    4.4 Edged and through to the keeper! A hard length delivery in the channel around the fifth stump rises sharply on Labuschagne. He tries to play the square cut, but the ball kisses the shoulder of the bat, right near the sticker, and carries for a regulation catch to Haris behind the stumps. 51/2

    1.2 Catching drill for the sweeper fielder! Oh dear me. What have you done there, Sadaqat? Basit bowls another short pitched ball on the middle-leg stump channel, and Sadaqat plays the pull shot half-heartedly, helps the ball with the angle and sends in a regulation catch to the man in deep square leg. Soft dismissal! 16/1

    17.1 Saim has miscued it to mid-on! Pace off length ball from around the wicket, clears the front leg and throws his bat at it, mishitting the ball miles up in the air and Iftikhar comes around from mid-off to complete the catch under the night sky. 123/9

    6.3 A massive appeal goes up, and for a moment, the umpire remains unmoved. But wait; after what feels like an eternity, he slowly raises his finger! Good length delivery on the stumps and he tries to play across the line with a straight bat. The bat gets caught against his front pad, causing him to miss the ball entirely and get struck right in front; it looks plumb to me. Usman sends it upstairs for a review, but the replay confirms the bat was jammed against the pad as he missed the straight delivery. It's three reds on the tracking, with the ball crashing into the middle and off stump! 71/3

    6.6 A run-out chance at the bowler's end and Zalmi players are celebrating! The Kingsmen are in a real spot of bother now. It was a length ball around off, a googly that was cut square, only for Bracewell to cut it off at cover. Irfan was already halfway down the pitch and had to scramble back with a full-stretch dive. Bracewell fired a perfectly measured throw to Muqeem, who collected the ball and broke the stumps in a flash. 72/4

    7.1 Golden duck for Maxi and the speedster from Bangladesh strikes! Maxwell stands in total disbelief, unable to process what just happened! Rana followed the batter with a sharp short ball; Maxwell tried to make room outside leg for a pull shot but only managed to connect the bottom part of the bat. It resulted in a simple chip to the mid-on fielder, who completed the catch comfortably. The Kingsmen have now slumped to five wickets down! 72/5

    7.5 hard length ball attacking the stumps, cramped for space and jams it down on the track. There was nearly a collision between Perera and Rana as the bowler moved into the path of the non-striker. Although Rana was focused entirely on the ball and never looked at the batter, Perera was forced to alter his running line. Unhappy with the mix-up, Perera put in a full-stretch dive but appeared to be short of his ground. Chris Gaffaney is now consulting with third umpire Alex Wharf regarding the interference between the bowler and batter. As the two batters wait in the middle, Bracewell and Babar have approached the umpires to join the discussion. After an extensive review, the third umpire has signaled out, leaving Perera looking absolutely furious as he departs! 73/6

    9.5 Spliced it in the air and taken by Mendis! Bowls a short-pitched delivery angling away outside off and Hassan throws his bat at it, only to splice it toward deep backward point. Kusal Mendis covers a tremendous amount of ground moving to his right before diving in to secure a splendid catch! 90/7

    13.5 Through the gates and Nahid Rana is breathing fire! Rana fires a scorching 148 kph yorker right into the blockhole. Hunain tries to play across the line, but the ball forces its way through the gate: an unplayable delivery that rattles the stumps. Rana kicks the air in celebration as the Kingsmen lose their eighth wicket. 108/8

    17.6 Edged and taken by the keeper! Hardie bowls a bouncer that shapes back in toward the stumps. The batter backs away and attempts an awkward square cut with his right leg in the air, only to under-edge the ball for a regulation catch to Haris behind the stumps. 129/10

    0.3 Straight up in the air and Labuschagne pouches it! That was a poor stroke from Haris. He faced a fuller length delivery right in the slot and tried to whip it across the line with a cross bat, but he only managed a leading edge that chipped harmlessly into the air for a simple catch at mid-off. 6/1

    4.5 Edged and Bracewell bites the dust! Bowls a 144.5 kph length delivery outside the sixth stump. Bracewell shuffles across and is a bit late on the square drive, resulting in a tickle off the outside edge. Usman reacts quickly, lunging for a well-judged diving catch and holding on to it securely. Zalmi are now four wickets down! 40/4
