan behind the stumps reverse cups it in front of his face. The length was not quite there to go for the pull. He was also cramped for room and hence, the false stroke. Fakhar Zaman c Azam Khan b Meredith 1(6)
