	Pakistan innings (50 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
	Nasir Jamshed	c Jayawardene b Kulasekara	0	1	1	0	0	0.00
	0.1 we have a first ball strike! Poor shot by Jamshed, the ball lands outside off and swings away, not sure if Jamshed wanted to leave it in the last minute, he hangs his bat out half-heartedly and tamely chips it to Mahela who cups it above his head at second slip 0/1
	Kamran Akmal†	c Samaraweera b Thushara	13	27	19	3	0	68.42
	5.6 the openers are gone and a good catch by Samaraweera, Thushara bowls it in the channel outside off and pitches it up, Kamran shapes to drive square but gets a thick outside edge which travels low and quickly to the slips,Samaraweera falls to his left, cups it comfortably on the dive 21/2
	Younis Khan*	c Kapugedera b Muralitharan	23	113	73	2	0	31.50
	25.4 very tame dismissal, Murali continues bowling round the wicket and pitches it up on the pads, Younis tries to work him to the on side, lunges forward and ends up chipping it loosely to Kapugedera at short midwicket, one of the easiest of catches 78/6
	Shoaib Malik	lbw b Thushara	0	6	4	0	0	0.00
	7.4 he goes for a duck, he pitches it back of a length on middle stump and gets it to hold its line, Malik's caught at his crease on the backfoot and the ball hits him on the top flap of the pad, may be a trifle too high, I'm not terribly convinced about that, reminds me of Mitchell Johnson's wicket yesterday 21/3
	Umar Akmal	c †Sangakkara b Mathews	18	43	28	3	0	64.28
	17.2 poor shot and Umar will rue that, he gets on the front foot and slashes hard at a delivery which holds its line, thick outside edge and Mathews didn't have to look back for confirmation 53/4
	Fawad Alam	c †Sangakkara b Thushara	10	25	24	0	0	41.66
	22.6 that extra delivery has fetched Sri Lanka a strike! Poor shot by Fawad, he tries to upper cut a short delivery and gets a thick edge to Sangakkara who takes it in front of his face, the nick was loud and clear 67/5
	Shahid Afridi	c Jayasuriya b Muralitharan	7	18	9	1	0	77.77
	27.1 Pakistan slip further, Murali bowls round the wicket and flights it on middle and leg, Afridi takes him on and mows him high over the on side but Jayasuriya's stationed there at deep midwicket for the catch 87/7
	Abdul Razzaq	c Thushara b Jayasuriya	17	51	43	1	0	39.53
	38.2 Razzaq loses patience but it costs him his wicket, he tries to take the bowler downtown but fails to clear Thushara at long-on who falls backwards before the rope 128/9
	Umar Gul	run out (sub [CM Bandara])	14	38	26	0	0	53.84
	37.2 Muralitharan to Abdul Razzaq, direct hit from the substitute Bandara! Razzaq opens the face of the bat and squezzes it out towards short third man and looks to pinch a quick single, there's a near collision mid-pitch, Bandara knows Gul is struggling and fires a direct hit at the striker's end, Gul's way out of his crease despite the dive and the third umpire takes a look 125/8
	Mohammad Aamer	not out	24		32	3	0	75.00
	Saeed Ajmal	run out (Malinga)	16		23	1	0	69.56
	46.6 Malinga to Mohammad Aamer, an under arm flick ends the innings, Aamer drops the ball in front of him and they try to pinch a quick single, Ajmal is struggling to make his ground but Malinga was too quick for him, he under arms the ball on the dive and the third umpire takes a look at the direct hit 168/10

The lower order give batting lessons again to the specialists. But the score of 168 seems quite inadequate at this stage. Pakistan really should have opted for the third Powerplay earlier, when Afridi and Razzaq came together.This might still be a tricky score if Sri Lanka lose a couple early. It's still very windy and the ball is swinging.
