Inn Break
Babar Azam is now presented with the trophy and now he celebrates along with his team! It has been a comprehensive win for Pakistan. That is it from this series. We hope you enjoyed our company. Until next time, goodbye and take care!
Babar Azam says he is very pleased to have won the series and the team was eager to do so. Adds the team was brilliant, everybody put on a show and he is very pleased. Credits the way Saud Shakeel, Agha Salman and Abdullah Shafique played. Ends by saying they are looking forward for the games coming their way.
Dimuth Karunaratne says they were poor with the bat and they gave away the wickets and it was difficult to come back into the game after that. Adds batters are getting starts but not converting it and it is opposite with the Pakistan batters. Mentions Pakistan won the crucial moments in the game and their batting was key. Admits they played far too many shots and they should have played a lot better.
Agha Salman, MAN OF THE MATCH, starts by saying, they were in trouble in the first innings of the first Test and they need a stand and it came between him and Saud Shakeel! States he does not mind where he bats, he just wants to play for Pakistan. Adds he is happy with his strike rate and he likes playing that way.
Abdullah Shafique, MAN OF THE MATCH, says it is a confidence booster as they have struggled in this version lately. Adds he is happy about his contribution. States he likes playing here and the team's win is the most important thing.
... TIME FOR PRESENTATION ...
They declared with a lead massive lead and yet again ensured Lanka do not cross the 200-run mark. The application from the Lankan batters was poor yet again. It was a combination of some poor shots and some good bowling but overall, Sri Lanka will be very disappointed with their performance in this series.
Right from Day 1, it was about Pakistan! They were asked to field first but they bundled Lanka out for a very low score. Abrar Ahmed and Naseem Shah were key sharing 7 wickets between them. In reply, Pakistan batted, batted and batted, they batted the hosts out of the game by scoring over 500. One centurion and one double centurion. There were contributions from others too but Abdullah Shafique, who scored a double ton and Agha Salman who got a ton were thhe highlights.
Yet another convincing performance from the visitors and they have recorded one of their biggest victories in Test cricket! Also, with this one, they have won the series 2-0. Nauman Ali and Naseem Shah were the stars for them on Day 5. Post this session, it was Nauman Ali who was brilliant and ended with a seven-fer whereas, after the break, it was Naseem Shah who ran through the tail. Outstanding.

... DAY 4, SESSION 3 ...
An outstanding session for Pakistan and they are just the 4 wickets away from winning this! Nauman Ali was the star for them! He has all the six wickets so far. Some were good deliveries but most of them were gifted to him. The Lankan batters were trying to play their shots and in that process gifted their wickets. Lanka are a long, long way behind and they need a miracle even if they are to avoid an innings defeat. Pakistan on the other hand, will want to end this quickly after the break. Stay tuned.

Nauman Ali To Dhananjaya de Silva OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Dhananjaya de Silva gives it away! The pressure was building, there were hardly any runs being scored and Dhananjaya de Silva looks to cut loose. He steps out, does not get to the pitch of it and looks to go over mid off. This one goes off the inner half and it is straight to long on where Abrar Ahmed makes no mistake. Pakistan now 5 wickets away.

...DAY 4, SESSION 2...
A really good first session for the hosts. Dimuth Karunaratne and Nishan Madushka laid a good foundation. The latter was a bit nervy as he was beaten quite a few times but gave his skipper a good hand to put a half century stand. However, Nishan Madushka was dismissed on the very first ball of Ali. The seamers got some swing but Sri Lanka negotiated well but it feels like the spinners will control the second session more as they are getting a good purchase. Nauman Ali will be key for Pakistan from here on. Stay tuned.
