Live Score - Sri Lanka vs Pakistan
42 overs left, 90 runs needed. The chase will not be easy. The pitch is turning and bouncing. Should be fun.
Poor batting display by the Lankans overall. Just four batsmen managed double figures. Karunaratne and Thrimanne showed some promise but needed to bat long. Unfortunately Chandimal could not get any support, else a target of around 125 could have been handful.
Sri Lanka have lost 6/62 in 24 overs after lunch. Yasir Shah bowled his career best figures of 7/76 and dismantled Sri Lanka completely. Terrible batting display from the Sri Lankans. All Pakistan need is 90 runs to win the Test match. Early tea has been taken and we will be back in a while for the chase.
OUT! Lofted ball on middle and off, Chandimal comes down the track and tries to loft it over the cover region but misses the ball completely as it spins massively off the outer edge to the keeper who takes the bails off in no time. 7th wicket for Yasir Shah. What a turn around for Pakistan.
Brilliant delivery to end the over, a bit of spin on that one, misses the outside edge yet again. Pradeep living dangerously there.
Short of length around off, Pradeep misses the ball completely and goes to the keeper past the outside edge.
Outside off, Pradeep looks to defend but gets an outside edge which goes past Azhar Ali at silly point.
Lofted ball around off, Pradeep defends it just short of the silly point. Prasad living dangerously there.
Flighted ball on middle and leg, defends on the front foot.
Full around off, edges it straight to point.
