- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.5 lots of flight, beats him in the air and gets an edge, but there's no slip!. But has Nissanka been run out here attempting a third? Looks like it. Uff that is a completely unnecessary wicket against the run of play for Sri Lanka. Nissanka -very arguably Sri Lanka's best at the moment - turned for two and decided to take on the throw from the deep, which came in flat, fast and right next to the stumps. Rizwan just had to get the bails off, and Nissanka is way out of his ground despite a big dive. Wasim Jr. is the fielder with the laser-guided throw Naseem and he had chased this edge through the deep third region, and Naseem had pulled the ball back in and tossed it to Wasim, who rocketed that throw in 51/113.1 biiig swing and a miss. This was tossed up a little bit outside off, and Mishara's eyes light up. He aims a big slog down the ground, but is beaten completely in the flight. He might have dragged his back foot out of the crease while going for that shot too, and Rizwan has broken the stumps. They are looking at the replays now for the stumping - it looks mighty close! Mishara's foot is definitely on the line, but is there anything behind the white line? Some part of his boot needs to be grounded behind the popping crease if he is to survive. This could go either way. Third ump Alex Wharf doesn't think he's got any molecules behind the line, and rules him out. Seems a fair decision to me, and Pakistan have got rid of both openers in quick succession 62/219.2 he's holed out! Soft way to lose your wicket. It was just a shade short, but Mendis thought it was a lot shorter. Cramped for room as he got no purchase on the pull shot, pulling it right into the hands of a grateful Nawaz 90/331.4 bowled! There's the wicket Pakistan wanted from Rauf. This one looked to stay a bit low, and at Rauf's pace that's a very good ball. Rauf comes from wide of the crease and pitches juuust short of a length. Sadeera tries to pull this through midwicket but the length is not there. It passes under his bat and smashes the top of off. Rauf is pumped. 159/521.2 just a gorgeous delivery. It went the other way after landing on middle and off, spinning away from the left-hander. It just missed the outside edge and struck his back pad. The umpire has no hesitation raising the finger, and though Asalanka reviews, there can be no reprieve for that. It's hitting middle of middle, and Sri Lanka's slide continues 98/443.6 pulls it straight to Nawaz at midwicket! There was an extended break as they tended to a niggle for Hasaranga, and it appears to have done for the dangerman. It was a short ball he didn't time at all, getting no purchase on the shot. And Sri Lanka are now in danger of being bowled out 241/742.3 on length, and Kamindu's pick-up finds square leg! It looked for all the world like he had helped it over the rope for a six. But it only found Saim Ayub who took a smart catch in the deep, ending a really good counterpunching innings from Kamindu 232/644.2 keeps low as it raps him on the knee. The umpire gives it out immediately, while the batter reviews as soon as it is given. It may be sliding down leg, the only thing that'll save him. It's only just - just - clipping, and Chameera is gone for a golden ducj 244/8Extras23 (lb 9, w 14)TOTAL288/8 (50 Overs, RR: 5.76)Did not bat: AM FernandoFall of wickets: 1-51 (Pathum Nissanka, 9.5 ov), 2-62 (Kamil Mishara, 13.1 ov), 3-90 (Kusal Mendis, 19.2 ov), 4-98 (Charith Asalanka, 21.2 ov), 5-159 (Sadeera Samarawickrama, 31.4 ov), 6-232 (Kamindu Mendis, 42.3 ov), 7-241 (Janith Liyanage, 43.6 ov), 8-244 (Dushmantha Chameera, 44.2 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR30.5 gone this time, to a SUPERB catch by Liyanage. This is quite the crazy fielding night for Sri Lanka. Liyanage had dropped an easier chance off Fakhar earlier, but now holds on to a screamer at short midwicket, as Fakhar tries to crash another back of a length ball through the legside. This was traveling fast, and to the right of the fielder, who dives and holds it low to the ground. 177/29.4 Saim tries to go over the offside, but ends up holing it straight to mid-off. Nothing behind the shot in terms of power, catches the splice, and it's the captain Asalanka, who has had two catches put down off his bowling, who takes it. 77/1Extras16 (lb 1, nb 1, w 14)TOTAL177/2 (30.5 Overs, RR: 5.7)Fall of wickets: 1-77 (Saim Ayub, 9.4 ov), 2-177 (Fakhar Zaman, 30.5 ov)
