5.10pm So, Pakistan need 174 to go 4-0 up. It was the same old story for Sri Lanka with their batsmen struggling to rotate the strike. Thirimanne, though, fared better, making 62 off 94 balls. That was the only noteworthy contribution for Tharanga's men. The last three wickets did add 74, but it appears merely to have saved Sri Lanka some extra embarrassment rather than having any impact on the scoreline. Hasan led Pakistan's attack, again, with 3 for 37. We will be back in 40 minutes for the chase.

shads: "Ah, the lows and lows of Sri lankan ODI cricket continue! Gave us some hope with that partnership between chandi and Thiri, but all was lost with that silly run out. Tough decisions need to be made with selections. Should Mendis have been left out? Should Seeukuge even be in our squad? Questions for the selectors to answer"

Tanny: "Tauseef's wish fulfilled. And how! "

Sami Qahar: "7 3-fers for Hassan in 8 games. What is he on? I want the same thing at my work."

wojciech: "oh dear.. missing that old, fantastic SL team with Sanga, Dilshan, Mahela, Malinga, Ajantha Mendis, Kulasekara. its painful to watch what is happen to that team"

Sarmad: "he cant sleep well without taking atleast 3 wickets Hasan Ali you beauty! "

Hasan Ali to Gamage, OUT, Hasan, the new world no. 1, wraps up SL for 173 with another three-wicket haul. This is the slower offcutter, Gamage does not spot the change-up. He has a big heave at it, he does so early, and has his stumps rattled

Tdos: "Probably the weakest SL side ever to play an ODI series. How did they ever expect to win any of the matches with poor cricketers like Siriwardene, Kapugedara? And test players like Chandimal? Unfortunate stuff for Sri Lanka, almost all of their best batsmen are injured; Gunaratne, Mathews, KJP... If they were available this might have been a completely different series. Looking forward to a powerful comeback by SL soon."
