End of over 20 (9 runs) Lahore Qalandars 194/3

DJ Bravo 4 (5b 0x4 0x6)
Naved Yasin 0 (0b 0x4 0x6)
Anwar Ali 4-0-26-1
Umar Gul 4-0-50-1
"It is a very nice wicket. Still something for the bowlers though," says Cameron Delport. "Sitting there and watching it, Akmal played unbelievably well"
Haris A: "Fantastic innings from Umar Akmal. Toyed with the bowlers all day, and he's made up for the absence of Chris Gayle. If only he had played like my cousin Umer, then Quetta would have gotten him out for 1"
Dr.faheem: "Suddenly bowling pitches changed into batting pitches by umer akmal..superb hitting" ---- This one was a better surface, thanks to the curator leaving a little more moisture to hold it together. Then there was the ball coming onto the bat better under lights.
19.6
Anwar Ali to Bravo, 1 leg bye, finds the yorker, and he does so after following Bravo who was moving down leg. Single through square leg
KP catches up with Akmal before he leaves to shake his hand
19.5
Anwar Ali to Umar Akmal, OUT, has he got it? has he cleared the ground again? He has been muscling those short balls away all night, but this time he has picked out the fielder at deep square leg. Certainly made the most of the buffet.
Umar Akmal c Akbar-ur-Rehman b Anwar Ali 93 (40b 6x4 8x6) SR: 232.50
19.4
Anwar Ali to Umar Akmal, 2 runs, slower short ball and Akmal gets inside the line and pulls it towards the fine leg boundary. Babar is the man running around and flicks it back inside the field of play
Three balls left, nine runs needed for Akmal's hundred
19.3
Anwar Ali to Bravo, 1 run, full on middle, clipped calmly to deep square leg for a single
19.2
Anwar Ali to Umar Akmal, 1 run, full toss on leg stump gets a top edge as Akmal slogs. The fielder at deep square leg runs up, but never looked like getting under it. Akbar there, could have been a catch
19.1
Anwar Ali to Umar Akmal, FOUR, misses the blockhole and when that happens against Akmal in this form, it disappears. Whipped to the wide long-on boundary. Just a couple of bounces. Imagine the bottom-hand strength it takes for that.
