Sri Lanka innings (50 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
ST Jayasuriya	lbw b Sohail Tanvir	8	19	14	1	0	57.14
4.1 lbw! Tanvir pitches the ball on a good length outside off and seams it into the left-hander, Jayasuriya gets caught on the crease and the ball beats his tentative defence and thuds into the pad plumb in front of middle, this time Tony Hill agrees with Tanvir's appeal 22/1
KC Sangakkara†	b Sohail Tanvir	112	202	110	10	1	101.81
46.6 bowled him! Tanvir gets his fourth! Sangakkara moves outside the line of off stump and tries to chip a full ball over the fielder at short fine leg, he misses and the ball hits off and middle stump, off he goes to get some rest before he comes out to keep again, excellent innings 271/5
DPMD Jayawardene*	c Misbah-ul-Haq b Sohail Tanvir	29	45	40	5	0	72.50
13.3 caught! Jayawardene tries to cut the ball once again but this time the line is too close to the body for the shot, he doesn't time it well and the ball flies towards point where Misbah takes a sharp catch to his right 62/2
CK Kapugedera	c Younis Khan b Mansoor Amjad	43	65	58	2	2	74.13
28.4 Amjad's picked up his maiden wicket!! He pitched the ball outside off stump and Kapugedera tried to play the slog sweep against the turn, he got a top edge that flew high in the air towards deep midwicket where Younis Khan settled under the catch, Amjad is understandably and visibly delighted 150/3
LPC Silva	c †Sarfraz Ahmed b Sohail Tanvir	46	54	48	5	0	95.83
42.3 caught! Tanvir delivers from extremely wide of the crease and angles the ball into the right-hander, Silva stays in his crease and opens the face, trying to play the ball to third man, the ball bounces a bit more and takes the edge through to Sarfraz 243/4
T Thushara	c Wahab Riaz b Sohail Tanvir	28	30	20	2	1	140.00
48.4 caught! And well caught! Tanvir picks up his maiden five-for in ODIs, he pitched the ball short and Thushara pulled it flat off the front foot, the ball was traveling flat and quickly towards deep midwicket where Wahab ran to his left and took a sharp catch 288/6
TM Dilshan	b Wahab Riaz	8	16	7	1	0	114.28
49.3 bowled him! The ball wasn't that short and Dilshan tried to pull it over midwicket, he got a bottom edge that went on to hit his stumps 298/7
WPUJC Vaas	not out	4	8	3	0	0	133.33

Pakistan innings (target: 303 runs from 50 overs)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
Salman Butt	b Vaas	0	1	1	0	0	0.00
0.1 bowled him! What a start! Vaas hits the perfect length first up and pitches it just outside off, the ball nips back into the left-hander and Butt drives forward at it, he gets a thin inside edge on to his stumps, he hardly moved his feet and turned around in time to see the ball clip off stump I wonder if Younis will be ready to walk out! 0/1
Shoaib Malik*	st †Sangakkara b Mendis	52	126	79	3	0	65.82
31.6 he's done him in with a legcutter! Malik came out of his crease to play the ball on the leg side, Mendis beat him with a shorter length and slid the legcutter just enough to beat the outside of the bat, Sangakkara did the rest, Malik's gone for 52 off 79 balls which is just not good enough I'm afraid 133/4
Younis Khan	c Muralitharan b Kulasekara	47	80	60	7	0	78.33
16.5 huge wicket! Younis tries to pull another short ball but it was slightly slower, the ball hit high on the bat and lobbed up towards midwicket where Murali pedaled backwards and took the catch, he raised his arms in delight at completing it 72/2
Mohammad Yousuf	lbw b Mendis	19	34	29	2	0	65.51
25.6 lbw! Yousuf tries to sweep and gets his front foot a long way across his stumps, Mendis beats him with a fullish delivery which went straight on to hit Yousuf low on the front pad in front of middle, that's pretty plumb, it was too full for the sweep 108/3
Misbah-ul-Haq	b Mendis	76	80	70	3	4	108.57
46.3 Misbah's resistance ends, he goes for a huge heave and misses a straight one from Mendis and gets bowled, Mendis has his fourth wicket 219/7
Shahid Afridi	c sub (J Mubarak) b Jayasuriya	0	5	1	0	0	0.00
32.3 what's Afridi done here? He's facing his first ball and he tries to smash it against the spin on the leg side, Jayasuriya tosses it up wide outside the off stump, Afridi makes contact outside off and skies the ball high in the air towards long off where the substitute Mubarak takes the catch 135/5
Mansoor Amjad	lbw b Mendis	5	11	10	0	0	50.00
35.5 lbw! Mendis pitches the ball on off stump and skids it through to Amjad who gets hit low on the front pad in front of middle stump, that is a quicker ball and Mendis appeals confidently, Tony Hill raises the finger 153/6
Sarfraz Ahmed†	b Kulasekara	19	48	31	0	0	61.29
47.2 bowled him! Kulasekara pitches the slower ball on a good length on off stump and slants it into the right-hander, Sarfraz tries to cut but gets beaten by the change of pace 223/8
