2.4 OUT! BOWLED'EM! A perfect response from Shaheen Afridi, and he sends the in-form Pathum Nissanka back to the hut. Afridi cleverly rolls his fingers to take pace off, serves this full and on off and middle. Nissanka's eyes light up and he goes for the big slog across the line. However, he does not pick the slower one at all and goes through his shot decades early. He misses and the ball goes through to shatter the stumps behind. Nissanka falls for 11 off 7, and Sri Lanka are 20/1. 20/1

13.1 OUT! TAKEN! Saim Ayub gets the prized scalp of Kamil Mishara here. He tosses it up, full and on off, Mishara skips down the track to go big, but he too does not get to the pitch of it. Still goes through the shot and hits it from the toe-end of the bat. It goes high in the air towards long off, where Babar Azam runs a long way forward and dives in to take a fantastic catch. The crowd absolutely loves it. Mishara departs for a fine 59 off 47, and Lanka are three down now. 98/3

10.3 OUT! TAKEN! Mohammad Nawaz strikes right away. The break in play brings in a wicket once again, and the budding 64-run stand is now broken. This is floated, full and around off, Kusal Mendis skips down the track to loft it down the ground. However, he does not quite get to the pitch of the ball and fails to get the elevation. It flies much flatter and towards long off, where Babar Azam judges it nicely and takes it above his head just ahead of the ropes. Mendis walks back for a scratchy 14 off 18, and Sri Lanka are 84/2. 84/2

The ball goes in the air towards long off, where Babar Azam comes forward and takes it easily. His third catch of the match. Pavan goes back for a struggling 8 off 11, and Sri Lanka lose half their side now. 104/5

18.2 OUT! TIMBER! Shaheen Afridi says, 'I will do it myself. ' Afridi and Fakhar Zaman turn around and appeal while looking in the direction of where the third umpire is seated. Pace off by Shaheen, full and on middle and leg. Dasun Shanaka backs away and exposes all three stumps. He swings to go down the ground but plays down the wrong line.

15.3 OUT! DRAGGED ON! Another one bites the dust. This is dropped short, outside off. Not that wide for the cut but Janith Liyanage makes room to force it through the off side. The ball skids through and stays low to catch the inside edge. It crashes back into the stumps. A two-ball duck for Liyanage. From being 84/1, Sri Lanka are now 105/6. 105/6

Mirza steams in from around the wicket, full and at the sticks. Dushmantha Chameera has an ungainly swipe across the line but is beaten past the inside edge.

7.3 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Eshan Malinga strikes. He goes full and on off, nips back in sharply. Sahibzada Farhan has a wild heave across the line from the crease but misses it completely as the ball goes through and uproots the off pole out of the ground.

| Saim Ayub | 36 | 33 | 6 | 0 | 109.09 |

11.3 OUT! LBW! A bit unlucky for Saim Ayub and Wanindu Hasaranga gets a wicket here. This is slower through the air, short and around middle, turns in and does not bounce at all. Saim Ayub goes down to swipe it away but plays all over it due to the lack of bounce and gets hit on the pads right in front of the stumps. A big shout for LBW, and the finger goes up. Ayub does not bother reviewing it as it is plumb in front. He walks back for 36 off 33, and Pakistan are 75/2, needing 40 more runs to win. 75/2

15.3 OUT! CAUGHT! An innocuous delivery, but Pavan Rathnayake has his maiden T20I wicket. Another long hop and it is outside off. Agha backs away and slaps it hard but picks out the cover fielder to absolute perfection. Dasun Shanaka reacts quickly and takes a sharp grab around his waist. Fakhar Zaman walks out to bat. 98/3

17.1 OUT! TAKEN! Pavan Rathnayake gets his second T20I wicket as well. He tosses it up, full and around off, turns it away. Fakhar Zaman goes down for the slog sweep but only manages to get a top edge. The ball goes in the air, and Dasun Shanaka at short cover settles under it to take a nice catch. Fakhar still hasn't hit a six against Sri Lanka in T20Is, and maybe that was playing in his mind with the game all but wrapped up. 104/4
