The ball bursts through his grasp and grazes the side of his forehead before rolling behind.

2.1

2.1: Razaullah to Sineth Jayawardena, Review lost! Pitches it up, a touch fuller, around leg and middle. Sineth fails to connect his flick and wears on the front pad before it rolls toward the leg side, and the batter gets across for a leg bye. Razaullah is very confident with his appeal, but Farhan hesitates to take it, but eventually, he does with 3 seconds on the timer.

1.1

1.1: Mohammad Imran to Lahiru Udara, OUT! LBW! That is a beauty from Mohammad Imran. It seems he has brought his form from the previous match. Pitching it on a good length, outside off, nipping in sharply. Lahiru Udara hangs back and looks to block it, but it sneaks past the inside edge and wears on the pad. Appeal goes round and up goes the finger of the umpire. Udara is happy to walk off, despite his partner trying to convince him otherwise. Well, well, he might be regretting that decision now, as the impact on Ball Tracking is outside off stump and a review would have saved Lahiru.

Arafat Minhas drives on the up towards extra cover and immediately calls for the run. Farhan responds initially before aborting, leaving Minhas stranded halfway down the pitch. The extra cover fielder moves to his left, and with both batters at the bowling end, all he needed to do was just throw it on the bounce towards the onrushing keeper. Instead, he fires in a powerful throw. Kusal Mendis can't gather it cleanly, and the short third fielder can't pick the ball up in one go, allowing Minhas enough time to get home safely.

13.4

13.4: Dasun Shanaka to Abdul Samad, OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! The slower short ball tactic has worked out really well for Dasun Shanaka. Keeping the line around off.

8.2: Vijayakanth Viyaskanth to Hasan Nawaz, OUT! CAUGHT! A well-judged catch by Kamindu Mendis. Having strung a couple of quiet overs, Sri Lanka have their breakthrough. Flighted delivery, on middle and leg. This is in the hitting arc for Nawaz, who makes room and collapses his back knee to go down the ground. He does not quite get hold of it and hits it towards long on, where Mendis times his leap to perfection and tries to balance himself on his left leg after completing the catch. He takes a step further towards the boundary cushions but manages to put the brakes on and prevent himself from coming in contact with the fence. The third umpire is satisfied that it is a clean effort, and Nawaz is given the marching orders. Pakistan are now 3 down for 67.
