Haris Rauf to Noor Ahmad, FOUR, has the fielder done damage to his head as he thuds into the hoardings outside the fence? Zaman the man as Noor Ahmad swings and the top-edge goes over short third man's head, Zaman runs and can't prevent the boundary, takes a hard knock on the back of the neck

Shaheen Afridi to Noor Ahmad, FOUR, back over the wicket is Shaheen Afridi for the last ball, low full-toss on off, scythed along the ground, too much ground for sweeper to cover as he runs to his right, doesn't get there and Afridi is looking at the fielder, maybe he wanted him much further to his right

Haris Rauf to Iftikhar Ahmed, out Caught by Shafique!! Haris Rauf gets Iftikhar Ahmed. Off-cutter outside off, Iftikhar Ahmed pulls but it's straight off a top-edge, the ball goes high and deep backward square makes no mistake. Crucial wicket for Lahore for Iftikhar could've been deadly at the death. Iftikhar Ahmed c Shafique b Haris Rauf 52(39) [4s-2 6s-3]

M
Haris Rauf to Iftikhar Ahmed, FOUR, 50 for Iftikhar Ahmed. He has kept his side in the game. Slower cutter outside off, Iftikhar Ahmed chops it wide of the diving short third man. 10 off 2 this over
17.1

Haris Rauf to Iftikhar Ahmed, SIX, right in the slot, full on the stumps, Iftikhar Ahmed clears his front leg and heaves massively all the way over mid-wicket, clean hit and boy can he hit them or what

Wiese to Hassan Khan, out Caught by Hafeez!! How old is he? 40, 41? Who cares! Hafeez has just taken a splendid running catch over his shoulder from extra-cover and tumbles to the ground safely as he holds on. His team-mates converge to mob him. Slower ball outside off, Hassan Khan on one knee slices it straight up and Hafeez keeps his eyes on it all the way, takes a fine catch. He sure is fit for a man of his age. Even had the time to touch his tongue with his hand for some extra grip before catching it. Hassan Khan c Hafeez b Wiese 17(19) [4s-1]

Wiese to Hassan Khan, FOUR, the 50 of the stand comes up with a rasping tennis forehand over Wiese, dug in short, Hassan Khan displays brute power and powers it straight down the ground for a boundary
15.2
Wiese to Iftikhar Ahmed, 1 run, low full-toss on the stumps, Iftikhar Ahmed flicks to deep mid-wicket
15.1
6
Wiese to Iftikhar Ahmed, SIX, too predictable and gone for six. Iftikhar Ahmed knows the off-cutter is coming, it does and he stays back, it's outside off and he slogs it high and over mid-wicket for a biggie
11.4
Wiese to Iftikhar Ahmed, 1 run, Fakhar from backward point does not hit direct and the run-out chance goes begging. Dabbed straight him and Iftikhar Ahmed ran, Hassan Khan did not want, had to run eventually and Fakhar took his time and aimed but misses, Philip Salt or Wiese could not get to the stumps in time for Fakhar to lob the ball to. Easy chance and it goes waste, Iftikhar Ahmed has a go at Hassan Khan for not running after reaching the other end
10.4

Kamran Ghulam to Iftikhar Ahmed, FOUR, Kamran Ghulam tries the chinaman, it's too short and turning in, Iftikhar Ahmed hammers the pull wide of long-on for an easy boundary
10.3
6
Kamran Ghulam to Iftikhar Ahmed, SIX, Iftikhar Ahmed takes the aggressive option, comes down the track and to the pitch, lofts handsomely over long-off and clears the fence comfortably

Wiese to Umar Akmal, out Caught by Shaheen Afridi!! Straight to Shaheen Shah at mid-off. The Lahore skipper takes it and throws the ball into the turf in frustration. End of Umar Akmal who was looking good. Umar comes down the track and it's on a good length on the stumps, he flat-bats it in the air and towards Afridi who takes it reverse-cupped. Wiese fist-pumps. Umar Akmal c Shaheen Afridi b Wiese 25(19) [4s-3 6s-1]
7.4
Haris Rauf to Umar Akmal, 2 runs, yorker length just outside off, Umar Akmal squeezes it out with an open face to backward point who goes for the direct-hit at the bowler's end, misses, Shaheen Shah can't back up cleanly and they come back for the 2nd
7.1
6
Haris Rauf to Umar Akmal, SIX, Umar Akmal welcomes Haris Rauf back with a six. Full around off, Umar Akmal stands and delivers, swings it high and over mid-wicket, all the way. This is good positive batting
5.5

