0.4 to P Nissanka, Edged and taken. That's a screamer from Gurbaz! Nissanka throws his bat at a wide delivery that was seaming away. Got an outside edge and Gurbaz throws himself to his right and takes it one-handed inches off the ground. The in-form man is out early. 7/1
4.1 to BKG Mendis, Mendis miscues an attempted scoop and it's lobbed up straight to short third. It's full outside off, he goes across and looks to scoop it fine on the leg side, but gets a top edge and it's a dolly for Omarzai. Farooqi taking the pace off worked wonders. 36/2
17.5 to M Theekshana, Farooqi has a third! Dug in short again, this time Theekshana wants to pull. The ball gets an edge, goes high and Mohammad Nabi takes a very good catch running in to his left from long-on. 155/8
302528.3342020
5.4 to DM de Silva, Can he clear deep square? No! Banged in short outside off and angling into de Silva. He hit it well, pulling as he swivelled, but he hit it straight to the fielder, who takes it above head height. An intent-filled knock from DDS comes to an end. 48/3
15.6 to PW Hasaranga, Hasaranga holes out at long-off! Slower ball outside off, Hasaranga went for another drive down the ground, but doesn't time this at all. It goes high in the air and Ibrahim settles under it before taking it easily. A whirlwind knock comes to an end. That's Hasaranga's second-highest score in T20Is, and his second half-century. 146/6
403027.50103100
18.1 to MD Shanaka, Hit straight to backward point! Omarzai goes for the wide yorker and Shanaka was looking to steer it fine on the off side. He ends up slicing it straight to Naib, who enjoys some catching practice. 155/9
18.6 to B Fernando, Slower ball does the trick. Afghanistan bowl Sri Lanka out for 160! Full around off, Binura looks for a big swing but was early into his shot. The ball crashes into the off pole. 160/10
201819.0053000
7.2 to KIC Asalanka, Has he strangled him down leg? Afghanistan review. This was a length ball dragged down leg side. Asalanka went after it, trying to flick it. Gurbaz is convinced he's nicked it and convinces Ibrahim to review. And he is vindicated as UltraEdge confirms there was a slight inside edge! Afghanistan have a fourth! The wrong'un fetches Noor a wicket, although, it wasn't the best ball he has bowled by far. 55/4
3036012.0013200
302317.6662100
16.4 to AD Mathews, Big shout for lbw as a slower ball beats Mathews who was waiting on it and looking to clip it leg-side. Length ball that angles in from off. Hits him around leg. There could have been bat involved there. Afghanistan have reviewed. No bat on that. Oh, and that's three reds! That's shown to be hitting the top of leg stump. And Mathews has to walk back. 152/7

2.5 to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Pathirana holds on to a brilliant catch! Mathews gets the big wicket of Gurbaz. This was a length ball that was angling in. It straightened after pitching to take the leading edge as Gurbaz looks to whip it leg-side. Goes high and behind the wicket. Mendis left it for Pathirana at short third and the youngster makes no mistake, getting under it and grabbing it. 25/1
4044011.0097010
403117.7562100
17.1 to Qais Ahmad, Would you believe it?! He has miscued a full toss! That was there for the taking and he has a big swipe across the line. Ends up getting a leading edge that lobs up to substitute fielder Kamindu Mendis at backward point. 137/7
402015.00112000
7.5 to Gulbadin Naib, Goes through him! Hasaranga with the breakthrough. Googly tossed up on off. Naib looks to slog it away and it slides under the bat to knock back the middle stump. Hasaranga punches the air, lets out a loud roar followed by a "come on!" That's 99 T20I wickets for Wanindu Hasaranga!. 68/2
402446.00111040
8.6 to Azmatullah Omarzai, Pathirana strikes! It's full outside off, Omarzai looks for the drive, but spoons it straight to cover. Shanaka takes the catch and Pathirana is pumped!. 71/3
16.1 to Karim Janat, Huge shout for lbw, and it's given! Length ball around off, Janat was looking to work it leg side but played for the wrong line. He is hit around the knee roll of the front pad. No bat involved. And ball-tracking shows that's hitting top of middle and leg. Pathirana gets the breakthrough, ending Janat's cameo. 125/6
18.3 to Noor Ahmad, Castled! The yorker is on target there. Noor Ahmad got nowhere near the last one, he gets nowhere near this one. This one wasn't as full, but it goes under the bat and smashes into off stump. Pathirana has been fantastic today, except that last over when he gave away a bunch of wides. Other than that, absolutely brilliant!. 148/8
18.6 to Naveen-ul-Haq, Oh Pathirana, you beauty! Knocks him over! That's fired in full and fast on middle and off. Naveen had backed away and tries to get his bat down, but the yorker is on the money again! What a stunning display of fast bowling today from Pathirana!. 150/9
201728.5031020
11.2 to Mohammad Nabi, Driven straight to cover! The bowling change works again. Nabi has hit this straight to the fielder. Slower ball does the trick. Hasaranga takes it in front of his face. He is pumped, so is Shanaka. Sri Lanka are in the ascendancy here!. 85/4
11.3 to Najibullah Zadran, What a catch at long-on! It is a slower ball again, full outside off. Najibullah ends up chipping it off the inside half and DDS runs to his right to get under it and hold on while falling back. Shanaka's slower balls have done the trick, much how it got success for the Afghanistan seamers!. 86/5
