11.46pm What a finish to this double header. Ian Bell's fifty got Islamabad United a score, but Pollard's own half century made it seem as if they hadn't got nearly enough. But the quicks who started so well also finished things off superbly, with young Musa picking up three wickets - including one with his final ball - before Sami ended the show with a hat-trick. He has one in ODIs, and one in Tests, and now he's got one in the PSL too. And on that breathless note, I'll call time on tonight's coverage. Thanks for tuning in everyone. More of the same tomorrow

Abhijato: "A stunning comeback from Sri Lanka, then an outstanding Hetmeyer century, a classical innings only Ian Bell can play, an epic cameo from Pollard, and finally a Sami hat-trick to round it all off... It's been a lovely evening for me and my Crystal Ball. The latted still has that magical glow, one we experience when we see something magical before our eyes. It's been a lovely day of cricket, and it was a pleasure to be involved. Long live cricket, and cheers!"
