- BATSMENRB4s6sSR7.6 and is that the wicket? Sri Lanka think so, the umpires confer. Think he's gone. Flat outside off, the ball sliding on with the arm. Zaman sees some width, and tries to cut, but is beaten for pace again. The ball misses the outside edge but doesn't miss the outside of off stump. That's Sri Lanka's first wicket. A big "not out" flashes on the big screen, but that was clearly a mistake. Zaman walks off eventually. 57/112.1 good catch from Thisara. Full and straight from Udana, Amin looks to hit the ball straight, but Udana's natural angle brings the ball in to the left-hander, and it may have been an offcutter too. The ball skews off the inside half of the bat, and lobs towards long-on, where Thisara runs to his left, and takes a good catch. Made a tough catch look easy, no diving, no need 91/219.4 another full toss. This time Malik doesn't get much behind the shot. Heaves it away straight to deep midwicket, who takes a juggled catch. 166/3Extras6 (lb 2, nb 2, w 2)TOTAL180/3 (20 Overs, RR: 9)Fall of wickets: 1-57 (Fakhar Zaman, 7.6 ov), 2-91 (Umar Amin, 12.1 ov), 3-166 (Shoaib Malik, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.4 and three down are Sri Lanka! Falling away rapidly. Flat around off, Gunathilaka backs away, looks to hit the ball hard, too hard and the ball goes straight back to Hafeez. It's quick, Hafeez ducks, sticks up his hands and takes a sharp overhead catch. Same ol' tale. 21/31.2 cleaned up! The ball swings back in, and Munaweera does not account for that. Full outside off, the ball swings back, and Munaweera plays an awful shot, trying to cut, cut inswing?! The ball finds a massive gap and hits off stump. Terrible shot selection 10/12.5 swept to deep square leg, straight to the man. This is my home, I know what I'm doing insinuates Imad to Samarawickrama. Flat and straight, on middle and leg. Samarawickrama shuffles right across and sweeps, but the ball goes straight to the man on the boundary 15/28.4 a soft dismissal. Short on middle from Faheem, hurries Udawatte into his pull. He picks the length well but is far too late on his pull, the ball lobs off the splice and settles in midwicket's hands. Faheem has generated some impressive pace 57/413.2 is that the match? It's a pressure catch, Imad circles around the catch, and eventually takes it. Full around off, Shanaka swings himself off his feet. Because he wanted to hit the ball too hard, the ball hits the outside half and just lobs to midwicket. Very high in the air, good catch 96/515.4 that should be it for this series. Full and straight, Chaturanga backs away and can't connect with a drive, the ball hits the stumps, the pace took the delivery under his shot. Too good from Amir. 106/616.6 the back-of-the-hand slower ball outside off, Thisara launches one high in the air, but the ball has not been timed. Much more elevation than distance. Shadab, at long-on, settles easily underneath and takes an easy one. With that, Pakistan should have no further trouble 114/719.3 full delivery outside off, Prasanna's big swing results in a thick edge for Sarfraz, swung himself off his feet. Malik shakes Prasanna's hands. Amir is happy. 143/919.2 Hafeez struggles but takes the catch eventually. A slower ball down leg, Pathirana is through his shot too early, the ball is chipped in the air towards midwicket. Hafeez watches the ball, backtracks slightly, juggles, wiggles but takes it 142/8Extras3 (lb 1, w 2)TOTAL144/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.2)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Dilshan Munaweera, 1.2 ov), 2-15 (Sadeera Samarawickrama, 2.5 ov), 3-21 (Danushka Gunathilaka, 3.4 ov), 4-57 (Mahela Udawatte, 8.4 ov), 5-96 (Dasun Shanaka, 13.2 ov), 6-106 (Chaturanga de Silva, 15.4 ov), 7-114 (Thisara Perera, 16.6 ov), 8-142 (Sachith Pathirana, 19.2 ov), 9-143 (Seekkuge Prasanna, 19.3 ov)
