21.3 to Taufeeq Umar, Taufeeq goes, a big strike for Sri Lanka, short and wide and he'd dispatched those deliveries for boundaries earlier in the innings, perhaps it didn't bounce as much as he would have liked, a thin edge and Prasanna, standing up to the stumps, makes no mistake, a sharp catch that. 78/1

133.4 to Azhar Ali, Azhar's vigil is over, Randiv gets his first wicket of the innings, Azhar looks for the reverse-sweep but doesn't get hold of it properly, hit off the middle but the ball loops to Kulasekara at point, and Azhar is gone for 157, matching his previous highest score. 486/4
49516433.341818100
103.4 to Mohammad Hafeez, got him! no double century for Hafeez, that was a flighted and full delivery from Herath, Hafeez went for the sweep after coming down the track but couldn't get bat on it, the ball knocks back leg stump, and a mammoth partnership comes to an end, Hafeez gone for 196, stand was worth 287, that was a bold shot to attempt with a double-century in sight. 365/2
123.3 to Younis Khan, Younis falls trying the sweep, a borderline call that, it was an arm ball that Younis looked to work towards square leg, he had taken a huge stride forward, he misses the ball and is struck just below the knee roll around off stump, might have been just outside, the umpire was convinced, Younis wasn't too happy with that, Herath gets reward for his tireless efforts. 435/3
142.2 to Adnan Akmal, another wicket for Herath, tossed up by him, Adnan looks to drive through cover, but ends up looping it towards short cover, simple catch. 519/6

3.6 to NT Paranavitana, the first breakthrough for Pakistan!they needed an early wicket, Paranavitana has gone for a duck, back of a length ball comes in a touch, Paranavitana looks to defendm gets a thick inside-edge on to his thigh pad, the ball then deflects towards short leg, who seizes it and that's the end of Paranavitana. 11/1
69.6 to TM Dilshan, a wicket, after 66 overs, Dilshan given right away by umpire Taufel, Junaid angling it in from round the stumps, on a good length, some inward movement in the air as well as Dilshan pushed forward to defend, did not seem to be an inside edge, the ball brushed the flap of the back pad, just in front of off. 236/2
73.5 to DPMD Jayawardene, Mahela gets a duck on the SSC pitch, padding up to one that nipped back in from short of a length, looked a shade high though, hitting him above the back pad, but like Taufeeq had done in the first innings in Galle, Mahela did not help his case by not offering a stroke. 250/3
117.3 to AD Mathews, you don't need the bouncer though as he pitches it back of a length outside off, Mathews played down the wrong line and feathers it through to the keeper, a wicket at last for Pakistan today. 370/6
121.2 to KMDN Kulasekara, five for Junaid, and another duck in this lopsided innings, that was a yorker that sneaked under Kulasekara's bat and crashed into the middle and leg stumps, great work from the young Pakistan fast bowler, there hasn't been much in the track to support him, actually there was an inside-edge on that, Junaid holds the ball aloft to signal his five-for. 379/8
34010613.111356200
78.5 to TT Samaraweera, another duck, two centuries and three ducks now, tossed up on middle, good length, Thilan goes back, and the ball hurries in to strike him in front of leg, given after a long appeal by umpire Gould. 259/4
26.457842.921146100
85.4 to S Randiv, Rehman strikes with the new ball, angles it in, Randiv playing forward for the turn, struck in front of middle and off, plumb. 278/5
120.2 to KC Sangakkara, GONE! Sangakkara misses another double-century, oh dear, and that is not a stroke he will want to see again, it was a harmless delivery, he shuffles down the track and whips it to square leg, easy catch there, soft end to the innings, he was looking to whack that over mid-on but didn't get to the pitch of the ball, note to SL dressing room: Stay clear of Sanga for a while, he's going to be furious with himself. 378/7
122.6 to HAPW Jayawardene, and another wicket for Pakistan, the third for Rehman, not sure what Prasanna was trying to do there, it was a short of length ball spinning away outside off, he just left his bat hanging there and the ball takes the edge through to the keeper. 385/9
124.4 to N Pradeep, and that is the end of Sri Lanka's innings, they finish on 391 as the No. 11 plays a shot worthy of a No. 11, it was well outside off but Pradeep swipes at it, gets a top-edge which sends the ball swirling towards mid-on, went high up but Ajmal holds on to it, screams of delight from the Pakistan fielders as they get a chance to rest up in the dressing room. 391/10

10.3 to Mohammad Hafeez, tossed up and on the pads, Hafeez skipped down and flicked that, seemingly for more runs but that lobbed to square leg where Dilshan was waiting. 51/1
16.4 to Abdur Rehman, bowled 'im, that pitches outside leg and spins towards the stumps, Rehman was looking to poke that to the off side, can't get bat on it, takes the leg bail, end of a fine hand. 99/2

11.6 to TM Dilshan, given, Rehman's day just got better, Dilshan is gone lbw, that was a close call, Taufel is convinced, that pitch on middle and hit Dilshan on the pads in front of leg stump, well back in th crease, loud appeal and Taufel thinks that will take leg, he might be right, but there was some doubt, Dilshan not too thrilled with the decision. 48/1

20.2 to NT Paranavitana, huge appeal for lbw, and that is given out, Paranavitana was looking for the off spinner, that wasn't the conventional delivery, strikes him on the pad in front of off stump, umpire raises the finger, Paranavitana gone for 32, done enough to merit a place for the third Test?. 78/2
