2.2 And now he gets his man! 100 up for Afridi! This one was back of a length, and again seaming away. Madushka doesn't make much by way of foot movement and just wafts at this outside off. Gets a thick edge through to Sarfraz. 6/1

14.2 he's been strangled down leg, and Shaheen's picked up the massive wicket of Dimuth. It had been dragged down legside, and Dimuth was caught in two minds, initially looking to flick it to fine leg before trying to leave it. Ended up gloving to Sarfaraz, and walking before the umpire even raised his finger 53/3

6.4 And now the edge does find the slip fielder! Afridi squares Mendis right up here. Back of a length on middle and leg. Mendis stays back and looks to defend, but this seams away sharply to take the outside edge, through to second slip who pouches a good low take. The bounce also does Mendis in here, with it holding up a touch in the surface 22/2

48.1 one stray shot and Mathews pays the price! He wanted to push it through the covers but plays down the wrong line, and gets a slight feather on it. Sarfaraz takes the catch, and Mathews is disgusted with himself! 185/5

15.2 Naseem draws the edge, and a stunning catch from a leaping Babar Azam gets him his first wicket, Sensational delivery, very sharp catch. Chandimal was tempted into driving on the up, and couldn't neutralise the sideways movement. The session turning into a bit oif a shocker for the hosts 54/4

87.1 tries to play an expansive drive over the top, but it flies to Shan Masood at deep point, who takes an excellent running catch frm third man. The first shot in anger he played, really, and it leads to his downfall. It was a pitched-up delivery he was looking to hit in front of square on the offside but the bat turned in his hand. 283/9

65.4 he's got him, what a stunning catch to finish off the day. Imam leaps to his right and plucks one out of thin air. There was a bit of extra turn and bounce; it hit him high on the bat, and Imam was alert in the dying stages. Pakistan strike off what ends up being the last ball of another session 242/6

76.6 But now Abrar gets his man! The pressure has told eventually. This was tossed up outside off, and Mendis takes a wild swing at this. It's the leg break that takes the outside edge, and Babar at slip takes a comfortable catch. 257/7

85.6 and this time, he pokes at a short one and gets a tickle through to Sarfaraz It wasn't a bouncer but it just continued to rise and suddenly grew too big on Jayasuriya, who couldn't quite get on top of it, the tame waft catching the edge of his bat 282/8

95.2 And now it's lunch and the end of the Lankan innings! This was tossed up and Rajitha just whips this full delivery straight into his front pad, and the ball pops up to short leg for a simple take. 312/10

10.2 that didn't take long, did it? Prabath Jayasuriya doing his thing. Draws Shafique into a front foot defensive shot, and a little bit of extra turn draws the edge. First slip takes a comfortable catch, and Pakistan lose their second 47/2

1.6 half-volley driven straight into backward point's lap. That was a poor ball, there to be put away, but Imam's driven that right to the fielder stationed there. Soft dismissal, and Imam's incandescent with himself. Good start for Sri Lanka 3/1

11.6 pushes him onto the back foot and hits him on the pad. A huge appeal the umpire turns down, and Sri Lanka decide to have another look And would you believe it, it's three reds! It looked like it might just clip leg stump and save him on umpire's call, but no such luck. Shan is bemused, but he has to go. Sri Lanka get a big wicket 67/3

14.4 Babar is gone! Goes forward to this length ball, it drifts in and goes on with the arm. Grazes the inside edge on the forward defence before popping up off the pad to short leg. Big wicket. 73/4

20.2 One sweep too many and Sarfaraz must depart! Pakistan review but this looks pretty adjacent, as the ball pitched on middle and straightened, floating under the bat on the sweep. Yep, three reds and Pakistan lose a review to boot. 101/5

55.6 And he's given it away! Agha comes down the track and swings at this looking to take it over long-on, but doesn't get to the pitch and this turns between bat and pad. Sadeera completes the easiest stumping he's likely to make. 278/6

73.2 Noman must go! His luck runs out. Goes back again for a good length ball, but this goes on with the arm traps him in front of middle and off. Strikes him on the back pad, and Pakistan don't even bother reviewing. That was plumb. 330/7

76.3 And Shaheen must depart! Vishwa finally gets the one that's full and straight on the money. Shaheen is slow to get his bat down and this strikes him in front of middle and off on the back pad. Looks pretty plumb, but Pakistan review. And yes, it's three reds, Sri Lanka get another. 346/8

116.5 cleans him up, finally!. Missed a full-ish one that ripped sharply and knocked back his off stump, which means Abrar has one ball to survive if Shakeel is to get to 200 440/9

