OUT! Caught. Hasan Ali to Vikum Sanjaya. Off cutter length ball, off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid off, by Ashraf. All over rather swiftly. Good change up from Hasan Ali. Sanjaya is through his shot too early, and spoons up the catch to mid off.
Demolition job from Pakistan. An inexperienced Sri Lankan batting line up was totally annihilated there. Combination of good bowling and club cricket standard batting. The hosts should easily chase this one down, unless a miracle happens. A small break now before seeing if that is the case.
Hasan Ali to Seekkuge Prasanna. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, to deep mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Zaman.
SIX! Hasan Ali to Seekkuge Prasanna. Short, outside off stump on the back foot, well timed in the air under control over deep square leg for 6 runs. Seekkuge knows what is coming. He sits back in the crease, and smacks it over the square leg fence for a flat six.
Usman Khan to Seekkuge Prasanna. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, to long on for 1 run, fielded by Malik.
Usman Khan to Vikum Sanjaya. Length ball, off stump no foot movement defending, to mid on for 1 run, fielded by Hafeez.

OUT! Bowled. Hasan Ali to Isuru Udana. Length ball, outside off stump no foot movement driving, missed. Far too good. Hasan Ali is straight, and Udana misses. Nipped back ever so slightly, and it skims past the inside edge to destroy the stumps. Sri Lanka won't be batting the full 20 overs here, which is pretty terrible.
Usman Khan to Seekkuge Prasanna. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot dropped, to extra cover for 2 runs, shy attempt by Wasim, overthrow by Wasim.
OUT! Caught. Usman Khan to Thisara Perera. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, top edge in the air uncontrolled to short fine leg, by Ahmed. Eight down. Thisara tries to send it into orbit, but it goes straight up in the air instead. Bounced out by Usman Khan, it was top edged to give Sarfraz a simple catch. Can't get much worse than this for the visitors.

Dasun Shanaka to Mohammad Hafeez. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot pushing, to deep cover for 1 run, fielded by Udawatte.
It was comfortable in the end, but Pakistan had a little wobble at the start of their innings. 102 was never going to be enough to defend. An embarrassing effort with the bat by the visitors. The Sri Lankan bowlers gave it their best effort, but the experience of Shoaib Malik guided the hosts to victory. Pakistan go 1-0 up in the three match series. Can they seal it tomorrow with another win?

Vikum Sanjaya to Mohammad Hafeez. Length ball, middle stump on the front foot flick, in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket for 1 run, dropped catch by Munaweera. Sums up Sri Lanka's day. Hafeez whips it straight to the man in the deep sweeping on the legside boundary, and he shells it. Doesn't come much easier than that for a man on the edge of the rope.
FOUR! Vikum Sanjaya to Mohammad Hafeez. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed past deep backward square leg for 4 runs. Dropped short and Hafeez wallops it to the long leg boundary. Quickly latches onto it and rolls the wrists to keep it down. Nice technique.

APPEAL! Seekkuge Prasanna to Mohammad Hafeez. Leg spinner length ball, middle stump on the front foot slog sweeping, hit pad to backward point for no runs, fielded by Perera, appeal made for L.B.W. Another big appeal from Sri Lanka, but another good call from the umpire. Hafeez sweeps again and is hit on the front pad, but the ball was sliding past leg stump.

FOUR! Sachith Pathirana to Shoaib Malik. Stock length ball, outside off stump on the back foot Late Cut, well timed past third man for 4 runs. He has been particularly good on that shot. Any width and Malik has pounced on it. Thrashed through gully for four more. Pakistan shouldn't have any problems in getting to this total now.
