Riaz to Dilshan, FOUR, shot! Backed away a tad and used the room on offer, cut the short ball uppishly over backward point, third man had a lot of ground to cover and he couldn't get there in time
18.1 -
Amir to Dilshan, FOUR, hooo! How about that? Can someone name that? That wasn't a DILSCOOP but Dean Jones reckons it's a REVERExpress DILSCOOP. Some width on offer and Dilshan scoops it over short third man after moving a long way across
16.4 -
Amir to Dilshan, FOUR, oh! Nawaz. He is having such a poor day on the field. First with the ball and now on the field. It was flicked from middle stump and the fielder from fine leg dived full length to his left, the knee got stuck while doing so and he couldn't recover in time
14.0 -
Mohammad Nawaz to Dilshan, FOUR, agricultural swipe! Picked the (full on leg-stump) length of this delivery early and swept it with utter disdain, scorched off the turf and raced away to the deep backward square fence
13.0 -
Irfan to Dilshan, FOUR, please help-me delivery, sprayed down leg and Dilshan has murdered the pull wide of fine leg, no point chasing that lads!
11.1 -
Afridi to Chandimal, leg byes, FOUR, drifting down leg, Chandimal fails to tickle, on his knees and the ball takes the pad on its way to the fine leg fence
11.0 -
Riaz to Dilshan, FOUR, that's Dilshan at his very best. Cutting and driving the ball at will. Riaz has been guilty of bowling short this over. Another slower short ball and asking to be punished, Dilshan flays the square drive behind backward and jeez! that raced away like a tracer bullet - RAVI SHAZ-esque
10.3 -
Riaz to Chandimal, FOUR, that's arrogance. Almost like telling the bowler I don't like you bowling at me. Just stand and spank the ball mantra from Chandimal. Cleared his front leg and belted this shortish ball through cover, raced away!
10.2 -
Riaz to Chandimal, FOUR, top-edge and a boundary. Was a bit short and Chandimal backed away to play the flat-bat slap. Got a thick top-edge which flew down to the third man fence
9.1 -
Afridi to Chandimal, FOUR, Chandimal hit this one straight as an arrow and will reap rewards for it, gets to the pitch of the delivery and on-drives it past Afridi, the man at long-on was pretty wide and he had no chance to cut it off
7.2 -
Mohammad Nawaz to Chandimal, FOUR, tossed this one a bit, Chandimal drives it past Afridi at extra cover, no chance for the man from long-off to cut it off, he dived and got a hand to it though
6.0 -
Mohammad Nawaz to Dilshan, FOUR, and that will make the over from bad to worse, tried to keep it on the stumps and Dilshan went low on the sweep, hit it uppishly but there was no man at the deep backward square leg fence, 18 runs off the over
5.3 -
Mohammad Nawaz to Dilshan, FOUR, third one and this is probably the best of all, got too close but still whacked it straight past the bowler, you cannot set a field for those
5.1 -
Mohammad Nawaz to Dilshan, FOUR, this is better from Dilshan, uses his feet and gets to the pitch of the ball, slams it wide of long-on
4.5 -
Afridi to Chandimal, FOUR, edged again and it went past the keeper in a flash, teasing delivery outside off and Chandimal went hard at it, outside edge rolls into the third man fence
4.0 -
Irfan to Chandimal, FOUR, half-volley outside off and Chandimal needs those to get going, absolutely whacked it through the cover region, no need to run for those
2.4 -
Amir to Dilshan, FOUR, shortish and on middle and leg, Dilshan has picked the bones of it, pulls it well in front of square on the on-side
1.0 -
Amir to Chandimal, FOUR, overpitched delivery outside off, Chandimal leans into the drive and caresses it through the cover region
13.1 -
Mohammad Nawaz to Chandimal, SIX, 100 up for Sri Lanka! That's the shot of the night for me. Mohammad Nawaz is being taken to the cleaners today. It was flatter on middle, Chandimal jumped down the track, got to the pitch of the ball and smoked it back over the bowler's head
5.2 -
Mohammad Nawaz to Dilshan, SIX, even better, nimbles down the track, meets the pitch of the delivery and dispatches it into the long-on fence
17.3 -
Irfan to Dasun Shanaka, out Bowled!! And again! This time it's the off-stump's turn. The slower ball from Irfan, Shanaka was too early into the slog. Went down on one knee and tried to smite that over mid-wicket but was beaten for the lack of pace. Misses the swing and off-stump is pegged back. Dasun Shanaka b Irfan 0(2)
17.1 -
Irfan to Kapugedera, out Bowled!! There is something with this round the wicket ploy. Mohammad Irfan, the giant gets his name in the wickets column. What better sight than knocking the middle stump. It was angled in on a good length and Kapugedera exposed all his stumps to play a rash stroke through the leg-side. Missed it by a country mile and the middle-peg takes the beating. Kapugedera b Irfan 2(3)
16.0 -
Shoaib Malik to Jayasuriya, out Caught by Sharjeel Khan!! Holed out to long-off! It was flatter and outside off, Jayasuriya shows up his inexperience, looks to mow it over long-off sans any feet movement. Ends up hitting it straight down the throat of Sharjeel Khan who accepts it gleefully. Was a mistimed stroke, didn't have enough power too. Jayasuriya c Sharjeel Khan b Shoaib Malik 4(6)
14.1 -
Riaz to Chandimal, out Caught by Sharjeel Khan!! Finally a wicket! Against the run of play but Pakistan needed this badly, didn't they? It was a slower short ball slung in at the batsman, Chandimal stays back and drags the pull. Flew low to mid-wicket who half-bends and takes a fine catch. He fetched the pull from outside off and hence could only find the bottom of the bat. Chandimal c Sharjeel Khan b Riaz 58(49) [4s-7 6s-1]

Amir to Dilshan, 2 runs, Mohammad Irfan, what have you done? It's the second dropped catch today. He unfortunately, is the culprit on both occasions. The umpires are checking whether or not it was a boundary and seems like Irfan might have saved a couple of runs there. It was full and Dilshan went for the slog. The leading-edge sailed towards third man where Irfan made a meal of it. Was uncertain to stay back or to go forward. He comes forward and then backtracks and sticks out his left hand, the ball thuds him on the palm and rolled over his arm, just managed to save a double
4.4 -
Afridi to Dilshan, 1 run, he had the longest arms on the field and that helped Irfan get to it, but then his size did not allow him to keep the balance and he dropped it, it was a flatter delivery and Dilshan swept at it, the top edge flew high towards short fine leg, Irfan ran back, stuck out his hands, got both of them to it but could not cling onto it, Dilshan survives
19.3 -
Riaz to Dilshan, 1 run, short and around off, Dilshan was early into the leg-side slog, off the toe-end and towards mid-wicket
16.1 -
Amir to Dilshan, 1 run, well! Dilshan gets to his fifty! How important a knock is this for him? I'm sure it will do a world of good for the veteran. Short and just outside off, Dilshan looks to pull, does so awkwardly. Gets a thick top-edge which flies down to fine leg. The dugout seem relieved and Dilshan must be too...
12.1 -
Irfan to Chandimal, 1 run, fifty for Chandimal! Very important knock this. Back of a length at the hip, Chandimal helps it down to fine leg with the short arm-jab. Gets a good round of applause from the dugout
7.1 -
Mohammad Nawaz to Chandimal, 2 runs, bit of turn this time, Chandimal uses his feet and the soft leading edge rolls away from the man at point for a couple
