    18.6 But now he holes out! Udara falls in the penultimate over for 91! This was just short of a yorker length, as Udara gets under it and digs it out but only as far as the roaming long-on, who moves to his right and holds on 172/7
    0.5 holes out to third man! A bit of a wild slog from Mendis, trying to carve it over point. But he gets a top edge, and the pace of the ball takes it straight to the fielder at third man. Naseem pumps his fists as he salvages a poor over with a huge wicket. 9/1
    3.3 Mishara's struggle of an innings comes to an end. He had barely got any deliveries out of the middle, and this was no different. He attempted another pull, but got nowhere near, and Fakhar Zaman settles underneath the catch and sends him on his way 18/2
    9.4 Saim Ayub strikes! Kamindu tried to sweep against the line but gets the upper edge. Fakhar Zaman raced in and ends up clinging on as he dives forward for the catch. It was a partnership that had started to threaten Pakistan, but one that Ayub has broken. Enterprising little innings comes to an end 78/3
    10.1 Blinder! Arachchige's outing is a brief one as he hangs a bat out for this short and wide one, looking to lift it over backward point - but the man there springs to his left and holds on excellently. Sri Lanka have lost two in quick succession, and suddenly are in a bit of bother 83/4
    15.5 But now he's gone! Big moment in the game. This was another drag down, outside off, and Shanaka has looked to go high over extra cover but he just can't connect as he would like. It's a mistimed swat that ends up being taken very well by long-off diving forward 140/5
    18.3 Bowled him! Wellalage moves right across the crease, looking to scoop this to fine leg. But Naseem read this perfectly - full, straight and swing in towards the base of middle and leg. Pakistan are into the tail. 167/6
    19.1 Maiden T20I scalp for Razaullah! Slow and short, into the pitch. Top edge on the attempted pull as Razaullah calls for it early and makes no mistake 172/8

    17.5 Farhan is gone! But he's surely done enough for his side! And a word for Arachchige at deep midwicket, who has taken an absolutely scorcher here. This was another low full toss, whipped away in front of square. It looks to always be dying on the man running in from the boundary, but he's flung himself at the ball and held on quite miraculously. 179/5
    5.1 much-needed breakthrough for Sri Lanka. Fakhar looked to carve Eshan through square, but this time the edge is fainter, and the ball goes through to the keeper largely undisturbed. The opener goes after a breezy 21 54/1
    13.5 Belated breakthrough! But you have to wonder if it's all academic at this point. Shifted around the wicket and angled this carrom ball from wide of the crease. Bit of deviation off the surface beats the drive, as Maaz is struck on the back pad. No doubt as the umpire raises the finger. Ends a 92-run second wicket stand 146/2
    14.1 And another one goes! Does the door squeak open a touch here? This was a nothing ball really, length on the pads. Nawaz though gets a little tickle, as Kusal does well to dive to his left and hold on. 100 T20I wickets for Chameera as well 147/3
    15.1 Right through him! This was a full and straight, the carrom ball again. Saim playing back to one he should never have been back too. This skids off the surface and it's right through the defences 156/4

    18.2 Not over yet! Shadab looks to hit this into next Friday, but ends up just top edging the pull as this skier is taken comfortably at deep fine leg 180/6
