Umar Gul	24	2	92	1	3.83	105	14	0	1	0
0.4 to NT Paranavitana, Not the best start to his Test career! Short of a good length on the off stump, angling away from the left hander, prods at it coming half forward, gets a thick outside edge straight to Misbah-ul-Haq at second slip. 3/1

Yasir Arafat	26	2	90	1	3.46	109	9	0	0	2
17.6 to SM Warnapura, finally a wicket! A timely one for Pakistan! Good length on middle and off and moving away, gets forward and tries to push it back towards the bowler, gets a thick outside edge and Misbah takes a good catch diving to his right at second slip. He's plucked it with one hand there, sharp reflexes from the big man. 93/2
Shoaib Malik	36	3	140	2	3.88	133	14	0	0	6
146.4 to DPMD Jayawardene, gone finally!! The stand is finally broke! Goes for the sweep, is hit on the gloves, the ball lobs up behind Akmal who dives full length to pluck that out with his left hand. Excellent innings by the captain, he's put his team in absolute command here. 614/4 148.1 to TM Dilshan, edged and gone! Dilshan departs for a duck and its tea! Malik bowls round the wicket, lands on a good length outside off, tries to defend on the off side, gets a thick edge straight to Akmal. 614/6
Danish Kaneria	46.2	5	170	3	3.66	190	22	0	0	1
38.1 to KC Sangakkara, Misbah takeshis third catch, wicket against the run of play here! Flighted outside off, charges down the track and attempts to clear Misbah at midwicket but fails, he holds on to a sharp chance and gives Pakistan a glimmer of hope on a placid pitch. 177/3 147.5 to TT Samaraweera, bowled'im!! Pushed through a touch quicker, was the googly, kept low and Samaraweera failed to spot it, and did not bring his bat down in time, got a thin inside edge into the off stump and Kaneria finally breaks through. 614/5 155.2 to HAPW Jayawardene, quicker one on middle stump, tries to cut it away but fails to pick it, misses it completely and the stumps take a beating!. 644/7

138.4 to Misbah-ul-Haq, gone!! A wicket, finally! Bowled on a good length on the off stump and nipped back in, was half-forward as he tried to defend, missed it and was struck in line with middle. Correct decision by Steve Davis, who raises his finger immediately. 357/4 210.2 to Younis Khan, Gone! Good length on the off stump and jagged back in sharply, gets on the back foot to defend but was bowled through the gate, end of an absolutely superb innings by the Pakistan captain, unfortunate to have missed out on the record but he's ensured his team saves the first Test after facing a mammoth score of 644 from Sri Lanka. 596/6
Ajantha Mendis	59	14	157	1	2.66	267	10	3	1	3
33.6 to Khurram Manzoor, gone!!! Quicker one, spun the other way, bowled at 91.2 kmph, lands short of a good length on the off stump, Manzoor got onto the back foot to defend it on the off side, expected it to spin into him, got a thick edge and Prasanna Jayawardene snapped a sharp catch. 78/2

184.2 to Faisal Iqbal, the slower offfcutter does the trick, short of a length outside off and moved in sharply, there to pull but he's too early into the short, hit on the pads in line with middle, Davis raises his finger. 531/5

0.5 to SM Warnapura, edged and gone!! Good length outside off, pushes at it lazily, gets a thin edge and Akmal dives low to his left to take a sharp catch, could there be a twist in the tale here?. 2/1 6.6 to TM Dilshan, gone!! Long hop on middle, goes for the pull, mistimes it straight to Faisal Iqbal at deep square leg, who's standing well inside the ropes. His aggressive streak has brought about his downfall here, couldn't resist the temptation to dismiss a short ball. 45/3

19.3 to DPMD Jayawardene, Mahela goes! Tossed up outside leg stump, tries to work it away in front square, ended up playing straight to Faisal Iqbal at short leg who held on to a sharp chance. Big blow and the pressure is back on!. 103/4 23.3 to KC Sangakkara, he's given him! That looked out on first sight, short of a length outside off and spun in sharply, walked across to play it away on the leg side, missed it and was rapped on the pads right in front of middle, that was plumb!. 120/5