121.2 tried to club it over fine leg and connected really well, only for Angelo Mathews to take a brilliant catch in the deep. He had moved across to help it over the top behind square and looked for all the world like he was going to clear the man. But Mathews is an excellent fielder, and took a good catch on the edge of the boundary while keeping his feet the right side of the line 461/10

36.6 takes the edge, and Madushka's gone! Is that Sri Lanka's hopes going up in smoke? Threw his hands at a ball without the feet going anywhere. Tried to lazily clip it through cover but gets a tickle on it and has to depart 99/4

11.1 oh dear, Shamith, you won't be pleased! Dimuth has clipped one to midwicket, who takes a sharp catch to send him on his way. It was a loose shot, and Agha put in a dive to pluck this inches off the ground. Huge breakthrough for Pakistan 42/1

24.6 Caught in the crease and gone! Mendis reviews but it looks stone dead! Hit's him high on the back pad in front of middle and off, but Mendis is not all that tall and he's deep in his crease. Yup, it shows three reds. 79/2

32.1 And that's what happens when you only look to defend! Outrageous take by Babar at first slip gets rid of Mathews! This was a good length ball, that turns a little more than it has most of the morning, Mathews comes forward to defend and this takes a thin edge past the keeper. But Babar flings his left hand out and grabs on to and outstanding take! 91/3

53.1 And Agha breaks through! This is tossed up and Chandimal whips it hard and low, but short midwicket is equal to it, grabbing a sharp low take diving forward. Chandimal stands his ground as they go upstairs to check this. Fingers are just about underneath the ball. 159/5

80.6 and as soon as that happens, Shaheen snares de Silva with a beauty de Silva looked to guide the length delivery to third man and keep the strike, but just that extra bit of seam movement sees him kiss the edge of the bat. Sarfaraz has an easy catch, and Pakistan celebrate full in the knowledge of what they've just done 269/8

55.5 And just like that he's gone! And what an incredible catch by Abdullah Shafique at short leg! It's bowled Agha, and this is even better than the one in the first innings. Sadeera skips down the track and whips this fine, and it takes a light defection of his pad. Shafique moves to his left following the batter, before dramatically shifting his weight to the right and grabbing this with his right hand. Unreal 175/6

78.1 Mendis is given out leg before! This was fired in full by Abrar. Mendis goes for the sweep and misses. It looks to have pitched on leg and straightened. Sri Lanka have reviewed but this looks tight. Yes it's crashing into middle and off, three reds and gone. 251/7

82.3 too easy for Shaheen. Slower ball fools the batter completely, who spoons it to Shan Masood at extra cover. 274/9

83.1 spooned straight up to point, and that's the end of the Sri Lankan innings! Caught the bottom part of the bat and just ballooned up for Shan. Pakistan need 131 to win their first Test match since, well, they won their last Test match at this very venue a year to the day ago. Madushka will take you through what remains of the day as I jump off to work on the report 279/10

6.4 Huge appeal for caught behind and it's given! Abdullah is unsure as to whether he nicked this and goes upstairs. This pitches on a good length and turns away sharply from the right-hander, who goes back to defend. The appeal itself was hilarious, with Sadeera struggling to keep hold of the ball which had wedged itself between his legs. Sadeera was wheeling away holding the back of his thighs, while keeping his thighs together, but eventually got control of the ball. And then the umpire's finger went up. And Ultra Edge shows there was a faint nick. 16/1

10.4 And now Shan is gone! Taken well by the man at short leg. Shan comes down the track, but Jayasuriya spots it and bowls this straighter. Shan looks to defend but can only pop a bat-pad catch up to short leg, who leaps up and takes it over head. 36/2

12.6 tossed up on the stumps, worked to square leg, but they've run a suicidal second run here! Noman is well short at the non-striker's end! Well...there was absolutely no need for that. Especially as it was the end of the over, and Imam would have had the strike. 38/3

20.3 And now Babar must go! This was full outside off, and on with the arm. Beats the inside edge on the forward defence and strikes the front pad in front of off. Babar reviews after a small discussion with his partner. And yes, it's three reds. 79/4

29.4 and he's gone! Saud Shakeel will not average over 100 between Tests. Wanted to defend but Mendis got it to turn sharply away from the outside edge, kissing it along the way. 122/5

32.4 gets a top edge to square leg, holing out to the man stationed there! It was an uncertain, jittery innings from the Pakistan keeper, and it comes to an end now Fantastic catch in the deep, plucking it low off the ground to give Jayasuriya his fourth wicket 127/6
