    17.5 Hasaranga gets his man - stumped! He bowls a length ball that stays a shade low but, crucially, is pitched up outside off. Fakhar tries to create momentum and charges down the track but is nowhere near the ball. Easy work for Mendis. That's some very smart bowling. 68/2
    4.1 Third time's the the charm for Asitha, as he does in Ayub with a searing yorker! It was another massive appeal for leg before, and again it was turned down. This looked the closest of the lot though, and Asalanka was compelled to take the review. The only real question here is, was there some bat? If not it looked pretty dang close. This was full and straight, and looked to have struck Ayub flush on the bottom of his front boot. And indeed there's no bat, three reds and Ayub has to go! 14/1
    23.2 through the gate! Hasaranga gets a third wicket, and it's Babar Azam. Googly does the trick for the third time this afternoon and Babar perishes because he left a big gap in his attempted drive. Full ball just outside off. Babar takes a giant stride to meet the ball but the ball turns in, past the inside-half of the bat, and the off-stump pole lights up. 95/4
    19.4 Two in two overs for Hasaranga! Another great comeback from the wily spinner. Length ball originates outside off but drifts into off stump. Rizwan goes very deep in his crease and ends up caught in two minds. The attempted flick comes down late and by then the ball has zipped onto his pads. Easy decision for the umpire. Rizwan doesn't bother reviewing. 76/3

    43.3 umpire raises his finger but Talat will review! Full ball darted in around off and middle, but when delivered from around the wicket it has a tendency to slide down leg. He misses the slog over the leg side. What does the replay say? Crashing into middle and leg. Partnership broken and Talat must walk back after his highest ODI score 233/5

    13.2 Haris has his third and it's the prize scalp of Nissanka! Absolute beauty from Rauf, pitches on off and seams away just enough to get Nissanka's outside edge. Squared up the Lankan opener just enough. Rauf is turning this game single-handedly! 90/3
    11.4 And finally Pakistan get the breakthrough! Back of a length outside off, and Mishara looks to flat bat this over mid-off. It rushes him though and he can only chip this gently to the man at mid-off 85/1
    11.5 Two in two for Rauf! And just like that the complexion of this game has changed. Back of a length and nipping back around off. Kusal has a tentative push at this and only manages to chop on to the base of his stumps. Well, well 85/2
    26.4 a stunning one-hander from first slip, Babar Azam! It's a length ball outside off. Samarawickrama presses forward to meet it on the up. But the push takes a thick outside edge and Babar at a wide-ish first slip throws himself to his right. The ball sticks, and Pakistan are on the moon! 147/4
    31.5 Asalanka what have you done? The Lankan skipper has thrown away his wicket! Skips down the track and throws the kitchen sink at it. Credit to Nawaz as well, who saw what Asalanka was up to and pushed it through quicker. Rizwan makes no mistake with the stumping as Sri Lanka lose their fifth 183/5
    32.6 Well, well, well! How big is this wicket gonna be?! Janith Liyanage has is stumps heavily disturbed by a beauty from Naseem Shah. Length ball, nips back and in and rifles past the back foot punch to clatter into top of off. No foot movement from Liyanage as well, and now Sri Lanka are suddenly in some very real bother 191/6
    37.2 Faheem gets Kamindu, and now Pakistan are well and truly on top! Back of a length, angling across off stump. But this keeps a low, and it means Kamindu can only chop on his attempted pull. Pakistan are now into the tail! 210/7
    48.4 poor ball but Hasaranga perishes anyway! Is that the game? High full toss but below the waist. Hasaranga tries to lift it over Naseem but ends up hitting it more towards long on. Babar at long-on stays on the boundary line, puts his hands over his head, and ensures the catch is completed. 279/9
    44.2 sliced high up and Faheem does the rest! Back of a length ball, outside off, Chameera goes for a glory shot, and all he does is give Faheem catching practice. Didn't have the skills to control his flat-batted shot. Hasaranga loses another partner 247/8
