6.44 pm: A good finish in the final over has carried Pakistan over the 300-barrier. 305 should be enough, given the inexperience in the Sri Lanka batting line-up, but this pitch has no demons in it. The star of the innings was of course, Babar Azam, all fluent strokes and geometric arcs, on the way to his 11th ODI century. Fakhar Zaman was busy during his half-century and Haris Sohail gave Babar good support. Sri Lanka's bowlers have not done too badly, though a little more discipline in their bowling would have helped. Join us shortly for the chase.

Pradeep to Iftikhar Ahmed, 2 runs, OUT, yorker to finish, but he goes deep in his crease and flicks to deep midwicket. It's only a two, but they try for the third and the throw is accurate so Wahab is run out at the non-striker's end
Wahab Riaz run out 2 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 100.00

Pradeep to Iftikhar Ahmed, SIX, picked up the slower ball and he deposits it over long-on. Too full and he's got the room to swing his arms freely, having cleared his front leg. Makes good, meaty connection

Pradeep to Wahab Riaz, 1 leg bye, magnificent bowling, pin-point yorker that hits boot and stays near the crease. They get a single with the fielders on the edge of the circle
