Watson to Usama Mir, wide, out Usama Mir Run Out!! That's smart work from Billings, a wicket and a dot ball for United. This was the slower bouncer from Watson, Mir was looking to pull and missed, he wandered down the track aimlessly, Billings under arms the throw and finds the target. Bopara doesn't get to face the next ball either, it's called as a wide for height though, not a dot then. Usama Mir run out (S Billings) 10(9) [4s-1]

Saifullah Bangash c Imran Khalid b Ajmal 0(1)

Ajmal to Shakib, out Caught by Imran Khalid!! That's another huge blow for Karachi. This was tossed up on off, Shakib made room outside leg, gets down low and slog sweeps it towards deep mid-wicket, it went flat and straight to Khalid - who holds on.

Sami to Shoaib Malik, out Bowled!! For sometime now he was dabbing the ball and tapping it from outside off, this time the length was not short and the line was quite closer to off, Malik tried to run it down to third man, instead ended up chopping it back to the stumps. He looks dejected, swishes his bat in anger, he knows that was a poor shot. The captain departs and all of a sudden this target has started looking like a precipice for Karachi. Shoaib Malik b Sami 6(11)

A Russell to Imad Wasim, out Caught by S Billings!! He has edged it into the hands of the keeper, in fact he guided it into the hands of Billings, it was a length delivery angled across Wasim, who wanted to run it down to third man, got it too fine and the keeper moved to his right to take a simple catch. Wasim was looking good but he has gifted his wicket to bring Islamabad back in the game. Imad Wasim c S Billings b A Russell 29(17) [4s-6]

What a start for Islamabad! Captain is the new man out of hutch. Malik walks into the middle. James Vince lbw b Ajmal 2(11)
1.4 -
Imran Khalid to James Vince, out Simmons Run Out!! That is a horrible miscommunication and Simmons has to go. Vince made room on this tossed up delivery and flayed the drive to the fielder at cover, Zaidi fumbled and Vince sensed a run, Simmons responded first but then stopped in the middle after seeing Zaidi recover and latch onto the ball, the confusion did not help Simmons's cause and he was caught short at the striker's end on a good throw to the keeper. United strike early. Simmons run out (Zaidi/S Billings) 1(3)
