OUT! Bowled. Hasan Ali to Lahiru Gamage. Off cutter length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, missed. Wonderful bowling from Hasan Ali. He wraps up the innings with a well disguised slower ball. Rolls his fingers across it, the number eleven is through the shot far too early, and the ball loops through to hit middle and off.
A thoroughly professsional display from Pakistan in the field. All the bowlers contributing in some way, and some excellent catch and ground fielding. Sri Lanka did not help themselves with a large majority of the wickets due to poor shots, so this will take some defending. Pakistan huge favourite to stroll to victory, and make it 4-0 after four games.

FOUR! Hasan Ali to Suranga Lakmal. Short, outside off stump on the back foot hooking, top edge in the air uncontrolled past fine leg for 4 runs.

OUT! Caught. Imad Wasim to Lahiru Thirimanne. Stock ball half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed to extra cover, by Azam. Good knock from Thirimanne, but another tame dismissal for a Sri Lankan batsman. Looks to drive Imad through the offside, isn't quite to the pitch, and ends up chipping it straight to extra cover. The visitors are well below par here.

SIX! Milinda Siriwardana to Shoaib Malik. Stock ball half volley, to leg down the track driving, well timed in the air under control over long off for 6 runs. Finished in style. Shoaib Malik sprints down and deposits it back ground the ground for his third six.
Another comprehensive victory for the home side. 173 was always going to be a difficult total to defend. The Sri Lankan batsmen could not cope with the Pakistani bowling attack, then Babar Azam and Malik calmly stroked their way to victory. That is now 4-0 after four games. The whitewash now definitely on the cards with just one match left.
FOUR! Milinda Siriwardana to Shoaib Malik. Stock length ball, middle stump down the track Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled past long on for 4 runs, dropped catch by Perera. Sri Lanka throwing in the towel. Malik miscues it down the throat of long on, but he comes in too far, and drops it over his head for four. Horror fielding.

Sri Lanka should perhaps be trying some more funky fields and attacking catchers. They have just let Pakistan do their business over the last couple of hours. Too late to do anything about it now though.
