Faheem Ashraf to Iftikhar Ahmed, out Caught by Shadab Khan!! They're falling like nine pins at the moment - short and just outside off, Iftikhar was looking to pull it off the front-foot, but this is a heavy ball from Faheem and he can only splice it to mid-on's hands. Going from bad to worse for the Gladiators. Iftikhar Ahmed c Shadab Khan b Faheem Ashraf 2(8)

Faheem Ashraf to Sarfaraz, out Caught by Mubasir Khan!! A stunner at deep backward square leg and the Gladiators slip further. They're checking for a clean catch, but it did look good and the soft signal is OUT. Length ball on off and Sarfaraz shaped for the slog-sweep - struck it crisply and behind square on the on-side. Everything was good, but there was a fielder out in the deep, Mubasir ran forward first and then had to trek back - he does so superbly and completed a good overhead catch, also managing to stay well inside the ropes in the process. Just one look and the 3rd umpire sends Sarfaraz on his way. Sarfaraz c Mubasir Khan b Faheem Ashraf 3(4)
