Ahmed Daniyal to Amad Butt, SIX, excellent finish from Butt. He manages to get under this very full delivery, packs plenty of power to send it sailing over long-on. Wiese could only watch it go over him
19.5
Ahmed Daniyal to Amad Butt, 2 runs, drilled to mid-off and there's confusion, Riaz is halfway down as Shaheen misses the direct hit at the bowler's end, the back up fielder is at fine leg and the pair manage to get a second

Ahmed Daniyal to Amad Butt, SIX, massive! That's almost gone on the roof. Much needed hit for Zalmi. Angled into middle and leg, it was right in the slot for Butt who swivels and heaves it towards deep square leg. He got plenty of distance on that

Shaheen Afridi to Bopara, out Caught by Rashid Khan!! Fifty and gone. Afridi finishes off a top notch spell with another important wicket. His figures read - 4-1-14-3. Slower delivery around off, Bopara had to go for it and he doesn't pick the change in speed, completely deceived he skies a sitter behind the bowler, Rashid runs around from extra cover and gobbles it up. Bopara c Rashid Khan b Shaheen Afridi 50(44) [4s-6]

Shaheen Afridi to Bopara, 1 run, fifty for Bopara. He has held the innings together. No big celebration as well, just a raise of the bat. Low full toss aimed for the stumps, Bopara closes the bat face and ekes out a leading edge towards extra cover

Salman Mirza to Bopara, FOUR, edged and four. Change of pace but he offered width outside off, Bopara throws everything at it and the outside edge flies fine of short third man. No stopping that..

Salman Mirza to Amad Butt, FOUR, fine way to open your account. Low full toss outside off, Butt bends down and opens the bat face to guide it behind square on the off-side - bisecting backward point and short third man

Shaheen Afridi to Rutherford, out Caught by Agha Salman!! And he breaks the partnership. Afridi has been the go-to man for Pakistan in the recent series and now he delivers for his T20 franchise. This too was close to yorker length and hence Rutherford was not able to get underneath it, chips it tamely towards long-on and Salman swoops in to take a sliding catch. Rutherford c Agha Salman b Shaheen Afridi 26(27) [6s-2]

Shaheen Afridi to Rutherford, byes, FOUR, wow! Fiery yorker and Rutherford almost falls over as he tries to keep it out, kept following him and in the end nutmegs him, beats a diving Ben Dunk to his right and races to the boundary

Shaheen Afridi to Bopara, FOUR, flashed and flashed hard. Bopara created his room by backing away, then threw the kitchen sink at the slower delivery, the thickish top-edge runs away fine of third man
16.1
Shaheen Afridi to Bopara, 2 runs, starts with slower delivery around off, Bopara guides it behind square on the off-side and scampers back for the second. A fumble made the job easier for the pair
15.2
Wiese to Rutherford, 1 run, off-speed delivery and Rutherford drags his heave to deep mid-wicket, just a single and it brings up the 50-run stand between the duo

Ahmed Daniyal to Rutherford, SIX, good end to the over. Once more Daniyal manages to hurry the batsman with a short ball but Rutherford goes full-throttle on the pull, the top-edge flies all the way over fine leg
12.2
6
Wiese to Rutherford, SIX, slower delivery, this one's right in the slot and Rutherford leaves no stone unturned in hammering it over long-on. Just loads up some power and middled this beautifully. Wiese gets penalised for missing the length..

Ahmed Daniyal to Bopara, FOUR, extra delivery hurting Daniyal and Lahore. Short again, Bopara predicted it and rocked back. Pulls it smackingly wide of deep mid-wicket
9.4
4
Wiese to Bopara, FOUR, full elegance from Bopara. Wiese persisted with the leg-stump line, Bopara on this occasion, podders across and whacks it stylishly in the pocket between deep mid-wicket and deep square leg. Talk about precision, this was right up there
8.4
Rashid Khan to Rutherford, 1 run, on the pads, nurdled to square leg and 50-up for Peshawar

Wiese to Shoaib Malik, out Caught by Ben Dunk!! Edged and taken! Wiese strikes in his opening over. Nothing shot really from Malik. Guilty of flashing with a horizontal blade, this length delivery bounced more than he anticipated. Bites a thick edge and a straightforward take for Dunk - his third catch so far. A brief stand which was gathering some steam for Zalmi has been broken. Shoaib Malik c Ben Dunk b Wiese 26(24) [4s-4]
7.1

Wiese to Bopara, FOUR, welcome to the attack, Mr. Wiese. Typical cutter outside off, Bopara deals with it in his own way by slapping it powerfully past the bowler and it beats mid-off as well. Bopara looking more positive
5.4
4
Salman Mirza to Bopara, FOUR, this gotta be the shot of the innings so far. Malik played a few delightful strokes but this takes the cake. Mirza lands it on a fuller length just outside off, not all that a bad delivery. But Bopara was so quick to lunge forward and time the drive so sweetly wide of mid-off. Perfect definition of a cover drive
5.2

Salman Mirza to Shoaib Malik, FOUR, Malik packs a punch. Ah, vintage Malik on display. Rode the bounce standing on the back foot and spanks it crisply past mid-off. Fourth boundary for him
4.4
4
Ahmed Daniyal to Shoaib Malik, FOUR, top shot from Malik. Snaps the string of dots as he did earlier. Of course, Daniyal helping him with a freebie. Too full and straight, Malik demonstrates how a flick should be played. Firmly picked off the pads right in the gap between mid-wicket and mid-on

Salman Mirza to Haider Ali, out Caught by Ben Dunk!! Oh dear. Ali gets a healthy nick and Dunk gobbles it up behind. Another batsman departs for a golden duck. Zalmi have been crippled early here. Mirza is having a memorable debut as he plucks one more. Good length, slanting away outside off. The angle tempted Ali to have a go at it. Lack of footwork costing him dearly. Lahore on a roll! Haider Ali c Ben Dunk b Salman Mirza 0(1)

W
Salman Mirza to Kamran Akmal, out Caught by Agha Salman!! Mirza retaliates. Akmal tries to be over-aggressive this time. Forgets there is a fielder at deep square leg. So instinctively plays the pick-up shot on the rise on the leg-side. No timing whatsoever and holes out to Agha Salman, who takes a simple catch in the deep. Both openers back in the hut for Zalmi. Mirza picks up his first wicket. Kamran Akmal c Agha Salman b Salman Mirza 5(10) [4s-1]

Salman Mirza to Kamran Akmal, FOUR, Akmal breaks the shackles. Rolling his fingers into this cutter outside off, excess of width and Akmal ensures he latches onto it. Carves it over covers

Salman Mirza to Shoaib Malik, FOUR, just needed one ball to get going and here he is, showing more class. Mirza doesn't alter his length, goes one up further and feeds a half-volley. Malik uses his magical wrists to power it past mid-wicket. Consecutive fours and this should bolster his confidence levels
1.4
4
Salman Mirza to Shoaib Malik, FOUR, right. First legitimate runs and it's a boundary. Mirza overpitches it a shade outside off, Malik was itching to get off the mark. Pulls off a thunderous drive through extra cover and pierces the gap on the off-side

Shaheen Afridi to Imam, out Caught by Ben Dunk!! Gone. First ball. Gee! Such a poor shot from Imam-ul-Haq. Loose waft away from his body at this outswinger that was served outside off. No feet at all and a thick outside edge is found and that's been safely taken by Dunk. Afridi is delighted and why not! What a start this for Lahore. Imam c Ben Dunk b Shaheen Afridi 0(1)
