4.2 overs (1 Run) TOP EDGE, PUT DOWN! Aiyaiyo, Sri Lanka, not what you needed. Bowler not happy, coach not happy and poor fielder, he decides not to see anyone. Kusal Mendis at deep square leg just could not take this skier from a top edge was Zazai looked to pull.

4.1 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! 'TOCK!' That sound. Just tells you that you need not look where the ball has gone. Perfect start to the over for the Afghans. Malinga bowls a fuller one on the stumps and Zazai makes room and then pulls it through mid-wicket for a cracking boundary.

0.6 over (2 Runs) LEADING EDGE NOW! Gosh, this has been such an eventful over. But no wicket for Malinga. This is full and around middle, Shahzad looks to flick but the ball swings away late, takes the leading edge and goes through cover! Two runs taken.

0.5 over (1 Run) Another yorker! Again, Zazai manages to get bat to ball and work it towards square leg for a single.

0.4 over (2 Runs) Oooh.... a Mali special! This is what Malinga is known for. His slinging yorkers. This zooms in, almost gets underneath the bat but it comes down at the right time. The ball is jammed behind square leg and threatens to make it to the ropes but Nuwan Pradeep gives it a good chase from fine leg and stops the boundary. Two runs taken.

0.3 over (1 Run) EDGED, DOES NOT CARRY! Tell you what, we have a run chase on our hands. Malinga lands this on a length again, outside off and gets the ball to swing. Shahzad looks to defend but the ball moves away and takes the outside edge. Luckily for him, because he went with soft hands, the ball does not carry to a diving second slip, who half stops it. A single taken.
