Here's something to read on Javed Miandad's 60th birthday.

2.20pm Some typical Pakistani firepower with the ball leaves them with a great chance of qualifying for the semi-final. Of course it won't be a walk in the park for their batsmen, but this is well within the realms of possibility even with their methods. Mohammad Amir, who hadn't picked up a wicket in the two games so far, broke open the trunk with the wickets of Angelo Mathews and Dickwella in quick succession. Junaid Khan and Hasan Ali backed that up with some terrific swing bowling to dismantle the lower middle order. Asela Gunaratne did well to squeeze out some important runs, but I don't quite think Sri Lanka have enough. Join us in 20 minutes for the chase. Varun will be with you for the chase. You don't want to miss this

Faheem Ashraf to Pradeep, OUT, squared up by the length. Looks to work this skiddy short of length delivery from outside off towards midwicket but ends up getting a leading edge back to the bowler. As far as return catches go, it can't get simpler than that.

Hasan Ali to Malinga, 1 run, lobbed off the inner half of the bat towards midwicket. They scamper a quick single

Hasan Ali to Malinga, no run, swung through early, missed it completely. Looked to smack the slower ball over midwicket. He, of all people, should have known it was a slower delivery through the subtle change in action
