- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.5 Slower through the air ball outside off, plays it inside-out and calls for the second run again. Wait a minute! Conway is struggling to make it back to the danger end as a sharp throw comes in from deep midwicket. Usman collects it on the bounce, but oh dear, he fumbles to clip the bails on his first attempt! He goes for it again on the second try but ends up hitting the stumps with his arm. Conway looks short of his ground, and it seems Usman recovered just in time. It's a huge sigh of relief for the Kingsmen and the fielders are celebrating as Conway has to depart. We are seeing a bit of a run-out spree out there! 89/35.5 And the slower ball does the trick! Pace off length ball outside the fifth stump line, 112.4 kph, extends his arms to play the cover drive, commits a bit too early and drags it back onto the off stump. 56/19.3 quicker and fuller on the stumps, swept away with the inner part of the bat towards in front of the square. Hunain comes around and parries the ball in; the deep midwicket fielder collects it and sends a bullet throw at the stumps. Faiq was struggling for the second run and it looks like he is just short of his crease there. Massive breakthrough out of nowhere! 87/219.1 Safely caught in the deep Around the wicket, fuller on stumps. Chapman whips it and it is safely held by Irfan Niazi at deep midwicket. Good start to the over for this youngster who was taken for 15 in his only over of the match 150/613.3 Over the wicket, brilliantly taken!! Haider Ali slog swept the full length ball and it Maaz Sadaqat pouches it. He dived towards his right to grab it as the ball was dying on him. Crucial blow! 105/415.3 Loud appeal and given! Rolls his fingers on that and lands it on the hard length on the off stump. Faheem is early in his pull and the ball sneaks from under his bat to hit his back leg. Faheem reviews that one and it is all reds. Ali and Maxwell give out big smiles as the giant screen displays the ball to be hitting the stumps. 113/519.6 In the air and taken Slower fuller ball outside off and Chris Green tries to drag that one over midwicket but miscues it. Hyderabad captain runs towards his right from long on to take a good catch. 153/919.3 Caught, dropped, caught, oh he takes it in the end Back around the wicket, fuller on stumps and Imad looks to ramp it over short third man but he does well to get underneath it. Juggles it a couple of times but completes the catch in the end. Two wickets in three balls now! 152/719.4 Edged and taken Fuller length outside off and Mehran Mumtaz threw a kitchen sink at it. The ball kissed the leading edge of his bat on its way to the keeper. This over is going to do wonders for Asif's average. 152/8Extras6 (lb 4, w 2)TOTAL153/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.65)Did not bat: RJ GleesonFall of wickets: 1-56 (Sameer Minhas, 5.5 ov), 2-87 (Mohammad Faiq, 9.3 ov), 3-89 (Devon Conway, 9.5 ov), 4-105 (Haider Ali, 13.3 ov), 5-113 (Faheem Ashraf, 15.3 ov), 6-150 (Mark Chapman, 19.1 ov), 7-152 (Imad Wasim, 19.3 ov), 8-152 (Mehran Mumtaz, 19.4 ov), 9-153 (Chris Green, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.5 In the air and taken The captain's decision to introduce himself into the attack has worked. Length ball on stumps, Maaz moves to the leg side to hit it down the ground but miscues it. Faheem settles under the ball, which had gone miles up in the air, and juggled it before completing the catch. Come on, lads, start taking them on first attempt. They have been raising millions of heartbeats with such juggles today. 50/113.1 Edged and gone! Just when Saim Ayub was looking good with the bat, he decided to throw his wicket away. Hard length ball angling away on the fifth stump channel, shimmies down the track and attempts to poke this one through third man, getting a fine nick off the outside part of the bat and the keeper does the rest behind the stumps. 110/213.4 Length ball sliding down the leg-side, plays the flick shot and does not connect. Soft appeal from both the keeper and the bowler, but the umpire is not interested. Green has a chat with Faheem and opts to send it upstairs to have another look, with just 3 seconds remaining on the timer. Hello, hello. Looks like United are back in action! There's a faint spike as the ball passes the bat, and Usman Khan bites the dust! 112/314.4 Skipper strikes! Generously flighted fuller length ball around the fifth stump line, shuffles across and plays the slog sweep, hits it flat and hard to the deep backward square leg fielder, who didn't have to move an inch there to gobble it up. 115/4Extras7 (b 1, lb 1, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL157/4 (18.1 Overs, RR: 8.64)Fall of wickets: 1-50 (Maaz Sadaqat, 4.5 ov), 2-110 (Saim Ayub, 13.1 ov), 3-112 (Usman Khan, 13.4 ov), 4-115 (Kusal Perera, 14.4 ov)
