An exhibition match of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) at the Nawab Akbar Bugti Stadium was halted for some time following a reported explosion in the Police Lines area, which left five people injured.

Top Pakistani cricketers, including captain Babar Azam and Shahid Afridi, among others, were taken to the safety of the dressing room midway through the match.

However, what was earlier being reported as a bomb blast near the stadium, was later revealed as an incident where a few people outside threw stones and put something on fire.
