Too full to play the horizontal bat shot. Cramped for room and the top edge loops tamely into the hands of Iftikhar at midwicket. After 10. 1 overs the game looked all but dead. Sri Lanka were blown away and left in tatters at 28-5, which is when Shehan Jayasuriya and Dasun Shanaka came together. Their record breaking partnership of 177 got the visitors much closer than anyone expected but they fell just short in the end. Pakistan might have Usman Shinwari to thank for his 5-51 and he was brilliant on a flat deck. Pakistan lead the series 1-0 with one game to play on the 2nd October. Join us then.

Shadab wraps it up. Hasaranga miscues a pull shot and gets holed out to deep midwicket.

Dances down the track and plays it aerially towards deep cover point, it lands safely, Imad ran quickly to keep it down to double.

Typical tailenders wicket. Expecting the bouncer when leg slip is brought in but Wahab bluffs him and goes full. Feet go nowhere and he is trapped plumb in front.
45.6 - W Riaz to L Kumara
WICKET! Kumara didn't pick up the length ball. He was ducking under this full length ball, raps him right on the front pad. Stone dead.

45.5 - W Riaz to L Kumara
Back of a length, in the channel, left alone for the keeper to collect. That's an interesting choice of a shot at this stage of the game.

Good length on the stumps, Hasaranga makes room to guide it down to third man

Width to free the arms. Knowing where the fielders are and going over them.
45.3 - W Riaz to W Hasaranga
Good length, angled across off, stand and deliver smack over extra cover, couple of bounces and crashes onto the advertising hoardings.
