- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.3 Safely held at long off Comes from over the wicket and pushes this one outside off. It is a slower one again at fullish length and Conway drills it to Abdullah Fazal 79/44.2 Slower ball, short of length, Sameer drags it to the onside and Abdullah Fazal takes a brilliant catch diving forward at cow. He looks in some pain and stays on the floor after completing the catch. The physio and team doctor are out and are currently attending him. Seems like he has done something to his abdomen. 20/15.5 Gone! Slower ball brings another wicket Faiq had stepped out to Naseem earlier so Naseem drags his length further back and gives a good roll of his fingers on that one. Faiq looks to pull that one but the ball takes the leading edge of his bat and balloons to Amir on the fine leg who completes an easy catch 29/26.1 And he strikes first ball. Short ball outside off and Shadab cuts that one right into the hands of point fielder. Saad lets out a big laugh as he knows that was not a ball which would get him a wicket often. Islamabad United in trouble. 30/312.1 Huge appeal! Fullish on stumps and Chapman misses sweep. The on-field umpire turns it down and Rizwan has gone upstairs. It seems to be angling down and there is a clear gap between the bat and ball. Ball tracking coming up. IT IS OUT! Impact is in line and the wickets are also hitting. It has turned out to be a great review. Everything is going right for Rawalpindiz today. It has been a long, long wait for them. 79/515.2 Leg-break on length, lands that one on stumps and moves it away. Haider Ali goes for a big swing but top-edges it to the leg side and Abdullah Fazal takes a catch at midwicket. Abdullah has been busy in the field today. 93/616.3 Crucial wicket! Slower bouncer and it is caught behind. Faheem went for an upper cut and the ball took a feather edge of his bat on its way to Rizwan's gloves.. oohhh! There is a fiery exchange going on between the two and some Rawalpindiz players have done the right thing by separating them. 99/719.3 Swats that one down the ground and rushes back to the striker's end to farm the strike. It is a good throw and Rizwan dislodges the bails. 137/819.4 Slower ball, outside off, and Hasnain mis-hits it to Billings at cover. Nine runs and two wickets in the over so far 137/919.6 Big appeal and given! Slower ball on length, angling in stumps, Gleeson walks down and the ball thuds his front pad as he is late on flick. He was walking out and remembered his team had a review so he has sent it upstairs. All three reds and he had already taken off his helmet, gloves and arm guard in the dugout when the Faisal Afridi confirmed it to be out. 137/10Extras8 (b 2, lb 1, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL137 all out (20 Overs, RR: 6.85)Fall of wickets: 1-20 (Sameer Minhas, 4.2 ov), 2-29 (Mohammad Faiq, 5.5 ov), 3-30 (Shadab Khan, 6.1 ov), 4-79 (Devon Conway, 11.3 ov), 5-79 (Mark Chapman, 12.1 ov), 6-93 (Haider Ali, 15.2 ov), 7-99 (Faheem Ashraf, 16.3 ov), 8-137 (Chris Green, 19.3 ov), 9-137 (Mohammad Hasnain, 19.4 ov), 10-137 (Richard Gleeson, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 In the air and taken at mid on Starts from around the wicket and it is a length ball. Fazal goes for a slog sweep and top-edges it to Chris Green who takes a simple catch. Whatta start! 0/112.5 Gleeson takes a brilliant catch diving forward! Length ball on off, Rizwan went for a slog sweep but top-edged it. Gleeson runs from fine leg to complete the catch near the batting end. Twist in the tale? 92/39.3 Caught at midwicket Targets shorted boundary but hits into the wind. Shorter ball and he gets on the backfoot to launch it over legside boundary. Hits right under Sameer's throat. 78/214.3 Smart work from Shadab! Runs out Billings at the non-striker's end. Short ball outside off and it is hit back to Shadab, Billings was backing up and is meters down the pitch when Shadab collects the ball and runs him out. United are crawling back into the match. 99/4Extras6 (lb 2, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL140/4 (18.1 Overs, RR: 7.7)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Abdullah Fazal, 0.1 ov), 2-78 (Kamran Ghulam, 9.3 ov), 3-92 (Mohammad Rizwan, 12.5 ov), 4-99 (Sam Billings, 14.3 ov)
