    0.4 Hendricks bites the dust! Length ball on the leg stump channel, opens the face of the bat and flicks it with gentle hands, chips a regulation catch to the short fine leg fielder, who moved a few steps to his right side to pouch it. 2/1
    7.2 Scorching yorker jagged back in on the stumps, cramped Waseem for space, tried to block it on the track and hits the right boot. Hunain pleads for a long time, but the umpire is not interested. Labuschagne opts to review it. There's a gap as the ball passes the bat, with all three reds on the ball tracking and hitting the base of the stumps. It was an unplayable delivery from Hunain! 59/3
    5.2 Miscues it to long on! Back of a length ball and Salman shimmies down the track, tries to send it downtown and doesn't quite get hold of it, connecting the sticker part of the bat. Sadaqat tracks back from mid-on and gobbles it up. 47/2

    18.5 Baig gets to his fifty with a boundary! Pace off ball down the leg-side, plays the sweep shot and clips it aerially wide of the short fine leg fielder. It appears he has been retired out; the Karachi Kings team manager is calling him off the field, and he's sprinting back to the dugout immediately after celebrating his half-century! Bizarre stuff! 184/6
    14.3 Labuschagne finds the breakthrough! Tossed up a fuller length ball in the slot, gets down on one knee and plays the slog sweep, closes the face of the bat early and finds Hassan Khan at deep midwicket 120/4
    18.1 Slower ball does the trick! Pace off ball on the stumps line, tries to tonk this one out of the park, miscues the stroke to the cover area for a straightforward catch to Labuschagne. Damage already done by Moeen though. 175/5
    19.6 yorker ball digs it out to long off and sets off for the second run. Khushdil was nowhere near the scenario while returning back to the crease; the throw at the keeper's end was a brilliant one and Usman Khan does the rest with the gloves. 188/8
    19.2 Taken at deep midwicket! Back of a length ball on the stumps line, full swing of the bat and connects the inner part, hits it hard and flat to Sadaqat at deep midwicket near the ropes. 185/7

    2.5 That is a stunning catch! Marvelous reflexes by Abbas Afridi who dives forward and pockets it low! Dropped down but quicker in pace around middle, he pushes it straight where the fielder was stationed. Umpire want another look to check whether it has been cleanly grabbed. Ball was in the hands whilst he was diving and made sure to clung all the way through, making sure it doesn't burst out. Labuschagne has to go! Eyes close and looks at the heavens for missing out after a bright start 36/1
    8.3 Clears front leg and lets it come to him, bit short on middle and he goes for a full-blooded swivel-pull but hasn't got all of it, not much power behind the shot and Khushdil has apparently swallowed it cleanly as he was charging in and the ball was dying at him. Third umpire wants a closer look. Looks like the fingers are under the ball and umpire is satisfied, it will remain out 96/3
    7.6 over the wicket, good length and lets it come on at middle, halfhearted stroke down the ground and plays it through the line but not fully through the stroke and just chips it straight to Hasan Ali who puts his finger on his lips and gestures him to go back to the dressing room, usually he is quite relaxed and chill, not so cool on this occasion 96/2
    10.1 Around the wicket, Salman produces the first bit of magic, saw him backing away and bowled it full and slanted towards leg stump, ball kept low and hits the timber, early departure for Saim, a very timely scalp. Could there be a collapse loading? Chance for KK to apply the squeeze 105/4
    15.1 Over the wicket, corker of a delivery rising from a shorter length on a teasing off-stump line, he goes about his business, stepping back and lifting it in the air, hits it very flat and Waseem, who has been a livewire in the field, takes a splendid running catch at deep midwicket to his right, crucial breakthrough! 139/6
    11.4 On a length and slanted back at middle, clears front leg in a bid to go for that free-wheeling swing of the bat, stayed in the air for a long time and he hasn't got all of it, third time dismissed under the strike rate of 60 and just when he tried to get on with the job, he find Khuzaima at long-on, unable to time the mow 112/5
