Sri Lanka lose their second wicket and the review too!  79/2

32.1 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! What a catch from Babar Azam! That is stunning and this is a huge wicket for Pakistan. Nauman Ali deserves this one as well for his effort. He floats this one up, full and just around off, grips and turns away a bit, Angelo Mathews prods forward to block, but only manages to get a thin outside edge towards first slip where Babar Azam shows sharp reflexes to dive to his left to take a left-handed stunner. Sri Lanka three down now!  91/3

53.1 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Another stunner earns the visitors a wicket here. Just when the gear was shifting for the hosts, Pakistan strikes again. Tossed up delivery closer to the stance of the batter, Dinesh Chandimal misreads it and looks to flick it towards the on side but ends up lifting it uppishly to the left of Imam-ul-Haq at short mid-wicket. Imam-ul-Haq dives to low to his left and takes a beauty to miss Dinesh Chandimal. The fielding and catching of the visitors have been on point in this game so far and it is proving to be very fruitful for them.  159/5

81 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Shaheen Afridi strikes now! He gets the huge wicket of Dhananjaya de Silva and this looks like the last nail in the coffin for Sri Lanka. Shaheen Afridi lands this on a good length from 'over the wicket, on off, angling away, Dhananjaya de Silva stays there and tries to push at it away from his body without any footwork, and only manages to nick it behind where Sarfaraz Ahmed makes no mistaken. Another hard-fought knock from DDS, but he has to go back as Afridi has the last laught.  269/8

55.5 OUT! TAKE A BOW, Abdullah Shafique TAKES A BLINDER TO REMOVE Sadeera Samarawickrama. Tossed up delivery around the middle, Sadeera Samarawickrama advances down the ground and looks to flick this to the on side but Abdullah Shafique anticipated well and shuffles to his right taking a one-hander low stunner standing at short fine leg. Abdullah Shafique betters the effort from Imam-ul-Haq from the first innings and by some margin. Pakistan have been nothing but sensational in the field throughout the game.  175/6

78.1 OUT! LBW! Abrar Ahmed finally gets the breakthrough for Pakistan! The huge partnership breaks now. This is nicely tossed up, full and on middle, turns away a shy bit, Ramesh Mendis pre-meditates the sweep and goes for it, but this it too full and he plays over it and gets hit on the pads. There is an appeal for the LBW, and up goes the finger. Mendis takes the review but UltraEdge confirms no bat involved and Ball Tracking shows three reds. Sri Lanka lose their seventh and the review as well!  251/7

82.3 OUT! TAKEN! Another one bites the dust! Shaheen Afridi gets his man this time! He bangs this short and around off, Prabath Jayasuriya backs away again to clear the in-field but is in two minds and ends up just stabbing at it as the ball spoons towards mid off where Shan Masood takes a dolly. Sri Lanka nine down now!  274/9

83.1 OUT! It's a wrap as Pakistan have bundled out Sri Lanka for 279 in the second innings. Tossed up delivery wide of off, turning away from the batter, Kasun Rajitha looks to cut it but gets a top edge lofting this in the hands of the Shan Masood at point for a simple catch.  279/10

6.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Prabath Jayasuriya draws first blood! Sri Lanka have an early breakthrough! This is flatter, full and on off, turns away sharply, Abdullah Shafique prods forward to defend but only manages to get a very thin edge behind where Sadeera Samarawickrama lets it through his gloves but the ball gets stuck between his thighs. The umpire gives out after some time but Shafique takes the review. However, UltraEdge confirms the edge and Pakistan lose their first wicket and the review as well.  16/1

10.4 OUT! DEFLECTION OF HIS BAT ONTO THE PADS AND GONE! Tossed up around middle, Shan Masood advances down the ground as he looks to block this but gets an edge onto his pads and straight in the hands of Nishan Madushka at short fine leg for his dismissal.  36/2

13 OUT! RUN-OUT! OH DEAR ME, What have they done in the middle. The night watchman has to walk back as he has been run out at the non-striking end looking to take an extra run. Tossed up around middle, Imam-ul-Haq flicks this towards the deep square leg region and runs a single but Imam-ul-Haq calls for the second and Nauman Ali just ran to sacrifice his wicket here. A brain-fade moment dismisses Nauman Ali from the middle. Ramesh Mendis chose the correct end to throw as Nauman Ali was no where near the crease.  38/3

20.3 OUT! LBW! Prabath Jayasuriya strikes! Just what Sri Lanka needed as they are delighted to see the back of Babar Azam. This is nicely tossed up, full and on middle, angles in without any turn, Babar Azam prods forward to block as he expects the turn away, but plays completely down the wrong line to get hit on the pads in front of the stumps. There is a huge appeal for LBW, and up goes the finger. Babar Azam takes the review, but UltraEdge shows no bat involved and Ball Tracking indicates three reds. Pakistan four down now!  79/4

29.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Ramesh Mendis with a peach of a delivery to get rid of Saud Shakeel who was certainly taking on the Sri Lanka bowling attack. Ramesh Mendis serves a full one, around off, that comes in with the arm. The ball though turns away sharply from the bat of Saud Shakeel, only to get nicked. Sadeera Samarawickrama takes a sharp catch.  122/5

32.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Prabath Jayasuriya picks his fourth wicket. He has certainly made the most of the bowling conditions here. It is tossed up, on off. Sarfaraz Ahmed goes for the sweep shot to find the boundary, but only manages to find the fielder in the deep, as he miscues his slog sweep. Kusal Mendis takes a sharp catch diving forward.  127/6
