PAK vs SL Live Cricket Score

21.4 OUT! TAKEN! That is a good catch and the move to get Matheesha Pathirana on works. The well-set Abdullah Shafique walks back and just as another good stand was building, Sri Lanka strikes. A good short one, takes Abdullah Shafique by surprise. He still goes for the pull but fails to get on top of the bounce, It goes off the top edge and it is taken by the Pramod Madushan at deep square leg. 100/3

4.2 OUT! TIMBER! Pramod Madushan strikes! Gets the dangerous Fakhar Zaman and this wicket is well deserved. Sri Lanka have been brilliant with the ball so far. A lovely nut. A yorker, it swings in from outside off. Fakhar Zaman looks to drive but this goes under the bat and hits the stumps. He was actually dropped for this game due to his form but came back into the side due to an injury to Imam. Does not contribute a lot. The crowd here loves it. 9/1

16 OUT! STUMPED! That's a jaffa and some swift glovework by Kusal Mendis has done the job! Dunith Wellalage continues to build his reputation as a legend killer. He hunted down some superstars from India in the last game and now he has removed the number one ODI batter in Babar Azam. This is some smart thinking from the young man. A couple of deliveries drift down the leg side and this time, Dunith flights a full ball around off and gets it to spin away from the batter. Babar Azam leans forward to block it but gets beaten. Kusal Mendis grabs the ball and whips off the bails in a flash. The umpire goes upstairs to have a check. No outside edge is found. The replay shows that Babar Azam's back leg was in the air when the bails were off and he has to depart. The partnership is finally broken and Dunith Wellalage is getting mobbed by his teammates. 73/2

24 OUT! TAKEN! Another one bites the dust! Lanka storming back into the game now! Mohammad Haris' stay is a short one. Fuller and on middle, a slower one. He plays a check drive back towards the bowler who takes it. He tried playing way too many shots and now falls. 108/4

27.4 OUT! TIMBER! With the rain coming down, that is a timely wicket. A beauty from Maheesh Theekshana! This lands on middle, it pitches and then spins away. Mohammad Nawaz looks to defend but is beaten and it hits the off pole. He plays down the wrong line. 130/5

40.3 OUT! TAKEN! Iftikhar Ahmed falls three short of a half-ton! A top knock though from him, he has probably done his job. A slower one outside off, Iftikhar Ahmed looks to go over mid off. He is through the shot early. It goes off the toe-end and it is taken by Dasun Shanaka! 238/6

41.2 OUT! TAKEN! That is a serious grab! Wow! Kusal Mendis, you beauty! Sri Lanka coming back well in the end overs. Full and outside off, Shadab Khan looks to go over covers, this flies off the outside edge. Kusal Mendis dives to his right and takes it with one hand. 243/7

13.2 OUT! TAKEN! That is a serious catch! Shadab Khan is a fine fielder and he has taken a sharp catch. He gets the breakthrough his side needed. These two were looking at the utmost ease. Pathum Nissanka steps out, he gets to the pitch of it. He however, gets a little too close to the pitch of the ball but hits it hard and back to the bowler. Shadab reacts well and takes it. 175 needed in 172. Sadeera Samarawickrama walks in at number 4. 77/2

3.2 OUT! RUN OUT! On a length and on off, Kusal Perera taps it to short covers. He hesitated at the start but ran for a single anyway. A huge mix-up as Shadab Khan collects the ball and makes a direct hit at the bowler's end. The umpire checks and the replay shows that Kusal Perera was way off his crease despite his dive. A massive moment in the game! Kusal Mendis is the new batter. 20/1

35.1 OUT! TAKEN! That is a wonderful catch and the big wicket of Kusal Mendis is taken. Is it too late? Has his knock won his side the game? We will know but for now, Pakistan will believe. 42 needed in 41. On middle, Kusal Mendis looks to flick but this one holds in the surface. He closes the face of the bat early, it goes off the leading edge. Mohammad Haris at covers, runs forward, dives and takes it inches above the ground. They go upstairs to check but replays show that it is clean. Mendis deserved a ton but he has batted brilliantly. 210/4

29.4 OUT! STUMPED! That is the wicket Pakistan needed and the partnership is finally broken! Full, on off, it turns away, Sadeera Samarawickrama moves forward to play at it but gets beaten. Mohammad Rizwan behind the sticks pouches the ball and does the rest. Sadeera Samarawickrama makes his way after a fine knock. 177/3

37.4 OUT! TAKEN! Is there a twist in the tale? Fuller one, pace off. Dasun Shanaka looks to slog it, it goes off the inside half of the bat towards deep mid-wicket. Mohammad Nawaz runs forward and takes an excellent diving catch forward. Game on for Pakistan now! Dhananjaya de Silva is the new batter in. 222/5

40.4 OUT! TAKEN! A full toss, on off, Dhananjaya de Silva lofts it towards long on but doesn't get the elevation on it. Mohammad Wasim runs to his right and takes a great catch near the ropes. The umpire checks for a possible no ball. All fine as the ball was below the waist and Dhananjaya de Silva has to depart! 243/6

40.5 OUT! TAKEN! Two in two for Shaheen Afridi! On a hard length and outside off, it shapes away a shade, Dunith Wellalage looks to loft it but misses it completely. Gets a thick outside edge and Mohammad Rizwan behind the sticks completes the catch. What a game we are witnessing out here! 243/7

41.4 OUT! RUN OUT! Fuller one, on off, Pramod Madushan looks to loft it but misses. Charith Asalanka runs anyway to get on strike. Mohammad Rizwan throws it to Zaman Khan who makes a direct hit and Pramod Madushan was way off his crease. He has to depart! 246/8
