Naseem Shah to Janith Liyanage, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Pakistan right on top now. Wickets in successive overs and both set batters gone. Vicious movement and Liyanage stands there in disbelief. Good length delivery, nips back in sharply and Liyanage is rooted to the crease, the ball beats the inside edge and hits the top of off-stump. Liyanage was looking assured but he has to go. Sri Lanka in trouble now.. Janith Liyanage b Naseem Shah 28(24) [4s-2 6s-2]

Naseem Shah to Janith Liyanage, SIX, whoa! Where did that come from?

Naseem Shah to Janith Liyanage, no run, Pakistan lose a review. The inside edge was visible in real time. Not sure why Naseem wanted to challenge the decision.

The ball gets lodged into the pad and Naseem started to appeal..