Zaman Khan to Umar Akmal, FOUR, poor bowling. Short and wide outside off, so much width and Umar Akmal cuts well in front of square, the ball races past the infield on the off-side
5.2
4
Zaman Khan to Umar Akmal, FOUR, wow! Umar Akmal is turning the clock back. This is again short and wide outside off, Umar Akmal cuts down this time and to backward point's right, hit hard into the ground and consecutive boundaries
5.1
4
Zaman Khan to Umar Akmal, FOUR, short and wide outside off, Umar Akmal doesn't hold back on the cut, goes hard and over backward point, threw his bat at that one

Rashid Khan to Ahsan Ali, out Bowled!! Rashid Khan strikes and the fourth one is down. Tossed up googly on the pads, Ahsan Ali flicks and misses, it's a tad unfortunate as it brushes the front pad and then goes onto clip the leg-stump. If not for the deflection, the ball was sliding down. Ahsan Ali b Rashid Khan 8(12) [4s-1]
3.1
W
Zaman Khan to Sarfaraz, out Sarfaraz Run Out!! What was Sarfaraz thinking? Clips straight to the fielder at short fine and sets off for a run, it is Ahsan Ali's call and he sends his partner back, direct-hit and Sarfaraz is caught short. No dive and did he take it easy? Tried to slide the ball in, fails to do so. Quetta have lost 3 inside four overs. Replays show that Sarfaraz was running diagonally back and was trying to avoid the throw, lazy stuff and that has cost him his wicket. Sarfaraz run out (Kamran Ghulam) 12(11) [4s-2]

Shaheen Afridi to Ahsan Ali, FOUR, magnificent shot. Third boundary of the over. Helped by Shaheen Afridi angling it in from round the wicket, full on off and middle, Ahsan Ali flicks beautifully wide of mid-wicket for a delightful boundary
2.3
4
Shaheen Afridi to Sarfaraz, FOUR, tremendous shot again. Full just outside off, Sarfaraz gets forward and flicks across the line but has timed and placed it so well, wide of mid-on and the ball runs away. That's a top-class shot against a bowler in red-hot form
2.1
4
Shaheen Afridi to Sarfaraz, FOUR, that's a good shot. Dug in short and there's no-one in front of square for the pull, Sarfaraz rocks back and rolls his wrists to pull it down into the large gap
1.1
Haris Rauf to Sarfaraz, no run, big appeal for LBW and Haris Rauf has a word with Philip Salt before asking Shaheen Shah to go upstairs. But this looks like it is clearly missing leg. Lahore lose a review early on. Full and sliding into the pads, Sarfaraz misses the flick but the impact is on leg or just outside leg, wonder why Haris Rauf was so convinced, in fact this has pitched outside leg. Such a poor review this

W
Shaheen Afridi to James Vince, out Bowled!! Wow. Shaheen Afridi is on fire. Two in two and both Englishmen are gone. This is shades of the game against India in the recent T20 World Cup. Full and attacking middle, James Vince is beaten for pace as he flicks and the ball goes through the defences to smash the stumps. Didn't swing in greatly but such is Afridi's pace and accuracy, too good for Vince. On a hat-trick too. The crowd are losing their minds already. James Vince b Shaheen Afridi 0(1)

W
Shaheen Afridi to Roy, out Caught by Philip Salt!! Roy is gone 2nd ball. But if he is so sure why is he not reviewing that? He seems to suggest that it went off his elbow but walks off. Dug in short as Roy comes down the track but the ball is straight at him, he flaps unconvincingly and the ball is close to the glove as it goes past, Philip Salt dives to his left to take it and the umpire raises the finger. Replays show that it brushed the under side of the glove, so a good call. Dream start for Lahore. Roy walks back angrily having a word with the umpire. Roy c Philip Salt b Shaheen Afridi 0(2)
