2.2 to K Mishara, a soft dismissal. A length ball around off. Mishara looked to go over mid-off but didn't get any power behind it. A straightforward catch there for Agha. 13/1 18.1 to MD Shanaka, around the stumps to the right-hander. Length ball, with a lot of width offered. Shanaka throws his bat at this, tries to clatter it over the off side, but all he does is slice it over the off side. Straight into the hands of deep backward point. Good field placement. 127/8 18.3 to PVD Chameera, slot ball, but driven straight to cover! Full just outside off and Chameera takes the right option by trying to clear cover. But it comes off the bat's bottom half, and it just doesn't have the timing to clear the infield. 128/9 | ||||||||||

3.2 to P Nissanka, taken on the second attempt - Nissanka departs. A length ball outside off. Nissanka loves to play that regal pull. He goes for it but there's no timing on it. Nawaz settles under it at deep square leg. The ball pops out but he grabs the second chance. 15/2 19.2 to M Theekshana, yorker length outside off. Bit of reverse swing. Goes past off stump as the batter misses the ball. Pakistan review thinking there's an inside edge. And there is! Sri Lanka all out for 128. 128/10 | ||||||||||

6.3 to BKG Mendis, a big appeal for lbw and given. Shadab has a wicket with his third ball on return, or has he? Because Mendis has opted for a review, albeit not immediately. It was full ball from Shadab, pitched around middle and off. Mendis went for the pull but the ball snuck underneath the bat. Nothing on the UltraEdge. The impact was in front of off and it would have gone on to hit the outside of off stump. It's umpire's call, so that stays out. 37/3 6.5 to DM de Silva, a googly. Was there an inside edge? Yes, it has been given caught behind. Shadab has two in three balls. It was full and outside off from Shadab. De Silva went for a drive away from the body but got a big inside edge. Usman did well to cling onto it, using his hand to make sure it stayed stuck to his groin. Debutant umpire Chamara De Zoysa first didn't move but raised his finger as soon as Shadab singalled for the review. 38/4 | ||||||||||

11.3 to KIC Asalanka, a beautiful delivery! Slower through the air, and this grips and turns away after pitching outside off. Asalanka goes for a big slog sweep, and it's taken his outside edge. Very good take by the keeper and Abrar doesn't even bother appealing because he's so sure Asalanka will walk. And walk he does.. 72/5 15.2 to PW Hasaranga, holes out at long off, and Abrar does the Hasaranga 'Neymar Jr' celebration! Full and quite wide outside off. Hasaranga wants to take Abrar on, but it's too far wide. He miscues a shot over the off side, and it's in wide long-off's range to take the catch. The turn away made it even more difficult for Hasaranga. Strong partnership ends. 110/6 17.4 to J Liyanage, straight to Nawaz at long on! Full ball, outside off. Bit of turn away. Liyanage tries to muscle it down the ground but it isn't off the bat's sweet spot. Dragged down the V, and it's an easy one from long-on. 127/7 | ||||||||||

11.5 to Sahibzada Farhan, soft dismissal, in the end! Comes high off Farhan's bat as he tries to drive on the up through the off side. Easy one for mid off. Not full enough to drive over cover. Fails to lift it. But a potentially match-winning innings right here!. 101/3 | ||||||||||

13.2 to Fakhar Zaman, stumped! Fakhar totally misses that. Full ball slid in from around the stumps. Angling into Fakhar. He comes down the track to slog across the line. Misses. Kusal collects the ball next to leg stump and then does the rest. 106/4 | ||||||||||
