2.4 OUT! RUN OUT! On a length and on off, with some movement, Dimuth Karunaratne eases it to mid off and calls for a quick single.

The replay shows that Nishan Madushka is well off his crease and Pakistan have an early breakthrough in the game.  9/1

14.1 OUT! CHOPPED ON! Naseem Shah picks up his second wicket in no time. A brilliant piece of delivery this time to get rid of the Sri Lankan skipper. It is a full-length ball, angling across the left-hander. Dimuth Karunaratne tries to go for the booming drive, but all he manages to find it a thick inside edge. This forces the ball to crash into the stumps and puts the hosts in a spot of bother.  36/4

12.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Another bites the dust for Sri Lanka. Not the start the hosts were really after. A peach of a delivery this one! Naseem Shah drifts in a length ball, on fourth stump and gets it to jag away a touch. Angelo Mathews looks to defend it out and hangs his bat away from his body, only to get the faintest of edges. Sarfaraz Ahmed makes no mistake behind the sticks.  35/3

33.5 OUT! TAKEN! Short ball does the trick for Naseem Shah! Short and on off, Dinesh Chandimal looks to pull it but doesn't get the power right. The ball carries towards Imam-ul-Haq at mid-wicket. He settles under it and completes the catch. Half of the Lankan side is back in the hut now.  121/5

Mendis punches it into covers, and slips at the same time. Meanwhile, Prabath Jayasuriya ventures out looking for a single but is sent back.

46.2 OUT! TIMBER! What a delivery. Abrar Ahmed with a peach this time to get rid of Asitha Fernando. It is tossed up, outside off. Asitha Fernando does not read it at all and leaves it alone. Although, the ball grips and turns in sharply to hit the top of off. A dream wicket for any bowler, this. Pakistan continue to dominate the innings.  163/9

113.2 OUT! TAKEN! End of the marathon innings from Shafique! This is full an outside off, it turns away. Shafique skips down to go big but toe ends it high and to long off where Dilshan Madushanka holds onto it. A much needed wicket for the Lankans.  468/5

2.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Asitha Fernando draws the first blood. The much-needed one for the hosts. It is a length ball, on the pads. Imam-ul-Haq tries to flick it away but gets an inside edge on his pads. The ball balloons towards the slip cordon. Nishan Madushka there takes a sharp catch. Shan Masood is the new batter in.  13/1

Babar Azam defends outside the line and misses. It hits the pad. An appeal and up goes the finger. Azam walks back after getting off to a start. Can this open the floodgates?  210/3

80.3 OUT! LBW! Asitha Fernando gets his revenge! That is a lovely nut! The change in angle does the trick and so does the second new ball. This strats outside off, slightly fuller again, it comes back in late. Saud Shakeel fails to get his front foot out of the way and misses the drive to get hit on the front pad. A loud shout and the finger is raised.  319/4

It deflects onto the pads and lobs to short leg. Dinesh Chandimal wasn't sure so he reviews. If not for edge, he would have been out LBW as it was very close. However, the UltraEdge shows a spike as it flicks the gloves.  109/4

46.2 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.  131/5

50.1 OUT! TAKEN! That is a simple catch! Shorter and outside off, this one lands and takes off. Sadeera Samarawickrama looks to cut but the extra bounce means it goes off the top edge and it is taken by the point fielder. Nauman Ali has 6.  141/6

64.3 OUT! STUMPED! 7th for Nauman Ali! That is not a shot you play when you are trying to save a Test match! Lovely bowling though. Nice and slow, floats it above the eye line and outside off. Ramesh Mendis steps out and swings without getting to the pitch of the ball. He is beaten. The keeper whips the bails off.  177/7

65.5 OUT! TIMBER! Finallt, someone other than Nauman Ali takes a wicket. A well-deserved one for Naseem Shah, he has been brilliant. Lanka now two wickets away. This starts outside off and swings back in. Prabath Jayasuriya leaves it alone as he does not expect the movement. It hits the off pole.  184/8

67.1 OUT! TIMBER! Too good for a tail-ender! Number 9 down! This starts outside off and comes back in. Asitha Fernando is beaten for pace as he looks to get his bat down but the ball sneaks through and hits the off pole.  188/9

67.4 OUT! TIMBER! Cleans him up! PAKISTAN BEAT LANKA BY AN INNINGS AND 222 RUNS! Yet again a top delivery! A yorker on off, an inswinging yorker. Dilshan Madushanka fails to jam it out and it hits the stumps.  188/10
