- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.2 Massive appeal and given! Slower through the air ball on a length, pitching on middle-leg and turning in sharply, plays off the back foot and thuds the inner thigh pad. Nawaz pleads for the LBW and convinces the umpire. Nafay sends it upstairs immediately. No bat is involved, confirmed by the Ultra Edge. Pitching in line, impact is in line and clipping the top of middle-off, umpire's call and Nafay has to depart! 13/12.1 Turner strikes! Length ball on middle-leg from around the wicket, walks forward and plays the lofted stroke across the line; the bat face rotates and chips it to the mid-on fielder at the edge of the circle. 15/216.1 Gifted his wicket away! Short of a length ball wide outside off, it was there to be hit, and the set batter Shakeel heaves it high in the air, mistimes the stroke and finds the long on fielder. 119/59.1 Flighted length ball with a hint of turn around off, plays the cover drive late and gets beaten by the flight and turn. An appeal for the stumping. Does Nawaz have anything behind the line? Hang on, wait a minute! Philippe was lightning-fast with the stumping! Nawaz lost his balance during the follow-through, leaving his back foot in the air for just a few seconds - more than enough time for Philippe to do the rest behind the stumps. 70/39.5 Rossouw's struggle with the bat continues! A fraction short of a length ball on the stumps, clears the front leg and whips it away flat and hard towards the deep midwicket fielder. Shan Masood didn't have to move an inch there, gobbles it up comfortably. 72/416.5 Turner takes a blinder! Back of a length ball around the fifth stump line, makes room outside leg and swats it down firmly, hitting it flat and hard to the left of short cover. Turner dives to his left side, fully stretched and holds on to it. 122/619.5 low full toss ball hammers it straight of long off, the long on fielder comes around and slides on to keep the ball in play. It looks like Daniyal has pulled his hamstring; he's down on the ground and the physio has come out to attend to him. It's a tough sight as Daniyal is forced to retire hurt. Both physios are supporting him as they slowly make their way back to the dugout - a massive blow for the Gladiators. They're actually having to carry him off the field now. 164/619.6 Low full toss ball whips it away towards in front of the square, the sweeper fielder comes around and slides on, Akram the fielder there, saved a boundary. The midwicket fielder then collects the ball and sends the throw at the keeper's end, where Joseph is well short of his ground. 166/7Extras3 (lb 1, w 2)TOTAL166/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.3)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Khawaja Nafay, 1.2 ov), 2-15 (Shamyl Hussain, 2.1 ov), 3-70 (Hasan Nawaz, 9.1 ov), 4-72 (Rilee Rossouw, 9.5 ov), 5-119 (Saud Shakeel, 16.1 ov), 6-122 (Tom Curran, 16.5 ov), 6-164* (Ahmed Daniyal, retired not out ), 7-166 (Alzarri Joseph, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.1 Straight up in the air, and Abrar holds on to it! Hard length ball and Farhan goes for the big heave, commits a bit too early and miscues the stroke towards the third man area. Three fielders converge, including the wicket keeper. But Abrar calls for it, settles underneath and collects it cleanly in the end. 71/113.3 Has he got enough? No! Rossouw has done brilliantly near the ropes! Length ball in the slot around off, gets down on one knee and plays the slog sweep, got plenty of elevation but just not enough to sail it over Rossouw. He was sprinting from deep square leg to his left, managing to hang onto a stunning running catch before tossing the ball to the deep midwicket fielder, the substitute fielder Saqib, just as he lost his balance over the ropes. The third umpire is reviewing the catch to see if Rossouw touched the ropes while still in possession of the ball, but it looks like he's executed it perfectly! 136/37.6 Philippe bites the dust! Back of a length ball around off, hangs back and plays the short hand jab over the covers, thickish outside edge and chips a regulation catch to short third. 96/215.3 Nawaz gets his second scalp! Good length ball flighted on the stumps from around the wicket, tries to prod it down off the front foot, plays down the wrong line and thuds the front pad. The umpire raises his finger immediately, and Minhas decides to stay with the original decision. 148/4Extras8 (lb 1, w 7)TOTAL167/4 (17.3 Overs, RR: 9.54)Fall of wickets: 1-71 (Sahibzada Farhan, 5.1 ov), 2-96 (Josh Philippe, 7.6 ov), 3-136 (Steven Smith, 13.3 ov), 4-148 (Arafat Minhas, 15.3 ov)
