- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.1 but as we say that, Haris cleans him up and breaks the partnership! It was a touch too close to the body to pull, and he never got his feet moving. Mishara has chopped on a couple of times and got away with it, but Nissanka pays the price first time he gets an inside edge. Pakistan break an enterprising opening stand 55/111.4 Edged and gone! Again the lack of a footwork proving to be Mishara's biggest enemy, but take nothing away from this delivery, which has pitched on a back of a length around leg and seamed away fairly sharply across off. Mishara just has a poke at it and gets thin edge through to the keeper. The series trend continues then as Sri Lanka again lose two set batters in relatively quick succession 69/224.1 Right through him! Wasim Jr. returns with a bang! It's another one that has kept low, and really it's too good for Kusal. It nips back and catches Kusal in the crease, as it sneaks between bat and pad to clatter low into middle stump 112/335.2 lovely. Gets a wrist-spinner's dream! Drifts, lands well outside off, and when Sadeera tried to reach out to defend, it zips through bat and pad and knocks his middle peg back. Sensational from Faisal Akram, who is having a great day 166/625.6 softest of dismissals. He comes down the track and this time spoons it back to the bowler. Even Faisal can't believe how easy that was. Sri Lanka lose two in two overs 123/430.3 chops on! It happens again! Once more, it was too close to cut, and it kept just a little low. The hands reached out for it and it takes the underedge onto the stumps. Sri Lanka lose half their side 143/545.2 And that is that! Low full toss, whipped to deep square leg. Wants two immediately, and he puts in the dive to come back for the second. Pavan reckons he's safe but they go upstairs in any case. Rizwan wasn't convinced either, but he's just short. Sri Lanka's innings, which struggled to ever really get going ends in a whimper as they're bowled out for 211 211/1038.5 yorker, and he gives it! Great delivery from Shaheen. It hit him on the toe, and the only decision the umpire had was if the angle would have taken it down leg. The umpire doesn't think so, and Sri Lanka send it upstairs It's umpire's call on impact, and he has to go! Sri Lanka slide further 180/741.5 That's how you bowl to the tail! Searing from Wasim Jr.! Just an absolutely scorching yorker, reversing in to the base of middle stump. Vandersay fancies himself a bit of a batter, but this was a far, far too good. And Sri Lanka lose their eigth - in very real danger of not using up all their overs here 193/844.5 Rauf has another! What's happened here?! Rauf thinks he's got his man. This was fiery from Rauf, as it rears back from a back of a length. Has Madushan hopping in his crease looking to fend it away. The ball pops up to Haseebullah, but the umpire says there was no bat or glove. Replays though show it was clearly glove! 210/9Extras12 (b 2, lb 3, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL211 all out (45.2 Overs, RR: 4.65)Fall of wickets: 1-55 (Pathum Nissanka, 8.1 ov), 2-69 (Kamil Mishara, 11.4 ov), 3-112 (Kusal Mendis, 24.1 ov), 4-123 (Kamindu Mendis, 25.6 ov), 5-143 (Janith Liyanage, 30.3 ov), 6-166 (Sadeera Samarawickrama, 35.2 ov), 7-180 (Maheesh Theekshana, 38.5 ov), 8-193 (Jeffrey Vandersay, 41.5 ov), 9-210 (Pramod Madushan, 44.5 ov), 10-211 (Pavan Rathnayake, 45.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.2 smeared to midwicket, and it's a phenomenal catch in the deep. Kamindu raced in and dived forward and took a spectacular grab in the deep to finally break through, a wicket Sri Lanka have needed badly. Fakhar does his job, and has set it up nicely for everyone below 82/23.6 and it's slapped straight to mid-on! Theekshana had been spinning a web round him, and finally strikes. You could see it coming. Haseeb looked uncomfortable and kept going for low-percentage shots. Well-deserved wicket for the visitors. And of course, the crowd finds its voice as Babar walks to the crease 8/120.3 Done in with the top spinner! This was tossed up on a good length around off, and Babar looks to defend - though he's playing for some turn - the ball however zips through bat and pad, and clatters into off stump. The length of the ball also seemed to have Babar in two minds as to whether come forward or stay back, in the end the gap between bat and pad was gaping. Vandersay gets his second 101/324.3 Vandersay gets his third! Huge appeal for leg before and this looked closer than the last one! SL have one review left and after some deliberation they take it. This was the googly, that snuck past the forward defence and struck Salman on the back leg. Is it line with the stumps though? No bat involved, and that's a fantastic review from the Sri Lankans - three reds and Pakistan have lost their fourth! 115/4Extras17 (b 5, lb 2, nb 1, w 9)TOTAL215/4 (44.4 Overs, RR: 4.81)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Haseebullah Khan, 3.6 ov), 2-82 (Fakhar Zaman, 15.2 ov), 3-101 (Babar Azam, 20.3 ov), 4-115 (Salman Agha, 24.3 ov)
