    17.2 Nissanka slashes it to point and throws his head back in disappointment. Shadab drops it short and outside off, the cut was on, but Nissanka hits it straight into the lap of Shafique at point. Fifty and out 107/2
    1.4 And now he's nicked through! Ali strikes early! This was short of a length and wide of off, similar to one earlier in the over. Perera looks to flay this over point but there's a bit of extra bounce that induces the edge as the keeper completes a regulation take 5/1
    28.5 Holes out at the edge of the midwicket boundary. Imam clings onto the catch in the deep after having dropped one earlier in the afternoon. Top catch to end a top innings. Slower offcutter, 119s, on middle, swiped in the air. Imam takes the catch, then loses his balance, but keeps the ball in his hands. For a moment, it appeared like Mendis had nailed this too. Respite for Pakistan 218/3
    47.6 caught behind playing the reverse pull. He goes for that shot because there's no one at the boundary at backward of point. If it had come off, if he'd gotten a little more bat on it, it would've been four. Gambled and lost, but only on this ball. On every other ball, his gamble worked. Sadeera walks back after a very special century. 335/7
    30.1 Hasan has another! Pakistan are clawing themselves back into the game! This was angled away from Asalanka again, and Asalanka is planted to his crease just plays this away from the body with an angled bat and gets a thick edge that the keeper takes well to his left 229/4
    41.1 down the track and sliced to long-off. Fairly simple catch for Afridi. De Silva shows his ace a bit too early, Nawaz drags his length back and finds some turn to mess with the batter's timing 294/5
    46.3 Caught by Babar running in from long-off. Back of a length and outside off, Shanaka clears his front leg but does not get hold of this. Plinked to long-off. Possibly a cutter from Afridi 324/6
    49.6 Holes out to sweeper cover off the last ball. Shafique settles under this. Rauf has a smile on his face. Rauf misses the yorker, comes out as a full-toss, which is sliced to the outfielder. Two wickets and just one run off the last over, bowled by Rauf 344/9
    49.2 Haris Rauf knocks the off stump out. He cranks it up to 146ks and yorks Theekshana. He backs away, Rauf nails off stump. Theekshana aims to carve it away but can't touch it in the end 343/8

    33.1 Hemantha the sub takes an absolute blinder! This was short outside off and Shafique carves this in the air towards backward point, where Dushan Hemantha dives full length to his right and grabs this in full flight. End of a Shafique masterclass as the Hyderabad crowd roars its appreciation 213/3
    3.3 Taken excellently at fine leg! Madushanka decides to test out Imam with a short one and he takes the bait. Goes for the pull but this one rushes him with some extra bounce. He gets a top edge that flies down to fine leg, where Kusal Perera rushes in and takes a well judged catch diving forward. Just the start Sri Lanka would have wanted 16/1
    7.2 Madushanka has the big one! And boy isn't he ecstatic! This was a poor delivery by any metric, full down leg, but Babar looks to glance it fine and gets a faint tickle through to Sadeera. What a gift for Sri Lanka 37/2

    44.3 Theekshana draws another chance, this is caught at point. The mystery spinner hides it away from Shakeel and gets it to turn away even further. He reaches out for the ball with his hands and slices it to Wellalage 308/4
