it's a six! Andre Russell, you beauty! Scenes at Sharjah, and Dean Jones is on his feet! It's a back-of-a-length ball on middle stump, Russell stands tall and muscles this over long on. McCullum - at long on - has no chance!

12.30am That is now Lahore's sixth-consecutive defeat. They came close, didn't they? But just not good enough tonight. It's been an excellent game of cricket. Cricket, T20 cricket especially, is a game of such fine margins and today shows exactly that.
Remember that catch Yasir Shah dropped off Islamabad's final ball? Remember the wide Fizz bowled in the super over? Remember the many dot balls Baz ate today? It all makes a difference in this format. Islamabad United win a thriller, and we hope you enjoyed the coverage as much as we enjoyed bringing it to you.
That's all from us. It's Sreshth Shah, on behalf of Ranjith P, signing off. Thanks for your company. Bye bye!

Mustafizur to Russell, SIX runs
Big conference between Baz and Fizz here. Reminder: a tie means Lahore win. Yasir Shah joins the conference too. Kyle Mills shows a stoic look at the dug out.

Mustafizur to Russell, FOUR runs
short on middle stump, pulls, but it's been top edged! Flies over Ramdin's head, and it's a boundary! Gets the equation down to three off the final ball

Mustafizur to Russell, 1 wide
full and wide outside off. Too wide! The drama's going to continue. Ramdin does really well to get his body behind the line. Awry line

Mustafizur to Asif Ali, 1 run
short on middle stump, tries to pull but bottom edged to the keeper. Ramdin misfields, as the ball goes between his legs. Doesn't go too far, though. Eight needed off two balls

Mustafizur to Asif Ali, no run
short and wide outside off, forces the batsman to reach at it but he can't connect. Is it a wide? Nooo, Fizz gets away with it.

Mustafizur to Asif Ali, SIX runs
McCullum drops the catch at long on, and it's a six! He's furious. It's full on leg stump, and lifted over the bowler's head. Two fielders congregating there, but Umar Akmal got in the way of Baz's attempted catch. Tries to flick it back, but can't.

Mustafizur to Russell, 1 run
good length on middle stump, pulled over midwicket to the man at cow corner. Falls just in front of the fielder there. Russell gets off strike. Fifteen needed off five balls
Shiv: "Remember that drop catch from yasir shah in the last ball of the 1st innings "
Yep, looks like it's Mustafizur whose gonna bowl. Russell takes strike. Sit back, fellas. The last six balls of this epic T20 match.
SUPER OVER - END OF OVER15 runs • 1 wicket

Advantage Lahore in Sharjah. If it's a tie, they're certain to win. They have five more boundaries than Islamabad.
Conference between Ramdin and McCullum near the boundary rope. It's either Narine or Fizz whose gonna bowl the super over for Lahore. Both are practicing, probably so that the Islamabad batsmen remain confused. Russell's padded up, so is Asif Ali.
Muhammad ayub : "How it is decided that which team will bat 1st in super over.?" -- team that bats second in regular time, bats first in the super over. It's a rule

Sami to Zaman, 2 runs
yorker wide outside off, crunches it to deep extra cover on the full. They'll come back for the second. Islamabad need 16 to win
Here's Fakhar, only one ball for him to face. How can Lahore finish?
Fine leg's gone back, third man's come up.

Sami to Umar Akmal, 1 run
yorker on middle stump. Can't put that away! Dug away towards the off side and Akmal scampers across

Sami to Umar Akmal, SIX runs
top edged for a maximum! You can't set a field for that kinda shot. Back of a length outside off, tries to slog towards the leg side, but it takes the outside edge. Goes over the keeper's head and beyond the ropes! Akmal takes full advantage of Sami's pace
Malik Tanzeel: "How the match is twisted in last overs, i think super overs will also be tied" -- teams with more boundaries win, in case of a tie

Sami to Umar Akmal, no run
short on off stump, tries to pull but can't connect. Goes over his shoulder and through to Ronchi. Excellent delivery
Here's Umar Akmal. He's taking strike. Four balls to go.

Sami to McCullum, OUT
another flat-batted six, oh no! He's holed out. That fielder came in after the first ball, and Baz tries to repeat that. It's good length on middle once again, but McCullum pings it straight to deep backward square. That's one down

Sami to McCullum, SIX runs
swivels! And it's a flat-batted six! Good length on middle stump, goes deep into the crease and pulls over the square-leg umpire. Lands flat just beyond the rope. No one there in the deep
Lahore will bat first in the super over. Sami to bowl. Brendon McCullum and Fakhar Zaman in the middle. Remember, two wickets in hand.
