Both the batsmen are continuously rotating the strike to keep the score ticking. Loose balls are getting punished.

Things under control so far but got to finish on a high from here #QuettaGladiators #ShanePakistan

100 up for the Kings

FOUR! Gul to Malik, inside edge, ball runs to the fine leg

FOUR! Umar Gul to Ravi Bopara, pitched short, Bopara guides it to the deep mid wicket boundary

Mohammad Nawaz finishes off his 4 overs spell with 19 for 1

7 runs coming from that last over by Nawaz, singles and doubles are moving the scoreboard. Kings need to take risk now.

Even the new batsman Bopara is finding it difficult to find gaps.

Nawaz, Babar, and Nabi have kept Karachi Kings on the back foot throughout match till now.

Nawaz has the ball, he will be bowling his last over now.

Ravi Bopara has joined Shoaib Malik in the middle.

Left-arm spinner Zulfiqar Babar is back into the attack. Quetta in control of the match.

WICKET! What a comeback from Nabi. He strikes back, Shakib clean bowled. Little slider, drifting in, Shakib misses it completely
